funeral processions, which met at all corners, seven of them joining at one spot on the routs.The scenes in the streets were indescribable.Prayers were uttered as the processions moved, while sobbing and wailing were heard on every side.At the graves the incidents of the agonizing occasion cannot be imparted by means of cold type.The air was full of the most doleful and beart-piercing cries, while women faiuted and the strong men wept.To tell of all the deeds of generceity ; and self-sacrifice would fill a column.Offers of pecuniary assistance have come in very liberally, but so far the city has not felt it necessary to accept the kind offers.The body of Wm.Hey, a school teacher of Wilson Grove, was found this evening.There are four missing.The bell on the City Hall tofled from sunrise to sunset, and the city generally was wrapped in the trappings of woe.Every description of vehicle was pressed into service as a means of conveying the bodies or moving friends to the cenicteries, hackwen, draymen and livery keepers reaping a rich harvest, and the instances of extortion were numerous.RELICS OF THE LOST.The Police Station was visited by large numbers to-day iu the hope of

Victoria,\u201d and did not own a stick of her timber.She was run in connection with their line by arrangement to pool the receipts, but was under a separate management, A high character for ability was given to Capt.Rankin, who left the company's service at the close of last season to join the * Victoria.\u201d Jt was said thet he was a cautious and careful officer, and if his judgment and directions had been followed thers would have been no accident.Thad x THE WORK OF IDENTIFICATION.A complete list of the victims cannot be obtained for the simple reason that so many bodies were snatched away by relatives on the fatal night.Even those within the citv are so scattered that it is with the utmost difficulty they can be traced up by reporters.The list is still undergoing constant correction in the newspaper offices, and an à last resort the rs ave gone to the cemeteries, but as the burials are to go on all night long it will be impossible to get all in to-night.Many bodies have been removed te the country for imtermeat, and it will take some time to get the names of these.A PASENGER'8 STORY.dohn R.Law, a > 2A76:\u2014\u2018\u201c] was one of the upper deck passengurs

with flowers and wreaths, were placed side by side on a fancy truck draped to the ground in biack with white trimmings, and ear.ried to the Cemetery, followed by » large number of friends, noticeabls amongst whom were two large conveyances filled with little children witherape badges who had came from Blyth, 12 miles, to par their last tribute to the teacher they loved in life and mourn in death, Miss Annie being schoc*.teacher at Blyth, and Jennie being teacher at London.While the solemn procession was passing all business places were closed, and flags flying at half-mast.The sad event has

protocol to the treaty of 1846 between Colombia and the United Btates, recently signed by Santo Dowingo Vila and Mr.Kvarts in New York.It is said to cede to the United States privileges which are unacceptable to the Colombian Coagress in the matter of building forts, establis ing naval stations on the Isthmus, passage of American ships of war through the canal, &c.It seems the President is disposed to make many concessions to the United States and to yield influence in the matter of the canal in a way quite exasperating to th: majority in Con.fre who are decided partisans of M, Lesseps.BD canal matters all is quiet.Surveys are advancing slowly, but the absence of M.Blanchet, the moving spirit in the enterprise, has thrown a decided damper on the energy with which operations were formerly pushed.Quantities of material constantiy arrive, as well as laborers, from Carthagena, Port Limon and Jainaica, aud as soon as working plans are ready the men and the tools will be on the ground.There is à lack of enthusiasm concerning the affair, and these people, always quick to take impressions from what they can see on the surface of such enterprises, are much disgust-d with the slow-going, paius-taking, economical Frenchmen.They admit if it were an American company which had undertaken the Job, much more would already have been accomplished.SPORTING.MONTREAL VE.OTTAWA

