Cross Lake, 36 miles, the work is unusually heavy.From Cross Lake to Selkirk, 75 miles, the track has been laid and partially ballasted.More ballast, however, is needed.The engine house at Selkirk, to

credit.At all events, London imported something like 100,000 loads more in tbe Surrey Dock alone than it did in 1878, as may be ascertained by turning back to page 40 of our issue for the 17th January.The actual increase on the tonnage of timber ships over the previous year was 70,636 tons, and all importers are well aware tbat vessels of 300 tons and upwards turn out on an average a load and a half for every registqg ton.From this it would be only lair to argue that as trade was so bad last year and tbe stock at tbe docks regarded at the commencement of it as far too heavy, we ought at least to find these 100,000 loads, H not a good deal more, a drug aud impediment in the London market now.The best way to deal with this question is to begin with the figures, and fortunately for our purpose they are no farther oil than our last number.There we learn that this time last year the quantity of European deals, battens, and ends amounted to 5,173,100 pieces ; this year the quantity is 5,081,870, or less by 91,230 pieces than last year.We see no signs oi the hundred thousand loads excess there.But let us look to the American side j perhaps it will be seen in those returns.The quantity of deals, battens, and ends from Americ t last year in the docks was stated at 2,582,630 pieces; this year there are 2,705,161, or 122,531 more than at the same periol last year, against which we have to place the 91,230 pieces less from the Baltic, and the différence of this year\u2019s stock over last will be found to be 31,301 pieces.But as the entire surplus is in spruce battens, it will be a liboral allowance to lake them as equal to 1,000 loads, leaving 99,000 unaccounted ior in these two important sections of the dock returns.Boards, tough and prepared, form the between decks, and ber pilot dapoaed that tbe vessel was tight and the cargj was well stowed when she left port.Hon.Mr.RYAN thought it would be al-visable to ameod the law so as to extend the inspection to meet such cases ss this.Hon.A.MoCLKLL&N said tbe captain of the vessel was drowned.next stock in bulk, and large figures m which to look for the undiscovered 99,000 loads.Of these, last year there .i were 3.705,100 pieces, and this year we Q 1 find 3,374,658, or, in point ot fact, less by \u2018 if we allow three BHATOS rABU.In reply to Hon.Mr.Bnrean, who asked the qaestion in the absence of Hon.Mr.Thi-btodean, air A.CAMPBELL said Senator Fabre was not appointed as a representative of Canada in Psrls.Borne time ago he was about to visit Paris, and as negotiations were at that time pending with a view to having Canadian built vessels admitted to French potto at a lower rate ot duty, Senator Fabre's services were availed of by the Government to watch tbe negotiations, on tbe understanding that his expenses would be paid.Hon.Mr.BUREAU moved for copies of alf correspondence between say department ol the Government of Canada and Senator Fabre, together with the amount of compensation paid him for travelling and other expenses up to the present time.He thought it was objectionable to employ a member of this Hoosj on such a mission, and giving him leave of absence at a time when bis duties required his presence In Ottawa.He saw by the Bablio Accounts that over $1,600 had already been disbursed on Senator Fabre\u2019s account.Hon.Mr.D1CKGY asked if the report that thu doty on Canadian vessels entering French ports was to be reduced to two francs per ton was true.Sir A.CAMPBELL said the Government had no spool 1 information on tbe question.The subjeot of reducing the duties on vessels from all countries entering French ports was before the Chamber oi Deputies, but op to the present time no decision had been arrived at on this larger question.The motion was agreed to, and the Senate adjourned at 4 p.m.St.\"John Street, Upper Town and Corner Notre Dame and Sous-le-Fort StreeU, Lower Town, FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS $50,000.00 1 \u2022WORTH OF-

