So,\u2014Being an old Quebecer, but for the last few years n resident of the United States, and arriving hem on Satazday last, I was gratified to ' bear that the annual regatta would take place that afternoon ; I wended my way with hundreds of others In the direction announced 5as the «starting point, and I must say, I having a slight experience in aquatic matters, that everything came off to my entire satisfaction, with nothing to mar the programme except an occasional slight delay, the only result of which was a little inooo-venience to the spectators from the effects of the hot rue, bat boat races, like true love, has ever had Its hitches.The unanimous declaration of all who witnessed the races waa that they ware the best ooctested that has ever came off in this loos-iity, and too much praise cannot be accorded to those gentlemen who were mainly instrumental In carrying oat the lengthy programme to a satisfactory conclusion.Before closing ibis letter 1 cannot refrain from nquppiag the apathy displayed by our monied men In affairs of this sort, which are so beneAslai to our yOung esatf, morally as well as physically, and do more good in a temperance point ot view than all the oratory of a cold waterlte would effect in a decade of So ail honor to that sterling gentleman T.H.Grant, Esq., for his liberality oa all occasions.No matter what the case Is, charity or «port, he is to the fore, and diserves the gratitude of every workingman, old and young, in the community.The same may be said of the gallant Commodore, Charles Hoiiwell, Ssq^ J.U.Gregory, Esq., and, alas I one or two others, but my contempt for those money grobbecs to whom the chink of a S5 cent piece is mask, and who with that dog-in-the-manger style cannot enjoy themselves, and detast seeing others do so.Hoping that next year's regatta will come off Lb the same style, 1 remain, yours, AqoATto.Quebec, August 20, 1877.Fmlml Tatooln*.A Youm WVuow a» 150 Youso M Vionm?os a Dissasbo Teamp.is no The Attention of Mariners and Others i« hereby drawn to the underoited Provisions of the Law relative to the improper use of Firearms and to offences against the Person.THE ACT 32, 88 VIO.CHAP.20, IN THE two following sections, provides that : \u201c72.Whosoever carries about bis person any \u201cBowie Knife, Dagger or Dirk, or auy weapons '\u2022called or known as Iron Knuckles, Bkull-\u2022 Orackers or Slung-Sbot, or other offensive \u2022 weapons of a like character, or eecreily \u201ccarries about hla person any Instrument «\u2022loaded at the end, or sells or exposes for sale \u2022 publicly or privately, any snob weapon, shall \u201cbe liable, on convlotlon thereof, before any \u2022\u2022Justice of the Peace, to a flue of not lens \u201cthan ten nor more than forty dnllars, and In \u2022 default of payment thereof; to be imprison-\u201ced In any gaol or place of confinement for a \u201cterm not exceeding thirty days.\u201c78.Wnoeoever Is found In any of the Sea-\u2022\u2022port Towns or Cities In Canada, carrying ¦\u201cabout h'a person »ny Sheath Knife, shall be \u2022liable on convlotlon thereof before any (\u2022justice of the Peace,\u2019 to the like pains and \u201cpenalties as In the next preceding section ; \u2022\u2022Provided, however, that nothing herein oon-«talned shall apply to Sramen or Riggers «when occupied or engaged In their lawful \u201ctrade or calling.\u201d The Aet 40, Vie.Chap.80, In the thre î following sections, provides that, Aisi.KY.For Sale by Mi (Mr May 30, 1«77.\tmy21-Fm OXYGEN IS LIFE.$ Return Flue Batters, $0 horse power I Tubular\tdo,\t80\tdo S Do\tdo\t25\t10 Tbe above will be sold cheap for farther Inform at ihn, apply at me offlo.of tbe BL La wren js Kte«m Nevustion Oo .8t< knùrsw\u2019s Whir:.4BOOBY, Secretary Oomplsints.Depression of Spirits, Hypochondria, Timidity.Indigestion, Failure of Hearing, Sight, aik Memory, Lassitude, Want of Power, Ac., wboet eases admit of a permanent cure by the new remedy PB08PH0DYNE (Osonic Oxygen), which at once allays all irritations and excitement, imparts new energy and lift to the enfeebled constitute*, and rapidly eures every stage of these hitherto incurable and distressing maladies.Sold by all Chemists and Druggists throughout th Globe, pB* CAUTION.\u2014The large and iuerearisg demand for Dr.Bright\u2019s Phospbodyne has led to several imitations under somewhat similar names; purchasers of this medicine should therefore be careful to observe that each ease bean tbe Bug lish Government Stomp, with tbe words.Dr.Bright\u2019s Phospbodyne, engraved thereon, and that the same words are also blown in the bottle, acd every ease bears the Trade Mark and Signature of Patentee.Export Agents\tNorton.Wstogy 4k On.Iff, Southwark St-.Loudon, o.May *\u2022 18Tt« A.:1.^//$34B A6D N*W ADVKtiTiSLidi.N 16.1 Edao»ilon«!\u2014Th ' UIMM t»n».Cook Wanted - 28, S\u2019 Uwule Street.Quebec Race*\u2014P Moril*.Thlalle Lac rove Club\u2014Ao* Malouln.ITaval Store* !\u2014Dinning A Webeter.QuolCng !

