six months given to redeem.\u2014The Brantford Gas Company are about reducing the rent of the gas works) and the lessees are going to reduce the price of fgas from $3 to $2.50 per thousand.\u2014The Inspector of Insurance has closed up the Imperial Hand-in-Hand Insurance Company.This Company was formed, it is said, with the purpose of trading on the reputation of the Hand-in-Hand of Toronto.\u2014The Executive Committee of the Western Union Telegraph Company have recommended the payment of an extra dividend of 1 per cent, in addition to the regular quarterly dividend of 1$ per cent.The Company will have a surplus of $1,-100,000 after paying these.\u2014 M.Leon Chotteau has presented to President Grevy a petition from New Orleans in favour of the establishment of & line of

much more is expected.The crop is so large in the Island that is said many of the potatoe fields will be left without digging.\u2014The Montreal Investment Association held its annual meeting this afternoon.The report showed the affairs of the Company to have improved during the past year, the dividend on Class C, being increased the past year from 3 to 4 per cent-The following gentlemen were re-elect, ed Directors, viz.: Messrs.Macculloch, Hon.D.A.Smith, Geo.Stephen, Henry Lyman, Robext Lyndsay, and T.dV Ritchie.There is little doing in Wheat, prices being a long way above those at which exporters can operate, while millers are buying very sparingly at present ; under these circumstances quotations are very nominal, the only transactions reported being several car loads of Canada Spring at $1.35© $1.40.In coarse grains there is no business.Flour :s firm, and in spite of the smallness of business prices have an upward tendency, Superior Extra being quoted at $6.10 © $6.15 and

issue of The Mail, to post \u201c invoices \u201d at the ore Mat rati, shows that the merchants of this city construe \u201c invoices \u2019\u2019 to include auuuuuil current, and past due accounts ; in fact, what are conventionally known as \u201c bills.\u201d You wit), therefore, be preventing very serious inconvenience to them by allowing me to state that no such matter can pass through the Post-office except at letter rates.An invoice is the descriptive enumeration of articles shipped to a consignee, bearing even date, or thereabouts, with the shipment.There can be no confusion among business men between an invoice in its mercantile sense and an ordi-aary account.The latter, if only prepaid one cent, must be sent to the Dead Letter Office.Yours, etc., Thos.C.Pattkson, Postmaster.Toronto, Dec.4th.STEAMSHIP PLAIN\u2019 \u201cLAKE CHAM-COLLISION.The following is the official report of this accident, received hy yesterday\u2019s mail from the Liverpool office of the Canada Shipping Company \u201cMy cable will have informed you of the very serious collision this steamer has met with.I enclose copies of Captain Stewart\u2019s report in official log book, which will give you particulars of the disaster.Tlie \u201c Lake Champlain\u201d docked yesterday morning, having arrived late on Tuesday night.Her bow or stem is smashed in completely between the 13 feet and 22 feet water marks, and it is a wonder in looking at the tremendous rent that she ever lived to reach here.The ship she has run down was the \u201cE.J.Harland,\u201d of Belfast, built by Harland & Wolf in 1876, 1,279 tons register, laden with pig iron, bound from Ardrossau to New York.The ship sank seven hours after being struck, and it was only with the greatest difficulty the crew were saved in their boats and ours ; both lots of sailors behaved like cowards, and it was the stewards and cooks from our steamer that saved the last boat load, the comrades of those left in tne \u201c Harland\u201d refusing to go back after getting aboard the steamer.\u201d EXTRACT FROM LOG.Wednesday, 19th November, 7.10 p.m., Lat.55.53 N., Long.19 40 W.Wind S S E (tone), a fresh gale and cloudy with a high sea ; ship shipping a good deal of water from the waist forward.Ceurae E by S (tone), trysails and fore staysail set, ship going about 104 knots.I was on the bridge in charge of the deck, the second officer having left the bridge, with my knowledge, a few minutes previous.Charles Kitching, A.B., was on the look-out on the port side of the bridge.All at once I saw a flare up light about one point on my port bow, close to.I thought it was a vessel going tbs same way, showing a flare up over his stern.T immediately rang the engine telegraph \u201c stop,\u201d and the steering telegraph \u201c hard-a-port.\u201d The helm was put over at once.I then rang for the engines full speed ahead to make the ship cant quick.I immediately saw it was a ship crossing our bow on the port tack, and at once rang for the engines full speed astern.Before our way was stopped our stem struck the ship between the mizen rigging and the stern.I had had no report of ship or light and saw no other light than the flare up.Immediately after the collision I steamed alongside and asked if the ship was much hurt, and was answered yes, to stand by them.I kept close to until the ship went out of eight about 8 a.m., previous to which we had received all their crew on board, partly by their own boats and partly by ours.The ship proved to be the \u201c E.J.Harland,\u201d of Belfast, from Ardrossan to New York, with Pig Iron.Our ship was very much damaged, having had the bow laid right open, and had only the collision bulkhead to trust to, vo keep afloat ; lay to and hove about 400 tons of cargo overboard to lighten ship and get her by the stern, to take the pressure off the bulkhead.(Signed) Wm.Stewart, Master.Thos.A.Jackson, Mate.Wm.Kinning, 2nd Mate.York Central and Wabash systems.At the same time a large number of freight cars are being constructed for use on the Lake Shore Railway.This certainly looks as if the Central and Wabash are to be operated for a mutual purpose.\u2014Chicago Tin ~\t'\t~ ?imes, December 2.LIVE STOCK MARKETS.Montreal, Bee.8.\u2014The arrivals at St.Gabriel Market this morning were eight cars of cattle and one of hogs.This being a legal holiday, business was dull, but prices were a shade higher, the quality of cattle offering being somewhat better ; sales ranged from $2.50 per 100 lbs.for common up to $4 25 for fine cattle, and Hogs brought from $4.50 © $4.75 per 100 lbs.Elmira, Ont, Dscember 8.\u2014The regular monthly market was well attended today.Between 150 and 200 cattle were shown here.The most of them were disposed of, the prices ranging from three to four and e quarter cents.A number of fine cattle were sold to city buyers, some of which will again be shown iu Waterloo to morrow.HAY AND STRAW.Montreal, Dec.Sth.There is an abundant supp\u2019y of both Hay and Straw, and while the best qualities still bring goad prices, inferior descriptions are selling at lower figures.Hay ranges all the way from $5 @ $9 per 100 bundles, as to

