are arriving for future requirments specially for engineering, bridge and railway purposes.PriLApELPEIA, March 21.\u2014The announcement of coal freight rates was officially made yesterday, and a large amouut of business will be placed at once.Consumersin all markets are running very short of stocks.and now that the last obstacle to business has been removed their orders will be received.Western buyers are still backward, but latest ad- vices show that orders are ready to be laced and their large stocks are wanted.he New England market is poorly supplied, aud large shipments will soon be arranged for.Heavy contracts for bituminous coal are about being closed with Eastern consumers, and the Clearfield operators are greatly encouraged at the improved prospects of their trade.Au- thracite prices are weaker than they have been for a long time, and unless there should be a sharp improvement in demand which is scarcely probable, the companies will be forced to continue to restrict their output.BAILWAY NEWS.\u2014Six millions second morigage three per cent bonds of the Canada Southern Railway have been taken by a syndicate.\u2014 Notice is given in the Canada Gazette

the statement that a million bushels of wheat were contracted for for shipment within Friday and Saturday, and 400,000 received for export.This 1s attributed to the reduction ordered in freights.\u2014The Trunk Line Commissioner on Friday created a surprise in railway circles by ordering another heavy reduction in rates on east beund freights.This is the third reduction since Thursday last week, and amounts to a decrease of about one half on the principal.The items in yesterday\u2019s reductions were as follows: High wines from Chicago to New York reduced from 40c to 25c per barrel ; tobacco, 32¢ to 21c per 100 ; grass seeds by car load, 45c to 324c.All these reductions were made on the application of the Pennsylvania Rail- Way.meer THE LIVE STOCK TRADE.\u2014 John Swan & Sons weekly report, March 7, says :\u2014There were large supplies of home-fed, fat cattle in Edinburgh.In Glasgow the numbers were rather less, The quetations in nearly every important market in England and Scotland are so similar that speculators have no margin for profit left at cost price.With the continuance of mild weather butchers, on account of less demand in the meat trade, are more easily supplied, while Lent, as usual, forms an important element in decreasing the consumption.The trade, therefore, is Cemparatively lifeless and prices exhibit to feeders generally most unremunerative returns.The same remarks fairly apply to the South Country markets.In Edinburgh there was a large show of good sheep which met a slow trade at a further reduction of Isto 1s 6d per bead.In Glasgow with a small show this reduction was recovered, a clearance being made.From abroad this week the ,supplies have been light Jcomprisisg 160 cattle from Boston, a moderate lot which met a bad trade at from 8s 9d to 9s er stone, losing the shippers heavily.rom Denmark 100 cattle, which likewise met a bad trade.The whole tenor of both sheep and cattle markets this week have been in buyers\u2019 favor.The expected arrivals of States cattle for next week are 260 cattle.Fat calves are exceedingly dear, while pigs also made rather more money.With regard to store stock, the continuance of restrictions contribute to the difficulties already affecting farmers in many counties, as while having te sell their fat stock at unprofitable prices, they are prevented from.replacing them with stores.Arable farmers seem to be handi- capped in all directions.Best home-fed cattle, current top 9s 9d, very exceptional\u2019 10s.Average price good quality, 93 6d ; secondary, a Top Trich, 95 3d; secondary, 8s 9d; inferior, 7s 6d/@7s 9d per stone.Buils and cows of all classes considerably cheaper.Best mutton, 10d.Hoggets, 94d@92d ; secondary, 9d; inferior, 8d per 1b.THE CHICAGO REPORT.Crcaço, March 21\u2014 The live stock market ru'es about steady.Sellers generally ask a little more, but buyers appear indifferent, and while very handy kinds of cattle are a trifle firmer there is no quotable change in value since the earlier part of the week.\"The week opened with a good supply of all kinds of cattle.The demand, however, was not very active, and while the few choice droves that were in the pens brought full prices, common grades of dressed beef steers were weak and about 10c lower.Neither shippers of live cattle nor dressed beef operators were inclined to take hold very freely, and trade dragged.Oniya few droves exceeded 1,350 lbs., and fancy heavy fat steers were merely nominal.Butchers\u2019 stock was fairly active and quotations were about the same as on the closing days of last week.Canners and city butchers were in good attendance and desirable lots found a ready market.In the market for stockers and feeders the demand was very light and the supply heavy.There were no outside buyers present, and yard dealers were not inclined to load up under the prospect.In fact the trade was about stagnant.As the week advanced the market became unsettled.Receipts were moderate, and ou that account some salesmen asked s'ronger rates.Eastern shippers on the other hand were rather inclined to demand concessions.This made trading very slow, Common to medium thin and rough grades were dull.Export cattle were also dull and lower, there being but few orders.Tidy, blocky, fat cattle were generally steady and sold at strong prices, but common to medium lots sutfered a decline of 5@10c, and the commoner drove of cattle weighing from 1,100 to 1,250 lbs.were chiefly taken by dressed beef operators.Tuere was a good average supply of butchering and canning stock, and a fair demand.The market was not very active, but there was no quotable change in prices.The canning and local butchering demand was ample to exhaust the supply of good cows and mixed lots at fully former rates.Low grades were rather abundant and sold glowly.Texans were in fair supply, and sold at $4.75 for corn fed lots averaging 800 lbs.There was a large supply of stockers and feeders.Receipts were moderated, but accumulations were heavy.There were a good many buyers here looking for bargains, but, as a rule, they were not able to get what they wasted, the demand being chiefly for good ones, while the large run was mostly made up of common lots.Toward the close of the week the market was sustained by reason of the small receipts.Arrivals were very moderate, and on the strength of that sellers asked higher prices.Buyers, however, positively refused to meet their demands, and some even bid Jess.The market was therefore sluggish, though there was no quotable change in values.In the market for buthers\u2019 stock there was no notable change.There is such a uniform strength in the demand for can- ving and butchering cattle that cows and wixed lots sell relatively better than heavy shipping grades.Low grade cows were dull and wesaker, but lots at all desirable sold at steady figures.Stockers and feeders developed no new feature, Ths supply was ample and the demand moderate.The feeling seerned to be a little weal, but good, well bred cutile were hard to get at what purchasers thouglit reasonable prices.SALES RANGE.: Prime steers 1,300 to 1,700