undontedly read over with con eiderable pleasure, the splendid programme of two days\u2019 races on the Ht.Charles course, advertised iu another column.The prices offered for both Wednesday aud Thursday\u2019s races are very valuable, aud we cannot but anticipate excellent sport.A hurdlo race occurs each Jay, tbe first one being open only to horses ow: rd in tbe district of Qne bee.Particulars as to the entries, Ac , will be found in the advt.Recurdxr\u2019s Court Yesterday.\u2014Councillors Bussell and Smith were tbe presiding justices.George Noreau, drunk, was sentenced to 15 days imprisonment.Tbe defendant appeared to have given wayentirely to destopera-tion, and told tbe Court it might as well send him up for life.Napoleon Bernier, and Jas.Maguire, a laborer from Montreal, for being drunk upon tbe streets were both discharged Thos.O\u2019Brien and Henry Rice, accused of making excavations withont having obtained tbe necessary permission, were both of them admonished aud discharged.Louis Marti, neau, of tbe Palais, drunk, was sent to jail for one month.The Train Wreckieo on the North Shore Railway.\u2014Before Dr.A.G.Belleau, J.P., yesterday, tbe investigation was continued into tbe wreckage of a train in June last on the North Shore Railway, on board of whicb were the Ministers of the Local Government.Two witnesses were examined with reference to the prisoner Forgues, arrested on suspicion of neing implicated in the heinous crime, and more witnesses were summoned for to-morrow Mr.Jules Tessier, en behalf of the prisoner, applied to tbe Court for the latter to be ad-milled to bail, whicb application was immediately refused.Bad roR the Bcbber Hose \u2014The Clapp A Jones steam fire engine was out for trial yesterday afternoon, at tbe well adjoining No.2 fire station, io charge of engineer A.G.Rouan, with 80 lbs of steam on ; tbe engine threw a splendid stream throogh 1) inch nozzle as far as Artillery street, and in fact never appeared to better advantage than last evening.So much cannot be said however for tbe lubber hose recently pnrebased by the Corporation.One length of tbe New York hose, and one of the Montreal were bursted, with a pressure of only 120 lbs to the square inch, whereas before purchase it was tested and reported competent to withstand a pressure oe 400 lbs to tbe square inch.There appears to be something strange in this business.Assault and Arrest.\u2014About half-past one o\u2019clock this morning, a daring assanlt was committed upon Peter street in the very face of tbe police officers on duty there.A young man was hotly pursued from the cotuer of Notre Dame street and Mountain Hill by a ruffian said to be well-knoyvu to the police.The yonog fellow ran for hill life down Peter stree*, shouting for tbe police, and happened to meet two or three men oi the force on duty.Their presence did not however prevent his pursuer from striking him a severe blow across the face, when be was at once taken into custody.Ho violently did he resist tbe officers of the law, that it required three or four men to carry him to the Paul street station.The Provincial Burns Association.\u2014Wiih respect to the withdrawal of Lt.-Gols.Crawford, McKay, Htevensou and LaBranche from the Quebec Brovincial Association, the facts are as follows : The above named gentlemen being desirous of re-instating Hergeant Wynne and Wilson in their privileges of members of the Provincial Rifie Association, from which these Sergeants had been expel-led; presented a motion to that effect at the meeting of the above association held on the 21st instant at Pplùt St.fJharles.The motion was not carried, and the tit.