Trade held a final meeting to-day.The Secretary reports that the trade of the season amounts to $1,488,000.The average price of the whole season was about 8$c., and the amount of cheese sold was only 21,000 boxes less than last year, the entire amount being 301,000 boxes, or upwards of 18,000,000 lbs.WHOLlSùALE PRICES CURRENT BLUE.\u2014 Montreal, Decembers.Total.1,874 Pork is quiet at $16 for Inspected Mess, and Lard firm from 10c @ 114c, the outside figure being for Chicago pails.Dressed Hogs are quoted at $5.75 © $6, but there is very little business as yet.The Butter market shows no increase in strength and sales were made to-day at prices 1c @ 14c below those at which the goods were held but a short time ago ; among other transactions we note 500 packages Eastern Townships at 24c, and 500 fine Western at 194c.Cheese is very firm and holders are offering none on this market, the quotations nominally remaining at 12c © 13c as to make, hut the outside figure would not be accepted for really fine Cheese ; the Liverpool public cable quotes 66s, but advices by mail received to-day show that finest States Cheese has sold up to 69s © 71s.Eggs are fairly steady with sales of fresh at 17c © 18c, and of limed at 14c © 15c.To-day\u2019s English mail also brought good accounts of the condition of the Apple market in England, sales of finest Spitzenberg and Russets having been made up to 32s, and this has strengthened the views of possessors of such stock here, who are holding for $3 for finest fruit for shipment, though there is no export of apples going on just at the present, and sales are chiefly confined to the cheaper sorts for local use.INVOICES AND THE ONE CEN T POSTAGE.FINANCIAL.The Money market is quiet; the general run of business paper is \"discounted at 7 per cent, and the range is from 7 @ 8 as to name and date ; loans on collaterals are made at 5 © 6 per cent, on call and 6.© 7 on time, Sterling Exchange is firm at 84 Mail as follows We published a letter in last issue from Messrs.Thos.Robertsou & Co.stating that they bad been informed at the post office that the Herald bad no authority for publishing on the 2nd inst.the statement that invoices could be transmitted by post for 1c.provided the envelopes were marked \u201c In voice \u201d and left open as in the case of a circular; the letter further expressing astonishment that we should have given publicity to such a notice without authority.Now, though we cannot of course be held answerable for the perfect accuracy of every item of news telegraphed to us, yet we believe our telegraphic reports are as correct as it is possible to get them, and further enquiry shows us that the information with regard to invoices was accurate.If the Post-office people here were unable to afford Messrs.Robertson & Co.information on the subject, it appears they know something about the matter in Toronto, for Mr.Patteson, the Postmaster there, who was recently appointed by the present Government, and is therefore likely to be in communication with the Departmental authorities at Otta-va, writes to tb« DOMINION EXPORTS.The statement of goods exported from the Dominion of Canada

WABASH.Notwithstanding all that has been said to the contrary, the Times is in possession of indubitable evidence of a traffic alliance between the New York Central and Wa-bath systems of railways, this compact being the result of the colossal sale of Central stock by the Vanderbilts.The details have all been agreed upon for the establishment and operation of a new freight I ne over the two systems of road.The new line will be composed of six thousand cars, to be contributed in equal quotas by the Red, Hoosac Tunnel, and Canada Southern fast freight lines.These six thousand cars, which, by the way, are to be built expressly for the purpose, will be operated under the joint management of the three freight lines named above, and n«t by »dv new organization.The cars STEEL\u2014 ast «

