but, with that scrupulous regard for duty and indomitable energy for which he is noted, he at once set at work ; and, among other vital subjects likely to seriously aflect the immense undertaking, which he administers so ably and satisfactorily, this new impost on one of its leading articles of consumption, especially in the West, was the first to citeim his attention.Hence the letter in question 1 Happily, it was attended with the best results, and so hurttul a proposition to this country and its industries met with the fate it deserved.It did not commend itself to the practical common sense of the Government and a majority of the people's representatives.They failed to see the public advantage or utility to be derived trom creating a monopoly for the benefit of a ^few Nova Scotian pit-owners at tbe expense of the great body of the consumers in the rest of the Dominion, and, more particularly, of such prominent factors in Canadian progress and prosperity as our large rail way enterprises.The proposition was consequently defeated to the intense dis gust of the ring of would-be monopoliste, who thought to steal a march upon the remainder of the Dominion and to pro.fitably trade upon the division of public opinion in regard to protection or free trade, under cover of tbe excitement which then prevailed.However Canadians may differ with Mr.Mackenxie and bis supporters on that question, it cannot be denied that, the latter have done the country a real service, m using their power to defeat this coal tax, as well as.in breaking up the coal oil monopoly of Western Canada, which bad so long fat.tened on the protection they enjoyed at the expense of a patient and ill-used public.The adoption of jthis coal tax would, certainly, have been protection with a vengeance : but in one sense, perhaps, it would have benefitted the free traders, if only as a handy illustration, like that of the temperance lecturer, in respect of the evils of strong drink, of the evils of at least one feature of the theory of protection.It may, doubtless, be considered superfluous at this late hour to revive a question, which is, at least, definitely settled for this session ; but the fact that we have already suffer-«d from a similar tax on this prime necessary of our social and economic life and that it haa been again, though vainly, attempted to re-establish it, is a powerful argument why the logical, practical and statesman like reasons advanced against it by Mr.Hickson should not be allowed to sink into oblivion, in view of jts possibly and very probably future re-TivaJ, under altered circumstances, such as those created by necessities of State in regard to revenue.The doctrine of political economists that the luxuries of,life should btar the greatest burthen of taxation is, undoubtedly, a sound one ; but, as there is a limit to all things, so is there one to the burthen in question, and when that limit is attained, recourse must be had to some other source of income, which per force includes the neces-aanes.That time has, however, not yet come ; nor ia it desirable that it should, so long as luxuries of questionable utility afford an available escape from the injurious and disagreeable alternative of casting obstacles in tbe way of the natural wants and really beneficial undertakings of the country.First, among these enterprises, we must place our railway system, including such public benefactors as the Grand Trunk and Great Western lines, with their extensive ramifications.Under any circumstances to detract from the power for good of such huge undertakings to tbe Dominion, by imposing ad sLtional and unnecessary burthens upon them, and thereby detracting from their ability to compete with the American lines, as ao lucidly pourtrayed by Mr.Hickson, would not only be the basest ingratitude, but the most short sighted policy that any people, with open eyes, could perpetrate.The r prosperity is identical with our own ;

be has never been opposed to t hem, but he has not that faith in the locality of the St.Charles which others possess c be fiplds the opinion that equal aocommodatirn could be obtained on tbe Fly Bank for half tbe money, and that the scheme was too costly and ambitious, and that it was not wise to enter into any tender ior the works until arrangements had been arrivai with the North Shore Railway.It is only just to the representative of tbe Shipping Interest that these facts »holu4 be stated.Notwithstanding this opinion we are quite satisfied that these works have not been called for too soon, and they will prove of vast advantage po tRe city and the shipping interest generally.We have gathered from BOPJ® °f tlie members of the Commission that Mr.Fry has never offered a factious opposition ;.on the contrary has assisted most materially in all the operations requiring his attention.\t________ L^TJbiST _ w ^\t_ w\tW-W w-v I DO BUUlUIbkCU W A wsasseaaswasa.av*a FROM iiURO I Fl.approval ;, that by section twelve it w\tj enacted that sucb portions of the 1HE WAR In THE EAST.TCKH-EY KfcJRCTN MONXE- RUSSIAN WAR MANIFESTO PECTED ON FRIDAY.EX- A CIRCULAR FROM THE PORTE.Coistamtjxopls, April 10\u2014»The Chamber of Deputies has finally nj-cted the demands of Mootensgro by a vote of 66 to 18.Lcsaox, April 10.\u2014A Berlin despatch says : \u2014Accoiding to private Intelligence from Constantinople a change in the Vialerate is expected.Achrued Vtflx Eflendi is to suc» ceed Edhem Pasha;