-Colofie^s, Crawford, MeK*y, H evensou and LaBranche, resigned as members of the association.The meeting this year has commenced most suc-sessfully\u2014there being a greater number of compefifors than at any former competition.The New Diyver Dredge \u2014The requisite castings for tbe completion of Iho new dipper dredge built by tbo contractors for the Quebec Harbor Improvements, having been now recelyed by them, the craft has been completed in e/ery (Jefa'l, aud is now lying ready for trial, at Ur.Simon Peters\u2019 wbnrf tp tfco St.Charles.Tbo crane which is to swing the dipper, was p>'aced on board in the early part of the week, and yesterday tbe dipper itself was fixed in it* proper position.The dredge will probably be tried by tbe contractors tomorrow, preparatory to commencing operations in the btd of the river.' It is the intention ôï the ccatrectord during tbe coming winter, to construct another dreÿge, apd haye it ready to commence opoiktfous next spring.The City Streets.\u2014Tbe present condition of Ibe city streets is positively dhgrecefal, and it will surprise us if the Coeporatiou long escapes aption$ of damages arising front such accident* a* it fs almost imposaible to prevent during the existing state of affairs.Yalier street from Dorchester to St.Ours, is full of bole*, about ten per cent of tbe entire number of planks with which it is supposed to be coverea, being missing.It requires the exercise of the greatest caution in driving over this portion of street, to pfovent a breakage of axles.As soon as the HL Sauveur division line is reached, a decided improvement is noticeable jn this thoroughfare, ft is to be hoped that some method will he devised before the next term \"of the Court of Queen's Bench, for ameliorating Qie condition of SQfoe of our streets, or the membere of the city Ctorporatiop may ffod themselves situated as the municipal roleps of $t.Sauveur were last year\u2014indicted by tbe Grand Jury for keeping» nuisance in the shape of an impassable thoroughfare.Fatal Acoidiet at St.Romuald.\u2014The workshop of Mr.F.Villeueuve, a well-known gcalptor of Ht.Romnald, was the theatre on Tueaday afternoon of a most tragic scene.A well-known workman,\tKt.Hilaire dtt Pichette, was occupied in turning of block of wood, when all at once it flow into three pie/cep, one of them striking the unfortunate man severely #pop th« head, felling him to tbe ground and infflcting a dreadful wotynd.Dr.F.M.Guay was immediately in Rttendr ance, but finding the case a hopeless one, he sent also for Dr.De Martigny.The physicians did all in their power to relieve tbe sofferer, bnt the latter gradually succumbed to his injuries, and died four hours after the accident.He was tbe confidontial man of bid employer with rvhom he bad been engaged for upwards of ten years a stcidy workman, and weil-kaown in St.Komual.i, where his (ad deatn bas created a moat profound benss-lyn.4.wfdpw and eight children survive him- An inquest yraa hefd upon his

morning a series oi robberies were at-teSptsd by a gang of uigbt loafers on hault-au-Matefof pircet.Tbe thieves first obtained entrance into the U*L'{t offices of Messrs.A.fraser A Co, by am&shlng a p»no of glass in fbs window.The drawers df some of the dee)» were fan Racked and left wide opéh, though tfie thieves appropriated nothing but fifty cent* or fio fn coppers, which was nil the money they could lay bands on.They must then have gone next door to the restaurant kept by Mr.J Boisvert, who beard the noise-of people shaking at the door of bis shop, aud getting up to a window frightened them away by threatening to shoot them it they did not desist.This occurred shortly aftef one o\u2019clock in tbe morning.About tfre same time tbe gang visited the Delmouico restaurant at the corner of peter, Paul aud Hault-au-Mati-lot streets, and endeavored to gain admission by breaking a piece of glass in the door so as to enable tnem to insert an arm and unlatch it.It happened, however, tbat tbe cleik was sleeping in ibe bar, and was quickly aroused by tne would-bo robbers\u2019 attempts to enter.He quickly alarmed tbe other inmates of the house, and tne luffiaca finding tbat their design bad been delected quickly dlsapptarcd.The fact (hat not a single policeman was around the street while all these events were occiiriijg h another instance of tbe numerical weakness of tbe present city force.R.T.J.\u2014Tbe present beautiful weather seem-* to Lave given afresh impetus to travel.-Tbe majority of tbe educational institutions in this city will re-open for the Fall term on Monday,

