the contract of Meurs.Purcell A Ry*° should be proceeded with this fall, and mge, as reasons therefor, that it would tarnish employment to ab^at 1,000 men, and besides would expedite the boiiding of the Pacific Railway bv at leaat one year, It being almost Impoe-sible.to get snppUea into that section at any other period than daring the winter month*.Tha deputation was coarteoasly received, and while informed that there are certain difflcaltiee in the way were promised that the Government weald give the matter their careful consideration.The circulation of the Banks in Ontario and Quebec, daring ' September, increased about $1,600,000, the expansion being attributable to the grain movement.In September, 1877, the expansion amounted to $3,671,000, while in 1876, with a comparatively poor grain crop, it amounted to $3^ 384,000.This fall it is thought the total circulation, owing to this cause, will not «meant to more than $6,000,000, while in 1873 it rose to $6,300,000.A meeting ci the Conservative Working-men\u2019s Association waa held last evening, at which arrangements were make for the presentation of addresses to Sir John A.Mac-donal, and Mr.C.H.McIntosh, editor of the CtUstn.Judge Taschereau, of the Supreme Coort, left yesterday afternoon for Quebec.It is probable that a session for the re-hearing of the cases now standing lor judgment will be called.Sir John A.Macdonald having been elect-ed for Victoria, B.C., since his acceptance of office, the statement that he will not rvqnire re-election is said to have the antboilty of no leas a personage than Alfred Todd, Librarian of Parliament.Mr.Allan has been appointed Private Secretary to the Hon.John O\u2019Connor, and Mr.B.A.Bradley, Secretary to the Hon.Dr.Tapper.Ibe Grand Jary yesterday brought id no trill in the case of Logan, charged with stealing a letter.A somewhat remarkable resolt of the recent elections is to be seen in Dtts-wa at present;

fear God only.Tell the truth now and confess what yon have done.\u201d \"I have nothing to confess,\u201d Frank replied.Astonished at his calmness, and advancing towards the place where Bassett was seated, she said :\u2014 \"Don\u2019t yon know that yon killed Wine-becker.Don\u2019t yon remember that you pat him in a barrel and that I fell alongside overcome by fear?\u201d Bassett remained unconcerned, only showing slight nervousness.Not a word escaped his lips.oa Hia xsaia astro as BASsarr.\"You said you once loved me,\u201d and saying this she threw herself headlong on the flour and assumed a kneeling position.While thns on her knees, with arms outstretched, she exclaimed In tones load enough to be heard all over the corridor\u2014 \"By all the attachment yon ever had for me, by all the love yon ever bore me, say now that 1 am innocent, say it now.\u201d Bassett did not even rise, and taming his head aside said in a quiet tone t\u2014\"I have nothing to say.I shall tell all when the proper time comes.\u201d The woman sobbed piteously.If it was acting, she ought to have had a more sncceesfol career in that line, which was limited to a Houston street dance-house.Her s were, however, not the only tears, for the scene was socb as the veriest jail-keeper does not care to witness outside of a theatre.The State\u2019s Attorney was now convinced that her appeals would be of no avail, and the interview was terminated.A WASHUWOXAX\u2019S LOCXT XSOAPI.How really innocent Mrs Alexander Is, as she pretended, was illustrated this afternoon, when State Attorney 01 me lead related the result of Investi gallons in another direction.He visited a washerwoman named McMann.in Fairfield avenue.Tula woman had been engaged to do some washing for Mra.Alexander.She did not go on the day ahe was first engaged.The next day Bassett came and bronght her.Sbe found Mrs.Alexander exceedingly kind.She got a nice breakfast and tea after breakfast.Mra.Alexander urged her to stay over night ; bat she declined.Then she mast come back in the morning.She left, however, at one o'clock, not being inclined to keep drinking the tea.In fact, she (pat one cap down without drinking i', there being a pecniiar, bitter taste abont it.Then she overheard the words, \"Put her to sleep,\u201d in another room, and went home without being anxious to return.It appears te have been jnst two days before Rofos\u2019s body was prepared for the Yale medical school.It will be shown that this woman was determined to famish subjects wherever she could find tnern, and her intent, though not always successful, will be fully illustrated by casee of which Sarah McMann is not the only living witness.\t;