tbat ^ibe Fort St.Francis lock b*d been car-tied on as a Dominion work, by time woik, and Lot let out by contract by public competition ; that it does not appear from tbe papers laid before tbe House tbat the chief or any engineer had ever recommended tbe construction of the said lock, nor did it appear that there was any estimate of the cost of improvements of tbe Rainy Lake and Rainy River, and the other water-stretches ; that in the opinion of the \u2018House the manner of constructing this work'without any order in Council authorising the construction of the work, and otherwise than by contract of-lered to public competition, is unconstitu-tlonal and a violation of tbe Canadian Pacific Railway Act of 1874.Mr.MACKENZIE said tbe work was one which bad been contemplated long enough before tbe pacific Railway was projected, and in bis opinion jtwas a work which was essentially necessary ior the Settlement of the North Werf, «ol*** the Pacific Road was built with unexampled rapidity.The mover had stated with tolerable correctness the distances.He (the mover) assumed that this canal scheme was an essential part of the Pacific Railway, but that was not the case.As he had explained many times when the Government came into power they faunii the epuntry committed to the great burthen of coustrucrintt the Pacific Railway, and they bad to consider bow to facilitate access to tbe country by the scheme ol utilising the magnificent water stretches of the country, which this equal would do.He maintained that it was not necesgary, as a matter of policy, to have the report of any engineer in relation to a public work.Mr.MAsSON\u2014Under what authority is the work being done ?Mr.MACKENZIE\u2014Under anthority of Parliament, which last year voted *150,000 for the purpote.He maintained that the money had been properly and economically appropriated and that the work was a sucoess.Mr.LANGEVIN said tho Premier had complained about tbe way in which the motion had been brought forward, but it was difficult to understand how it could have been brpugbt op in a more appropriate way Tbe object was tp enquire into the natnre of tbe work and its cost.The Premjer had endeavored to justify this prosecution of the work by day labor on the ground that the late administration had carried on work in that way.He (Langevin) admitted that the Minister of Public Works should be allowed a certain latitude.It was necessary that he should have it, but it was not proper that works of great importance or magnitude should be done by day labor.(Hear, hear.) But the Premier had not explained bow it was tbat this work, a part of tbe Pacific Railway, was being done without an Order la Council.Then it appeared from the papers brought down that the work was begun without any en gineer's plan, without a report of an engiuetf, and without any estimates b.-iog before tbe Government, and an ordinary foreman was sent there to begin the work and did so in the absence of plans.(Hear, bear.) He maintained that the money was being expend ed in violation of the Act of Parliament.Mr.JONES (Leeds) bad no personal knowledge of the North-west country, but from all tbat he had heaid trom others be did not think the proposed canal would be of the least utility, at least for the next fifty or hundred years, and it was certain that it coaid not be of aoy use as an auxiliary of the Pacific Railway.The Premier had given the impression tbat by the building of this lock it would give uninterrupted navigation for 160 miles, but from a letter he had received from a gentleman who had been oil through that country it seemed tbat there were no less than eigbt postages, some of considerable length, which prequntefi great difficulties to navigation.Mr.TROW approved of tbe expenditure on the lock.He thought tbe canal might be of great use if the channel of tbe river was improved.It be!oft fix o\u2019clock, tbe Speaker left the cfiqir.arrested In New York for revolting assaults ou young girls whom he invited to bis apart?merits to receive musical instructions.A letter from the Delaware qnd Maryland peach regions report tbe crop serioosly injured by trost, but will be larger than last year's.The New York physicians declare that Samuel Richardson, who was bitten by a cat, died trom fright and not from hydrophobia.Joseph Rosfetto, an Italian, convicted on Tuesday of ao indecent assault on Mary E.Wilson, a destitute servant girl, whom the prisoner enticed to his lodgings under the pretence of charity, was sentenced to fifteen years\u2019 State prisoo.Daniel H.Burns, alias \u201cDan the Blacksmith,\u201d was arrested in New York yesterday, qn suspicion of being concerned in the robbery of tbe Sixth National Bank.The police state that the prisoner belongs to the most daring gang of bank burglars and bond robbers, and is the \u201cpal'\u2019 of the notorious Dan Noble.The prisoner was seen leaving the bank premises about the hour the buiglary was conunilttd.Ao accident occurred on Mouday, on the Tuscarawas branch of the Cleveland and Pittsburg railroad.As a train was crossing the bridge near Malvern, tbe bridge gave way, precipitating the engine into the creek, killing the fireman and seriously injuring the engineer.J«*rw«\\y Harbour H'orkw.