aqd which were situated directly opposite the new Depatt-mental buildings, have just been torn down to make way for pleasing improwments.The foul effiavia seems to arise from deposits ot filth laid bare by the removal of the old half-rotten tiooring.Immediate steps must be taken io the interests of the public health for the abatement of the nnisance, and we would counsel the immediate application of chloride of lime or dome other didiafociant to the lot in question.While on this subject, It is also ourdetflre to direct attention to thé filthy stench pioceeding from the vacant lot at the fiead of tyonntain Hill, north of the Prescptt Qate step*.Exditinq Chase.\u2014The police on guard at No.1 station, had a very interesting chase yesterday morning after an escaped jprisoner.Ope Louis Martin*au, residing auout the Palais, had been arrested for drunkenness on tbe previous evening, and was sitting loose in the station house when be contrived to make bis exit unobserved, shortly before neveu o'clock a.m.Watching his upportnui-ty, when the men in tbe station were otnov-wise engaged, hé shipped otit Of the '(joqi\u2019/'hfs absence not being iminedialely noticed.As soon ça bis presence in fbe station was misled, Hergt.Rigby, Constable Glblin and other* of the men started in hot pursuit down Ur-sule street.While some continued on tbeir way to John street and Ht.Boch\u2019s, others continued along Ann street, and found the flying prisoner descending Mountain Hill in Iront of them.Constable Giblin finally came up with and captured bis man, on the Finlay fffsrket to Lower Town-\ttaken back to tbe central station, and when brought'' before the Recorder\u2019s Court, was sentenced to one month\u2019s imprisonment.' * SPECIAL FROM MONTREAL.Montreal, Aug.22\u2014Ex-Alderman David now announces tbat be has withdrawn from the civic contest in favor of Mr.Melancon, who will be elected by acclamatioa.The following is a copy of wnat is felt to be a most tyrannical order sent to Lient.-Cql Fraser.M.G.A., by Lieut.-Col.McKay.The feeling on the Range in regard to It is that it is no in accordance with military etiquette \u2014Montreal, 21st Aug.1877.\u20141st.In consequence of tbe reversal of the Major-General UoinuiAnding\u2019s decision in tbe matter of Battery Sergeant-Major Wynne and Sergeant Wilson, I hereby order that the men of the Montreal Garrison Artillery do not take part in the matches now goiov on by tbe Quebec Provincial Association at ibis meeting, and that the Brigade of Montreal Garrison Artil lory will withdraw from the Association (Hlgned) Hem*y McKay, Lt.-Uol.Command Ing B.M.G.A.Major General Halby Hmylbe will inspect the 5th Royal Fusiliers on Friday afternoon.The slock market ibis forenoon was, as a whole, a trifle weaker.Montreal sold at the Regular Board at a decline of I) per coot., as compared with yesterday afternoon\u2019s prices.Commerce was strong at 117 ; Merchants was firm.Nothing doing in other Bank stocks.The vales at the Regular Board were :\u201428 Montreal at 155; 22 do at 155); II Merchants\u2019 »t 67) ; 18 do.at 67) ; 165 Commerce at 117 ; 50 Telegraph at IU).Hales at the afternoon board of the Regular Block Exchange were \u2014101 Montreal at'165 ; 10 Merchants at 67) ; 25 Telegraph at 114); 250 do at 114); 100 do at 114.The N.Y.Tribune's Washington special says the Ibternal Revenue Department order against nepotism will be of some effect in tbe Booth, where the abuse is prevalent.Few cases are reported in the North.UrtO SALE, NOT I OB.IlHE UNDERSIGNED WILL .net be responsible for any debts contracted by the Crew of tbe Ship «\u2022 OCT AGO,\u201d wllhont a written order slgred by tbe Master.BENJAMIN GULLI80N, Mailer.E.B.DUVAL, Agent.August 22, 1877.\t0 COPPER PAINT !