the neighborhood of Edmonton, by way of Peace River and the valley of the River Skeena to Port fciimpson.The coast examinations went to show that at Port Simpson a harbor exists which is 804.69 in addition for renewals, is like-1 probably unequalled in British Columbia.This route would be from 160 to 190 it should not be done well.But we repeat that to buy in expectation that our supplies are likely to fail us would be great mistake.At a wholesome rate of freight, aud a fair profit to the shipper abroad, a great number of vessels may find employment, and a good steady trade may be established at home ; but it these conditions are wanting, and an indiscriminate rush on oar markets takes place, as the year advances, this will set all calculation at defiance.At present there seems no reason to anticipate such a climax ; nor should we be surprised to see a shorter supply to London, and even a less demand.Provincial importers within what may be termed the London radius, seeing timber produce so cheap and so plentiful here, gave up buying abroad and waited on this market, while, on the other hand, shippers, having scarcely another market open to them, and uo one coming forward to buy, preferréd sending their goods here for wûat they would fetch to keeping them at home through the winter, and thus supply and demand both met in London when the trade was almost at a standstill every where else.But things are on a different footing now.The shipper who can get his price free on board has no need to seek a market where he will have to risk something, and the country buyer will again turn his thoughts to importing wneu he finds he can no longer pick up his nice bargains at tüe London sales.Thus the trade of London may be smaller during a good season than in a bad one ; all depends on the turn of the market t should the provinces cease buying free on board before the season closes and snips may yet be chartered, London will come in lor what then remains tor ship ment abroad, and will distribute it to the world at a profit or a loss, according to the state of trade which may at that time prevail.i wise brought forward from 1877-8, making i a total of

enormous falling off in trade.The great bank failures of 1878 had much to tions in the height of snow sheds and of j most of the overhead bridges on the line\u2014considerably added to the expenditure.Early in the year an enquiry was made into the working of each department, and the result proved that the force employed was in excess of the requirements of the service.The whole interior economy of the line has since been reorganised.Under the new system, the cost per annum is $852,720,-58 against $1,078,667.14.The changes effected were not completed in sufficient time to affect the cost within the fiscal year just closed.The number of em- with it.Trade was shaken to its founda tions, manufacturers one after another closed their works, and merchants were taelf.CERTIFICATE.I bava

In one case he was aware the costs had amounted to 951,000, and he thought that the casse now submitted to the Court could be decided by arbitratlou.The cost for the administration of justice had increased unduly ; In 1872 It was 9318,259 |«nd in 1879 it had increased to 9597,896, and there were other incidental ontlay.Ho said the cost of the Exchequer Court was practically useless, and waa put log the country to a cost annually of 980,000.He said tnai now there was a proposed expe dlture in relation to the Court for new baildings which woold be a farther Ux oh the coantry.Mr.MACDONALD said he regretted that last year he bud referred to the bill of the hooocable member as a \u2018\u2022joke be bad no intention of giving any offence ; his remark waa made with the intention of conveytog the Impression that the blM had not been duly considered.The great basis of a Court of law should rest in the confidence of the people, and If it bad not that confidence its Influence woold be gone.But be did not think that the Con it lacked that confidence.It waa a natural outcome of Confédération which required, in consequence of certain Provincial surrenders in judicial matters, that a Bapreme Coart shoaid be established la the essential intereata of the country.These were maintained by the Court lo the highest degree, and he did not think that the decisions of the Coart warranted any aspersions such as were made u,.oo it.As.to t-e personnel of the Ooart, he said the learned Judges had obtained the highest legal rank In their respective Provinces and had obtain-ad also the confidence of the legal protatsioo sod their tollow-citlaens.The selection of the Judges had been the best.As to the preseat Chief Justice, he thooght the selection n fleeted the greatest credit upon the bon.member for West Durham, who made it, and hi* subsequent elevation was also one which gave satisfaction.He said that there was sosm reason, perhaps, for the objections of the Prov.nce of Quebec, but he believed that there was general confidence In the decisions of the Court.There could bj no doubt that the Judges and Bar of the several Provinces were glad of the existence of the Court, which enabled them to be satisfied, that in the eveot of their committing any error, there was a tribunal which woold remedy them.As to the esse referred to, which has involved so great an ontiay, he bad known no particular a ; and it should not be forgotten that, as lo complaints which suitor^ made, no Coutt ever gave satisfaction to every suitor, ghat the Court waa high in the opinion of legal gentlemen, he sited the fact