Treasurer, Hon.Adam Crooks, vice Mackensie, resigned ; Secretary, Hon.T.D.\tHardel, vice Gow.Hon Mr.McKellar and R.W.Scott retain their present offices.-\u2014\u201cMuch surprise is evinced by all parties at E.R.Wood being left out in the wood, bis appointment as Treasurer being considered sore.-Gow was Requested to retain his position as Secretary, but preferred resigning on account of ill-health.-Mr.Torch in- tends, when the House meets, to move for the appointment of a special committee to investigate the so-called Elgin Association frand.-Ward politicians are moving in municipal matters in St.Patrick\u2019s Ward.E.\tKing Dodds will oppose Alderman Kerr In 8t.Andrew\u2019s Ward, City Common Council, will be the candidate for municipal honors.-One of the horses attached to Major Sheard\u2019s carriage dropped dead on Yonge street this afternoon.-The Montreal Telegraph Company are planting telegraph poles thronghout the city, and are placing large ornamental wooden balls on top.-After the ball, at 1 o\u2019clock, His Ex- cellency proceeded to Osgoode Hall, and was entertained at lunch by the Law Society.\u2014 This evening the Viceregal party attended the concert in aid of the Young Men\u2019s Association of Yorkville.Ottawa, October.\u2014Dr.Desaulniers, Inspector of new prisons, of Quebec, arrived here to-night.\u2014\u2014The sea-faring and shipping classefl'Will be glad to learn that the Department of Marine and Fisheries has succeeded in having a powerful steam-tug whistle placed on St.Paul\u2019s Island, the scene of many a fearful wreck at the entrance to the mouth of the Gulf of St.Lawrence.\u2014 Mr.Mitchell has been advised that the whistle is now in working order.\u2014\u2014 Secretary Aiken* has gone West.-The contract for the deep water wharf at Richmond terminus (N.S.) railway has been award.edtoMr.O\u2019Brien, of Halifax.-The Free Preu gives currency to a rumor that Thomas Spence, now clerk of the Legislative Council of Manitoba, will be appointed to the Secretaryship of the Legislative Council for the North West Territory.\u2014Through the agency of the Ottawa Valley Immigration Society, 260 first-class immigrants have been settled in this territory during the present season.The Society is entitled to $16 per head from the Ontario Government for every man introduced by them, which will add the sum of $1500 to their funds.With this assistanc?, and more complete arrangements for conducting their operations, the society will do much during the next year towards the settlement of the Ottawa Valley.\u2014Mr.Walter McOuat, B.A., of Montreal, with two assistants, has returned from making an extended geological survey of the country lying to the north of Lake Temiscaming, through the district around the Lake Abitibec, under the Geological Survey.The party started in May last, and have been engaged in the work for nearly six months.Mr.Mowat stated that he found unmistakeable signs of mineral wealth in the country surveyed, in the shape of copper and iron, and has a favorable imprensioc regarding the soil, which is much better than previously supposed- A change takes place in the geological formation of the country at the head of Lake Temiscaming, it being less rocky and rugged as it proceeds northward.Near Lake Abitibec there is a large area of Arable land, clay soil, which is suitable for agricultural purposes; it is also a fine grazing soil, being neither barren nor rocky.QUEBEC, TUESDAY.OCTOBER 29, 1872.The Horne Diseuse.It is utterly impossible to collect the facts which would enable one to say with certainty whether the disease is becoming more general, is stationary, or has begun to disappear.Every one seems to have his own opinion on the subject, and as these opinions are either based on personal observation or taken up at second-hand, they are, as a rule, worth very little.Even those who profess to know some, thing of the matter professionally are at variance as to the prevalence of the disease, and the degree of alarm which may reasonably be felt.Judging from the proportion of horses which one set\u20188 dragging wearily along the streets, hanging their heads, running at the nose, and blanketed, one might be led to suppose that the disease is becoming more prevalent.In fact there is scarcely a horse about which does not display these outward and visible signs of suffering.As an experiment, we yesterday afternoon took the census of the horses which passed the comer of one of our principal thoroughfares, and out of a hundred,\u2014it was a considerable trial of patience to wait for that number,\u2014there were only seven not blanketed, and some of those looked os if they very much needed such protection.In many cases, perhaps, this care is rather precautionary than remedial, horse owners acting very wisely on the principle that an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure ; but in the majority of in stances the necessity of wrapping up is evi dent enough.It is impossible to state even approximately the number of la the Officia] Clazette.His Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor has been pleased to appoint Mr.Narcisse Avard Municipal Councillor for the parish of Ste.Marie de la Beauce.-His Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor has been pleased to associate the following gentlemen to the Commission of the peace :\u2014For the District of Montreal\u2014William Edward Scott, Esquire, of Montreal.For the District of Quebec\u2014 Bobt.Hamilton, Esquire of Quebec.