business situation is neither better nor worse that it was at the date of our last.Itis perhaps quite as good as could be expected, in consideration of the shrinkage in values which has been going on for the past two or three years, the enormous amount of liquidation which has taken place at the same time, and the phenomenally bad-weather durin the past and present month.The genera ontlook is certainly not unpromising, though it may be admitted that commercial prospects are not altogether rosy.It may certaily be admitted that in all human foresight the present year is pregnant with more hope for the commercial interests of the United States than itis for those of any other civilized country, after making ail due allowance for the drawbacks of an exciting presidential campaign.The period has arrived wheu a material increase in general business usually occurrs.The necessaries of life generally cheap enough to encourage a liberal consumption, but competition in trade is s0 intense that there is little prospect that either manufacturers or merchants will be able to enlarge their margins of profit to any appreciable extent and consequently a conservetive course is likely to continue.Wool dull with prices barely steady.Hides and leather active and buoyant.Naval stores quiet and closed barely steady.Refined petroleum dull and unchanged crude certificates the turn higher.India rubber lower.Hem and jute butts about steady.Raisins advanced.Tobacco and hops quiet and un- changed.Drugs and dyes quiet and generally steady.Raw sugar dull and lower ; Refined fairly active and steady.Molasses lower.Coffee entirely nominal, with the market demoralized for the moment.Tea easier but quiet.Rice dull.Spices dull.Pig iron quiet and steady.Tin firmer.Lead and spe ter

market to-day.Wheat was adversely affected by fine weather, better reports from the winter wheat sections, and dull Englisk markets.It declined seriously on free realizing by the longs, who bought

5,725.There were left over from yesterday 3,000 hogs.Tne Cincinnati Price Current says there is a continued light movement of hogs, and at current prices there is no urgency in the demand from Western packers.The packing at all points since March 1 has fallen about 50,000 hogs below corresponding time last year.Here at Cincinnati the movement shows an increase ; at Kansas City more liberal receipts are expected by next week, and thenceforward for some weeks a gain on last year\u2019s operations is expected.Our compilation of winter packing and stocks of provisions on March 1 at the seven large cities shows a reduction in packing amounting to 583,455 hogs in number, and equivalent to a reduction of 848,000 in weight compared with last year, while stocks of meat were equivalent to the product of 490,000 hogs less than a year ago, lard being slightly larger in supply.The exports of meat (including pork) since November 1 are about 15,000, 000 lbs.than a year ago, or the product of about 100,000 hogs.It is evident that domestic consumption of cured ments has fallen somewhat below last year, so far as supplies from commercial channels are concerned, and this is consistent with the idea of an enlarged slaughter of hogs the past winter on the farms and in the villages of the west, for local consumption, fresh and cured.Burrer\u2014The movement of butter continues light, and the

la Providence, appellants par reprise d\u2019in- glance.\u2014Act of the desistment from the appeal was granted.Messrs.Trudel & Co.for appellants.Messrs.Prefontaine & Co.for respondents.In the case of Cheval St.Jacques and Nadeau, thes motion for leave to ap peal from an interlocutory judgment was rejected.Mr.Brousseau for appellant.Present :\u2014The Hon.Sir A.A.Dortox, Chief Justice, and Justices Moxk, Tessier, Cross and Barr.Harrison and King.Mr.Justice Tessier\u2014Henry W.King, the plaintiff in the Superior Court and respondent in the present appeal, is the executor of the will of the late Colin Campbell.The defendant Sarah Harrison, the appellant, 18 Colin Campbell\u2019s widow.By contract of marriage between Sarah Harrison and Colin Campbell, passed before Arncldi and confere, notary, in July, 1833, Campbell made her a gift of the usu- fruct of the one-half of all his property in case she should survive him.Colin Campbell died on the 17th of May, 1873, and by his will, executed on the 11th of October, 1866, he appointed testamentary executors, who were duly replaced by the said Henry W.King, the respondent.Sarah Harrison took possession of the property given to her as aforesaid.Henry W.King was sued, in his quality of executor, by the city of Montreal for the whole amount of taxes due and unpaid upon the property of the succession of the said late Colin Campbell, one-half of which belonged to the said Sarah Harrison under the gift referred to, and on the 10th of March, 1880, he was condemned to pay, and did, in fact, pay a sum of $1,958.86 in principal, interest and costs, for the one half of which sum, $979.43, the said Sarah Harrison is responsible, and for the recovery of which and other sums amounting in all to $1,379.43, King the appellant.Judgment was obtained against the defendant for $976.70, and from this judgment the present appeal is taken.The payment for taxes on the whole property of the succession was proved as alleged.It is also proved that King paid subsequently to the date of the institution of the action, certain calls on stock held by Colin Campbell at the date of his death in the Citizens\u2019 Insurance Company to the amount