City for his reluctance inpayingthe sum of $25,000 to Mrs Mary Belle Scott-Uda for the right to manufacture and use in the City of New York an aerial ladder invented by one Paolo Porto, she claiming the right to manuficturo and sell the same in this country.Mrs Uda sued the city and obtained the judgment, and tbe Corporation Council refused to appeal the case.This was in June, 1874.It now appears that, in September, Mrs.Mary Belle Scott-Uda sold to William B.White, Secretary of the Board of Police, her claim against the city, for which White paid $15,000, making a profit of $10,000 by the operation.The question now is, what share did the Police Commissioners and Corporation Counsel get of the $10,000?Even the Herald is compelled to tacitly admit Green\u2019s wisdom in fighting the steal, now that its consummation has led to explanations and investigations.The adjourned meeting of proprietors c) property in St.Antoine Ward taxed foi the Dominion Square improvement, held in Mechanics' Hall on Suturday afternoon, was well attended.Mr.Henry Lyman occupied the chiiLand on his suggestion, Mr.Wm.Clendinneng acted as Secretary.Mr.Barnard being called upon, stated it to he his opinion that the assessment could not be collected He condemned the system of special assessment which had been adopted duriog the last ten years, and was becoming worse every dav.It was \u201c confusion worse confounded\u201d for parties who were willing to pay their share of the assessments found that their neighbouts refused ; contested tbe legality of the matter and the upshot ot all was that additional expense, the assessments of their neighbours fell upon them This system was a fallacy : it w\u2019as illusory and could only lead to blundering and plundering.He condemned the practice of parties conceiving local improvements, drawing up petitions, \u201c rushing\u201d them, and then successfully refusing to pay the assessments.He approved of the system in American cities, where, if the majority of owners of property in certain districts petitioned for any improvement, commissioners were appointed to limit tho district ot assessment and the amount, which said limit with the assessment roll was presented to the court for review, aud the parties interested thereby enabled to contest the matter, if wrong, before the work was instituted.He considered that they must come t j the system that all local improvements he made by the city.Mr.Barnard censured the Corporation for the way they obtained legislation at Quebec.Aid.Nelson referring to the corporate hgislation sail they did not get half they asked for.When they came back from Quebec with their laws it was a fact that the father did not know his owl \u201cchild\u201d the reason being that a number of city lawyers, Mr.Birnard among them lobbied against tire city in Quebec.He hoped it would not be long before they had an intelligent gentleman like Mr.Barrard on the side of the city, not always fighting it, but putting his shoulder to the wheel occasionally, and helping the Corporation.At first he was of opinion that the tax spoken of was unjust, but since the meeting held some months ago he had investigated it, and was now of opinion that the whole proce-diogg were regular.Tho Corporation was not to blame, for there were Commissioners appointed, and when matters came to a certain point, the Court took them in hand, and the Council had nothing further to do with it, He considered it a very ditficiilt matter to say what a local improvement was, as he considered every improvement was public to a certain extent.Some speaker, at a former meeting, had suggested that the ward should pay the cost, if tho Corporation would give them a key to the park, that they might go and take their wives and daughters with them, and their neighbour could could look over the fence, it he win tall enough.He did not think this would hold water, inasmuch as onc-third the whole cost had been paid by the city.Aid.Nelsoa further said the city had no funds from which to pay the amount, if called upon.It stood as capital they were out of pocket, and losing the interest on.He held it was one and the same thing, holding property at the same valuation, and putting a larger percentage on it.He could not see the difference at all, so far as money went.Mr.Ogilvie could see a vast differs nee.Increase in valuation put an increase in the pocket.He referred to the injustice of recent taxation, where on one side of a fence the laud was taxed at 13 cents and on the other at 42 cents.When that was made apparent it proved conclusively to him and several other landowners, and had been demonstrated in the newspapers that there was something wrong.If his property two years ago was worth $20,000, sad to-day $50,000, why should he not be taxed more since he was richer aud better able to pay for it ?Aid.Nelson said that if he lived oa his property he did not get one cent more value out of it.Mr Ogilvie remarked tirât if a gentleman residing in a house surrounded by 60 acres of land did not get more luxury aud comfort let him sell it and then get so much more interest out of it.Mr.Clendinneng read the opinion of the city attorneys that bad been handed to him bv Aid, Nelson during the time the latter was making his remarks.Mr.C.further said that he considered it their duty to protest against this tax.He was disposed to think that alt improvements should be public aud paid for by the public.Mr.Ogilvie having been informed that it was the opinion of the entire ward that the tax was unjust, said that he was one of the last at all desirous of opposing the Corporation.It was a great pity there were so many law suits against the Corporation as entailed additional expense.He certainly would not have been the first to move in this matter, but since it was inaugurated he should assist to contest it to the end.The Chairman did not know what the Corporation would get if they got all they wanted, if what they got now wks only half they asked.He stigmatized the process of seizure invested in the Council as \u201c a perfect Russian manner of rushiog into your house and seizing your property.