-His Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor in Council has been pleased to associate the following gentlemen to the Commission of the Peace.For the District of St.Hyacinthe\u2014Isaac Van-dandaigne Gad bois, Evariste Goulet, merchant, and Charles Etienne Letestn, farmer, of St.Hilaire, County of Rouville.For the District of Art ha basks\u2014Antoine Eugene Bnmnelle, merchant, Jules Dutbur, farmer, Pierre Bobitaille, miller, Abraham Alfred Roy, merchant, and Wenceslas Nadeau, merchant, of Plesafovillej County of Megantic.- Tha Lieutenant-Governor has been pleased, by order in council dated the 6th instant, and under and in virtue of the powers conferred upon him by the 45th and 136th clauses of chapter 15 of the consolidated statutes of Lower Canada, to make the followingappoint-ments of school commissioners, to wit :\u2014 County of Arthabaaka, 8t.Christophe\u2014Mr.Habert Poirier, nee Mr.Numidiqae Perrault.County of Lothbiniere, St.Sylvestre South\u2014 Mr James Woodskie, continued in office, and Mr.Louis Delisle, vies William Mitchell, Mr.William Wilson, continued in office, and Mr.Antoine Lemieux, vice Mr.Clement Payer County of Portaebf, Ecureuil*\u2014Mr.F.X.> Papillon, continued in office.County of Saguenay, Tadousac\u2014Mr.Onesime Boulian-ne, continued in office, and Mr.Joseph Ho-evington, tee Mr.Moise Fortin.County of St.Maurice, St.Etienne\u2014Messrs.Augustin Miktte and Charles Loranger, tie» Messrs.Raul Boisvert ami Elie Houde.An Idea.The Pall Mall G&sette makes known to us an admirable plan for facilitating discussion at the meetings of vestrymen, local boards, Ac., which we take leave to commend to the notice of all gentlemen interested in the progress of public business.At a recent meeting of the Wallasey (a small English town) local board, a Mr.Cowan appeared in the board room with a parcel under his arm.This circumstance appears to have caused no apprehension, bat when the minutes of the previous meeting bad been read, to the dismay of all present, Mr Cowan unpacked the parcel and produced a pair of cymbals, on which ho began playing, stating that as he could not have his way with regard to a resolution he had wished to introduce, be would take care that no other member of the board obtained a bearing.He then commenced playing on the instruments, occasionally pausing for a few moments to deliver some forcible remark bearing on the question at issue.The board a last, instead of being moved \u201c by magic numbers and persuasive sound,\u201d called in the police who removed both the cymbals and th6 performer.The treatment of Mr.Cowan was really too bad.How we would welcome a vigorous cymballist now and then in our own City Council, when the floods of eloquence are pouring from the lips of Aldermen and Councillor*, when the wordy tide threatens to overwhelm all, and carry the night info môriffag, and when, in weakness and despair we lay down our pencil, determined to let the main actors have their game ont.We wait for the experiment.\u2022srh* details of the composition of the Freuch fleet have just been published, and Show that it consists of 194 vessels, fully equippeo\u2019, 7 of which sre iron-plated, and 62.ships of the reserve.The marines comprise a force of 28,441 men.The amount allotted for new vessels during the year 1872-73 is 22,000,000 francs.The officers of the fleet comprise 2 Admirals, 12 Vice Admirals, 24 Bear Admirals, 100 Ship Captains, 200 Frigate Captains, 640 Lientenants, half ot the first and half of the second class, and 500 other officer^ of two classes.Thirty-six ves-at-Lare stationed at the Antilles and in the South Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, while 20 are stationed at Algeria, Egypt, Martinique, Guadaloupe, New Caledonia, Reunion, *nri Mayotte.However much France may have suffered in her land forces in the recent war with Germany, her naval resources seem to Leas effective as ever.Dbath of a F&moh Countms.\u2014Mr.Lanham held an inquest at the Westminster Union Workhopse, Poland-street, on the body of the Countess Anna de la Crossiel de Pres, aged whose death took place under the following circumstancca ; Count Ferdinand de Pres said the deceased was his mother, and he had keen residing with her at Green\u2019s Family Hotel, 17, St.J&me\u2019s-place.She was the widow of a distinguished French officer, Count Eugene de Pres.Her health bad lately been indifferent.They were resident in France, during foe late war, and were shut up in Paris the whole time of the siege.The deceased had taken great interest in the sick and wounded during the siege, and had taken charge of one of the ambulances.The excitement and fatigue she had undergone and the horror* *he had witnessed bad affected her health, and she had become very weak and nervom>.He was in the habit of going over to Paria on business, and on his departure the deceased always used to say she should bo dead before he came Hack.He was only absent a few days at a time, but the deceased was always foil of grief while he was away.On Thursday last he left London for Paris.The deceased accompanied him to the tfotion, and on bis leaving said she was certain she should die before he came back.He was pnly to be awiy four days.Antoine Herold said he was manager in the hotel, 17, St.James\u2019»-place.On Friday-evening last, at six o\u2019clock, deceased called him up to her bed-room and gave him a letter to post to Paris.She appeared to be in her usual health.He did not see deceased again that night.On Saturday morning, about three o\u2019clock, while in bed, he heard the bell in the & «eased\u2019* room ring, and heard her calling him.On getting to the room he called to the deceased and asked her what was the mi.tter and what she wanted.Not receiving any reply, and all being quiet, he became alarmed, and called in a police constable, with whom he went up into the room, and they found the deceased lying upon the floor near the bed, partly undressed.On lifting her np she appeared to be dead.According to the medical evidence death wa* caused by apoplexy, and a verdict to that effect was rendered.Avrora, HI., Oct.26.