of $600, for the one halfof which sum, $300, the said Sarah Harrison is responsible, but by error of the Superior Court she was condemned to pay the sum of $400 on the 19tb day of December, 1883.Some time afier the return of the writ of appeal, the respondent fyled a desiste- ment for thedifference between the two sums, thereby admitting the error referred to.This sum of $300 was only paid after the institution of the action, but the respondent admitted having received a sum of $402.73 on account of the appellant also after the institution of the action and it is reasonable therefore that this amount of $300, though paid after the institution of the action, should be allowed for as forming part of the large sum which is credited to her as paid after the institution of the action, which leaves a balance, after making all deductions, of $876.70 in favor of the respondent.In consequence this Court considers the judgment of the Superior Court, rendered on the 30th September, 1881, as regards the amount, erroneous, and reforms it and condemns the said Sarah Harrison to pay to the said Henry W.King es qualite the said sum of $876.70, with interest from the date of the institution of the action to final payment, with costs in the Superior Court against the said Sarah Harrison in favor of the respondent, but with costs of appeal against the said

Court was rendered by Mr.Justice Baby.Narcisse Beaupre, representing the rights of Maxime Beaupre, sued Jean Salvas, the appellant in the Circuit Court for the district of Richelieu for the recovery of the sum of $200.He alleges in his declaration that by a certain writing sous seing prive passed between the parties on the 2nd of May, 1876 it was agreed that Beaupre would discontinue an action then fending before the Superior Court in the istrict of Richelieu against Salvas, in the name of the assignee of the insolvent estate of one Beauparlant, on Salvas paying the costs and agreeing to give Beaupre the one half of the amount of his collocation appearing, or to appear, on the dividend sheet to be prepared by the assignee above mentioned and which collocation Salvas was entitled to under certain transfers made to him.This half was to be not less than $200, Salvas undertaking to make it up to that amount.Beaupre on lis part agreed to adopt all necessary proceedings to secure the collocation of Salvas alone in the dividend sheets.That Beaupre conformed in every respect to the said agreement, but that there never was a dividend sheet of the Beauparlant estate, in consequence of the insufficiency of the amount realized from the estate, which at the most sufficed to pay the assignee; that Salvaa, on the other hand, had not fulfilled his part of the agreement, and that under the transfer made to him the Plaintiff had a right to claim from Salvas the said sum of $200.Salvas met this action by alleging that the dividend sheet of the Beauparlant insolvent estate not having been yet made, eaupre had no right of action against him.That, besides on the representations of the cedant Maxime Beaupre that the estate Beauparlant would give Salvas a large dividend he, Beaupre, had obtained immediately after the agreement in question on account of such future dividend a sum of $300.To this plea Beaupre answered by denying its allegations, and re-affirming that if there had not been any dividend sheet of the estate, it was due to the fact that there were no monies to divide, which the defendant himself well knew.The parties went to enquete, and the defendant Salvas fyled two promissory notes signed by him payable te the order of Maxime \u2018Beaupre and respectively made at Sorel for $150 each, one dated the 2nd May, 1876, and the other the 5th of July of the same year.On his side the plaintiff, Beaupre, produced a statement of account intituled * receipts apd disburse ments taken from the register of J.G.Barthe,\u201d «the assignee, from which It appears that since 1872, when there were in the assignee\u2019s hands $3,229, this sum has been almost completely absorbed, The Court after hearing the case decided THE MONTREAL HERALD, AND DAILY COMMERCIAL

appeals his Court is obliged to come to the same conclusion.In fact, it appears from the terms of the agreement referred to, that Beaupre was to receive $200 from Salvas under any eircumstances, whether the latter was or was not sufficiently cel- located on Beauparlant\u2019s estate, and the fact\u2014contrarily to the expectation of both parties\u2014that there was no longer anything to distribute does not deprive Beaupre of the consideration which had induced Lim to discontinue the action instituted against Salvas, for then, as the learned judge said in the Court below, Salvas alone would have profited from the agreement stipulated in the writing referred to.Beaupre, subsequently to this agreement, took the necessary steps to compel the assignee to prepare a dividend sheet, but the iatter produced a statement showing that he had nothing on hand to distribute, and that there was no dividend sheet to make in this estate.In addition to this Salvas has mot made legal proof of the payment of the $300 which he says he gave Beaupre * the two promissory notes fyled by him.These two notes are payable on demand and the presumption is that they were given for value had and received at the time they were signed, and cannot, consequently, be considered to have been given in payment of what was coming to Beaupre under the agreement referred to.The judgment of the Court below is confirmed with costs.Mr.A.Germain with Mr.C.A.Geoffrion, Q.C., as counsel, for appellant.Mr.A.Gagnon for respondent.Present :\u2014The Hon.Sir A.A.Doriox, Chief Justice, and Justices Monk, Rausay, Cross and Barr.The Chief Justice delivered judgment in the case of Fletcher and Mathewson, James Fletcher, the appellant, leased a farm at Longue Pointe from James Baylis for $640 a year, payable $160 quarterly in advance.This lease was made on the 21st of September, 1875, for seven years from the first of May, 1875.Fletcher, claiming that the house was not habitable and that he could not remain in it, removed to another, and in January,1882, Sarah Mathewson, wife of James Baylis, took out a saisie gagerie against Fletcher, alleging that her husband, asher agent a leased the premises {to him and claiming $140 as balance of rent due on the lst of May, 1881,and a further sum for damages