\u201d He conld see plainly that they got a good deal more legislation than they (the city) wanted.Mr.A.Robertson moved that the meeting considered that to tax St.Antoine Ward for the Dominion Square Park was unjust, and that the said work was a public 'mprovement aud should be paid fur by tbe city.Mr.Ogilvie seconded the motion for the very reason that the scheme originated in the Council Aid.Stephens defended the action of .the Council.He considered that the ward wanted the park, aud therefore they should pay it.He did not approve of the tax, but attributed its unjustness, either to the stupidity, carelessness, or desire,\u201d of the Commissioners.He did not think the assessment roll would be upset, and, therefore, was willing to let sleeping dogs d e.Ex-Mayor Bernard in a long speech condemned the taxing of the ward for an improvement which was really a public one.He advised an appeal to the Council to delay the collection of the assessment until they could get a law passed enabling them to fund the debt.The motion was put aud carried.Mr.N.Valois moved a resolution in accordance with Mr.Barnard\u2019s suggestion.The following gentlemen were appointed to wait upon the Finance Committee to represent the views of the meetings on the matter.Messrs H.Lyman, W.Clendinneng, Roberts.Chairvein, N.Volais, A.Foucher, and A.W.Ogilvie.Mr.Chairvein moved that a Committee be appointed to secure the payment of the cost of Dominion Square by tho whole city Hon.Mr.Penny suggested that the resolution be more general.The resolution was altered to read \u201c Dominion Square and all other improvements\u201d aud as amended unanimously passed.The meeting then adjourned.SANITARY REFORM.PUBLIO MEETING OF CITIZENS.A public meeting convened by His Worship the Mayor, in compliance with a numerously signed request of citizens, was held in the Long Room, Mechanics\u2019 Hall, on Saturday afternoon.The room proved far too small for the audience, which consisted of the most influential of our oiti-zans.His Worship the Mayor presided, and Dr.Baynes acted as Secretary.The following resolutions were passed.\u2018\u2018That, notwithstanding all the exertions of the City Council to improve the publie health, its present condition calls for special amt immediate action to remove the causes of disease, and diminish the death-rate.\u201d \u201c That thi meeting urges on the City Council to spare no expense necessary for dealing with the present emergency, and regrets tint the Council has been unable to provide all the fun Is required by the Health Committee.It also recommends that should a special health tax be necessary, it should be placed at the disposal of the Board of Health.\u201d \u201cThat a\u2018Citizen\u2019s-1 ubllc Health Association\u2019 he formed to aid the constituted authorities, aud to educate public opinion in ail matters connected with sanitar reform, and that the following gentlemen, with power to add to their number, be requested to act as the Provisional Committee : Principal Dawson, Revds.Canon Baldwin, D.J.Carmichael, andJ.F, Stevenson, Drs.Grenier J.Baker, THEiACHINE CANAL CASE.The further be™ iu_ of the suit of Jette and others vs.MoNaughtou took place on Saturday.Judge Torrance entered the ourt at 10 a.m , but owing to some misun-ii ritandiiig all the parties to the suit except Mr.Jette were absent, and in fact did \u2022ot put in an appearance until 11 a.m.Mr.Girouaro, of counsel for defendants, tpo'ogized for his nonjattendance at the \u2022arlier hour, but his apology did not appear t* satisfy the Judge, who replied, \u201cThe loss you say about that the better.\u201d Immediately after the Hen.the Premier -ntered the room it became crowded with -pcetators, and on his leaving it became as quickly empty.His Honor said :\u2014In opening the proceedings of the court to-day I purpose Daking reference to a matter which has Already heen referred to elsewhere\u2014that is with regard to the publication of\u2019comments upon the case during its pendency Now the court is more than ever satisfied that there has been in this case a most unwarrantable interfereuco with the administration of justice.There are several darses of persons who have to do with cases of this kind, theie are the parties themselves, the counsel concerned, and also the witnesses, and they should he protected, every one of these, from anything in the nature of a disturbing influence.There should be uo remarks made concerning the case except such as can he made here and such as can he answered here and that cannot he when there is publication of remarks sometimes of a violent character in journals circulated and plactd in persons hands, and the court very likely, if the matter is brought formally before it, will take action ?the matter; hut to-day the court will make this order that there shall he no reporters here to take notes of the case, or during the trial of this case, no one is to take notes in writing, except counsel concerned, and the officers of the court will seo that there is no violation of .this Older\u2014for if such a fact is brought to tbe attention of the court, the offender will meet with punishment [To the Crier]\u2014Tire order is that you see that no one take any notes.While the nauns ot witnesses were being called Hon.A.Mackenzie, being sworn, was examined by Mr.Girouaro, who at the outset dictated the question to Mr.Buckley,' the stenographer engaged upon the case, whereupon His Honour directed him to ask his questions ot the witness ; he had given orders for the t«king down of testimony.Mr.Girouaro seemed greatly surprised and was about to reply when His Hqnor remarked, \u201c That is my order.\u201d The fir ft questions asked of tho witness were with reference to the papers and reports on the enlargement of the Lichine Canal.A report had heen presented by the Government during tbe last part of the session and outside that report he knew noth-iag whatever of the work.Mr.Jette mala a remark to the effect that this evidence had no bearing whatever on the issue aud should not be made of record.His Honor supposed it was prefatory ; if it was objectionable to him, Mr.Jette, then let him make a special objection.Mr.Ikttk did not desire to do this.The witness being shown the copy of tho letter written by Msssrs.Liflamme, Jette and others, proprietors of border land on the line of the proposed enlargement of the canal to the Department of Public .Vorks, produced the original.The copy produced was complete, with the exception of a few of the signatures.He declined to part with the original letter.Daring last year he had a conversation with Mr.Jetta regarding the enlargement of the canal.The subject matter of the conversation was contained in the letter to the Department.After a few minutes he accompanie l