Oddfellows\u2019 Hall, There was a big attendance of representatives.Grand Patriarch Joseph Oliver, in making his annual report, said that sixteen years ago the Grand Encampment was instituted in Hamilton, \u201cAt that time we had only six encampments and a total membership of 157; to-day we have representatives from 58 encampments, representing a membership of 26,000, A new encampment has been instituted during the year, and the order is in a very prosperous condition.\u201d In his report, Grand Scribe M.D.Dawson says: \u201cI closed the books on Dec.31, 1884.At that time the encampment had 2,587 members ; during the year $830,87 was the total amount of relief paid, while $3,848.12 was the total revenue.We are out of debt, and we are able to present about $250 more cash on hand than in any previous year.Total cash on hand $804.02.The moneys revseived from January 1st to July 31st, 1885, amounted to $1,328.89,\u201d This afternoon a reception in honor of the Governor-General was held at the Cpurt House.A guard of honor of the 13th Battalion with the band was present, and a large company of distinguished citizens.Addresses to His Excellency were presented by Mayor Mason on behalf of the City Council, T.H.McPherson, President, on behalf of the Board of Trade, John Alexander, President of the Irish Protestant Benevolent Society, and Frank Mackelcan, on behalf of both the St, George\u2019s and Sons of England Societies.The Governor-General replied to each address, his remarks being highly appreciated, after which several leading citizens were presented to His Excellen:y, and the reception terminated, ee \u2014The dread disease called * the Siberian plague \u201d has made its appearance in three different villages within the immediate district of Odessa.Among Russians cholera has comparatively rlight terrors to those aoused by the presence of this disease, which js alike loathsome, fatal and terribly contagious, The abnormaliy hot summer, such as has not been experienced during the last six years in the south of Russia, is propagating in an alarming degree many epidemics.The nights bring little or no relief from the heat of the day.The crops are being scorched for want of rain, and apprehensions are entertained for the arvegt, the light is kept MYSTERIOUS MISTASSINI, Contradictory Reports of the Extent of the Great Inland Sea.QUEBEC, June 11.\u2014News has reached Quebec of the arrival of a special courier at Lake St.John with the official report of Mr.Low, the officer now in charge of the Mistassini exploring and surveying expedition, to his departmental head, Professor Selwyn, of the Geological Survey, conveying the intelligence that when this courier left Mr.Low was on the point of starting for Rupert\u2019s House, on James Bay, bavirg completed, it is alleged, his survey of the great lake whose real size has so long been shrouded in mystery.It is said to have leaked out, too, that in this report Mr.Low claims to have éstablished that the extreme length of Great Mistassini is only 120 miles and its average breadth only 20.Ifthe report on this head be correct it is safe to say that the accuracy of Mr.Low\u2019s claim will be at once challenged, coaflicting as it does so strangely with the positive statement of Mr.Frank Bignell that he navigated the lake last year for 120 miles and even then had not reached what might be termed the body of the lake, as it evidently went on widening and he could see nothing before him but sky and water, as well as with the equally emphatic assertion of a former factor of the Hudson\u2019s Bay Company at Mistassini Post, an intelligent and reliable Scotchman, who affirms that he navigated it for 150 miles an?then saw notbiuy to warrant him in the belief that he was nearing the end but tather the contrary.In fact it is said that everyone competent to form anything like an authoritative opinion on the subject ridicules the idea that Mr.Law saw the end of Great Mistassini, The general impression is that he has mistaken the bottom of some one of the many deep bays with which Mistassini*s coast line is indented for the real extremity of that great sheet of water, and this view is to some extent confirmed by the absurd shotness of the time within which he seems to claim to have completed his survey, judging from the date when the ice was reported to have broken up last spring and the date when the messenger must have left Mistassini for Lake St.John, RIVER DU LOUP.Reception to Sir Hector\u2014Movements of Ministers\u2014Mr.Mercier at

before they entered the mine, but ] notwithstanding this they went into the mine.There wera about thirty in all and they were supplied with safety lamps as it was well known the gas would accumulate.About 75 men were in the mine when work began.The workmen who were repairing the fan were the first who were overcome with gas and in about an hour later the same fate \u201chappened to © many of the miners in the workings.Before the men fairly realized the danger more than twenty became unconscious, Those who could then escape did so.Superintendent John Teasdale, with a corps of men as a relief, went down the mine to assist them in making their escape, and after being in the mine half an hour Teasdale and several of his men were overpowered by the foul gas and were with difficulty rescued.Others went down and in the face of immense difficulties, and in spite of being continually overpowered with gas, got out all but ten, Three of those were dead and the others are beyond doubt dead.Dr, Hughes, of Shickshinney, who went down the mine to assist the dying men, was overcome and was saved with difficulty.He was brought to the surface in a senseless condition, At 2

accomplished the reurion of the Central American States, I intend to 80 to New York to reside there and become a citizen,\u2019 The night before Bar- ios was killed a grand celebration was held in the

a lady shopper enters.Her eyes light upon that wallet as by instinct, and, while pricing half a score of articles, she endeavors to cover it, quite artlessly, of course, now with her handkerchief, then with her satchel, and again with her parasol ; bat the salesman, without appearing to notice her actions,each time removes the portmonnaie out of danger and into the light.she adopts new tactics, with the remark :\u2014 He there- Finally and picks it up, * Somebody\u2019s left a pceketbook.\u201d \u201c Yes?\u201d replies the clerk, interrogative- y; \u201cthank you.\u201d And he takes the

slight recovery, and for a time the market was steady, but fractional concessions were again granted, followed by a slight recovery.In the closing minutes lower prices were a ain recorded and the market closed as it opened, somewhat irregular.One feature of the market was that stocks that have been dormant have come to life and \u2018have been actively traded in.The small priced stocks seem to be more in demand, and outbuying is reported in a number of these.The advance to-day was most marked in Central Pacific, Illinois Central, North- West preferred, Denver & Rio Grande and Canada Southern, and the most marked declines were in Northern Pacific preferred, Western Union and St.Paul & Omaha preferred.Western Union, respecting which t e talk has been very bullish of late, opened at 71, and advanced to 71}, declined and closed at 693, the lowest price of the Jay, with, however, comparatively few sales, The greatest activity was in Lackawan- na, the transactions in this stock reaching 46,700.Lake Shore was also active while New York Central was quiet.Erie bonds opened at the highest price of the day and closed at the lowest, as did also West Shore bonds.The market closed excited and weak, The tolal business in stocks to-day was 225,100 shares, and the sales of Lake Shore bonds were 32,000.The closing sales of Illinois Central were ex-semi-annual dlvidend of 4 per