(From the Jersey Observer, March 20 ) The following is an extract ot report, dated March, 1877, ot tho Jersey Gbumbor of Commerce :\u2014\u201cTho harbour works are occupying so much public atte ntion that at a recent sitting of yom committeo It was decided to visit them.This was accomplished on Thursday, tho 1st iust., tbe high spring tide making the day most opportune.In the absence of Mr.Bull your committee was courteously received by Mr.Coode, wbo afforded every facility for inspecting the works, and gave all tho information in his power.Amidst tbe conflicting opinions that exist concerning these works, it is clear to your committee that tbotr completion would be attended with an expense out of pioporlion to the resources of a small island like ours, aud which was uot foreseen when tbe works weie ordered.Your committee have no hesitation in saying that it is questionable whether the advantage arising from tho completion of th>se works, according to Sir John Goode\u2019s plan, will be commensurate with the expense to be incurred ; the great difficulty seems to be bow to utiiiso effectually with economy what has already been done towards obtaining alow water lauding stage for passengers ; your committee bave tberetore seen with pleasure tbat the States lately decided to reconsider tbe question of those works.Owing to tho wea* lia r lutte bas been done during tbe winter in extending tbe uealiwatur; thus f*r wbat is completed seems well able to resist tbe action ot the st a, and strength aud solidity Is apparent everywhere.Tbe future ot these undertakings well deeoives, and it is to be hoped will receive, the profound attention of those wbo have to decide thereon.*¦ Besides a landing stage, one of the most useful uddi.ious to cur harbours would be the eoDBlruetiou of a graving dock, or patent slips.This accommodation to the snipping interest would be of great advantage to the island, as it would induce people to send tbeir vessels buro f°r repairs, and thus furnish much desired employment to our shipbuilders.As the cost ol tbis affditl n to cut harbours would be comparatively small, your committee desire to express tbe hope that the States will soon take up tbe matter.\u201cHad Mr.Kinipple's plan been adopted, we would have had a Un ding place ; aviaduct to it; a wet dock and graving docks, Jot less money than we have spent upon the present plan, the works of which are worth nothing We recommend Mr.Ktmpple s plans ; we predicted all that bas happened.Afotens voient \u2018Sir John\u2019s1 was tfio nee plus ultra, accotumg to the committee\u2019s idea ;

hot very soon they declined to go to the country.They were afraid, and naturally af aid, of the perilous journey.It was then that Mrs.Chisholm begaa a series of expeditions which in some respects is without parallel in the history ofanterprise.She went ioto the country herself.She formed bands of young girls, sometimes having In her charge a# many as 80, and carrying them all Into the interior distributed -them in the farm-houses as ^she went along.She ht rself paid the expense, and it is pleasant to be able to add she was Invariably repaid with a thousand blessings beside.As a specimen of the character of the work achieved .by this remark able woman, it may be mentioned that she once received 64 gi-.U en matte from a ship ; they had amongst them 14s l£d ¦ she took them to the country ; in two years most of them were married, and not one had lost her character.When back in Sydney she did not lose sight of the male emigrants.In them she saw future husbands for her girls.And ahe was right She opened a labour market and when a man wanted servants he sent to her and she supplied him.She lent the men , the money to take them to their employ, meats, and although she advanced over £10,.OOO from time to time, she lost but £16 So popular was her name and her purpose, that when she appeared at au inn with her Sirls, ake found shelter for herself and them without charge, and in seven years had to pay for herself the large sum of £1 18s 6d.Mrs.Chisholm \u201csettled\u201d no less than 11,009 wools\u2014¦=tiled them in homes to which they were dear, and in which no barm could come to them.The maj3rity of them were married to men whore means wers far ab^re those which a like class could have possessed in England.In her busy life she found time to write \u201cPictures of Australian Emigrants\u201d\u2014 a little boak which bad an enormous sale In the colony and at home She wrote a letter to Sail Grey, Colonial Secretary, on \u201cEmigration and Transportation Belatively Const, dered and in the end she succeeded in per.goading the Government to send out the wives and families of convicts who w« ra the tickets of-ieave.She even took one shTp-lovl of the children of convicts whom she collected from oearly all the onions it> the Kingdom.This was a coble achievement, not only in the cause of morality and progress, but i« the