Mr.Jette to Mr.Page\u2019s office, as he was more conversant with the question than he (tbe Pivmier) was.Mr.Jette and Mr.Page talked the matter over, Mr.Jette wanted something in writing from the Government.A.fter the conversation Mr.Braun wrote to the proprietors in accordance with the conversation between Mr.Page and Mr.Jette.This letter was written with his knowledge.Rimombered seeing Mr.Quinn in his office once, also Mr.La-flamme, but no one else that he knew to be proprietors of the land ever had an interview with him.Produced the original telegram from Mr- Laflamme.Never saw these telegrams until after this suit was commenced, when he read them in the Montreal papers.Of course he did not sea all documents received at the Department.After tbe deputy had read them, if they were of great importance, the documents, telegram or other, were placed oa his desk for his perusal These telegrams were not considered by the deputy of any immediate impo.tance, and were laid e.side.The telegrams of Mr.SippoH, sent from Montreal, and which stated that land-owners had run up property to such a price that the scheme would have to be abandoned, and a new oae looked for, he identified and stated that ha did see it, but took no further notice of it.When Mr.Quinn saw him he said the proprietors were desirous to know how much of their lands the Government would require, as they were desirous of selling the land by auction and it would be a matter of much convenience if the quantity wanted by Government could be expropriated before the sale, that parties might know precisely how the matter stood.The delay in proceeding witlr tire improvment of the Lachine Canal was not owing to the high price of land, but rather that there were other and more impartant works to be proceeded with first.Being asked with reference to the facts contained in M-.Page\u2019s report, tho Ifon.the Premier saiu that that report, although signed by him, was not necessarily his report, nor was he particularly coguizmt of ail the matter it contained.Part of tire report he was undoubtedly responsible for, but certainly not for the whole.All documents which bore his signature and were introduced by him, were not necessarily his reports, hut those of the department.The Premier had a large package of papers in front of him, about which Mr.Girousrd was anxious to know their contents, bat tbe witness was not aware that they had any hearing whatever on the case at issue.The letter written by Mr.Braun to Messrs, Jette & Go.could not in any way be considered as binding ou the Government.The letter which was written by Mr.Page, acting under his authority, and signed by Mr.Braun, the Secretary, was not submitted to him for his approval before it was despatched.Had never told them (tbe plaintiffs) that he proposed to take any of their land for the canal, or even that he proposed to widen the canal, nor was he even asked by them.Trie letter written to Messrs.Jette & Co.did not bind the Government to toko from 225 to 25 ) feet of the land.Members of Parliament had not access at any time to puns of the Department.It was not decided to enlarge the canal.Mr.Girouaro\u2014X believe, Mr.Premier,you were opposed to this system of canal improvement ?Hon.Mr.Mackenzie\u2014What reason have you for believing it ?Mr.Girouaro\u2014Why,! have read your re- mporta and otner documents.Mr.Macke zis replied again that all reports did not necessarily have his approval.The parties had no communication with the Government with reference to the improvement.Being asked it he authorized tlje assertion contained in tire advertisement published in the Herald, witness replied, I gave no authority for advertising ; they had uocom-munication with us to justify them in making the assertiou further than he had stat d.He did cause it to he announced through the press that the contracts would be giv a out in the winter, so that part a could have an opportunity of inspect!, g the properly before tne snow fell.If M .Braun hid written definitely to the prop.-sitions, he was greatly in error, as nothlr g whatever was really decided.upon,either for the enlargement cf the preieat caaal, or for a new cut.Cross-examine! by Mr, Jette\u2014Never said anything to him of a confident'at nature.If he (Mr.Jette) remembued he (the witness) .nee told trim, when he hud determined to bring the matter up in the House, that he would tay iu the House what he had already said to him in private.Of course the letters were otfi ;ial.Mr.Henry Hogan was examined b, fore rrcess, and after rscotS, Mr.Jette.The case was adjourned until Moudty, at ten o\u2019clock.The advantages utlereU V, ine public by the \u201c ttt tdacona\u201d Fire Insurance company___ office, No.3 Place

this Company as presented by its Chairman This is, of course, an interested state ment, but everyone is entitled to make his own statements of his own case, and the main question is not who makes it, but if it be true.Fortunately, in the present instance all the allegations refer to facts which are easily suscepti ble of authentic proof, and are, for the most part, vouched for by authentic and indisputable documents.It can not, we suppose, be doubted that the city called upon the Railway Company to lay down iron rails on certain streets and has since changed its policy without regard to the Company ; and by avoid ing the steps necessary to be taken on the part of its officers for the carrying out its own directions, has virtually pre vented the Company from doing the very thing which was demanded of it.N*r can it, we sup pose, be denied that the Company has more than once asked leave to change the position of the switches and either to multiply them or to lay down a double track, and that it has ob tained no response.Possibly the city may have good reasons for this conduct though even in that case it is assuredly very hard upon the Company.That body was put under compulsion to ex' pend several thousands of dollars to do certain work, and now it is left, accord ing to its President, with the materials bought by that expenditure upon its hands, from the practical re fusai to per mit what it had before required.In the same way, if there be an urgent reason why the civic authorities should insist upon a switch being kept like the one at the head of Bleury street, in a place very inconvenient for the traffic, that reason must, we suppose, be submitted to.But it ought for that purpose to be a reason of some