\u2014Yesterday, Mr.B.Mottingly, assistant editor of the Aurora Herald, was seized with m fit of apoplexy while walking along the bsu R of a mill-race, and falling on his face in the water, was drowned, althongh the water was not over a foot deep.OASIS WHICH HAVl MOV*D FATAL, but there can be no doubt that it is considerably larger than is generally supposed.Some stables have lost four or five horses, and others if we are rightly informed, considerably more.There is an unaccountable reluctance on the part of large owners and keepers of livery stables to state precisely the extent of their losses.As might be supposed, the mortality has been greatest among animals which are overworked or diseased, especially those which have been compelled to work while suffering from the complaint.At the same time horses free from any other eom plaint, and well cared for, have not been exempt from the fatality to which the less favoured of their kind have been especially subject.We understand that owing to the unremitting exertions of those in charge of the stables of the OITT PA338X0BR RAILWAT GO., most of the animals are fairly on the road to recovery, and that, considering the number of horses owned by that Corporation, the fatal cases have been very few\u2014only four or five in fact, and the animals lost were not the most most valuable o»\u2019 serviceable.The inconvenience which the public have suffered from the stoppage of the cars will not, it is hoped, last much longer, the reports from the stable* being daily more favourable, and no effort or expense being spared to renew operations with the least possible delay.All the H0RSIS BBLONOIN* TOMB.SHBDDBN, which had been attacked by the complaint, have been \u201cdischarged from Hospital,\u201d and are doing duty to the best of their ability, though a good many of those fine animals have been much reduced, and are very feeble.We learn that Mr.Shedden\u2019s horses have been, like those of the City Passenger Railway Co., inconsiderable.The horses AT TH* FIR! ST AT!003, although most of them have been attacked by the epidemic, are all recovering, and will soon be equal to any work that may unfortunately be required of them.In most of the cases the disease has taken a very mild form, and the infrequency of fires of late has given every chance of their receiving the necessary rest.We have frequently heard people, who have listened to exaggerated reports about the prevalence of the disease among the horses of the Brigade, enquire with evident anxiety what would be done in case of a fire which It would require the whole force of tho Department to subdue.There is not at present, nor has there been at any stage of the epidemic, any occasion for snoh alarm, as tho reels could always have turned out, though it would have taken more time than it ordinarily does for them to reach the scene of conflagration.We have been able to report favourably of the state of things in these instances, in which the number of animals is very large ; but it must not be inferred that a correct report from every individual owner of a horse would give a universally satisfactory exhibit.The horses belonging to the City Passenger Railway Co., Mr Shedden, and tho Fire Brigade, together, are, of course, a very small proportion of the number owned in the city, the greater part belonging, in ones and twos, to parties who can ill afford to give them the rest and professional treatment they require, even to house them properly.We need not enlarge on tho inconvenience which the public has sustained through this wide-spread disorder.Eevery one is sensible enough of that, either personally, or from the complaints of others.To realize in some measure the loss to the public, it is only necessary to step down to the wharves and see the immense quantity of freight lying day after day for want of means to convey it to its destination.It is probable that farmers and others at a distance who usually semi their produce to our markets, will abstain from doing so from the fear of not getting their goods from the wharf or the terminus, and housekeepers may consequently look for enhanced prices on articles of domestic consumption.\u2014 Montreal Herald.FOREIGN GOSSIP.The French Government has got rid of all German subjects in the consular service of Fiance in foreign countries.Field Marshal Sir George Pollock, Constable of the) Tower of London, has been buried in Westminster Abbey.Stanley will deliver a lecture, about the beginning of next month, before the Greenock (Scotland) Philosophical Institute.A monument to Leonardo de Vinci has been inaugurated in the Place de la Scala, Milan, with much ceremony ; it is by Signor Magni.< There is at Paris a manufactory at which damaged china, marked \u201c N,\u201d is made, which is sold as a part of the!