interesting account of a removal of a portion of the human stomach, involving nearly one-third of the organ\u2014and, strange to say, the patient re- covered\u2014the only successful operation of the kind ever performed.The disease for which this operation was performed was cancer of the stomach, attended with the following symptoms :\u2014The appetite is quite poor.There is a peculiar indescribable distress in the stomach, a feeling that has been described as a faint \u2018\u2018 all gone\u201d sensation ; à sticky slime collects about he teeth, especially in the morning accompanied by au unpleasant taste.Food fails to satisfy this peculiar faint sensation ; but, on the contrary, it appears to aggravate the feeling, The eyes are sunken, tinged with yellow; the hands and feet become cold and sticky\u2014a cold prespira tion.The sufferers feel tired all the time and sleep does not seem to give rest.After a time the patient becomes nervous and irritable, gloomy, his mind filled with evil orebodings.When rising suddenly from a recumbent position there is a dizziness, a whistling sensation, and he is obliged to grasp something firm to keep from failing.The bowels are costive, the skin dry and hot at times ; the blood becoming thick and stagnant, and does not circulate properly.After a time the patient spits up food soon after eating, sometimes in a sour and condition, sometimes weetish to the taste, Oftentimes there 18 a palpitation of the heart, and the patient fears he may have heart disease, Towards the last the patient is unable to retain any food whatever, as the opening in the intestines becomes close, or nearly so.Al though this disease is indeed alarming sufferers with the above-named sytuptoms should not feel nervous, for pine huudr and ninety-nine cases out of a thousand have no cancer, but simply dyspepsia, & disease easily removed if treated in a pro\u201d per manner.The safest and best remedy for the disease is Seigel\u2019s Curative Syrupé a vegetable preparation sold by all chew ists and medicine vendors throughout the world, and by the proprietors, A.J.White [Limited], 17 Farringdon road, London, E.C.The Syrup strikes

state that the documents copied therein, relatibe to my terms of admission to your Association, were obtained from me by a party named C.F.Burbury, who represented himself to me as Superintendent of Agencies of your Association and said he had found that things were not going on right, and he was going to seud in his resignation.I now ascertain that Mr.Burbury has no connection with the Association whatever, nor has he had for a long time past.I am perfectly satisfied with my membership in your Association and I regret that I have been unwittingly placed in a false position, by the unwarranted actions of Burbury, and am much annoyed to see my private business published in any newspaper.1 remain, Sir, yours truly, ~~ OT.LOUIS, Less 8 L A NEW MACADAM FOR SHERBROOKE STREET, Where Were the Police?Thoee who early take their walks abroad and happened to be passing Westbourne Terrace\u2014that is, those five houses on Sherbrooke street numbered 725 to 733 inclusive\u2014on Sunday morning would be struck with the novel attempt to macadamize the street in front of one or two of them, especially 729, from which the effort was made.The material consisted principally of boxes, bottles, and, maybe, one or more plaster images.There were glove boxes, candy boxes, boxes red, boxes tlue, boxes of every size and shape, bottles, bottles empty, bottles with corks, bottles without corks (mostly without), pomade bottles, perfume bottles, anti-Seott bottles, bottles of every color and wake, whatever that color and size may have been, but now, alas! broken, scattered and strewn on the Queen\u2019s highway for the wonder of the passers-by and to the danger of the horses that have to pass that way.But whence comes it all ?one is gure to ask.Your reporter will tell the story:\u2014Hap- pening to be passing thereby near the \u201c witching hour of night,\u201d on Saturday night, he caw a figure in \u201cIxion\u201d garment clad, enough to fright the coming day; this figure with mutteringa deep but not too loud, betrayed a spirit much perturb.d and in a state of very great unrest.With swinging arm he threw the boxes, boxes one at a time, boxes Lwo at a time, bottles io vary the dull monotony of the boxes, bottles to continue the strange macadam, then a larger box and this one evidently to conclude thie strange performance, for this last owe was on fire and for a moment lit up the street in front of this aristocratic-camed terrace; finally followed two bricks in quick sue- cession (whether the thrower had a brick in his bat your reporter cannot say), then the figure with the spirit of unrest and mostly undressed muttered a deep mutter, and givicg a last look at the sparks that were rising from the burning box, a box perhaps that had graced a toilet table, closed the window and retired from his labor.But the question is, where were the police?For nearly an hour this performance was going on.Surely during this time this part of Sherbrooke street should be visited by the city\u2019s guardians.Again, one would suppose that if ever a liceman visits this part of the street on a unday morgèng, he would on this occasion have noticed (if they are supposed to notice anything) the quantity of broken glass and the litter of broken boxes, the former, as before written, to the imminent danger of passing horses.- Church-goers were under the impressio that the scavengers had dumped one of their loads there, Again your reporter asks: Where were the police ?LITERARY NOTES FROM THE CENTURY C0, GENERAL GRANT\u2019 article on \u201cThe Siege of Vicksburg,\u201d in the September Century, will be accompanied by the story Of the other side, as contained in the diary of a lady who was in the city during the siege.Besides the reproduction of General Grants \u201c unconditional surzender\u201d despatch in this number, there will also be printed .a fac-simile of the despatch to Secretary Stanton, in General Grant\u2019 handwriting, announcing the surrender of General Lee's army at Appomattox.The original is owned by General Badeau, who gives the following history of the despatch :\u2014 \u201c On Sanday afternoon, the 9th of April, 1865, as tieneral Grant was riding to his headquarters from the farm-house in which ke had received the surrender of Lee, it occurred to him that he had made no report of the event to the Government.He halted at once and dismounted, with his staff, in & rough field, within the National lines, asked for paper.1 happened to be near, and offered him my memorandum-book, such as staff-officers otten carry for orders Or reports in the field.He laid the book on his knee and wrote the despatoh in pencil ; Le handed it to me and told me to send it to the telegraph operator.I asked bim 1f I might copy the despatch for the operator and retain the original.He as sented and I rewrote the paper, the original of which is in the keeping of The Century Magazine.\u201d

LAKE.The following letter from Col.Oswald to the Toronto Mail makes a matter clear about which hereafter there may be some dispute :\u2014 Sir, \u2014I see that the Mail, among other papers, has given praise to the Winnipeg Light Infantry, the 92nd, for unearthing the bodies of the victims of the Frog Lake massacre.Iam not one to hanker after public praise, as personally I would much rather not have it, but I am down on false statements, and do not hesitate to show them up.I left Saddle Lake with an advance party of Steele\u2019s scouts, and the Rev.Canon Mackay came with me.On arrival at Frog Lake we found the bodies I speak of buried in the cellar of the Mission church, which had been burned.Several of my men volunteered with Canon Mackay and myself to dig them up.It took us from 4 to 8 a.m, to complete the unpleasant duty.The bodies were then interred in the cemetery near by, and the burial ger- vice of the Church of England read over them by Rev.Canon Mackay.We did this for the sake of humanity only, and not for glory or.publicity.I removed the pockets in the clothes of one of the murdered priests, containing his handkerchief and beads, and took portions of the clothing from the other bodies in case they should at any time be required for identification.These articles I handed over to Rev.Father Prevost, chaplain of the 65th Regiment, at his urgent request.After my party had left, the main col- uma arrived the next day.The Winnipeg Light Infantry, for reasons best known to themselves, dug up the bodies in the cemetery and re-buried them.They certainly found them in the most natural place for them to be, but why their doing s0 should call for absurd praise I fail to see.I would not have brought the matter before you at all, were it not that I am heartily sick of all the abeurd storieg Corp APOut in the Canadian press of the wonderful deeds Accomplished by certain corps, I should no} wonder if they were all enquired into that they would be found to be oil a par with the above escapade.Yours, eté.; J, K.Oswarp, Capt.and Adj.of Steele's Scout Cavalry; Alberta Field Force, |.Calgary, N.W.T., Jnly 30.TAKE ALL IN ALL, \u2014 Take all the Kidneys and Liver