weight, because a very large number of citizens, who have nothing to do with the Company except to ride in its cars, are inconvenienced by the position of the switches, and are delayed every time that they have to go into or out of town.If this can, as the President of the City Passenger Railway affirms, be remedied by a removal of the switch, one would think that the remedy should be applied, unless that removal should subject to inconvenience another and larger portion of the public.The same thing may be said of the other changes for which leave is asked, though according to the President, nothing is asked which the Company is not entitled to by its contract with the city.Whether that be so or not, however, or whether or not there is reason on the side of some Aldermen, who desire on other points to subject the Company to restrictions, obligations, or competition to which the Company objects,are questions which should stand on their own merits.It may be that upon these other subjects the Company is all wrong, and their opponents in the Council all right, but that hardly seems to be a good cause why the many thousands of persons of all classes, who are served by the City Passenger Company, should be delayed when they ride, and often prevented from riding,as a means either of punishing the Company or forcing it to terms.The Company, of course, has a great interest in the matter ; but the Company and the contract with the city exist for the public benefit,And this last interest is the most important point in the whole matter.Let the Company be made to do its whole duty in accordance with its engagements ; but let the public have all the advantage which the railway can confer.Tub Alleged Custom House Robbery.\u2014Mr.Lafond has requested us to say that some of the statements made in our account of this affair on Saturday are untrue.Mr.Lafond denies all equivocation or contradictory statements with respect to the person from whom he received the silk, especially that he mentioned the name of Charles Chauvier as that person.He says that he has always asserted, and still asserts, that he obtained the silk from a person whom he took to be the agent of Tonetti ; but that he did not know that person\u2019s name.He further said that he did not buy the silk, as represented, but tha\u2018, he merely advanced the money, $375, taking the silk in pledge.He subsequently endeavoured to discover Tonetti, in order to obtain a settlement of accounts, and only sold the silk when there appeared to be no chance of its ledemption.In Town.\u2014Hon.L.Ruggles Church Attorney-General of this Province, is in town, and is staying at the St.Lawrence Hall.Light Dues.\u2014The mode in which the expense of maintaining lighthouses and buoys should be provided for, has long been a great question in England.In that country these charges are borne by taxes levied upon the shipping.But in most other countries the lights and buoys are provided for out of the gene ral revenues of such countries.This is so in Canada, and hence it is not to be wondered at that Canadian as well as other shipowners feel as if they are subjected to an injustice when they are charged light dues on their ships visiting English ports, while English ships pay no such charges when they come to our ports.We have before us a paper on this subject, containing a correspon-dence between the Dominion Board of Trade and the Secretary of the Colon-and we regret to find that the fair complaint of the Canadian shipower is not likely to meet with immediate redress.The memorial of the Executive Council of the Dominion Board sets forth : That the Dominion owns, over one million ions of shipping, the greater portion engaged in trading to Great Britain and different parts of Europe ; that fully twelve hundred miles of coast-line around the Dominion are lighted and huoyed at the expense of the Government cf Canada\u2014a full share of the coat of which is borne by Canadian shipowners ; that these lights and buoys are ahsolntely tree to all nations ; that the cost of maintaining lights and buoys on the coasts of the United States, France, Russia, Prussia, and Spain, is also borne by their respective Governments ; that the.tax levied upon Canadian ships, when visiting Great Britain, is felt as a serious burthen ; that the \u201c Light Dues \u201d of Great Britain are full of anomalies\u2014one of which is, that ships discharging at Continental ports, which have passed English lights, pay no dues, whilst, if they discharge at British ports the tax is enforced.The memorial, therefore, prays the abolition of these dues, in accordance with the recommendation of the Select Committee of the House of Commons.The reply is unfavourable.Lord Carnarvon, under date of February 8th, writes that Her Majesty\u2019s Government could not advise the granting of the prayer of the memorialists, for the rea sons mentioned in a report of the Board of Trade, which our readers are aware is in England a Government Depart ment, to which the matter was referred.The report states : That in the principle of the tax on Shipping by which the expense of lighting the Coasts of the United Kingdom is defrayed, there is nothing inconsistent with the soundest and most liberal maxims of Taxation.The payment is a particular tax, levied on a particular class, in order to maintain Public Works, from which that class derives benefit, and is thus in accordance with the piinciple on which Harbor and Dock Dues, Turnpike Tolls and other Taxes of the same kind are levied.If in the application there are certain anomalies, this happens with every tax, and such anomalies would not be rendered less by taking the burden of providing lights from the class which benefit by them, and throwing that burden on all Taxpayers.In the next place, although the immediate inci dence of the Light Dues is upon Shipping, the burden of such dues falls ultimately upon freights, and the Ship Owner is therefore in the end recouped at the cost of those who pay for the articles he carries Under these circumstances the allegations that every Maritime Nation ought to maintain the lighting of its Coasts out of its general taxation, is one which, in the opinion of the Board of Trade, will not bear careful examination.We shall not dispute the propriety of the principle advocated by the Board of Trade.But practically it is obvious that by adhering to their present ar rangements in England, the British Government shows