the yield was about 90 to the ton.This gratifying result of their researches abundantly proved that the mines were of incalculable value, and a company was then organized in London by Messrs.Moses Anker and Charles Bissell, which had a modest little working capital in each of $2,500,000.The list of stockholders included the following : Here the reader may supply the names which first occur to him as those of the leading bankers, Ac., of New York and London.An eminent London examiner of mines was deputed to visit the island.In the course of his examinations, Mr.Taylor visited 158 gold mines on the island and took from each of them quantities of ore He found gold everywhere in greatabund-ance, far surpassing anything ever before known, oven with the vast experience.Tho precious metal glistened in the midst of al-most every broken piece of rock and cropped out everywhere.So rich did the yield of ore promise that he scarcely dared to complete the result.He collected 250 tons of Hold bearing quartz, which he had gathered from fifty of these mine*, and shipped tho siuff to England.In order to make tho test satisfactory beyond the poesibility of doubt, the ores were placed in bags which were sdburely and carefully sealed before being shipped.These seals were removed in England by his own hand at such, and such im .\u20183 as the ores wore required for treatment.With this precious cargo ho arrived safely at home, and placed in the hands of competent assayers at Swansea, Wales, to be treated Tho gold thus produced was treated by the Bank of England, and the average value of the Uuneral proved to be upwards of thirty dollars to tho ton: It was also found that the cost of mining and treating would not exceed five dollars to the ton.It was further determined, after careful and accurate computation from the data which Mr.Taylor had gathered, that tho enormous quantity of 300,-000 tous of this ore coold be shipped from these mines and treated annually.From this circumstance some idea may be formed of the wonderful productiveness of these mines, which promise to produce a net yield of $75,-000,000.Mr.Taylor\u2019s report was so satisfactory that the English Company at once closed the purchase, and a stock company was organized under the limited liability laws of England, known as the \u201cAruba Island Gold Mining Company.\u201d The officers of the company are John Stewart, Esq., president ; H.Parkinson Sharp, Moses Anker, General G.B.Sargen, Captain R.J.Forbes, Lord W.M.Hay and J.W.Ronishe, directors.Active operations are conducted on the island under charge of Professor Benjamin Rule, and gold-saving machinery of the most approved patterns is making at the Delamater Iron Workt of New Yurk.Th» first contract awarded to this firm for experimental machinery was $100,000.The company propose to put up 250 stamp milles at once for the quarts mines, and the gulch diggings will be worked on the California system of hydraulic washing.They will employ a greater number ot men than any other company iu the world.Native labour is abundant, and the price is fixed by law at cents a day ;

banking institutions.THE ST.LAWRENCE, NEW YORK AND HAVANA STEAMSHIP COMPANY ' LIMITED.On reference to our Ottawa intelli gen ce, it will be seen that the well-known enterprising firm of Ross A Co., of this city, with other gentlemen, have given notice of an application to Parliament for the incorporation of a new steamship company with the above title.There can be no ^doubt entertained on the minds of the business men of Quebec but that this must eventually prove a magnificent undertaking.The trade between Canada and the West Indies, also with South America is well known to be extending daily.A line of steamers such as required for this business will meet with imme diate public approval and support.EXPORT OF CANADIAN AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS TO NEW SOUTH WALES.Our attention has been called by the Department of Agriculture ot the Dominion Government to the question of the export of agricultural implements and machinery, with the view of bringing it before Canadian merchants and manufacturers.An official letter has been written by Mr.Jules Joubert, Secretary of the Agricultural Society of New South Wales, representing u that in that colony there is aa urgent demand for improved agricultural implements and labour-saving machinery ; but as yet it has neither the facilities nor the requisite skill for manufacturing them.Hitherto imports from this country have been limited to lumber, furniture, and a few other articles ; but he expresses the opinion that a well assorted exhibition of what are known aa American implements, inventions, and labour\u2019s saving machinery, would not only be a great attraction in the colony, but result in opening an extensive and profitable market for most of the articles exhibited.He is instructed by the society to state that, should any responsible individual or company desire to make a trial of the plan suggested as business enterprise, they have a spacious building adapted to the purpose, situated in the Prince Albert Park, Sydney, which would be placed at their disposal, together with every other facility at the command of the society.