Riel, and although the hanging of Connors appears to have preceded the appeal, instead of vice versa as would have been more natural and possibly more efficacious, the judicial committee of the Privy Council, while declining to decide upon the case of a man who had already been hanged, expressed the opinion that prima facie there were no grounds for his appeal.To commit themselves even to this extent they must have partially examined the law and the case, and we seem, therefore, to be driven to the choice of these alternatives :\u2014Either the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council does not concur witb Mr, MeDougall or some subtle distinction is to be drawn between hanging for treason and hanging for murder that will prove more interesting to lawyers than to the person principally concerned.At present we have the lawyers who made the law.the lawyers who are enforcing the law, and presumably the lawyers of the Privy Council against Mr, McDougall so that we hardly know what to think about the matter.We have, however, this consolation that where lawyers of eminence are at distinct difference with one another a layman may fearlessly give his opinion, knowing that eminent lawyers agree with him, provided only that he does not give the reason for that opinion or the process by which it was formed.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 A DISTURBED COLONY, The political situation in Newfoundland is very serious, and to all peace- loving people exceedingly unpleasant, Political contests in that colony are made both bitter and dangerous by the introduction of the religious element, so- called.Party strife is at times sufficiently disturbing in small as well as in large communities, but when it assumes the form® of a war of sects and creeds there is no knowing what mischief and what misery it may produce.There is every indication that Newfoundland will very soon be convulsed by a contest not between Liberals and Conservatives, but between Protestants and Catholics.The Hon.W.V.Whiteway, Attorney-General of the colony, has issued a manifesto addressed to the people of Newfoundland which is calculated to widen the differences between the denominations in that colony by making the issue at the coming general election a quasi-religious one.In his manifesto Mr, Whiteway gives a history of the unhappy religious feuds that have disturbed and divided the population of Newfoundland for the THE HERALD COMPANY, (Limited)s MR.M\u2018DOUGALL\u2019S LETTER ON RIEL.We publish in THE HERALD of to-day à letter received from the Hon.William McDougall, calling in question the legal- last two years, and relates how from causing mere local breaches of the peace hey resulted in effecting the disruption Of parties in the Legislature and in throw~ ing the Government iuto confusion.The failure to oheain the conviotion of the Harbor Gage rioters wag made by M» White\" cay himself the oesaald® of intro- dung the \u201creligious Qüestion\u201d into the ity of the court that condemned Riel.\"The competency of this court has be questioned before, but Mr.Mel gugall may claim credit for a certr\u2018 à definiteness of statement that, other objectors have lacked.There |\", 5 certain poetic heaping of coals of fire upon his head, so to say, in Mr.McDougall becoming a champion of Riel that is pleasant to observe, but this does not affect the argument.Mr.McDougall holds that under the terms and conditions of the transfer of the North-West Territory to Canada the Dominion Parliament has not power to create a criminal cour?to try cases of treason without indictment by a grand jury, without a judge and petit jury in manner and form as required by the laws of England in capital cases, for while quoting the language that seems to give such power he denies that the power thereby given is unlimited.He maintains that in taking over the country on its surrender by the Hudson\u2019s Bay Company Canada undertook to provide for its people the protection of competent courts of jurisdiction, that all statutes and orders-in- council must be construed with reference to the common law and ir effect that to try a man for treason before a stipendiary magistrate and a jury of six men selected by the presiding officer is not protecting an accused person in his legal rights.Mr, McDougall predicts that the judicial committee of the Privy Council will interpret the guiding and empowering words as he does.Mr.McDougall\u2019s is a very captivating argument, but it is unlikely that points which, even to a layman, appear to be those that would first suggest themselves to the lawyers who govern us, can have escaped the consideration of the gentlemen who framed and passed the Act regulating the administration of justice in the N.W.Territories, or of those who are now putting it in force.Indeed the Act was in force while Mr.McDougall \u201cwas in Parliament, and although no case of treason had arisen to be tried under it one of murder had, and under its provisions an Indian was hanged.Now, te the man who was to be hanged under the provisions of the Act it mattered little whether his rulers called his deed treason or murder, and it might have been expected that a gentleman who framed and introduced the resolutions under which Rupert\u2019s Land came into the Dominion would have come to the rescue of the Indian as well as of the halfbreed.Mr.McDougall, like anyone else, may without authoritative contradiction predict what he pleases concerning the Privy Legislature.\u2018We need hardly remind our readers that the disturbance was an attack by seme Roman Catholics on an Orange procession.Thisis Mr.Whiteway\u2019s version of the affair and of the subsequent proceedings : \u2014 \u201cThis happy condition of affairs continued up to the close of 1883, when the terrible events of St.Stephen\u2019s Day, in Harbor Grace, took place, leaving a dark stain on the annals of the country, and startling the whole community by their peculiar atrocity.It is useless to recount the particulars of that calamitous occurrence, all of which are stamped on the public memory.A peaceable and unarmed procession, when in the exercise of its legal ri ghts,was fired upon in the public streetsin open day; five persons were killed and a large number grievously wounded.It is not wonderful that such foul and murderous deeds should have roused the warm indignation of all right-thinking men, and stirred deeply the feelings of the whole community, Such crimes called for the exercise of stern justice on the guilty perpetrators, and the vindication of the offended majesty of the law.The law officers of the Crown took immediate steps towards the discovery of the guilty, and the arraigning of them before the bar of justice.Their most strenuous efforts, unhappily, failed to secure the end in view; and verdicts of \u201cNot Guilty\u201d were the results of two prolonged trials by the juries empan- nelled to try the accused.\u201cThese \u2018verdicts in the face of the overwhelming cvidence against the prisoners, and after the impressive and impartial charges of the judges of the Supreme Court, were adwiticd by all honest, law-respecting men, whatever their creed, to be a flagrant miscarriage of justice which was calculated to aggravate the original offence, and prolong the disturbed state of public feeling.It may be truly said that the verdicts were calculated to destroy confidence in the administration of justice, and therefore must be regarded as public calamities.Under these circumstances I felt constrained to ask the House of Assembly to affirm that such was the state of public feeling in regard to these verdicts, and thus to place upon the public records of the country a protest against these perversions of justice.The Roman Catholic members of the House of Assembly, in one united body, voted against a motion to this effect, and afterwards withdrew from all connection with the Government, two of them resigning cffice because the resolution was placed on record.They formed themselves into a separate, compact body, and by their vote they refused to join in a condemnation of the obnoxious verdicts which the public sentiment regarded as a flagrant wrong.\u201d The introduction of the question of the verdicts into the Legislature having made it impossible for Mr, Whiteway and the section of his party that still supported him to carry on the Government of the country, he determined to appeal to the people and to make the religious question the main issue of the contest.This intention is unmistakably shown in the following paragraphs of the manifesto :\u2014 Council\u2019s decision, but it is to be remembered that thoy have recently received + \u2014_ \u201cThis action on the part of the Roman Assembly possesses an unmistakable significance ; and leaves no alternative to Protestants but to unite with equal firmness and derision, for the protection of their own rights and liberties, thus seriously threatened, and for the purification of the course of justice and the upholding of law and order.The condition of parties in the House of Assembly rendered it impossible to carry on the Government without an appeal to the people of the country at a general election, at an early date.\u201cI therefore earnestlyicall upon all who agree with me in these views and sentiments to unite in one firm phalanx, determined to return representatives who will faithfully gustd our sacred rights and interests and secure the pure and impartial administration of justice; and I ask oll true patriots to sink minor differences, and to unite for the maintenance of the great principles I have indicated.Remember that this course of action has been forced upon us by the grave crisis which has arisen in our affairs, The duty of the hour is unity in defence of our sacred rights and liberties,\u201d Mr.Whiteway in taking upon himself thus to appeal to Protestants, as such, to unite for a politicel purpose has incurred a most serious responsibility.Nothing but the most imm\u2018nent denger \u2014the direst necessity\u2014can justify such an appeal.Whether that danger and that necessity exist in Newfoundland we are not in a position to say.The natural result of Mr, Whiteway\u2019s appeal is to raise a spirit of antagonism among the Romau Catholic population of the colony.Many of that denomination who disapprove of the riots and who will not undertake to justify the verdicts, when they see a prominent Protestant public man calling upon Protestants to unite asa political party, will consider themselves in honor bound to side with their co-religioniste, It is never wise in a politician, if it can possibly be avoided, to evoke such a spirit as this.When the contest once begins to grow warm no Roman Catholic, no matter how much he may sympathize with Mr.Whiteway on all purely political subjects, can give him his support.He, therefore, when he penned his manifesto must have calculated upon driving into opposition to blm and his party almost every Roman Catholic in the colony.This division of a whole commurity into two hostile camps is greatly to be deplored.It isto be hoped that there are both Protestants and Catholics in Newfoundland who, seeing the evils that are sure to attend and follow a religio- political contest, will use every means to avert it, and will do their best to accomplish the ends at which Mr, Whiteway aims\u2014the safety of the rights and interests of men of all denominations and a pure and impartial administration of justice\u2014without plunging the colony into a long and rancorous religious contest, The exercise of good sense, moderation and forbearance among men of influenec in all walks of life can do much to avert juch a catastrophe, 7 Îr 1s SarisPAcroRY to find that Mr.Gar- diner, whose experience in Afghan and the Soudan was mentioned by THE HERALD as one whose proffered scrvices should be accepted for the North-West campaign, is spoken of as having performed his duties \u201cably and well \u201d by a correspondent who seems to have little commendation for anything that was done by the Government.tes, Iv spiTE of Sir Charles Dilke\u2019s denials it appears that he is to be made the corespondent in a crim.con.case, the plaintiff being Mr.Crawford, an officer of the civil service.Mrs.Crawford is a sister of Dilke\u2019s brother\u2019s wife.The case will, of course, be watched with considerable interest in England, where it is very seldom that so promising a sensation as a Cabinet Minister in the Divorce Court is to be obtained.However much the general public may enjoy the proceedings of such a trial it may be observed that they visit their displeasure on public men who appear as co-respondents in the Divorce Court.Sir Charles Dilke is already spoken of and pitied as a man lost to public life, and no one scems to question this decision.2 THE DEMONSTRATION, which appears to be the fashionable word for a crowd, and the resulting expenditure on the occasion of General Grant\u2019s burial has stirred the envy of seme other cities, and amongst them Philadelphia, whose equanimity is not proof against the sight of New York pocketing the whole of the money disbursed in consequence of this funeral, A Philadelphia calculator contends that 400,000 persons were carried to New York for the funeral, paying railroad fares to the amount of $2,000,000, the greater part of which finds its way into New York purses.The hotel harvest is estimated by the same calculator at $8,400,000, or $21 per head, and the inference drawn, and, indeed, the belief openly expressed in other quarters, is that New York\u2019s great exposition of mourning had a mercantile leaven in it.Perhaps the Philadelphia writers might have told their readers the name of some city which, upon occasion being offered, does not cast a furtive glance at prospective profits, Philadelphians would, \u2018of course, do no such thing, but then Philadelphia is a city of brotherly love.THOSE WHO TAKE an interest in the public affairs of the Mother Country cannot but be struck with the moderation and self-restraint exercised by the Liberal Party in Parliament.Although Mr.Gladstone and his supporters form a majority of the House of Commons they have not even attempted to obstruct the Government in any way.On the contrary they have shown a disposition to facilitate the passage of the measnres of the Government.When the House i8 is 80 disposed, can give a strong Government a great deal of trouble and can delay the transaction of business to à Very great extent.But although the Liberal Opposition is strong in the Imperial Parliament and the Government weak, the supplies were this session voted with almost unprecedented rapidity.The Liberals carried out in the strictest good faith every pledge which was made on their behalf by their Leader when Lord Salisbury took office.The Government, of course, knowing how weak they were, took good care to introduce into their legislation very little of a controversial character, but if the Liberals were vindictive and disposed to make use of their strength to annoy their triumphant opponents they could easily have found plausible pretexts to obstruct their legislation and to make them feel their weakness, But they disdained to resort to the policy of mere obstruction.-ee\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 WE Now HEAR that Mr.Gladstone\u2019s voice has completely given way.If this be so the chances of the Liberal party carrying the country at the approaching elections are largely reduced.It was Mr.Gladstone\u2019s speeches, not merely at Mid- lothian, but at places where a crowd could be addressed, that turned Lord Beaconsfield\u2019s government out of power in 1880.The course of events in Central Asia and Egypt have spoken eloquently against the late Government and resulted in so weakening Mr.Gladstone\u2019s following that his adversaries were enabled to overthrow him.They calculated, however, on such absence from power .being only until the general elections, when the voice that had before carried them into office was to perform that agreeable feat once more.If that voice is silent, where is the hope, for it was the oratory of the man that worked the spell ?Not in Mr, Chamber'ain ; he isa power in Birmingham, and not without influence in some of the more northern towns, but from Gladstone to Chamberlain is à very much longer step than tite people of England are at present prepared to take.There is much, very much, of England that knows not Birmingham.It has been an open question with many well qualified to judge, whether gratitude forthe extension of the franchise or the inclination to run in old grooves would prove the more potent factor with the bulk of the enfranchised two millions at the next elections, and if the campaign is to be fought without the aid of Mr.Gladstone\u2019s eloquence, the Liberal party will find themselves heavity handic apped.\u2014\u2014 AN EXPRESSION of regret is generally to be heard when any old family collec= tion comes to the hammer, A great deal of repining, for instance, was wasted in this way on the subject of the Dukes of Hamilton and Newcastle, In the public interest, however, these accidents are usually beneficial, in that {icy distribute collections of artistic work that would otherwise remain in galleries where no one looks at them.We have many pictures in Canada, notably those of the Hon.D.A.Smith, that were acquired in this way.There are acres of pictures in Italy that are probably never seen by the inhabitants of that country, and, from their number, only weary the majority of tourists.It would be a benefit to the world were these sold off by auction, There are thousands of pictures hanging in the country houses of the English nobility that are seen by very few persons until a financial catastrophe occurs in the family.A large number of very valua- bie paintings have of late years been lost by the burning of old country houses.The United States are now acquiring paintings of great artistic and financial worth, and some of these are so little cared for by their owners that they are neglected and spoiling.A New York letter, published in a newspaper, says :\u2014 \u201cIn the picture gallery built and so grandly filled by the late Alexander T.Stewart, hang canvases of great cost and in several instances of still larger value cracking and rotting away.No stranger can possibly gain access to the hall, which the collector was proudly willing to open to appreciative visitors.The other day, when a project of a loan exhibition of paintings for the benefit of the Bartholdi statue {und seemed feasible, a member of the committee went to the Widow Stewart to ask for the use of the finest Meis- sonier in this country, the artist\u2019s masterpiece, \u20181807.\u2019 She refused promptly and decidedly to grant the favor, * That killed the scheme altogether, for Vanderbilt has already taken the same course, and without draft on one or the other of these two galleries no good collection of French painters could be made.While in the house the committeeman was let into the gallery.He remembered where the desired painting had hung ten years ago and he found it there still ; but it was n a state of partial ruin, The colors were crise crossed in every direction by cracks in the varnish.This deterioration had gone too far to be remedied, although skilful restoration might have earlier been effected, and the best Meissonier in America is spoiled beyond redemption,\u201d rs THz PROPOSAL of Lord Iddesleigh to appoint a commission to enquire into the cause of the present depression in trade was opposed by Lord Granville on the ground that the appointment of such a commission would give encouragement to the belief that the evil complained of could be remedied by legislation.Several eminent men in England who are well versed in all matters relating to trade have declined to serve on the commission, presumably for the same reason.These statesmen.and publicists do not wish to incur the responeibility of leading the people to believe that Government is omnipotent.On this side of the Atlantic many public men have no such scruples, They act as if they wished the people to believe that it is in the power of governments to bring good Catholic representatives in the House of in Supply even a weak Opposition, if it times, and therefore if times are bad the perience is every day teaching men who have any thinking capacity at all the unsoundness and the mischievoustendency of this belief.They are finding that governments have surprisingly little power over the currents of trade.They see that no matter what the trade policy pursued times of depression and stringency come to all countries, Free trade does not ward them off in Great Britain, and protection does not prevent their visiting the United States and Canada.People are a long time in learning that their prosperity depends almost solely on themselves and on the goodness of Providence and that on the whole the best thing that governments can do is to meddle as little as possible with trade and commerce.Government trade doctoring seldom kills the patient, for he has a tough constitution, but it often makes him very sick, The fashion of looking to Government for help whenever trade becomes dull and times hard is enervating.Business men, to be successful, must think for themselves and depend upon themselves, They will find in the long run that politicians, whatever they may promise can really do very little for them, and that if public men were as honest as Lord Salisbury and Lord Gran- ville they would say so freely and frankly.DIED.PATON.\u2014At 1391 Stanley street, on the 16th instant, Laird Paton, aged 71 years, Funeral on Wednesday at 3