itself less liberal than most other maritime nations, and that either it places the shipping of other nations in a worse position than its own in the commerce of the world, or that other nations place its shipping in a better position than their own.While that continues, it is untrue to say that the Canadian or other foreign shipowner can recoup himself for the British light dues, because he has to carry in competition with vessels less burdened than his, and yet can charge no more freight.On the other hand as the dues are collected only in British ports, and therefore on cargoes in which British merchants are more or less in terested, the argument about recouping would show that in some sense even now, the general public of Great Britain have to pay the taxes which are ap parently levied on foreign shipping.At all events it appears to us that the present arrangement of this matter is quite unworthy of the position which Great Britain holds in the mercantile world.Jette vs.MacNaughton.\u2014It will be seen that in this case we print the evi dence of the Hon.Mr.Mackenzie, notwithstanding the order of the Hon Judge.We do so as a matter of principal, and in order respectfully to test an important principle.We believe that comments on law suits pendante lite are utterly unjustifiable, and should be repressed by any legitimate means.On the other hand we understand that it is the policy of our law that the Courts should be open, in order that the public should be informed of what takes place in them.The whole public cannot be there ; but there can be no reason why those who cannot be physically present, should not be informed of the proceedings as well as those who can.If it is good in one case it cannot be bad in the other.The Harbour Commissioners\u2019 Dredges.We understand that the new elevator dredge, No.13, for the Harbour Commissioners, the machinery of which was built by Atkins & Burgess of Chicago, will be tested on Wednesday afternoon at three o'clock.It will be recollected that this is the dredge, the hull of which was destroyed by the fire which took place at the new flour sheds on the 9th August last.This fire entailed considerable loss upon the contractors as well as upon the Harbour Commissioners.We are glad, however, that the damage has now been repaired, and that the dredge will be ready to take her place within a very few days.The trial will take place in the river close by the wharf at the foot of King street.Napiervillb Election Case.\u2014We hear from a gentleman, who arrived on Saturday, from Napierville, that Mr.Coupai, the sitting member, has resigned his seat, in consequence of the nullity of Shenington Voters\u2019 Lists.The petitioner, Mr.Antoine Goyer, withdraws all charges of personal bribery.Mr.Coupai will again announce himself as a candidate to represent the county in the House of Commons, and it is understood that he will meet with no opposition.OORRESPONDENO&*.To the Editor of the Montreal Herald : Sir,\u2014A t the request of the President and Couixil of Ihe Board of \u2019J'radej I bave con-sented to postpone the Customs sale of un-c'aimed and seized good», until Tuesday, the 75th instant.Please, therefore, to withdraw the advertisement of sale until Monday, the 17th instant.I am, Sir, Your most obdt servt., W.B.Simpson, Collector.CITY PASSENGER RAILWAY COMPANY AND ROAD COMMITTEE.To the Editor of the Herald.Sir,\u2014Amongst the motions to he brought up at the next meeting of the City Council is one by Alderman David, to enable the above Company to lay down some extra » witches and to remove such as are at present inconveniently placed, notably the one on Catherine street, near Bleury, where passengers are detained from four to ten minâtes.On the 17th Nov.last application was made to the Road Committee for permission to change this siding so as lo avoid delay ; no answer having been received, the application was renewed on the 17th April, 1875.To this none other than a verbal response was given, and that to the Superintendent of the Railway Company, to the effect that the Company would not be allowed to remove the switch.From the foregoing the public can judge who is to blame for the endless delays and annoy incca on the St.Catherine Street West lino.Frequent complaints are being made from all quarters of the town about the cars not ruuniog often enough\u2014the intervals between the cars being too long.1 bis can only be remedied by one of two plans, viz : extra switches, or double tracks.On Notre Dame street, the road being too narrow for a double track, the alteruative of additional switches must ba resorted to if the public are to beseived.To these switches the Company have a right, under their charter and by-laws, and the Corporation lias not the legal anthorily to refuse them\u2014it is only by usurpation of power on the part of the majority of the members of the Road Committee that this useful work has been frustrated, and the public deprived of more frequent opportu-nities of travel.All that could be done to meet the public requirements on the pre-sent track and sidings has been accomplished by the introduction of deck cars\u2014 to far so good\u2014now what the public wants is not tan Urge vehicles, carrying sixty people each, at intervais cf ten minutes, but forty small cars, carrying fifteen passengers each, and run at intervals of two and a liait minutes, thus giving four chances for one that the public now enjoy.Tills view of the case does not seem to have found favor in the Council ; on the contrary, a by-law introduced by Alderman Stephens, which will he voted upon on Monday, will, it carried, be a still farther aggression on the rights of those who wish to travel on the cars, because, whilst it proposes to limit the number of passengers per car, it makes no provision for those who cannot find sitting room, and would therefore be obliged to walk.I have long been desirous of substituting the more convenient, modern, small-sized car, and to that end imported two of them so far back as three years ago, but in the absence of double tracks they proved next to useless.I may here state that for years our Company has been making application in vain for double lines, and 1 have along maintained that the city must eventually have them.In July, 1873, the Corporation of the city by notarial protest, called upon the Company $o lay rails on all the streets to which their charter gave them privilege ; among these are included