caused to tue: fences, and for straw and manure removed from the farm, which should have remained there.The defendant pleaded, \u201cI do not know you, I that judgment that Salvas leased from James Baylis.I have nothing to do with you\u201d With his plea he tendered the sum of $160 for Baylis, plaintiff\u2019s husband, which le alleged he owed him.The peculiarity in this case is that this suit being for $140, the defendant should tender $160.Subsequently to this Fletcher was removing the hay, straw and manure which it was agreed by the lease should remain on the farm, and Mrs.Baylis obtained a writ of injunction to prevent him from removing the manure, &c.She also presented a petition for an incidental demand claiming the sum of $4.0 for damages.resulting from the removal of fodder and manure.By the judgment the plaintift was allowed $140 for rent, $20 for damages by the removal of manure, straw aud fodder, and $10 for damages arising out of the removal of fences, making $170.On the plaintiff \u2019s incidental demand for manure removed, the sum of $100 was awarded, making in all $270, and from this judgment the appeal is taken.In this case Baylis passed the lease in his own name, the receipts for rent were signed by James Baylis, the property was recognized by the municipality as that of James Baylis, in fact James Baylis was the recognised owner of the property.In a former case I held that when & party dealt in his own name, for another, the latter could not bring the action, but the majority of the court was against me, and though I dissented from that judgment I do not intend to dissent now, as I consider myself bound by the judgment of the majority of the court, although my own opinion re mains unchanged.This decision, therefore,disposes of the question as-to Mrs.Bay- lis\u2019 right to bring the actionswhen she was the owner of the property.\u2018The other point is that respecting the right of the defendant to remove the manure, and for which he was condemned to pay $100.À clause in his lease bound him to leave all the manure upon the farm, therefore he had no right to remove it.It is contended, however, that he had purchased a larger quantity than had been produced, and that he had only taken a quantity equal to what he had purchased.We think he was rightly condemmed.We therefore confirm the judgment, but as there were a good many grounds to justify the appeal, the costs of appeal are divided.Messrs.Dubamel & Co for defendant appellant.Messrs.Robertson & Co.for plaintitf respondent.Present :\u2014T'he Hon.Sir A.A.Dorloy, Chief Justice, and Justices Mowx, TEs- SIER, Cross and Baby.Claggett and Beard.The Chief Justice and Justice Baby dissenting.Judge Cross pronounced the judgment of the majority of the court.The respondent, Samuel W.Beard, sold coals to the firm of Claggett & Tait to the amount of $323.50, for which he took their promissory note.Claggett & Tait sold goods to Beard to the value of $191.31.There was thus mutual credit given by the parties to each other.The note given by Claggett & Tait was not paid at maturity, but was renewed by two notes, one for $118.25, and the other for $190, which Beard discounted at the Ontario Bank, one of them thereafter passing to the Bank of Montreal.\u2019 Claggett & Tait went into the Insolvent Court, and the banks, as holders, proved these two promissory notes against their estate.They made a composition deed with their creditors, including the Ontario Bank and the Bank of Montreal, paying them thirty-five cents ia the dollar, amounting to $107.05 for the composition on the said two notes.Pursuant to the terms of the composition deed the assets of the estate were reassigned to Claggett, who sues Beard on the account for the goods which Clag- gett & Tait had furnished to him.Beard claims compensation for the amount due him by Claggett & Tait, for coals, allowing to deducted therefrom.the amounts drawn by the banks as dividends on the notes, Claggett, thus vested in the rights of the assignee, replies that the notes are completely discharged bx the proof made thereon by the banks and the dividends drawn thereon, that consequently Beard has no right to set o the amount due him for coals, for which he had accepted the promissory notes of Claggett and Tait, which notes he had transferred to the banks who bad exercised and exhausted all recourse thereon.They were, therefore, paid and discharged, and could not be revived by Beard to claim compensa tion by reasen thereof.Beard, on the other hand, claims that the promissory notes operated no novation of his claim, that mutual credit had been given, and that he had a right to oppose bis claim in a mt me gett & Tait.determined whether compensation had Question being submitted to the Superior Beard\u2019s pretensions.The question on the appeal comes now to be submitted anew to this tribunal.It will be conceded that if the notes had not been discounted but had remained in the hauds of Beard there could have been no difficulty as to Beard\u2019s right of set off, but it is urged on the part of Clagget* that the claun having, in fact, beeu transferred and the banks being in the rights of Beard having proved for and discharged the notes, Beard was left without any recourse thereon, and if allowed, in any respect, to revive the claim and obtain anything thereon it would, in fact, be a double ranking and a fraudulent preference got on this claim over the rest of nis creditors, and that Bear has now no better right than if he had proved himself; the option to do so by the banks representing him was as binding on him as if he had himself proved.The question is an extremely delicate one, but it is very obvious that the equities are all on ithe side of Beard.He could uot control the banks as to their proving: If he had paid the banks, before they proved, his right would have been undoubted.Should he be placed in a worse position because he happens to wait until the banks have exercised this right?Does the estate lose anything by his obtaining the same right after that proof, as he would have had before it?Is there a preference operated ?I do not find that there is any, or that it makes any difference fo the estate.His claim remained due at the date of the warrant of insolvency.1t was conditionally suspended while the notes were running and would have been discharged by the payment of the notes had they been paid, but no