The address ran as follows : 7 : My Lorp,\u2014 \u2018 Wherever a Bishop of the Catholic Church may go, or whatever land he may travel, there will always be found loving hands outstretched and willing vojces raiged to bid him welcome.\u2018His character, as one of those who are called \u201cto rule the Church, of God,\u201d would be at once his claim to the respect and his passport to the hearts of all who pride themselves in being children of the One, Universal Church.His nage might be unknown, his race and tongue widely dffferént from theif, but he is bound to them by closer ties then kinship or country knows; and he is made welcome because Le rules, and they serve, in the Church of God.If, then, my Lord, under any circumstances your coming amongst us would be a matter of rejoicing, our gladness is increased almost-keyoud \u2018œuy power.of expression when we remember the special character, the singular dignity, which ycur Lordship bears ; and that you stand amongst us today as the ambassador of our beloved sovereign Pontiff, Pius IX.Like his Divine Master, Pius IX.has beon forced to walk the path of suffering, but his enemies must remember that no chain has ever yet heen welded which | could bind the heart or soul, and they stand amazed to see that the Prisoner cf the Vatican, who now, for nearly seven years, has not crossed the threshold of his own home, yet receives from men of every nation, tribe and race, the deepest loyalty, the most faithful love.His ambassadors are not sent forth with all the pride and pomp which belong to this world ; but they go forth bearing the peaceful olive branch, their only aim to unite, if need be, in closer bonds of union and love those who -are already one in the unity of Christian Faith.To them may be applied the words of Holy Writ: \u2018How beautiful upon the hills are the feet of those who bring tidings of good things, of those who bring tidings of peace\u201d \u2014for they are the messengers of Him who is the Prince of Peace.And it is an additional joy to us, my Lord, an added motive to make our welcome the best we can give, that the first official action of your Lordship\u2019s mission should take place in our City of Halifax, on sb auspicious an occasion.There are other Sees in the Dominion older than ours, some even over which is shed the glory of centuries; but, while to them Pius IX, has been guide, counsellor and friend, to us he has also been the tender Father, who has given to us, by the establishment of our hierarchy, the fullness of spiritual life.It seems, then, most fitting that he who called into existence the Metropolitan See of Halifax should, in the person of his ambassador, renew into spiritual life by the consecration of our beloved Archbishop.And it will be remembered through long years, with pride and joy by us all, that the first Delegate.from the Apostolic Throne to these lan across the seas has, with grace shd kind\u201c ness, done us so great an honor.We, therefore, my Lord, the clergy and laity of the city of Halifax, umite with one voice to thank you for your graceful kindness in acceding to the request of our Archbishop, and, for your own sake, for the sake of your office, most of all for the sake of him, our Holy Father, whose ambassador you are, and whose person you represent, we beg, with the most earnest and deepest feelings of our hearts, to bid you a thousand welcomes to our shore.We trust, nay, we confidently hope, that our greeting of to-day is but the first among many ; that your progress threugh tbe Dordxion will be marked by every manifestation of loyalty and affection, and that the beauties of our Indian summer may be but the type of that glad- mess which your presence will infuse inte every heart.And when, my Lord, the days of your.Staÿ amongst us draw to a\u2019 close and other \u2018duties call you hence, when you kneel once again at the feet of the Holy Father to render the account of your mission, may we beg that you will carry to him the assurance of our deepæst love, out anfaltesing\u2019 fidelity in all things to the See of Peter, and our heartfelt sympathy with him in his suffer.| Ings and his sorrows, We could have wished in these glorious days of his Episcopal Jubilee that it had been given to us to join those faithful ones whose love and \u2018devotionsare carrying them fram; awery kat to pay their homage in person to Pius IX.; \u201cbut, though such a happiness has hot been.-ours, yet our hearts go out with them across the ses, and\u2019 our tHoughts go up with theirs to the Throne of God in earnest prayer that, if it be His Holy Will, the: Sovereign Pontiff may yet live to see the stormclouds g Paes away and peace once more be:given the, Church., CL i _ _ And w@ywould ask too, my Lord, a bless- Ing for ourselves.Our people have kep: the Faith through many days-of loneliness and trial ; in the solitude of the, forest, by the ope sea, or inland lake, they hive been true and steadfast, nourishing with jealous care these seeds of truth which they had brought with them from cldey dinds._ An now that the winter seems past and gone and-Vrighter days, like the first dawn of spring, are coming upon us, we would ask that a father\u2019«blessing may destend upon ns that we hand \u2018down, stainless amd pure, that faith, that love of Holy Church, that loyalty tô PetersSee; which wé ourselves have received and whith.we desire to guard as our dearest treasure.Again thanking you, my Lerd, for your kindness, and bidding you with all our hearts welcome to the land of your mission, We have the honor to be, my Lord, Your obedient servants, {8igned in behalf of the Clergy and Laity).Cuba\u2014More Slaughter than in the Eastern War, me m New\u2019 York, Mey 21.A letter\u201d f mana dated the 16th Tastant, sais #\u2014 p \u201cGeneral Armaran\u2019s defeat near Villa Clara is Ful or py! intelligence, and his loss ir Was:4@0 left on the field of battle.One of Martinez Campos\u2019 division commanders has met with a terrible disaster near Guasimas, close to Puerto Principe, at the hands of an overwhélming force of Cu- bang, who made a dash upon his column ;