Sherbrooke and Dorchester streets.The Company accordingly, at great expense, imported all the necessary plans, getting the rails manufactured in Philadelphia at an extra cost, so that their contract might be fulfilled within the period limited by the by-law.Application after application was made to the Corporation for the necessary levels, and no definite answer was received until the time had expired.Under these circumstances there was nothing left to preserve the rights of the Company, but to serve a protest upon the Civic authorities, which was accordingly done.It has been the desire of the Company, whilst maintaining the legality of its rights, to yield certain privileges, to wit, the lines on Sherbrooke and Dorchester streets, with all their sidings and turnouts, for an extra line each on Catherine and Craig streets, with other small portions of road necessary to the convenience of the citizens.Had this been effected there would not be now a single switch or turnout on either of these streets, and whilst the chief cause of annoyance to those driving carriages would have disappeared, the greater object of more frequent opportunities of travel in tire cars would have been accomplished.In conclusion, Mr.Editor, I would say that 1 had in view two objects in writing this letter.The one that the public might know where the blame should fall, and the other

pulling and hauling at the huge ice floe the adventurers WERE RESCUED, and with the rescuers returned to the vessel, being received with rapturous cheers.On the day mentioned, 6th May, the ice around the vessel weakened very apparently, and the captain gave orders to put on steam and at once PUT THE VESSEL TO THE ICE.This powerful barrier yielded and the passengers\u2019 hopes brightened as she slowly steamed into rotten fields, which offered little or no resistance and at half-past five o\u2019clock on the same same day, after five hours \u201cbucking,\u201d the vessel was under full steam IN A CLEAR, CALM SEA.She steamed well into shore and passed the steamer \u201c Lake Champlain,\u201d which they signalled to, and were answered.At 7 o'clock on Friday morning they signalled Cape Ko-zier, and entered a thick fog again shortly after on the coast of Gaspe.A few miles hr.low Quebec, the pilot boarded the ship, tut anchored, in consequence of the large ice floes which she was constantly encountering, and remained at anchor nntil this (Sunday) morning, about four o\u2019clock, when she got up steam, and arrived at Quebec at about eight o\u2019clock.Mr.Barnard speaks in unmeasured terms of the kind conduct of the captain and officers.They left nothing undone and considered no duty too arduous to perform to ensure the comfort of the passengers both cabin and steerage.SAFES.C0DFR01 GHAPLEAU, Donrnion Safe Manufactory.Passengers per s.s.\u201cNova Scotian,\u201d from Portland :\u2014Mr and Mrs R J Devine, S C Duncan Clark, P J Cox, A D Ferrier, Mr

Barnard, Bros., 268 Notre Dame street, who was a passenger on board the steamship \u201c Polynesian,\u201d arrived by special train, in company with several other cabin passen gets.In answer to a request from a Herald reporter, Mr.Barnard willingly gave particulars of the voyage, and from his diary the following facts are compiled :\u2014 The \u201c Polynesian\u201d left Liverpool on the 15 th of April, and proceeded on her voyage under the most auspicious circumstances, FAIR WIND\u2014CALM WEATHER, and smeoth sea, until the 25tb, when off Newfoundland, she encountered a very thick fog.Shortly before entering the fog she sighted immense fields of ice and GIGANTIC ICEBERGS floating with the tide at an immense speed, apparently being fall upon the vessel.The sight was magnificently grand, but the grandeur was reduced a thousand fold in the eyes ot the 700 souls by the dangers which accompanied it Capt.Brown was equal to the situation, and judiciously kept clear of these floating dangers.The largest iceberg is said to have TOWEREE HEAVENWARDS at least 600 feet, whilst its hidden foundation was beyond calculation.As the ship entered the fog the wind commenced to blow a perfect gale from the north, the mildness of the atmosphere changing at the same time to INTENSE COLD.' Speed was decreased to a few knots an hour in consequence of the fog and the sudden contact with floating ice.The ice increased in quantity and thickness as the vessel proceeded, nntil 10 o\u2019clock on the 30th April, when the vessel came across HUGE FIELDS 20 FEET THICK.Two blades of the screw were broken on this day whereupon the Captain gave orders to stop the vessel and bank the fires, which was promptly done.The steamship had now passed Birds Eye Rock, and within a few hours of stopping, was firmly \u201c wedged in.\u201d Everyday while she remained in the ice, the vessel could see steamers passing in the loose ice to the South.The vessel all this time remained in the ordinary route sailed by the Allan steamers.She remained BANKED IN THE ICE until the 6 th May.During the whole of the time she remained in the ice, no signs whatever CF IMMEDIATE DANGER appeared possible, provided, of course, the \"provision s held out, and, in order to ensure this, so soon as the vessel became stationery rations were limited,'he cabin passengers being furnished with breakfast at half-past eight o\u2019clock, dinner at two o\u2019clock and tea at six, each meal being less pretensions,so far as luxuries were concerned, than had been the case the first days of the voyage.The food of the steerage passengers was correspondingly reduced, and it was mentioned in Mr.Barnard\u2019s hearing that they were fed upon rice taken from the cargo for several days.How far this statement is true Mr.Barnard could not say, bu» from his personal observations he judged the emigrants had sufficient to eat, as all appeared to accept the situation and enjoy themselves as best they could under the circumstances WITHOUT A MURMUR.One day during the \u201cimpiisonment\" of the ship two young fellows, braver than the rest, and apparently of an adventurous spirit WANDERED AWAY from the vessel and were overtaken with darkness.Their absence caused some excitement among the passengers and crew, who, as they promenaded the decks in the dreary daikness, strained their eyesight to its utmest in the vain endeavour to catch sight of the truants, and shouted to the topmost pitch of their voices,but only received in return a faint echo of their own words.Ultimately the officers with one or two of the crew left the vessel on what appeared to be a fdhlorn h pe, to search for the missing emigrants, and after wandering a long distance they discovered them on a large pan of ice FLOATING AB3UT IN CLEAR WATER, quite disconsolate and perfectly resigned to the fate that appeared in store for them.It was most fortunate that the few brave seamen went in search of the adventurous spirits for it is more than probable the Ice on which they were detached Special attention Is called to the large sale at H.J.Shaw\u2019s stores this morning.A large quantity of new and second-hand furniture will be sold, comprising several bsdrcom and parlour setn, couches, sideboards, whatnots, chairs, spring, wool and hair mattresses, feather beds and pillows, pictures, mirrors, glassware, crockery, ornaments, a fine lot of bronze gasaliers, second-hand llanos ;