Can ii be pretended that the \u201clegal .rights \u201d of the inhahitants of the North- Western Territory have been placed under .diction by an act which subjects them to trial and punishment for high treason, by a.court consisting of a stipendiary magistrate holding office during pleasure, and | £ix +\u201c male persons\u201d selected by him ?The | «common law of England seaures to every person.charged with felony the right to be.tried by & judge holding office for life or during goed behavior, and twelve jurors lawfully empanelled.An indictment by a grand jury, of whom at least fwelze must agree in the # finding.\u201d is the first step in the trial.This *\u2018 common law \u201d is declared to be the birthright of English subjects who \u201ccarry their laws with them where- ever they go into new-found countries\u201d (2 P.Will.75), In colonies formed by conquest or cession so much of the old law remains in force as the conquerors may ehoose to accept, It will hardly be contended that the criminal laws of old France survived in the North-West Territory, after the cession of 1763, or that British subjects, half-breeds or others, living there in 1880, lost their birthright by the transfer to Canada, residents of the village of Chambly, Can- \u2014 gaaranteed to the inhabitants of the North- West Territory for their protection by the word, order, aud pledge of Her Majesty, under the eanction of an Act of the Imperial Parliament.I venture to predict that Her Majesty, through the Judicial Committee of her Privy Council, will interpret these words in their natural, legal, British, common law sense and meaning, The legal difficulties which embarrassed the public prosecutors at Regina, in their attempts to comply with the special and positive requirements of the Statutes of Treason, from the 25th Edward III.to the 11 and 12 Vict.(1868) are, to my mind, insuperable.With your permission I will briefly exumerate thew in a future paper.Wum.McDouGALL, \u2018CHAMBLY, CANTON, À public meeting of the ratepayers and ton, was held at Kaigles\u2019 Hotel in response to a public notice on Thursday evening, the 6th inst, Joseph Doutre, Feq., Q.C.was