partial payment could have extinguished his claim.A partial payment only operated a deduction of what he had a right to get allowed in full, and Claggett,beiug in the rights of the assignee, was in a position to insist on that wleduction, when Beard should set up his claim to have the accounts squared, the one against the other.I am aware that in certain cases proof is looked upon as à payment, also as a waiver of se\u2019 off, but this mnst not be taken too literally.It must be by the act of the party having the title to make the waiver, and indicating an intention to make the waiver, or, at least, doinz an act which legally implies a waiver, he being the party directly holding the right which is to be waived.of the case and the one which the law wil sustain.In the work of Dona and Macrae on Bankrnptcy, vol.2, p.805, it is said: \u201cIn all the cases upon this subject the tert \u201cmutual credit\u2019 has been construed to mean that which must terminate with a debt existing on both sides, and if the credit be given befcre notice of an act of bankruptcy or petition, the accrual of the debt afterwards will be immaterial.\u201d In support of this these authors cite numerous decided cases.Lee on Bavkruptey, p.280, remarks on the principle of allowing mutual claims to be set off against each other to have been bad in view by the bankrupt laws from the earliest times.The cases go so far as to show that even where the debtor to the estate has merely given an accommodation endorsement to the party afterwards becoming bankrupt, he has a right to claim a set off before he takes up the bill, and although he does not pay 1t until after the bankruptcy, provided Le follows up his claim to the set- off by ultimately paying the bill, if he does so in seasonable time.This will appear by consulting the cases of Halme vs.Mugglestone, 3 M.O.W., p.31, Russell vs.Bell, and Mott 277, Bittle- stone vs.Pimmis, 1 C.and B, 389 and ex parte Staddon, 7 inst.356, where a party held the notes of a bankrupt for a sum exceeding £300 and moved his claim on Lis estate, but afterwards being compelled to pay a bill for £500, which he had given to the bankrupt for value and which had been discounted and was in the hands of a third party, trom whom the claimant withdrew it by payment of the amount after he had proved his own claim, the as- signee was ordered to repay him what he had so paid for his own bill and his proof against the estate was ordered to be expunged, thus allowing compensation even after option and proof made, In each one of these cases it is explained that if the bill, which should have been paid by the the claimant in such a way as would be likely to end in a debt, then the claimant had a right to insist on the set off.T admit that none of these cases are identical with the present, but I think they go even further in sustaining equitable set off, and show that it should be allowed in the present case, Beard being put in the same position as if he had paid back the dividends drawn by the banks from the estate.of the Court.- respondent.Perrault and Morin.rears for rent a writ of saisie gagerie was quite a

case, The first question raised is whether you can annul a deed ofsaleon à rente con- stituee.Some authorities say you can, others that you cannot unless there be dissolution.Another objection to the judgment was that it condemned the defendants to abandon the premises in three days instead of fifteen.That is not an error.There is not so much difference between three days and fifteen days.There is also an objection to tie insufficiency of the stamps, which were those of a personal action of the amount sought to be recovered, whereas the action was a real action, no pecuniary condemnation being sought for, while the value of the property is rated at $8800.Now, unless there is an appearance of fraud, this objection has not much weight.Another objection is that the right of dissolution of the sale does not exist de plein droit, but an opportunity of paying the debt should be given to the defendant.Here there was no delay allowed.The code provides by art.1,536 that there can be no dissolution of sale for non-pavinent of price except there is a special stipulation to that effect,but the code also provides that its provisionsshall not have a retroactive effect.The Legislature, therefore, only legislated respecting new deeds, leaving the old deeds to be regulated by the old law, not by the new.The deed referred to was passed previous to the adoption of the Code, therefore the old law, which gave a delay, should have been ordered the defendants to pay the amount.The judgment is, therefore, reversed, with costs in thie Superior Court, but as to the costs in appeal each

also 40 intermediate and 211 steer- been acted upon, all your plausible schemes for crushing other lines approved.Yet before the Grand Trunk has begun to feel the first breath of that damaging competition which is in store for it ; before the inevitable consequences of competition between the Grand Trunk and a railway which has not cost per mile one-fifth of what is charged against your road in its capi tal + account have even been tasted, you, Mr.Hickson, are obliged to open the business season of 1884 by changes and reductions which limit your capacity for traffic and are calculated to demoralize your staff.The Grand Trunk investors in England will naturally feel alarmed at the prospect, and I guarantee that they will demand more light on a Subject which will increase in interest the more it is probed.Perhaps I can aid them in their search after information, I certainly can, with your assistance, Mr.Hickson, and it is this small favor, which you have the power to bestow, that I now ask at your hands.really believe you have added to the traffic of the Grand Trunk by your series of per- this Dominion, until from British Columbia to Cape Breton the Grand Trunk is detested communities and even by whole provinces.Is this state of things conducive to Grand Trunk prosperity ?Take your own personal acts.Instead of being a railroad manager, vou have become a politician and a lobbyist.While you are inditing threatening jepistles to the public men of the country, your railway may be killing a score and à half of paseengers in the suburbs of Toronto.You are haunt ing the corridors of Parliament with your \u201cstaff\u201d while thirty or forty representatives of coal firms in