that it waa only the other day that the Privy Connell bad declined to accept an appeal on the ground that its decision, in a ceitaln election case, waa perfectly sound and correct.In nutters in dispute between the Dominion and Provinces and vice versv, be was of opinion that the Conrt was most valuable, and he hoped the House would give a very decided vote against the bill.Sir J.MACDONALD said the establish-ment of the Court wae one of the national atepa in the .advance of the count y, and he would be sorry to see it interfered with.The accident, if it had occurred,.that the Court did not poencisn the confidence of the country woold not be a permanent one.The cost of the appeals and income would not be effected by the abolition of the Court.Appeals would go to England, and the efficers of the Court would have to draw their salariée or a great expense would have to bs capiUliaed.The objections irom Quebec of coarse were that the Judges were trained in the code prevailing, and there was perhaps some ground of objection, as there were only two hmd Judges on the Bench of the Supreme Ooart.The consideration was not a new ono| *nd the difficulties surrounding this was one of the reasons why he had so long delay, ad the establishment of the Conrt.But now that the Court was esublished It should be the effort of the country to make it better.The causes of dissatisfaction should be examined, and he was aoxe they would easily find some means of remedying the defects of the Court if any existed.He waa \u2022ore that the legal members of the House woold have explained any oplnlma they bald as to ths weak point of the Court, and would have contributed by their knowledge to the solution of any problem which might be suggested as to the diffliultiee and objec- was not so popular.No complaints bave ever baen made as to the Courts of the country, and uo application had ever been made for the e tabiishmeot of the Court.He hoped tbe bill would be parsed QMr.BLAKE said the chief objection raised was that there were so many toforicr Coarts, whieh coaid be bad recourse to before tbe Bapreme Coart was reached.This only strictly applied to Ontario and Quebec, and it bad been hoped that the Provinces woold in lime abolish their intermediate Courts ot Appeal.In Ontario the Co :rte of the first instance settled about 1,500 cases.The appeals, only numbered some 25 or 30 per year, and the appeals to tbe Supreme Court only about seven to ten.Therefore, tbe appeals were very small.But he could not shut his eyes to the feet that It wae a great safeguard for suiters in Court* of first instance to know that tbe Judge\u2019s decisions were liable to review, and this also caused Judges to be carelnl.Tbe cost of litigation had been greatly reduerd s^cj the Supreme Court had been eeUbllshed.An appeal to the Privy Oouucil c )st at least $5,000, and it there had been delay in judgments they were not to great as tbe delay In an appeal to the Queen in Council.All the advantages for soitors were on the side of an Appellate Couit in Canada.He thought that the Bapreme Court might take the books from tbe.Court below without reprint.He regretted that the Court had not withonc PsrliamenUty action established an extra term.He advocated the adoption of tbe system of delivering judgments in force in tbe Privy Council, in which sneb arrangement were made that prevented judicial obila dicta.He thought tbe attack on tbe Bapreme Court was out raging toe rights of law-making of the country.If they could make law* they should be able to interpret them.Judges in England, be was of opinion, did not understand the principle ol the Federal constitution of Canada.The principles of the Supreme Conrt lay'at the toot of the Federal constitution.The member for Bagot (Mr.Monssea»,) had said that his Province was satisfied with the present state of affairs, but it was not long since it was not.Another most important doty of tbe Conrt was the seulement of tbe controverted election dispates.Another important function of thq.Coart was in the matter of claims against the Crown.These alone established tbe nee J of the Court.In many cases this Court could save on a single case more than the Bapreme Court could for years.He held that any defects of the Court were not conséquent on any Important frnit of the establishment.The hon.memberj concluded by moving that the bill be] read a second time this day six months.Mr.GIROUABD said that tbe Bapreme Court was not calculated to advance tbe cause of justice for tbe Province of Quebec.He said the member from West Durham was wrong in supposing the Privy Council was not competent to deal with tbe French law ; they were constantly called onto hear cases from 8t.Lucia and the Channel Islands.He waaçrepated to see the Court abolished, but he was also prepared to vote for tbe rejection of the bill, In order to give tbe Cocrt a further trial.Mr.WELDON defended the Court.Mr.DALION MCCARTHY agreed with many of the remarks of tbe member from West Durham.Yet only three constitutional cues had as yet come before the Bapreme Court ; tbe decislonsj in these cases had 2ooo Druggists Eave eiynsd the folkwing remarkable paper, the eignaturte of which can be teen at cur office Meure.SEA BURY £ JOBS SOS, 21, Plait Street, Sew York : Gbntx.bm*« i \u201cFor the past few years ws hive so.l virions brands of Porous P.aster* Phyriciane and the Public prefer \u2018BENSON\u2019S CAPCINE POROUS PLASTER\u2019 to all othere.We consider them one o.