village, on the 21st day of July, several ratepayers apoealed against the valuation roll at present in foree; And whereas, the sald Council refused to entertain the said appeals or to revise the said valuation roll; therefore resolved that a demand be male upon the Council to amend the valuation roll now in force in the menner prescribed by law, in order that justice may be done to all the ratepayers within, the Municipality and school district, and in the event of the Council refusing to revise the roll, we, the ratepayers now present, hereby pledge ourselves to support an appeal to the Circuit Court.2.That for the purpose of getting th: books, accounts and papers of the Municipality and School - Trust into proper form so that they may | in future be kept more easily and

to report upon the same as soon as possible at a public meeting of the ratepayers to be called to receive the said report when ready.3.That Messrs.Hanson Bros., public accountants and auditors of Montreal, be, and are, hereby ap- ointed to make the investigation of the ooks of the Municipality and of the Trustees of the Dissentient school.4.1bat Messrs, Doutre and Howard te appointed a

night, resolved to watch his patch.He and a friend, armed with guns, tok a position near the patch, but both fell asleep, and, upon awaking, found that two rows of potatoes had been dug and their guns were stolen.\u2014À fatal accident has just occurred at the St.Louis Hospital in Paris Two male patients, one of whom was being treated for Bright\u2019s disease and the other for tuberculosis, were ordered a sp-onful each of a certain mixture.The principal attendant pupil in the apotheca-y\u20193 department of the hospital made a mistake in preparing the prescription, and instead of the required mixture sent up to the ward nurse two doses of deadly poison, which at once proved fatal to the two patients.The chief apothecary communicated the result of his mistake to the attendant pupil, who instantly became almost delirious with despair, and attempted to poison himself, being only restrained from doing £0 by the energetic efforts of the other pupils, who were obliged to hold him down.So terrible an accident is unprecedented in the hospital.Æem _Advertisewents.BOARD.Vacancies for two or three regular boarders at No.60 Craig street.Several table boarders can also be accommodated.LA