with the principle that when eur neighbor's house is burned we become mors careful about our own, the great steamboat disaster at Loudon oalls for an exainination into our own stenmnboat service as to whether suicient precautions are taken against a like accident from the same or similar causes.The causes of the London calamity as far as can be gathered from reports up to the present were vver-loading aud unfituess of the boat for the passenger service.The questions then arise, first has the Guvern- went proper regulations on the statute book for the prevention of these causes, and second, if #0, are thoy carried out ?For an answer to the former question our reporter called upou Mr.Burgess, Steamboat Inspec- tur, Harbor Commissioners\u2019 building.\u2018\u201c What is tbe general plan of Government steamboat inspection in this coautry ?\" was asked by the reporter.* Well\u201d was the answer, * the whole Dominion is divided into eight or ton districts, to each of whieh is appointed an inspector.Three of these distriots are in the Province of Quebec.My district stretehing trom the head of navigation on the Ottawa to the lower end of Montreal Island iuciuding the River Ottawa, its tributaries on the north side and ull the waters about Montreal Island.1 have power to inspect al! vewsels pro- pelied by steam in ny district plying between Canadian ports.\u201d ** What ure your duties as Inspector?\u201d \u201cI have Lu luspoct every steamboat from stern to stern, at leit ouge every year, her boilers, machieery, ec.and pronounce as to her suitability for nav.gation, without! hazard of life, ns a passenger, fre-4h\u2026, ferry, or tug bont,as the case may be, and io see that hor cquipment has the regula- tia number of common boais, lite-boats, life- preservers, fira-buckets, axes, lanterns, etc.\u201d * What are the Guverument reguistions as to tue limitation f the number of pussengers to be vonvesed on each boat?© Tuere are nono, at leust that I ever saw or heard ol\" * Then the number of passengers allowed on hoard 1: op'ional with the capiain, is it not ?* \u201c Yes, or rather with the passengers themselves, lor peuple will crowd on a boat until every inch of standing-room is taken up.It is prafiically impossible for the ceprain to keep them off, expostulate as he will.The only way for the captain to do in such a case is to refuse to leave the wharf until some of them get off.\u201d * Should not the number to be carried be limited by Goverument regulation ?* It certainly should, and I think such regulation will rueult from the agitation which wall follow this great Londun accident.\u2018* When you pronounce a boat suitable to carry passengers, what do you mean ?\u201d \u2018I mean à r\u2018asonaôle number of passengers.Boats are not likely to be overcrowded except on special occasions or times of excursions.I ro- member ouly one case here of overcrowdiog which I cousidered really dangerous and that was an excursion steamer to Sorel a year or two ago.In seeing ber list in leaving the wharf I expected her to capsize every moment, but she made the trip safely.\u201d * Do any of the boats here have their boilers on the muin deck instead of below ?* I know ot one such case only which is of a boat with a double hull and cannot possibly capsize from top heaviness.\u201d TEBE * FILGATR.™ Captain Filgate was found at his post on his St.Helen's Island ferry boat, the ** Filgate.\u201d \u201c Are you often troubled with too many pas- songers ?\u2019\u2019 was the first question.© Very rarely,\u201d was answered.* How many persous did you bring over from the Island on the evening of the 24th?\u201d About one thousand.\u201d ** How many will your boat carry?\u201d \u201c Bhe will give standing-room for about two thousand, and will carry that aumber without the slightest danger, as she is built especially for the work in which she is en, \u201d .On invitation the reporter inzpested the boat

Duce 1n office the Collector 1s supposed to hold his tongue, and not to take an active part in politics.If he manipulates any votes, its done in & quiet way.the Collectar of (Customs has absolutely little or no influence in politics.Nor is it uecrssary that he should be of the same party as the one power.He can do his work just as well if he beiongs to the Oppontion.His duties are vot essential to the well-being of any party, and As a Government official, that is another reason why tlie appointment should not be a political one.But the faithful politician must be rewarded.He must get some of the spoil, and as the Collectorship of Customs is one of the best in the country, the Lroken party man looks to it as his own.He may know nothing of the duties of \u2018he office, He nay be profonndly ignorant of anything that appertains to the position.His \u2018\u201c sub\u201d may do all the work, and the posi, tion may be a sinecure.The country might be able to exist without Collectars of Customs at all, but if they are necessary it is not a politician but an experienced member of the Customs staff that should get the place.Ex, perience, competency and worth should be (he standard for all appointments, and not political hap-hazard.Te debar the employes of the Custom House from aspiring to the Callector- ship is to throw the hlanket of discantent over positions down But why! their hopes, and to make politics a trade.It in à crime against faithful service to tell it to stand aside, in order that the successful politician should triumph.And Canada and the United States will rome to that some day, and when they do it will be all the better for the people.NOTE AND COMMENT.Women are not enslaved and they are not be- wicht-d in onr society.They are as well taught, ac well eared for and na well loved as men, nud 1 the agitators would make progress wm their chown work (Woman Suffrage) they sonst eas their senseless exazgeration and deal with facts.Hyperbole may be permissible in a cirrus ymster, but it is not in the formulation of à reform.Wo trust this will not escape the mrmery of our fric nds, the wo.nan saf- ragiste Boston Pos Tha oliject of the ranch and Belgian exhi- sitors in coming here is, undoubtedly, to en- \u201cleavor to open up trade with the Dominion ind secure a market for their ware.To extend \u2018anadien trade and commerce should be the adm of every patrintic citizen, and shonld the voraing Exhibition be the means of enlarging ihe trade between Canada and the continent of Kurope, great benefits to our prople must certainly core therefrom.We believe that the citjgens of Montreal will reapond chemefylly an wideeualy.aysal, 0 the call for ac bacrictions Tous | in aid of this years Exhibition.\u2014Aontreal Herald.If Canada desired independence, there is nothing to prevent us maintaining it.But there has been no demand for it.The rule of the Mother Count à is merely nominal, but the tie is very real, and no vue in Canada wauts to break: it.The strongest sentiment is in favor of British connection.As to annexation les sening the chances of war, that is a question with which we have nothing to do when our destinies are under cousideration.And as to adding to Canada\u2019s dignity, it would merely ut it out of existence.And that can only appen sorely against our will.\u2014 Montreal Gazette.The Montreal Spectator, a Tory journal which affects superlative wisdom in discussing public affairs, speaking of possible changes in the Dominien Cabinet, says: * The appointment of Mr.McDonald, of Prince Edward Island, to a judgeship is probable.\u201d It is too bad to have the brilliant legal abilities of the Minister of Justice credited to P.E.lsland.Does the Spectator not know that the distinguished gentleman made his \u201cfirst deboo™ in Pictou County, Nova Scotia?!