\u2019 tbe very few reliable household remedies wortby of confldirce They are Superior to all other Poroue Plattere or Medicineefor Extsmal uee.\" February 8.1880.\tdect.\u2019TS-Fno-Co DR.CODERRE\u2019S INFANTS\u2019 SYRUP PREPARED BY DR.JT.KMKRY OODKRRK, Professor or Materia Medica and Therapeutics.\u201cThs Isfants\u2019 Byrup\u201d is prepared with the approbation of tbe Profeosors of the uMontreal Bebool of Medicine and Bnrgery, Medical Faculty of Victoria College.\u201d This Byrap can be gives, In all confidence, to lofants In oases such as Colics, Dlarrbœi, Dysentery, Pafhful Dentition, Inability to Bleep, Coughs, Colds, Ac., Ao.THE BEST tHO.SAFEST SOOTHING SYRUP IN USE.Dr.Ooderre\u2019s Inmate* Byrup h«s been used by many of oar leading Physicians, and la our best families for over 80 years with marked snooess and sat 1*faction.PRICK, 30 CKNT3 PER BOTTLK.For sale by R.McLeod, J.k.Bnrke, P.Mathle, J.Vernier, P.F.Rlnfret, O.Polvln A Co., Quebec O.J.Dion.Point Levis.W.E.Brnnet A Co.Wholesale Agents for Queoeo.SFRUCINE !

Mr.KAULBACH opposed the malntaia-eace of àtbe CoAtr, and said that it was not popular In this country.He sa:d that he preferred the highest tribunal in the world\u2014 the Privy Connciljof Eogland\u2014in cases where appeaio were accessary.Mr.CAMERON, (Huron,) defended the Ooart and said that in the speoitl case which had been referred to as having cost so mocb money, act leas than 9100,090 w*s saved to the country.He bad never heard in his own Provlnoe any dissatisfaction with tbe Ooart, bat he thought that if there was any U was largely due to the attacks which had been made upon It In the House by lawyers who many of them supported the Government.Tbe Court had to be tried well, aud ha thought It cave satisfaction.Mr.PLUMB also supported the Court and said 1m should fellow the advice of tbe Minister of Justine in the ^matter.He deprecated any Interference with the Judiciary, or the dlseussloa of their position in the Hoon.Mr.MoDONNELL said be did not agree with the theory, that the Court did not give satisfaction in Nov»,Scotia Mr.CAMERON, (Victoria,) defended the Coart end said it was as necessary as Parliament.He dscied that the Court was unpopular la Ontario.He mid It might be found that certain feature* required amendment ; for example he thought, the delay la giving judgments might be obviated.He denied that ha had ever attacked tbe Court acd said ha hoped the bill would be voted down.Mr.BRECKEN said that he waa so ry that ytar after year this attack on tbe Court was maria.In his Province the Court gave every mtfefaction.Mr.HaGGART said the main objection In Mte country waa that the Coarts were too namecoas, end the coneeqaant cost of litige-lion too great.After a few words from Mr.Flset and Mr.lAagavla, the Speaker left the chair.arrm bjkms Mr.MOUSSEAU, in resuming the debate, mid the queetioo was very imposant.He did not consider that the consideration of the quation was at allin a revolutionary direc tloa, U was merely tbe cons.deration of a question of paollc utility.He thooght the Court had been proved to be of no service.Ha approached the matter with the greatest Impartiality, and he was sorry to opposj his honorable friends, but be had always been opposed to tbe eetablish'xent of the Court As to the composition of the judiciary, be had nothing to complain of.The bon.mem her proceeded to read from his speech, in 1875 oo tbe gabject,>in which he had opposed the eatablishment of the Court and bad ar.gaedthat it involved a cselese expenditure Elia opinion was unchanged to-day.He said awat tbe usefulness of the Court had never been established, and dissented from tbe view that the Court wae a natural crown of Ike establishment of Confederation.No Province ever asked for the Court, and ha thought it was wrong to needlessly e -«.11»», new tribunals,as Provincial Courts wae under the British North America Act Federal Courts.Tbe establishment of tbe Court wit both uselaM and a culpable

tbe Judges on general grounds, nor to the general working of the Court, but tbe general sense of the country waa that it wae useless as an ssisbiishmeat.He read extracts from letters to show that la various Provinces tbe Court ciared upon by the Supreme Court.He hoped this dlscussioo would prove beneficial to the Court and the pnolio.Mr.MILLS spoke In favor of the bill.Mr.BOULTBEB said %e thought