\u201d To the trade already carried on with the Australian colonies, there should, it would seem, be no difficulty in adding that of the machinery Ac., referred to by Mr.Joubert, and the manufacturers of Canada, were they to act promptly, would secure a new field for their productions, and be enabled to furnish employment to a large number of men, besides increasing their establishments, thereby enabling them to lessen the cost by the greater amount of production.We understand the Department of Agriculture has entered into a correspondence with Mr.Joubert, with a view of obtaining further particulars.THE HORSE DISEASE.The horse epidemic, which first mani fested itself in Toronto, and afterwards spread with alarming rapidity East, West and South, is undoubtedly upon us, and the veterinary surgeons of the city have their hands full of business, in attending to the suffering animals.In Quebec the weather has as'yet prevented the disease from spreading with such disastrous effects as has characterized its progress in other cities, nor have the symptoms so far observed been of the same virulent nature; but with the first damp, raw days we look for the same state of things as has been experienced elsewhere.In Boston, New York, Buffalo, Detroit and Chicago,the epidemic is making fearful havoc among horses, street railway companies have had to stop the running of their ears, and traffic is all but suspended.Our readers have already learned of the ravages of the disease in the Dominion, and now that it has fairly got a foothold in our own city, owners of horses must take every precaution possible to guard against infection.The disease is universally held to be a catarrhal fever of an epizootic nature, and veterinary surgeons term it Epizootic Influenza, while the passion for shortening down names has brought forth the more familiar \u201cepixoot.\u201d or \u201cepizootic.\u2019 The premonitary symptoms are duiness, a staring coat, and a watery discharge from the nose ; followed by a sore throat, slight swelling of the glands, a discharge of brownish yellow matter from the nostrils, quickened pulse and respiration, feebleness, yellowness of the eyes, and an unnatural coldness of the ears and legs.The respiratory organs are the principal parts affected, but the disease being what veterinary surgeons term a blood poison, an animal which has been affected with previous disease in certain organs will be sure to \u2022how a derangement of those organs when attacked by epizootic influenza.Complete prostration and a constant cough follow these symptoms.There have been numberless remedies published, but the most reliable authorities seem to concur in the following advice: So soon as a horse appears unwell take him from work immediately, do not attempt to make him work if a cure is desired ; cover him up warmly m the stable ; having provided a clean, dry bed, sprinkle the stable with carbolic acid, or any preparation containing carbolic acid, or chloride of ilme\u2014disinfecting agents go far towards a cure.Hot, soft food easily digestible, such as linseed tea, oatmeal gruel, boiled oats or barley, any easily digested warm food ; when the appetite fails in the second stage, and high fever sets in, the animal may be tempted with boiled carrots, apples, or other horse dainties.Dr.James D.Hopkins, a leading veterinary surgeon of New York, uses belladonna, stimulants and tonics, avoiding any depressing agents, stimulating frequently and administering an electuary ot belladonna and liquorice root.Then he applies a strong counter irritant to the neck.He finds aramo-liniment the best, though any strong stimulating lotion applied to the neck, in conjunction with the electuary internally, would be probably just as good.The horse must be kept covered with a heavy blanket, and the stable disinfected-There must be the most careful attention, and horses affected with the disease roust not be worked for several weeks after ap parent cure.We again impress upon those who own horses the most rigorous attention to their stock, for the disease is one depending for its progress not altogether so much upon infectious contact, but upon subtle atmospheric influences Forewarned is forearmed, and with careful attention the horses of Quebec may escape the fearful sufferings of their equine brethren in other cities, hut as there is much depending upon the continuance of fine weather, it will not do to be over con fident.An pujxce of prevention is worth a pound of care.inwoil PITCHES.Loudon, Oct.28.\u2014The licensing act requiring the drinking saloons in Liverpool to close at 9 o\u2019clock, on Sunday night, was enforced for the first time yesterday, and gave rise to considerable excitement amongst the frequenters of these places.Crowds collected in various portions of the city, and were addressed by persons, several of whom were under the infiuence of liquor, in opposition to the act.The gathering finally became so noisy in the demonstration that the