and if any improvement is worth encouragement, certainly this is ome.And does it appear really necessary to attempt an improvement upon a really good and practical system of weights.\" No person, however desirous of defrauding, can afford it, for there is nothing the people are so rigidly exacting in as weight and memsure, and the most suicidal act: a dealer could do (in these times of sharp competition) would be an attempt at fraud.We have too much \u2018¢ theoretical legislation,\u201d which in practice works poorly.All sumptuary laws are looked upon by the\u2019 people with a certain degree of suspicion, and especially such as seem superfluous, like the ome whose emissaries are now itinerating over the country ¢ adjusting and perfecting\u2019 the system of weights, that leave the manufactory as perfect as the b mechanical skill can make them, and & standard for nearly the whole civilized world, without being adjusted by ¢ pros fessional amateurs,\u201d and the fees charged seem out of all proportion with other Government taxes, inciting complaint \u201cloud and deep\u201d against the infliction.Two dollars and forty-five cents for a small set of counter scales of thirty-six pounds capacity, and proportionately higher for larger ones, seems like wrong and burdensome taxa- tion\u2014and the STAR, being the people\u2019s ¢hampion, to it we look to attack the wrong, [ whether found in high places or lotr.of : Rock Island, May 16,1877, [We regret that we cannot endorse our\" correspondent\u2019s views with respect te the: éuperfluousness of a Government system for tugulating weights and measures.Lxpe- rience teachdd thit strech legishtlon is exceedy\u2019] ingly necessary.Of course, it is also desir- ble that the regulations should cause the comamercial community as litte expense and annayanes sa ppwible\u2014Ed Brana .» : ;

From this it will | be seen that there is à never-failing market for all the flax we can ever produce right on pur border ; or, if we wish to manufac.more \u201cthan bis pay and gave the dollar té { fer and recommended Mr.Stewart to take \u201cexistence at all.oi Fo bly disputed by the Rev.Professor Duff and e also, that flax, when estimated as a cloth and thread-producing plant only, is greatly undervalued.We must consider the seed, which is valuable as seed, and also for manufactur-.| ing Mnto oil.° -AN OLD FARMER.| \u2018The M.G.and W.H.Edson Estate.To the Editor of -the STAR : , DEAR S1R,\u2014In your issue of yesterday you have an article referring to our estate under the heading ¢ How Creditors are \" Plundered,\u201d which reflects very severely on us.WePperthivelyou have simply copied e eomi@tation fyled by Mr.Wotherspoon behalf of the Merchants\u2019 Bauk, without, Es any Way, atating our side ef the case.We o not fear to have our estate thoropghly je- jestigated, and we defy anyone to sa 3 have been Tn any vaydgaatÿ of fraud.\u2018As fgards the first charge.contained in your article, that of baving bought goods to large amount knowing ourselves to be insolvent ; this was disposed of in the case of - Henry J.Shaw vs.Edson & al., instituted liy Mr, Kerr, Q,C., and which was defended Vy our counsel, Mr.Keller, who succeeded obtaining the divmissal of the action on the 12th of May instant, (Dorion, J.) who lield that the charge was wholly unfounded.It is true'that \u2018Allan Hay & Co, of New York, held our paper to the amount of one hundred and fourteen thousand dollars, but we have in our possession a corresponding amount of theirs.This paper was se exchanged on account of a joint railroad speculation between Allan Hay & Co.and ourselves.Messrs.A.©.& Co.having got into difficulties, we, as a company, were obliged to suspend.Mr.Stewart, the official assignee, in the case of Shaw vs.ourselves, testified that our estate was perfectly solvent outside of thisraccommodation paper, and, as a fact, our estate has never been troubled by the holder of this paper.; With respect to our father repurchasing the estate, it was done upon the advice of the inspectors, and on no false representations made by us.Our father never absconded from the country, but was obliged to leave for Colorado on account of his health, and has since returned, and is at present living in the city.Our futher being unable to pay the purchase notes, handed back the whole estate as obtained by him, with the exception of afew hundred dollars, back the estate.: The statement regarding pledging of goods in bond to the amount of 338,000, and that we realized: the spmsceeds and did not account for the same, is absolutely false, This is the first time we ever heard of such a thing.\u2018Why our estate has never paid anything ig a matter, therefore, we are at a loss to understand.Your obedient servants, M.G.& W.H.Epson, The Roy Case.To the Editor of the STAR : SIr, \u2014Herëy trials Rave ceased to be a novelty in our day, The agitatiens of modern thought bring diversities into view.Theology is no longer a sacred enclosure where the priest only can peep in, and then tarn round to tell the people how far they are at liberty to use their own eyes and their own judgment.\u2018Whatever may be the defects of Protes- täntism, it bas still some respect for its fandamental principle of that right of private jydgment, without which it could nbt justify 1ts own existence or maintain an : Mr.Roy took the liberty of thinking for himself in the interpretation of the standards of the Methodist Church.He is admitted ey all hands to be = sincere, conscientious, \u2018thoughtful and able man.He believed he could giveghe Methedist stgndardg a broader and more generous interpretation than that which generally prevailed\u2014similar attempts have been made by superior minds in other \u2018e¢clesiastical bodies\u2014all with the praiseworthy view of aiding the common cause of j Qhristianity.- * But the axe of the Investigating Com- ntittee made ¢ short work\u201d of Mr.Roy.Condemnation and suspension were instant.!

(nothing extra), but no purchaser could be found at that rice.The holder, however, remained stiff n his views in consequence of the limited offerings of that class of beasts.Calves were very plentiful and sold at from $1.09 to 15 and $6 eaci.Sheep were scarcer and brought little better figures, selling at #7 an £8 each, Lambs sold well at $3 and $1 cach, A better show of pigs was observed on the market to-day, but prices were weak, nothing bringing over 64 cents, live weight.Complaint is made that slink calves are being bought up by butchers, and, although they are considered good only for their skins St.and rennets, yet their carcasses are said to ve sold for the best of veal.The following are the sales reported to us: 2 cows with calves, $65; 1 milch cow, $32; 1 do, $23; 1 do, $433 1