26\u2014Lient.-Governor Archibald opened the Nova Scotia Legislature at 4 p.m , with the following speech : Mr.Preeidtnl and Honorable Gentlemen of the Legulatioe Council : Qontlemen of the Houee ot Autmbly : I have great pleasure lo meeting yon again in general assembly.I am happy to be able to congratulate yon on tbe fair meaaure of prosperity which prevails In the Provlnoe.A harvest more than usually plentiful and dU-tinguished by the abuadaut growth of crops, which for many years had been cultivated under great dlsadvaatagee and with little success, baa given encouragement and comfort to a large clasa of our people who derive their living from agricultural pursuits.Our fisheries have been moderately successful, and the business in coal, lumber and shipping has began to be favorably affected by tbe revival of trade which has been to so large an extent experienced In the neighboring countries.Our population as a whole have reason to be thankful for tbe share of the blessings of life which bae fallen to their lot.The addresses passed by tbe Legislative Conncil and tbe Hou e of Assembly respectively oo the subject of tbe finances of the Province and of tbe sbaie which was claimed by Nova Scotia of the Fishery Award were duly transmitted by me to His Excellency tbe Goveruor.Qeneral.The representations which were then made by both these Honses on tbeee «object* have been diligently second, ed by tbe efforts of my ministers, who have lost no opportunity of pressing upon tbe Government of tbe Dominion tbe necessity which exists for some improvement In oar financial condition.Dorlopthe recess my Government availed itself of tbe powers given to tbe Legislature at its last session, to guarautse the deben tares of the Western Counties Railway Com pany to an amount which was deemed sufficient to complete the line of railway between Dlgbyand Yarmoutb, with steam ferry accommodation to Annapolis.The interests of the province were protected by carefully considered provisions In the contract nnder which the works were executed, and by inch securities being taken as will doubtless save the coantry irom loss nnder the guarantee The documents and correspondence relating to this important sabject will be laid before you without delay.1 regret to have to say that after the road had been placed la fair working order its operation was surpendsd in consequence of new complications having arisen.I am not without hopes, however, that arrangements will be effected by which the new railway between Yarmouth and Dlgby will be re-opened, and the completion and efficient operation of the whole line be-tween Halifax and Yarmouth secured on a more satisfactory basis than has bis hitherto existed.Under the act of last session relating to tbe Eastern Railway extension, work was resumed by the Compunj engaged in the enterpriee, and by the opening of the railway to Antlgonish in the coarse of last summer Council and by the House of Assembly, touebiog tbe propose! to alter the Provincial constitution by abolishing the upper branch.Her Majesty\u2019s Government have not thooght fit up to this time to sanction tbe proposal, but correspondence on the subject has not yet been bronght to a cloee.Tbe Council of Public Instruction has also reorg mixed the system of school Inspect ion which has for many years existed in tbe Province, effecting a retrenchment in tbe ontlay for that service while increising tbe efficiency with which it waa conducted.Duriog the recess tbe counties have entered npon the sphere of municipal action prepared for them by tbe act of last session.Bo far the system seems to have met with tbe general acceptance which might have been expected to attend a measure enlarging the powere and privileges of tbe people by placing under their immediate control tbe management of county affaire.Mr.Speaker and Gentlemen of the Houee of Ae-eembly : The public accounts for the paet year and also tbe estimates tor the carrent year will be laid beiore you at an early day.Yon will find, I trust, that the system of rigid economy in the public service by the estimates if last year has been adhered to aa closely aa possible.Honorable Gentlemen and Gentlemen : lo relation to tbe Courts of Justice In the Province, you will be asked to adopt legislation to iocrease their efficiency and to simplify the system of procedure.J am quite sure you will give to the measures which will be submitted to you tbe careful attootion and consideration which the people have a right to expect from gentlemen charged with the promotion and protection of their interest] and welfare.Atbophy Assist an.\u2014Fbllows\u2019 Coxsotmo Brace of Hipophospbims.\u2014Wasting of tbe issuej of the body is arrested, the muscles made