Grand Concert.\u2014 Mr.Henry Peakes\u2019 grand concert takes place on Wednesday evening.He will be assisted by Miss Marie Brainard, Soprano ; Miss Anna R.Bu them for thi, mortgage ot a thousand pounds currency and they claimed to have the amount which was cla'med under that mortgage b, the executor of the late David Darling n duccd to such an amount as would be re presented, first by the capital of nine hm, fired pounds currency and interest com.puted upon tint sum at six per cent., from time to time, in lieu of the sum of £1,000, for which the mortgage appeared to have ^ a partner with him, and interest was com- the\tamount of\t\ther\tlegacy,\tI gave her\tcredit\tin\tthis\tstatement of\t the\tsums\twhich\thad\tbeen\tcollected given, and the various sums of money which had from time to time been paid by *ay ot interest at the rate of 12 per cent.In the result, after the loss ot interest for a period of about 18 months, a compromise vas effected by the executors accepting $t,000 for the mortgage, out ot which there came to be paid the expenses which bad been incurred in the proceedings in addition to the interest which had been lost.I have nothing before mo to shew what the expenses were, but proceedings were taken in Chancery to reduce the amount of the mortgage, and a defence was entered upon it.I should say it was as much as four or five hundred dollars.Q.Was this mortgage an original document, an Upper Canada mortgage.A.It was an original document drawn in Upper Canada and handed over when the settlement took place.The letters E.and 0.E.are usually put to accounts current, where there is something that might not be within the knowledge of the party making the account.The meaning of the letters being \u201c errors and omissions excepted,\u201d I have understood that these letters leave the statement open for adjustment, upon any points that may subsequently come up, as beiug entitled to alter the amount which the account shews.Q.Will you look at the account number 2, aud state whether you know all the circumstances under which it was rendered ; how it came to be rendered at all.A.I never saw this account, nor heard of it, down to the time at which this action was instituted.It purports to shew a balance down to the 31st December, 1865, and commences with the balance shewn upon exhibit number one.No interest lias ever been paid to Isabella Darling, as interest upon any specific amount, by any of the firm of Wm.Darling and Company.The sum total of all the balances at tbe credit of the various accounts in the books, is entitled to have interest computed upon it at the 31st December in each year, in order that a true balance may be struck, as to the losses or profits upon the year's transaction.It makes no difference to the firm whether this total amount of interest is carried to the credit of one account, or to the proprietor, as the case may be, of any of the accounts in question.The sole object sought, being to ascertain upon what amount the firm, as a firm, are entitled to make an appropriation, by way of interest ; bat it has no reference, whatever, to the amount that any individual whose name may appear in the books, may be entitled to collect from the firm.Q.Speaking of the final result of the accounts of Isabella Darling, does she stand in the books now as being a creditor for any amount.A.She stands in the books as being indebted to the present firm in the sum of $45 and soma cents, that being the balance due upon all the transactions, debit and credit, which she had with the firm of which I am a member.Q.I mean to ask you with regard to the transactions she had with tha firm, previous to your being a member,whether the entries made now leave her a debtor instead of a creditor ?A.The entries made in closing the account show her to be a debtor on the whole account, and no sum remains at her credit in any capacity.The reason of this is the first item of £120 sterling and the subsequent item of $10.09, aivisedby Wm.Darling, senior, to ba carried to her credit, having been withdrawn by him during his lifetime, these amounts with the sums which had been from time to time computed upon them by way of interest, were all charged to Isabella Darling and carried again to the credit of Wm.Darling, senior, who originally advised the credit.The sum of $1,074.95, being the amount which was transferred to her credit from the account to the estate of the late David Darling, was carried back to the credit of the estate of the late David Darling with tbe interest which had been from time to time com-puted upon it, in consequence of the proposed distribution never having been car.tied out, and of the rights of the late Isabella Darling against the estate never having been conveyed to anybody else.As a matter of practice and of right interest upon accounts, always follow the principle, that is to say, wherever it is necessary to transfer a sum in principle the interest which has been computed from time to time follows the principle as a matter of course, in-reversing entries.From the last mentioned transfer, however, were deducted the sums of money which the executors of the late David Darling had paid to her from time to time down to the time when Wm.Darling ceased to do business on his own account, on the 3lst December, 1864, that left to be accounted for merely the transactions which Isabella Darling had had with the firm, of which I am a member, and upon which the balance at her debit is shown.Q Did you speak to the first item of credit in the account that had been debited ?A.I have explained