cause of au uoeulighteued hotnaniiariauUm.At that time the emigrant ships were hulks.The wretched psssengers were heaped together like swine.The sexes were in.discriminatoly regarded, and scenes of vio.laticn and abomination were of daily occurrence.Mrs.Chisholm reformed all that ; she compelled the Government to enforce regulations which seenred to the emigrants ships that could tloat and ride a storm; she insisted upon the family system being recognised rigidly, and the sexes maintained apart ; she succeeded in gaining proper medical attention for them ; and won for them privileges of which they had never dreamed.In this way it may be said that she anticipated Mr Plimsoll and forestalled Miss Bye.In.deed, nothing seems to have escaped ber all-aorbracing goodness of heart.She took 76 unhappy wretches from the paths of sin, and, without adequate means of reformation, she succeeded in reclaiming 60 of th- m.lu if iç the family returned to England, but not be-fore the colonists had presented her with an address\tand\ta purse\tof\tsovereigns.Arrived\tin\tEngland,\tshe\tbegad to assist\tthose\twilling\tto\temigrate.Captain Chisholm joining her in the gooi work.Honored and confided in, ahe at length founded the Family Coloniaatio\u2019n Loan Society, repudiating Government and parochial osai stance.Mr.Robert Lowe declared that ber mission was \u201cone of the most original that was ever devised or undertaken by man or woman, and the object, the labor, and the design were all beyond praUe.\" It U needless to go forth r.Wcrk like hers could not bat bring Us petalty, and for some years Mrs.Chisholm was a confirmed invalid.In all her toil she never lost sight of those duties which are the dearest of all.Her siXjChiidren and h?r husband possessed her affection and her untiring love.Major Chisholm survives ber ; one of her sons has gone tefore ; and ber daughters have keen Deed to lament her irreparable loss.\u2014Fret-«tea\u2019s Journal.jcst zoxsm Em\u2019s Ooooa.\u2014QaaTxrur.ajvd Uomfobt-ino.\u2014\u2022\u2022 By a thorough Knowledge of the natural laws which govern the operations of digestion and uutrUloo, and by a careful appli-catl ,'u of the fine properties of well-selected cocot, Mr.Epps has provided our breakfast tables with a delloatelv flavoured beverage which may save us many heavy doctors' bills.It la by the Judicious use of snob artlolsa of diet that a cousUtatlan ma* be gradually built up until strong enough to reelst every tendency to dlseass.Hundreds c?subtle maladies a'e floating aronnd ns ready to attack wherever there Is a weak point.We mav escape many a fatal shaft by keeping ourselves well fortified with pure blood and a properly nonrished frame.\u201d\u2014Civil Service QatcUe.SaA only in Packets, labelled\u2014 \u2022« Javks Epps A Co., Homceopsthl j Chemists, 41, Tt.readueedle Street, ani 17u, Piccadilly London.\u201d January 10, 1877.\tFm drm, hard money, the sanctity of the National faith, aud equal Justice to all clssses at the Boath, which formed the corner-stone rf Gov.Hayea\u2019s admirable letter of acceptance.IV.\t-Its Moral Tone la Pure and Elevated, Tbe family circle la never p\u2018(.f->ned by anything which appears in the columhs of Tax TkIBUNK.V.\t\u2014Thv Cbclcett Standard and entrent Lll.iatnre of the day 1s presented in its columns, Including Correspocdence, Poems, Stories, and Reviews from tbe most talented and popular writers.VI.\t\u2014It is tne Best and Cheapest Farmer\u2019s Pap»r published.*\u2022 Thi Wskklt Tribonk hss done more to make gooi farmer* than any other lx fluence wblob ever existed.\u201d VII.\t\u2014The Market Reprrta of The Tbibcws are indispensable to every buyer end seller In the oontitry.Quotations are given dally and weekly of almost every arJcle bought and sold la tbe markets of the world, and with nnvarylng and almost It fallible aeon racy.Its Cattle, Butter and Cheese, and other Maikets are the recognlz d atrmlard.VIII.\t\u2014More ooplts of The Tribune ars pild for and read by the American p»ople than of any other newspaoei of « qual price ia the connlir\u2014a fact which la the best demon strati n of tbe value of the paper.IX.\t-The readers of Ta* Tribuns represent largely tha b**t enterprising and progressive minds t>f the country Persons who are in-eresltd In pure politics, tie advance o science, and tte progress of o< Inion, will find their demands met by Tub Tribuns.X.\t-Public ApprovAl and Prosperity have rewarded the ledecendent and se\u2019f-respectfnl course of Tub 7 bibunk.It tas a larger and stronger corps « f earnest workers among Its frloiditban ever before, and constantly receives from o\u2019d and new readers words encouragement.TERMS OF THE TRIBUNE.(POSTAGE FBXB TO THB BUBBCBIBIR ) DAILY\u2014(By ma\u2019l) one year.$10 00 SfMI-WHEKLY\u2014On» year.8 00 Five copies, cne year.if 50 Ten copies (and one extra) one year.25 00 WEEKLY\u2014One year.2 00 Five copies, ons year.^ 50 Ton cop'es, one year.12 51 Twenty cop os, one year.22 CO Thirty cop es, one year.80 00 Each person procuring a club often or more subscribers is entitled to one extra Wkkklt and of fifty or mere to a Hkki-Wkkkly.To Clergymen The Weekly Tribune will be sent one year for $1.60;