held.Rev.Father Salmon, Rev.Father Sinnett and other clergymen will attend.The Society\u2019s brass band and Casey\u2019s string orchestra will furnish the music on the occasion.Should the weather prove favorable there will undoubtedly be a large attendance and the trip a most enjoyable one.The regular annual excursion of the St.Ann\u2019s T.A.and B.Society takes place on the 20th instant to Lake St.Peter.The arrangements are in the hands of a competent committee, who will spare no pains to make the trip one of the most enjoyable ever held, Business DepressioN.\u2014The aggregate of visitors from all parts of the States is far short of any previous year up to the same period.This falling off is attributed to the stagnation of business in the United States.Citizens who have returned home from Old Orchard Beach, Saratoga, Newport and other resorts in the States say the hotels over the border, have only about half as many guests as last year.More Montreal residents are at the St.Lawrence resorts than ever before and the number crossing the Atlantic is also up to the av\u201d erage this season.Public picnics were never better patronized than this \u2018year.That times are not so bad here as in the States is evidenced by the fact that every circus and big show is making for Canadas where they draw tens of thousands of people.Tre SuarLrox.\u2014There are at present 36 patients in the Smallpox Hospital, of which 30 are progressing favorably and six are bad cases.One patient died since yesterday and two were admitted.With regard to vaccination Dr.Laberge says that he has written to the health boards of all principal centres such as London, Paris and Brussels, for information as to their systems, and expects an answer shortly.The department, he says, would only be too glad if the physicians would take up the idea of private vaccination, but they do not appear very much inclined to do so except in the West-End, where the doctors have been performing operations, but in the East-End where it is most needed the medical men are rather lax.The medical men, as a rule, are all opposed to the idea of public vaccinatlon.To BE ExTRADITED.~~Chief of Police Byrnes, of Rome, N.Y., arrived in this city several days ago, ready to take charge of Fong Ah Yu, the alleged murderer of Ton Sing Lee.The Department of Justice, as is usual in such cases, in place of sending the warrant directly to the High Constable, sent them to the Lieutenant- Governor at Quebec, and he being absent at a seaside resort in the Lower Provinces, the papers were forwarded to him.A message just received from him says the necessary requieition papers are en route to Montreal, and Mr.Byrnes expects to leave with the accused on Thursday morning.The prieoner will be held on à preliminary information to wait the action of the grand jury, which meets in November, but the trial upon the indictment, which is sure to be found, will not occur until some time in March next.Mr.Smith, of the law firm of McLaren, Leet, Smith & Rogers, will go to Rome to act as senior counsel for the defence, while Messrs.Risely, Quinn & Perry, of.Utica, have been engaged as assistant counsel.MoNTREAL NEW VETERINARY SCHOOL.\u2014 As the teaching of the veterinary science is not to be continued in the French language as heretofore in the Montreal Veterinary College, still under the direction of Mr, McEachran, Professors V.T.Daubigny and O.Bruneau, having taught in the above Institution for several years, and wishing for the advantage of their fellow-countrymen and students of the first and second year who have studied at the above college, made arrangements to this end with the Montreal School of Medicine and Surgery of which the lectures on Botany, Chemistry and Physiology have, up to this time, been attended by the veterinary pupils, French Department.To render their course more important and more advantageous these gentlemen will be aesisted by five other professors besides a first-class horseshoer.The lectures will be given gratis, and their inauguration will take place on the first day of next October with an opening discourse which is to bedelivered by Prof.Daubigay.Those desiring to follow these lectures can apply either to Dr.Mignault, 155 Bleury street, Secretary of the Montreal School of Medicine and Surgery, or to Prof.V, T.Daubigny, 384 Craig street, Montreal.A prospectus will be issued in a few days, tr THE ISLAND PARK.Meeting of the Parks and Ferries Com- mittee\u2014Another Letter from Captain Labelle.At a meeting of the Parks and Ferries Committee, held yesterday afternoon, there were present Aldermen Dubuc [Chairman], Stroud, Dufresne and Tansey.The question of granting the use of the Island Park to the Noire Dame Hospital for Saturday, the 29th of August, was the first business, Alderman Dufresne thought that, in accordance with the motion of Council, they should rescind the motion of the Committee to grant the use of the Island, as it was for a benevolent parpose, and was only for a speciat occasion, The Chairman was in favor of rescinding the motion in as far as this particular picnic of the Notre Dame Hospital was concerned, but he was strongiv against giving the Island on Saturday to any benevolent society and thought that this should be perfectly understood in future.It was resolved to grant permission to the Notre Dame Hospital in accordance with the resolution of Council.À letter was read from Captain Labelle, of the Richelieu Cumpany, saying that his company could 1 ot run their boats to Windmill Point owing to there being no stated landing place for them to moor at.Besides they had broken the Cultivateur on one occassion necessitating repairs to the extent ot $200.For these reasons he asked that the committee reconsider the idea of making a trip to that point or elee procure him a anding place.Alderman [ansey said that the fact was that Captain Labelle and his company did not want to run a service to Windmill Point.He did not see why they could not find a landing place as the wharf was very large and there was very little shipping \u201d at that point this summer.As regards the breaking of the boat he did not see why that should interfere with the ser vice, they ought to be able to navigate their boats without calling upon the committee to aid them.Ald.Dubuc explained that Capt.Labelle had informed him that the company could not get any stated landing place, and they would have to land at one point on one trip and at an entirely different one the next, \u2019 The Chairman and Ald.Tansey were appointed as a sub-committee to meet Cat.Labelle and try and arrange matters.(Ald.Dufresne said that he had noticed in the papers that there was a horse sick with the glanders on the Island.Now, as this animal was loose during the afternoon, and ag large numbers of chil dren frequented the park at that time, he thought that the animal should\u2019 be removed if he really had the glanders.On motion of Alderman Stroud it was resolved that instructions be issued to have the animal removed at once if the facts were correct.Meeting adjourned.OUR LIGHTS.Meeting of the Light Commissioners\u2014 The Chairman Makes a Statement.At a meeting of the Light Commission ers yesterday there were present Aldermen Wilson (Chairman), Tansey, Rain- ville, Fairbairn, Dubuc.Alderman Rainville asked the representative of the Gas Company if they had commenced to lay gas pipes on Frontenac street as ordered by the Committee.Mr.McElroy for the Gas Company replied that he had received no order to that effect, and said that his men were at pre- ent deveting all their, time to getting in the gas lamps as fast as they could.Alderman Rainville thought that the Company\u2019s memory should be refreshed in reference tothe Frontenac street matter, and on this motion it was resolved to serve them with another notice, Alderman Dubuc moved that the Gas Company be instructed to place some gas laps in Hypolite street from Sherbrooke to Roy streets, which was carried.Alderman Tansey asked when the new lamps were to be placed in St, Ann\u2019s Ward.The Chairman, in reply, sketch of the work performed by the committee.As they all knew, at the opening of the year the plan was drawn up to place lamps in Dorchester, St.Catherine, Papineau square, the West End and St.Ann's Ward, On Dorchester street the work was not quite finished, a few more lamps being needed.This also applied to the eastern portion of St.Catherine street, In the western portion of both these sireets also a few lamps were needed, but the job ave a short would be completed shortly, When this was done, he was glad to say that both these streets would be completely lighted from end to end.As goon a8 everything was finisned in these sections Alderman Tansey might rest assured that St.Ann\u2019s Ward would be attended to, and that shortly, In Papineau square he had placed a couple more DAILY COMMERCIAL GAZETTE, WEDNESDAY.AUGUST 12.lamps than were asked for in the appropri- stion, but he was sure that the committee would endorse this as the equare had been in a state of complete darkness.It was.resolved to place two lamps in Dalhousie square.i ; Alderman Tansey asked if the committee would place a couple of lamps in St.Patrick square near the Wellington Bridge, where they were badly needed.The Chairman said that they had no appropriation for the purpose, but after some diecussion it was resolved to place one lamp}in the equare.A letter was read from the residents on upper St.Urbain street petitioning for some lamys in that section.The Chairman said that he would look into the matter and report at the next meeting.The Chairman read a minute of the Council asking the committee to report to that body on the propriety of lighting the streets by electricity.Alderman Fairbairn proposed that, as an experiment, say a couple of blocks be illuminated with the light.The matter however was dropped without anything further being done.The Chairman broached the question of the Gas Company charging $2.00 per 1,000 feet to the citizens for their gas.He inted out that the contract price was $1.50 on the consideration of prompt payment.He thought the company should stick to the letter of the contract.On motion of Alderman Dabuc, it was resolved (o send a request to the Gas Com- pavy to this effect, after which the meet- ng adjourned.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE WATER WORKS.Official Visit to the Works Yesterday by the Water Committee.Yesterday afternoon Ald.Donovan, Chairman of the Water Committee, accompanied by members of his committee and representatives of the Witness, Minerve, HERALD, Star and Times, left the City Hall and proceeded to the Water Works to inspect the works executed since the Just annual visit.On reaching the Water Works the first department visited was that of the boilers where several men were fcund, taking down the old Barclay engine, which had been sold to Messre.Chanteloup & Co., aud making ths necessary room for the new \u2018\u2018 Worthington engine.