present termina tion in St.James street, along the river front, parallel to St.Peter street, to the Napoleon wharf, and thence to the Grand Trunk wharf, through the Champlain Market square.The City Surveyor, Mr Charles Balllarge, was instructed to sur vey the ground, and furnish a plan of the required extension to the Council On the 21st of November last Mr.Bail large concluded bis survey, and made the plan of the work, wbiob now lies in the City Hall.This was the end of the matter, because not a word has ever been spoken in the Council on the Dalhousie street extension since, though the sub ject has occupied the attention of the merchants of the Izawer Town and the general public for years.The plap sub mitted by Mr.Baillargo shews two pro jections of the extension, the one for straight line of street, cutting through Nolan\u2019s store, through the stores of the Messrs.Gibb and the Richelieu Company The second is made with a slight bend so as to avoid cutting through all of these stores, passing oyer three (jocks, which will require to be partially filled in and cribbed, along the front of the Finlay Market Hall, through the buildings separating the Finlay Market from Sous-le-Fort street, across the Napoleon wharf, and so along the front of the Champlain Market to the Grand Trunk wharf.\u2014 Though we have » partiality for straight streets for business thoroughfares, in the present instance we are rather in favor of the second projection, which avoids unnecessarily cutting through much valuable property, saving cost, and affording just as useful a way as the first mentioned one.The Harbor Commissioners offer the portion of their ground required at 50 cents per foot.The length of the extension, from St.James street to the Napoleon wharf, is 800 feet, the width suggested is 40 feet, so that in all 32,000 feet of ground will be required for the present, because it is thought that if the street be carried as fhr *s the îfapoleon wharf, it will be enough.The cost, providing that other proprietors will follow the example of the Harbor Commissioners,'and ask no more than 50 cents per foot for their land, is estimated at $30,-000, a sum which appears at first blush large, but when the great advantages to accrue from the extension are considered, it is very moderate indeed.The fact is plain, that sooner or later a business street must be found in the Lower Tomi which will serve to relieve St.Peter street from the immense pressure of traffic rendering it absolutely unsafe in the busy months of the summer.There is hardly a thoroughfare on the continent more unsuited for the uses to which it is put, or in which 0O much important business is done.The growing commerce of the city demands that new channels of traffic must be provided, and the remedy is only to be found in the extension of Dalhousie street.Again, to make the extension of the utmost practical value, Des Soeurs street must be widened, so that there will be uninterrupted com-muniqation with the Upper Town by way of Mountain street and Hill.The directors of the Union Bank have already made a generous offer to the Corporation.They agree to sell, for the purposes of widening that narrow thoroughfare, property which cost them $4 per foot for $3 ; the whole amount required by the < \u2019or-poration to secure the land will thus be $6,QUO.The property of the Richelieu Company required to complete the widening will also be ceded at terms advantageous to the Corporation.We hope to see these matters taken up again in the City Council, for they are of vital importance to the trade of the city.By the extension of Dalhousie, and the widening of Des Sœurs streets, an increased value will be given to all the property of the neighborhood, and the revenue derivable from property now taxable, and from buildings which must be erected in the new street (for there is great need of increased warehouse accommodation,) will make the investment of the capital required a most profitable one for the city ; in fact it will take but few years to repay the original outlay.We think that ten years is quite long enough time for the consideration of such a question aa the proposed extension;-time in which the value of property has increased fifty per cent.; and the cost of carrying out the work which has become gradually greater, will be still further augmented should another period of years be allowed to elapse before the improvement is seriously commenced.Deidrich Knickerbocker\u2019s grandfather did not spend nearly so much time in smoking over