the United States await in Montreal the opening of tendera And first I would ask you whether you secutions of other Canadian railways.You have stirred up a tumult in every part of by all classes of people, by hundreds of the latest attempts at monopolizing the railway system of Canada being, of course, the ffreshest in the public recellectiou.Take this miserable little Sorel railway on the other side of the St.Lawrence ; what did you need of that piece of road?What is there to justify your taking it over and expending money on it?You have got a million locked up in the North Shore road \u2014\u2014 Montreal to Quebec.Asthe English journals have poiuted out to you, this acquisition is actually worse than worthless while you have a second road to Quebec on the south side of the St.Lawrence.Your company have money invested in the Union Jacques Cartier road, running back of Montreal, which is lying inoperative, and which, were it running, would, like the North Shore only draw any through traffic it might secure away from your line on the south side of the St.Lawrence.You are investing in another line on the south of the St Lawrence, west of Montreal, which can prove of little benefit to the Grand Truuk, Your road has over two million of dollars in the Vermont Central which you did not need to invest.You bought a large portion of the stock of the St.Lawrence and Ottawa, with a view of controlling that enterprise ; but in this you failed.With the same object you purchased a large quantity of the securities of the Toronto, Grey & Bruce, but here too you failed miserably in your aims.In the Grand Junction Railway you have an unnecessary investment of à million and a quarter.You threw away a half million in an abandoned road\u2014the Toronto and Ottawa.Your company own about one-third of \u201call the stock of the Hamilton and Northwestern.You have got the Midland system at an enormous loss; and as for the Great Western, the obligations which the G.Trunk has come under in order to get - control of that road would, of themselves, account for np small portion of the Grand Where, indeed, have you mot taken.on obligations, where have you not incurred liabilities\u2014whether by purchasing stock or bends, guarantee ing interest, leasing, or in some other way laying the Grand Trunk treasury under contribution?The truth is, the resources of the English people have been lavished apparently without careful enquiry and with slight regard to results, immediate or remote, and it would not therefore be surprising if, in view of the eac- rifices made by English investors and the patient waiting for dividends which are never realized, the time appears to have now arrived when patience is exhausted, promises are not trusted, capital is calling for some return, and the arts and contrivances, which, for a time, may have blocked enquiry wiil fail to serve the purpose of their former use.Depend upon it, Mr.Hickson, the expedient of reducing employes\u2019 wages will not serve to satisfy your English employers in the presence of the worthless investments which the Grand Trunk has made on all sides\u2014the millions upon millions of pounds sterling thrown away\u2014the vast annual\u2018outlay which attempts at securing an impossible monopoly have saddled upon the road and its securities.Aud herein is the true secret of the Grand Trunk\u2019s unfortunate position to-day.That those by whose intervention the sale of some of these numerous roads to the Grand, Trank was brought about have fared badly, I take leave to doubt; and if enquiry be pushed in this connexion I dare say it will be found that, however misplaced Grand Trunk confidence in the financial consequences of these achievements may have proved, there were at least some who had no reason to complain of the results, Your recent attitude, Mr.Hickson, towards the people of this country has given you a fatal notoriety.Your humiliation in the Railway Committee and the House of Commons, despite your personal efforts and pleadings, have shown that the Grand Trunk\u2019s general manager has become weak as other men.You have invited attention to yourself and your methods, and your employers know that your policy has resulted disastrously to them.They will probably now learn that the grasping, turbulent despot, \u2014 the railway Ishmaelite whose hand is against every other railway enterprise in all this broad country,\u2014the stirrer up of strife\u2014the politician, lobbyist and bulldozer, is not the man who can lift their great enterprise out of the slough into which his recklessness, folly and incapacity have plunged it.On this point you will probably be more fully atvised before you are much older or have had much further opportunity of showing your zeal for the Grand Trunk by suggesting retrenchments which seem paltry and idle beside the overshadowing incubus which weighs down what was once regarded as a great and noble enterprise.NEXESIS.MONTREAL is à very healthy place in gome respects, but in some other respects it is nothing to brag of.It is said that Minto, the Scotch seducer, intends to settle in Montreal.We should suppose he would find our city very unhealthy for one in his position.In fact, he ought to be advised to move on.PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEES.Orrawa, March 22.Immigration and Colonization, The immigration and colonization committee met this morning and examined Mr.Wm.R.White, of Pembroke, in regard to the resources of the free grant district in the northern part of Ontario.Mr.White stated that there is a tolerably large area of goodland in the county of Renfrew available for homestead purposes under the free grant laws of the Province.Tue district is supplied with railway facilities by the CoH, which runs through it, and in another year the Kingston & Pembroke Railway will also run through it.About 50 per cent.of the district is available for settlement.Seeding operations begin in the early part of May, and spring wheat, oats, rye, pease and beans can be grown successfully.A ready market is found at home ix the lumber camps for all the produce the fariners can supply, and good prices are realized, He believed that stock raising could be very successfully carried on, because the grass in that region was found to be exceedingly nutritious, and there were large pasture runs on land too stony for cultivation where cattle could be grazed