\u201d The boiler room was next entered, where several of them were being repaired and supplied \u201cwith new bottom plates.In this department there are twelve boilers manufactured by Messrs.McDougall & Co.By the aid of the new Worthington engine a pressure of 80 lbs.will be in constant operation.The present consumption of water reaches twelve millions and a half gallons of water per diem.WHEEL DEPARTMENT, In this department one wheel alone pumps about four million galions per day, and this wheel which was erected by Mc- Dougall & Co., of this city, in I864, has always given satisfaction.Another wheel, built in 1856, by Messrs.Fairbairn, of Manchester, Eng., pumps three millions.Mr, Lesage, the Surerictendent of the Water Works, in a conversation with a representative of this paper, said that as soon as the new engine is in motion about 18.000,000 gallons of water will be eup- plied per day.MACHINERY DEPARTMENT.This department contains & large quantity of apparatus.The annual expense of the department is in the neighbcrhood of $70,000, but this year, including certain extra works and the cost of the new engine, an extra amount of $60,000 will be needed.Fifteen men are employed at the Water Works.The visit was then continued to what is commonly called \u201c BUFFALO \u201d\u201d BRIDGE.This bridge, which is the property of the C.P.R,, is entirely constructed of iron.During the flood, owing to its being ratber low, @ large area of ground was covered with water, As itis feared that the last flood will be repeated, either in the fall or in the spring of 1886, the committee has resolved to notify the owners to have it properly fixed, The committee has also decided to build, at an early date, several settling basins in this vicinity.The next point examined was the new Inland Cut, on the Lower Lachine Road, from which our water for daily consumption is obtained.This cut will cost one million and a half of dollars when completed, and measures seventy-two feet in width at the bottom, and one hundred and forty feet at high water level, or an area of 1,477 feet, The Committee, after having suggested several improvements, continued their journey, when the REGULATING GATES were reached.Here Mr.Lesage suggested that a wall of masonry, as a wing wall to the present abutment, should at once be constructed, since during Ligh water serious damage might happen, it being with the utmost ditliculty that the water can be controlled for want of apparatus.It had, he said, been decided to have the work done at once, at a cost of about $400.This wall will be about twelve feet deep by thirty feet long, and will be on the right hand side of the basin.At Alderman Donovan\u2019s summer residence Mr.and Mrs, Sully received the party in a very hospitable manner.A bountiful lunch had been provided and for a couple of hours there werefjfeasting, both of reason and appetite and flow of soul.A number of toasts were proposed and heartily responded to, after which the party drove homeward reaching the city at 7.30 pm.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE CORONER'S INQUEST Upon the Victims of the Blue Bonmet Accident.Yesterday morning at 10 o\u2019clock a jury was enpannelled and an inquest convened to enquire into the cause of death of James Miller aud George Walsh and the circumstances connected therewith, The following gentlemen composed the jury: Mr, I.Beauvais, the foreman,; Thos.Collins, Francis King, Thos.McKay, Martin Mansfield, Thos.Lawrence, N.Choquette, John J.Ducket, John Caldwell, J.\u201d W, Lowe, Peter Schonfeld, Alexis Germain, Michael Hughes and Victor Giruard.Coroner Jones and the jury first assembled in Mr.Kirkman\u2019s office at Bonaventure depot.Before the proceedings commenced the Coroner had the following petition presented to him, but which he refused to grant :\u2014 Mr.Coroner Jones, for the district of Mont- treal : DEAR SIR,\u2014I do hereby demand that the bodies ot Walsh and Miller, kil'ed at the Blue Bonnets crossing, be removed to said place to proceed to hold the inquest.(Signed) OHN L.BRODIE, Justice of Peace for the District of Montreal, The jury then expressed a wish to visit the scene of the accident before the taking of evidence was begun, and a special train was at once ordered to convey the Coroner and his juryto theBlueBonnets crossing.Before leaving the jury viewed the bodies of the deceassd men, which were lying in a room on the other side of the depot.The bodies were roughly laid out and considerably mutilated, showing clear signs of the force of the collision.One of the feet of George Walsh was completely severed from the body, and was lying alongside of the remains.The faces of both were covered with clotted blood.emains, and the After viewin er , jury satisfying themselves that death had been caused by the injuries received, the party boarded the train and proceeded to Lachine.Upon arrival at the scene cf the accident the jury's atiention was first directed to the bearing and direction of the road, with a view to determining whether it crossed the track at a place sufficiently conspicuous to render it at all times safe for vehicles traversing the road in the direction in which the deceased were going.It was ascertained that there were no gates or signals whatever to prevent teams from crossing in times of danger, excepting that a very old man, Hugh McClary, who lives in a little cottage close to the cros- ging, gave warning to approaching vehicles of danger.\u2018The road at this point is so situated that anyone driving to the city should be able to gee an approaching tran for at least a quarter of à mile, but coming in the opposite direction (down tbe hill) anyone would be entirely ignorant of an approaching train except for the ringing of the bell on the engine, until upon the croseing iteelf, and in the case of a horse and heavy vehicle, it would be very possible for the driver to be unable to stop, and an accident would not be at all unlikely .Atter viewing these premises the jury proceeded to a hotel in the immediate vicinity, where they held an informal meeting, from which all repo:ters were excluded.A HEeraLD reporter learned, however, that the testimony of one of the men connected with the hotel was taken, from which it was ascertained that when the cart and its occupants reached the hotel they stopped and George Walsh (one of the deceased) seemed to be mnxious to discover who it was that was dead in the house as a black crape was hanging from the door, and urged his companion to come in and have a drink, but he refused.Walsh then went in himself and had a glass of ginger ale, Miller, and a son of Walsh remaining in the cart.The hotel is situated near the track.They then proceeded on their way and met with their death a few minutes later.Mr.Kirkham, who accompanied the special, ordered the engine to proceed along the line and return so as to demon- monstrate how well an approaching train could be seen from that direction ; he aleo ordered the engine driver to blow the whistle and sound the bell,which certainly could be heard m:st distinctly, The jury now decided to return, taking with them the old man McLary, so as to take his deposition.Before getting on board the spot where the bodies were found was examined, and some traces of blood distinguished.Mr.Goulette, Inspector, who was on the train which caused the accident stated that the train was running at the rate of about twenty miies an hour when the accident occurred.The party then returned to Montreal, when it was decided to examine the witnesses in the grand jury room at the Courthouse, commencing three o\u2019clock in the afternoon.Promptly at 3.15 the Coroner and Jury commenced taking the depositions of the various witnesses.Drs.Rogers and Valois then gave in their report of the examination upon the bodies of the deceased as follows : \u2014 \u201c We examined the body of Geo.Walsh and found a fracture of the lower jaw, ¢>mpound fracture on the top of the ekull, compound fracture of the right arm, compound fracture of the wrist joint, and a portion of the left foot severed.Deceased had been subject to rupture, and had a truss on.\u201c As to the condition of James Miller, we found a fractare of the lower jaw, face distorted, large scalp wound, severe contusion round both ears, showing fracture of the bottom of the skull; limbs not broken,\u201d Bugh McLary, the man in charge of the crossing, was next sworn.He stated that he was employed by the Grand Trunk Railway at the crossing, aud that in fourteen months and seven days he would be 100 years of age.Had been in charge twenty-four years, and his duty was to pags people safe over the crossing and stop the teams when a train was passing.When the accident occurred it was near six and still daylight, To;the best of his belief it was a freight train going to the city.Saw an express wagon coming towards the track, and went some distance to meet them, and waved his stick to prevent the driver from passing.Saw only thetwo men and not the boy.The driver took no notice of his warning, only whipped his horse the more and passed on to the track, when the engine struck them, He saw the bodies thrown on to the track, and found the boy, who had been lifted out of the culvert where he was thrown.The caution he always gave to drivers of vehicles was quite sufficient if they attended to him, and it was only his duty to expose the red flag in cases of danger in order to stop the train, He was quite positive that the driver intended to cross the track out of mere bravado, as many others often did, and that he miscalculated the speed of the train.When a woman was killed at the same crossing two years ago the G.T.R.officials mentloned that gates would be put up at the crossing, which had not been done, He did not consider himself responsible in the least, as he had warned the driver, who took no notice of him.À majority of the jurors put questions to the witness, but his answers simply corroborated the above evidence.Drs.Rogers and Valois then brought in their written report, which was read to the Jury and signed by the medical men and given to the Coroner.The next witness called was a bright intelligent lad of 104 years, who lived near the scene of the accident.In answer to the Coroner he said that he was 10} years of age, lived in Blue Bonnets, had received his first communion and quite understood the nature of an oath.; His evidence was to the following ef- ect :\u2014 At about 6 o\u2019clock last evening he was minding a cow on the hill near the track.He heard the train coming but did not hear the whistle, He saw two men driving a waggon towards the track, and one man appeared to be trying to stop the other but he persisted in whipping ihe horse and neglected the warning given him bp the caretaker, who was waving his stick and trying to stop him.He was perfectly certain they could have stopped the horse if they liked.He had often seen men whipping their horses to cross the track in front of advance.ing traing, He did not hear the men shout in the wagon, neither the people on the train.The Coroner then asked the jury to give the names of the witnesses they wished called and subpoenas were issued for the following persons : Antoine Parent, manager of the hotel ; Patrick Furlong, Mrs.Lowe, Archambault, Pere & Fils, residents of Blue Bonnets ; the engineer, fireman, conductor and inspector of the train.The inquest was adjourned till Thursday morning at 10 o\u2019clock.an.\u2014Mr.Gallagher says he knows he ia careless and absent-minded; but never again, he is positive, will he forget to close his jackknife before putting it in his hip pocket.ECROES FROM THE DOCKS.Statement from Captain Doyle\u2014The Batavia \u2014 An