one is rejected on that and other grounds.Section 29 of tbe Act says that \u201cno creditor shall vote at any meeting unless present personally or represented by some per.son having a written authority, to be filed with the apalgnee, to act at any such meetings on bis betajf,\u201d and tbe part of sec-liou 102 already cited «entions the same rule in more presise iangnpge.The autberi y must be conferred by persons bayr ing that power, that is tbe creditor himself or his agent when the latter ia himself empowered to delegate his own authority, but then tbe authority pf tbe agent to appoint another in bis place, and tfori pf the person whom be bas chosen to represent f b.e creditor at tbe meeting mast both be handed tbe assignee.This rale should uot however, I think, bp .SO rigidly enioretd as to require Irom tbo manager of a corporation, such as tbe cashier or prealdept of n bank, a special authority to reposent tbo iurah fit {peeling ; though, 1 mast ssf, tbe letter cf the fow implies it; aud it would bo pruJeot to cop foi» to its exigency.But to b# each tbe authori*y to any other person to represent ibe cc«iforarion aud vote for it at any meetiug must be oupferred by a resolution of ibe board, unless tbe cfca*j*r or the by-laws of tbe iustuu ion coufer to othets tpe power to nuipe its representativep or agents in in stances such as tbe one nnder considération Several banks teofe iu this case represented by persons bold ng powers pf altorney aliened either by the cashier, manager or president without anything to show their authority to do so.Tbe vote# bo given would have been rejected for that reason if there had been no other.Other very important piovitious of tbe law bearing upon tnls cosomnst b» spa dally noted.Section 32 of this act of 1876 bas been repealed by section 11 of 40 Fic., cap 41, and another substituted in lieu thereof, containing among other prohibitions tbe fol fowing : \u201cNo person shall act as tbe attorney oragept pf any creditor upou any question as to the appointment of such person as assignee, or in reference to fioy claim or demanl of sucb creditor on an insolvent estate of which such person ia the assignee.\u201d Mr.Owen Murpby, one of tbe two persons proposed, aud for tbu appointment of whom as\t.(he creditors were divided, held powers of attorney from ten of the creditors represented them fit the said meeting and voted for bis own appointment as assignee Mr.Murphy is an efficial assiguee and fis such one of tbe officers of the Court ; be is ooe of the public office!* named by His Excellency Upi Governor-General under tbe law to carry it into effect ; Sec.34 of tbe Statu.e last cited enacts that \u201cu.very official assignee shall print aud causo to be pqeted in a conspicuous place in hi* office sections 32\u201d (containing the prohibition which be set at naught,) and 46 of tbe said Insolvent Act of 1876 ae amended and at every meeting of creditors a printed copy of the said sections shall oe laid upon the (able.' This statute^aure infp force on the 28tb of April last and was ahoijly efier published in the Canada OaxtUe.Mr.Murpby cannot therefore plead ignorance io exteuuatioa of bis bold contempt of the law which he was appointed to execute aud his daring violation of the provisions which re gulated his office, for such ignorance would he inexcusable, aud iu a mau in his position as direct and plain a dereliction of the duties be a.'Suracd on accepting office as a wilful violation of the lay.Tula violation of tbe law, wbicb is prohibitory, ffj at common law s mitdenraauour, toy which Mr.Murpby may be indicted ; and finder section 3fi of ttre statute, 40 Vic., cap.«1, above cited, I am obliged to report tbe facta to the Secretary of State for the information of the Governor, j regret exceedingly tbat It has fallen to my lot to make these remarks and the report just mentioned, but I would be myself wantiug in duty if I bad aUoçrad the matter to pass an-noticed, and the law does not permit my witb-hoUifug the report it exacts.Section 29 of the act empowers the eye-ditors at their first meeting, or at any other meeting called for thfit pfffpose, to appoint an assignee, end determines thfit iff default of such appointait-fft the official assigfiw tor main the assignee of the estate; anh section 35 also authorises the creditors at any meet* rag io appoint one or more inspectors wbo snperiuteud and direct tbe proceedings of tbe aà«igat.e iu tbe msuagement and winding up of tbe eeuto.Tbe creditors may at subsequent mettiugs revoke tbe nomination of me assignee and of any U\u2019bpector and appoint others in tbeir place.Un tfip fpsolu-tious proposed for the appointment of an assignee sod ot inspectors, os already mentioned, tbe cieditors did not agree, a number of them suaiainiug and voting for (he motion propostug Ur.Oweu Murpby as assignee, aud a Lumber of others sustaining and voting for tbe motion proposing the appointment ot Mr.Richard Henry Wuttele\u2014two motions were aiso made, ouo for the appointment of Messrs Holt sod Webster as inspectors, aud ano.her proposing Musais W.Ü Wo it* le and Borstall.Both parties objected lo a considerable number of votes on each side and upon each motion, but th» chaiman refused to entertain any of the objections and received and counted all the votes given, even, as it appears by the proceedings, tbat of one creditor who\" bad filed no claim.Tboee wbo pretended they had on tbeir side the majority of legal votes, being thereby pnt in tbe minority, were naturally dissatisfied at tbe result and have as above stated, applied to tbe judge to obtain the rescinding tbe resolutions declared carried as they allege, through an illegal majority, and to pnt tbeir nominees in poetession of tbe trust which, as they preteodtd, they hud been ppoiuted by a legal majority.J will bow proceed to review each vote, but after what I have already said my remark nn each will be very concise.For Owen Murphy ns Ataiguee.John