that that was carried back to the credit of the late Wm.Darling, Senior.The balance standing at Isabella Darling\u2019s debit represents the balance upon the transactions which she had with the present firm, although as a matter of convenience, for the purpose of saving the bookkeeper the necessity of keeping two sets of books, the accounts were continued lu the same books in which tbey were found at the time of the formation of the partnership now existing, that being a matter which had no effect in any way upon the profit and loss account of the present firm, as all the accounts as they stood on the 31st of December, 1864, are entirely.The plaintiff moves that the last part of the answer of the witness be struck out, on the ground that he is testifying by the remarks thus made in his own favor.Objection maintained by the Honorable Judge presiding.The defendants Counsel respectfully excepts to the ruling of his honor the Judge, claiming that he had a right to adduce evidence of a nature to show that the present partnership of Wm.Darling and Company, are not liable, in order that It may operate a discharge, not in favor of the witness, but in favor of his co-partner.Q.With regard to the account of Wm.Darling, senior, when tbe cross entries were made how does that stand as effecting his account?Does Wm.Darling, the other defendant, owe him anything ?Objected to as irrelevant to the present issue.Objection overruled.A.The late Wm.Darling, senior, stands a debtor to Wm.Darling, the other defendant, after the entries in the books referred to have been made, taking into consideration the rights of the other defendant in his capacity as co-partner with himself he stands debtor, after tbe transfer of sums to his credit.Q.This estate of David Darling, is that woundup?or has Isabella Darling ever discharged William Darling?A.Neither Isabella Darling nor any of her representatives have ever discharged the executor of the estate of the late David Darling to my knowledge, nor subrogated them in her rights.Q.Do you know the circumstances under which Isabella Darling came to this country in 1857 ?A, In 1858 Isabella Darling was invited by Wm.Darling, the defendant, to come to this country to attend to his house during the absence of the wife of the defendant, who proposed going to Europe iu the summer, and the invitation to Isabella Darling was fora period of six months, after which it was the intention that she should return to her father\u2019s house.She lived with the defendant, Wm.Darling, during that six months.After the return of the wife of Wm.Darling she still continued to live in his house and declared on more than one occasion that she would not return to live in the house of her father with his third wife.She continued to live in the house of William Darling for her own convenience, until October, 1862, a period of about four years after the time at which it was originally intended she should return to her father\u2019s house.Nothing was said to me by anybody, as to the circumstances under which she remained there, beyond the statement that she made that she would not return to her father\u2019s house, and after the date of her sister-in-law\u2019s return here, her duties in connection with the household ceased.Q During the first six months did she occupy the position of housekeeper ?A.She did.After that she was there entirely at her own convenience, and was mistress of her own actious, and acted so I should think the defendin', William Darling did not ask her to stay iu that capacity after the six months, bacauae so far as he was concerned it was not by his will that she remained in the house.She lived ou the footing of a boarder iu the house, because she discharged no duties in connection with the house, she was put to no expense, whatever as concerning lier maintainance, other than what was paid for by William Darling, tha defendant.Ross Mitchell & Company were wholesale drygoods merchants in Toronto.Cross-examined by Mr.Bbthunb.Q.C.:_ Q.Is it not a matter of tact that the account current between the firm and the late Isabella Darling, as disclosed in the two accounts current fyled in this cause as plain-ùff's exhibits one and two, aud in the books of account of tbe firm now iu Court, was ontinued with interest up to within the last two or three weeks, in the books of account of toe said firm of William Darling & Co., and was only even altered and amended in the manner in which you have already explained?A The account under the name of Isabella Darling was carried on from the books m use by Wm.Darling, the defendant in this cause, at the time at which I became puted upon it from time to time down to the 31st December, 1870, such compulation of interest being necessary in the adjustment of accounts betwern my co-partner and my.sail, without any rejerence to any amount that might be due upon the account as it stood at the time I entered into partnership ivith him.No sum by way of interest has been credited to that account since the 31st December, 1870, the computation of interest from that time having been carried to a (und other than this account, in consequence of the attempt that was made to shew that I wal liable for the payment of a sum of money which I had never received and for which I had never become accountable.The account is open.The transfer was made under date the 30th April, 1815.2 he account is still open ; it is not balanced even now.Q.The FICTITIOUS system cf bookkeeping to which you have referred in your examination in chief, then, was kept up until the transfer entries in the month of April last?A.I am not aware of having stated that anything appeared in this account ty any FICTITIOUS system of book-keeping.What I did state was that by a FICTION in book-keeping, for the purpose of shewing the date from which interest has been computed, au entry is made In the statement which I made for the late Isabella Darling, in which she is credited by cash, although as a matter of fact she never paid cash on the date in question, nor any other person on her account.Q.When you made out the said statement, plaintiffs exhibit No.1, and delivered it to your sister Isabella, did you explain to her that the whole account was a FICTION, and the statement was not a true one, or did you say anything, aud what, which would lead her to believe that that statement was not true or correct in any particular.A.I could not tell her that the statement was a FICTION