Mate of the Windsor bark Piskataqua, now at the Point from North Sydney, saw the corpse of à man floating in the sea.It was dressed in black clothes, sea boots, and had a full beard.The body had been in the water for a long time, Bark Annie J.Marshall, of Digby, N.S., at New York August 8, from Plymouth, reports \u201c that on July 11 spoke steamship Venetian, of Liverpool, which refused to

all points of approach.The lightship which is moored about,500 feet N.E.from the crib, will be continued in her old position till further notice.A depth of eighteen feet of water will be found within 800 feet in any direction from the crib.Messrs.Anderson, McKenzie & Co.have received the annual cirenlar of Charles P.Mebane, ship broker, Wilmington, N C.Among other items on the paper is one referring to the cotton crop prospects, which concludes as follows: Steamers are not much liked, and will only be resorted to in the event of failure to get sailers.The few steamers that were here proved satisfactory to no one interested in them.\u201d The new channel to Wilmington is nearly finished, now giving 17 feet from city to sea on high water.Among 49 vessels chartered by Mr.Mebane last year was the Invermay, which took 3,820 bales of cotton November 25, 1884, In reference to the collision below Quebec last Saturday night between the Sardin- ian and the Benbope, Captain P.Doyle, of the latter vessel, makes the following statement :\u2014\u201c When coming up the river a steamship was eeen ahead, and the pilot, thinking that she was at anchor, ran up on the shore side, when the Bentope\u2019s bilge took the ground and sheered her across into the Sardinian.Those on board the Sardinian must have seen the Benhope, as the crew on the latter saw the Allan steamer at least ten minutes previously.The Sardinian took no precautions of showing by any signals that she was aground, whereas she should have had three red lights hoisted to show that she was unmanageable.Instead of doing so she was only using her ordinary under- weigh lights, as when the Benhope forged ahead, the mail boat\u2019s side and masthead lights were found burning, The Benhope\u2019s damage consists of the loss of two boats, maintopmast, and some small damage done by the anchors of the Sardinian, all of which could have been prevented by the officers and crew of the Sardimian,\u201d Captain James C.Hume, of the propeller Armenia, yesterday informed Tax HERALD of a circumstance which ha pened his vessel on Ler late voyage down the new Welland Canal which has been very annoying.It appears that the Armenia was kept at the head of lock nine from last Wednesday night till Thursday afternoon with 70 passengers on board, Had the canal officials notified the Captain at Port Colborne of their intention to make the repairs they had in contemplation at the place mentioned, the Armenia conld have been pushed ahead and got past the lock before the pontoona were put in place.As it was, however, the vessel had to tie np for over 24 hours for fear of something breaking in the canal below her while the pontoons were in the stream.And instead of taking a day for repairs when there were no passenger boats in the for Glasgow, arrived on Monday.Her & \u2014_\u2014 canal, as could have been done, the Cana) people compelled 70 people to wait upg, them at the lock and 30 more to cool their heels over the steamer\u2019a wharf at Toront while awaiting her appearance.Captain Hume does not think much of the presey Welland canal management, and Tefêrre to the term of office of Mr.Biggar, in 1873 when things were run more in harmon, with the interests of vessels than 4 present.MARINE INTELLIGENCE.PORT OF MONTREAL, ARRIVED\u2014August 11, Schooner Eugenie, 195, Captain William Caron, from