without cost to the farmer.Hardy varicties of apples can be grown, and small fruits in abundance.He spoke very highly of the value of this district as a field for settlement, and believed it was capable of supporting a large population.Geological Survey.The geological committee met again this forenoon.Dr.T.Sterry Hunt was recalled and said that, having reflected over the matter, he had come to the conclusion that analyses of soils should be uuder the supervision of the Survey, while the question as to analyses of fertilizers would properly come under the consideration of an agricultural bureau.As to the suppression of Sir William Logan\u2019s last geological map, he thought Dr.Selwyn was justified in his own mind and could not be blamed ; but for publishing as his own a topographical map in which only a few unimportant changes had been made by him, no satisfactory or sufficient excuse could be offered.One of the maps now being prepared by the Survey indicates the limits of the Indian hunting grounds, and will not add much to the geological knowledge of the country.r.L.R.Ord, formerly connected with the Survey, and Mr.Hugh Fletcher, who is at present a member of the staff, were also examined, the latter giving some interesting information respecting the mineral resources of Cape Breton.ew Adueriisements, WANTED, Young Men, to go to Texas to learn and engage in stock raising;

remarkable natural aptitude of the French people for all that concerns both art in general, and the application of art to industry in particular, is abundantly sustained and stimulated, by not only the view of the multitude of artistically elaborated objects of ail kinds of which the streets of this capital offer a permanent and con- staûtly renewed exhibition, and by the i lections of works of art so : .Quebec Waggons, Dog-Carts Double and splendid col lo f the bodices of the ladies\u2019 dresses, o.Bggons, Tis, freely thrown open to all on the only day and the absence.of jewellery, which, Single Buggies, Top Buggies, &c., some of the week when the handicraftsmen of from some new caprice of fashion, | 8s new.the capital have a possibility of frequent- [is now rarely seen Jo the rare Sale at TWO o'clock.: ; spi, entertainments given y the very W.E.SHAW ing them, but also by the special exhib economical head of the French Re-| I Auctioneer.tions of painting, statuary, artistic pottery, glass, furniture, tapestry, &c., &ec., which are so numerous here that very few people would have the necessary time for studying all the admirable models so laviebly offered to their contemplation, and all of which, as o matter of course, open their doors gratis on Sundays, expressly to enable the working classes to frequent thew, It people, here and now, fail to obtain an art education; it is certainly not for lack of the necessary opportunities for acquiring it.Among the bewildering variety of such schools of taste which are now disputing {he notice of the public of Paris, is the admirable Museum of Decorative Art, which has just re-opened its doors, affording to all who care to visit it a view of the most splendid and beautiful specimens of every class of ornamental product.Another exhibition which has just opened, and which is well worthy of attention, is that of the Association of Lady- artists, now attracting much attention.The « Union des Femmes Peintres et Seulp- teurs\u201d has collected, at tbe Industrial Palace of the Champs Elysees, a really notewarthy display of pictures and of statuary.Hardly an inferior work is to be found in the display, while many of the works exhibited might rank with the most successful efforts of the inferior sex.In fact, the surpassing excellence of many of the works here brought together has taken the critical and artistic authorities of this region by surprise, and THE SUCCESSES NOW BEING ACHIEVED BY WOMEN in s0 many of the walks in which the men have hitherto had no lady rivals is beginning to excite a good deal of uneasiness among them, especially as ladies have recently secured appointments to which, only a\u2019year ago, uo women would have dreamed of aspiring.An exhibition of hair-dressing is also attracting crowds of visitors, of whom, as will be readily believed, a majority are ladies.The most curious of the headdresses are of the last century, the Alsatian specimens being especially numerous and well preserved.From the quantity of gold braid and fringes adorning these adorments of heads long since laid tow, the majority of these curious evidences of the follies of Fashion would seem to be charge able on ladies of a certain social rank.An exhibition of another character, and that will draw \u201c all Paris,\u201d is that of the French crown jewels, which is announced for an early date, preparatory to their sale at public auction.Among them will be the famous *¢ Regent,\u201d which was valued, at the beginning of this century, at twelve millions of francs.According to the method of valuation which appears to rule in the diamoud market, this famous diamond will now be valued at a figure swelled by the amount of the interest of this sum during the course of the present century.he \u201cRegent,\u201d on account of its exceptional character, will be disposed of privately ; the other stones will be put up at auction in one of the rooms of the Ministry of Finance, under the eyes of a government delegate, a cordon separating the public from the table on which the jewels will be deposited.They are at present in an iron safe, from which they have been removed only three times during the past six years, viz., in 1878, when they were on view at the Exhibition in the Champ de Mare, and twice since, when submitted to the inspection of the two Chambers.CORPORATIVE FESTIVALS are still rivalizing with private entertainments in the splendor and completenees of their appointments.A grand fete is to take place in a few days in the splendid saloons of the Agricultural Club, familarly knowu as ** Pommes de Terre\u201d [Potatoes]; the affair is to be exceptionally brilliant, and theatrical performances by some of the favorite actors and actresses of the Theatre Francais are among the \u201c\u201c features\u201d of the affair.The round of gaieties is considerably relaxed in the aristocratic and clerical circles of the ¢ grande monde,\u201d doing fashionable penance by wearing black materials of exquisite fineness and made up in \u2018 severe \u201d styles with all the vate and without ceremony ; she has dined at M.Jules Ferry\u2019s ; she goes every even- \u201cmentary attention, all of which he took THE MONTREAL HERALD, AND DAILY COMMERCIAL ing to une or other of the theatres.Her Tahitian Majesty is an inveteraie smoker of cigarettes, her usual consumption being 50 a day.She is proficient on the clarionet, and the hotel where she is lodging often resounde with the Royal performance on an instrument not usuallyon intimate terms with the lips of Royal ladies.THE STATE BALL.The President of the Republic has given à State Ball,at which the most striking geag ture ofthe evening after the splendid display of lights and flowers, was the remarkable public.The oldest aud most distinguished ruest af the evening was the Nestor of rench scientists, M.Chevreil, now within four years of \u2018a century.He was constantly surrounded, and the object of compli- with a simple bon homme pleasant to behold.\u2018The magnificent display of tapestries from the Garde Meuble was also reatly admired.The present passion for rich, and especially for ancient, tissues, which are sought for both for curtains and chair covers, and also for dresses,has brought out many curious historic scraps.Costly chasubles from the monastries of Spain and Italy are being brought here,and fetch enormous prices; a few days ago, the linings stripped from Charles Albers state carriage were dis: posed of at the sale rooms of the Hotel des Ventes.They are of rich red Genoa velvet, of graduated shades, and will dcubtless contribute a leading feature to some splendid makeup; but who could have supposed that the lining of the chariot of the Sardinian sovereign would ever figure on the back of a French elegante ?The actresses go beyond the most extravagant non-professionals in the extravagance of their toilets and in the use of costly fabrics; and people now go to the theatre as much to see and study the wonderful dresses worn on the stage as for the scenery, the acting, and the play.OPERA.The success of the revived Italian opera has suggested the building of a new theatre in a more central situation, for the giving of Italian and German opera exclusively.The site proposed is the gardeu in the rear of the Danks and dwellinghouse of the Rothschilds, in the rue Lafuvette, The owners of the ground have consented to gell it for this purpose, on condition of reserving for themselves the stage boxes oh one side of the house, with direct coum- munication into their residence.The \u2018 oldest inhabitant\u201d of Paris fails to remember any period when its main thoroughfares were cut up and blocked to the extent they now are.The works being carried on are three foid, and, iu the central part alone, are giving employment to about eight thousand men.The macaiam and granite pavements in the Avenue del Opera are being taken up and are being replaced by the new system of creosoted bricks.New watermains are being laid down, and hydrants es 1ablished in the same thoroughfares, 2and, finally, where the roadway is cut upon both sides, a thick foundation, bed of mortar and cement is being substituted for the old mixture of lime.The latter work alone will cost over a million of fraucs.The Champs Elysees arejalso, in one part, the prey of the pickaxe and shovel; Count Henckel du Dounersmarek, third and last husband of Mme.du Paiva, (whose career, equally immoral and successful, was noticed in a recent letter) is pulling down the mansion in that beautiful thoroughfare so long inhabited by ber and sending the materials to Berlin, where it will be re- erected exactly as it was in .this city, by way of commemorating the chequered ex- isténce which offered so striking a contrast to all the received dicta as to the intimate connexion between moral merit and social success.A strange © living phenomenon \u201d has been brought to this city for exhibition this lusus mature Leing a young man named Emile Bourdon, aged 24, whose head, in form aud color, resembles that of a calf.His mother, wife of a butcher, is said to have been terribly frightened by a calf, some time before bis birth, and the unnatural form of his head is supposed to be due to this circumstance.BIRTHS.KavaNaga\u2014On tne 21st

«lelicious dinners that make up, abundantly, in wonderful cooking, for the absence of the prohibited viands, and suppiying the absence of dancing by a profusion of music, by theatres and private theatricals.The Lenten Lectures at Notre Dame are being preached, for the eleventh time, by the renowned Father Moursabre, the favorite preacher filling the vast and svlendid fane to overflowing, as usual, THE MARRIAGE of Garibaldi\u2019s daughter, which took place recently in Turin, excited great interest and enthusiasm among the people who owe 80 vast a debt of gratitnde to tiie heroic soldier of Italian unity.Various delegations from patriotic societies followed the bride and bridegroom to the Town Hall, where a bouquet of extraordinary beauty Was presented to the former, the latter presenting her with another, extremely splendid, on behalf of the Town Council.Che present sent by King Umberto consisted of a maguificent gold bracelet, set with diamonds and other precious stones.The wealthy amateurs of works of art and lovers of the beautiful are looking forward with keen interest to the Castel lani sale that is to take place at Rome on the 17th instant.The collection of the first of modern goldsmiths comprises gems that are voted priceless\u201d by connoisseurs, aud that will necessarily fetch a very high sum.among them are many busts of the Middle Ages and of the Renaissance, all of famous artists ; Palestina\u2019 treasures, made up, among other objects, of fabulze, cups aud a pair of ear-rings for which Baron de Rothschild once offered à thousand pounds, without avail.THE ANGRY QUARREL between Meissonnier and Mrs.Mackay is still raging between their respective friends ; but as the risk of a duel has been eliminated, the general public is rapidly forgetting the affair.The Queen of Tahiti is the main object of curiosity with the Republicans of Paris at this present writing.She is a good- looking woman, and seems to be enjoying her stay here, especially of dresses aud jewels.Sue has been received by M.and Mme.Grevy, the visit being at her request altogether pri- going out every day, making many purchases, years.Notice of funeral