State of New York or the North-Westerly boundary of the State of Vermont ; That at the time said charter was obtained it was publicly stated by very prominent and experienced officers in the Department of Public Works that the construction of any such bridge was practically impossible, and that no such consent as was contemplated by the Statute would or could ever be granted ; That the inhabitants of the Province of Quebec were deceived by these statements and lulled into a false security, and did not, therefore, make any serious opposition to the said scheme when before Parliament ; Tnat tbe construction of said bridge and railway to the frontier of tbe State of Vermont or New York can have but one effect, and that is to convey the traffic expected to come from the West by the Canada Pacific and Cansda Central Railways, and by the projected Toronto, Peterborough and Ottawa Railway to the ports of Boston and New York in lieu of the ports of Montreal, Three Rivers, Quebec, and Halifax ; That the great sacrifices which the people of this Dominion have made in constructing the Intercolonial and Canada Pacific Railways, in purchasing the Riviere du Loup Branch of the Grand Trunk Railway, and of the people of the Province of Quebec in the construction of the Quebec, Montreal, Ot tawa and Occidental Railway would be rendered comparatively valueless if the American R always crossing the frontiers of the aforesaid States were enabled by the construction of the said bridge, and a few miles of railway, to divert the traffic and draw it off to the afteresaid ports of Ne v Y ork and Boston ; That it must be apparent that any such divergence of trade from tbe ports of the Dominion to those of the United States, would seriously, if not disas tronsly, affect the shipping and many other interests of the Dominion; That to give aid or encouragement to the said bridge scheme would, in the opinion of this meeting, be unwise, unpatriotic and dangerous to the prosperity of the Dominion of Canada, and especially to the Province of Quebec and the Provinces cf New Brunswick and Na va Scotia, inasmuch as there would be a serious loss of traffic to the Quebec, Montreal, Ottawa and Occidental Railway, the ports of Montreal and Quebec, the Riviere du Lmp and Intercolonial Railways, and the ports of St.John aud Halifax.Moved by Mr.Al.Besaulniers seconded by Mr.D.G.Labarre, and unanimously resolved, that a copy of the foregoing resolutions be transmit, ted to His Excellency the Governor.General, praying His Excellency to take the subject into

ofBryans-ton, London Township, on Sunday morning.The Needhams are bachelors, keeping house together.Desiring to accomodate a neighbouring farmer with a loan of $1,000 they were busily collecting accounts for some time past.Yesterday morning at an early hour Richard, who was sleeping on the fiist floor, was awakened by a J noise in his room, and saw two men before him.He reached for his revolver, lying close at hand, but the intruders at once sprang forward and knocked him senseless.They then made a search for the money, and while so engaged William appeared on the scene.The men closed on him, and by firing their pistols frightened him into producing $500, with which they beat a hasty retreat.It is said that a young man employed by Mrs.Hyman has absconded with a considerable sum of money belonging to his employer.He was entrusted with the money to pay some store bills.At the Middlesex Sessions to day M.Crowe, who was convicted of wrecking a locomotive while drunk, was

AND LORD CHELMSFORD.Halifax, N.S., December 8.\u2014The Western Counties Railway Company of Nava Scotia give notice that they will be compelled to close their line between Yarmouth and Digby after January 15th next, owing to the Dominion Government taking from them the Windsor line, running from Windsor junction, twelve miles from Halifax, to the town of Windsor, which the Government of Canada granted them in 1873.The Windsor and Annapolis Railway Company had previously a lease of the Windsor Branch ; but Government contended the latter Company had not carried out their contract, and deprived them of it.The Western Counties Company, on the strength of obtaining possession of the Windsor Branch, went on building their line from Yarmouth to Annapolis and obtained the money because they had secured the Govern-Branch line.The Company bound themselves to complete the line to Annapolis by the 1st of October, 1879, but, owing to law suits entered by the Windsor and Annapolis Company, owing to the 'Government taking the Branch, thereby interfering with the raising of money in Bug-land, the Western Counties Company were unable to complete the railway line from Yarmouth to Annapolis.They had, however, on the date named, the line in running order to Digby, sixty-seven miles, where rails, passengers and freight were transferred to Annapolis by steamer a distance of 17

and south of Missouri, St.Louis, Louisville, and Cincinnati have become the chief commercial ports of those States.Congressman Lay, who died to-day, was apparently in vigourous health when nominated by the Democrats.A few THE UTE TROUBLE.THE INDIANS WILL SURRENDER IF GUILTY PARTIES ARE TRIED IN WASHINGTON.CHIEFS PROMISE TO BRING IN THE PRISONERS.Denver, Col., Decamber 8.\u2014Los Pinos specials, dated December 6th, represent that Saturday witnessed some decidedly animated occurrences at the Commissioners meeting.After Jack had declined to in-t'orm the Commissioners what Indians were concerned in the White River massacre, the Indians retired to Ouray\u2019s house to debate what course co puisne.They seem to be engaged in conducting the wildest dances and making fiery speeches.A man was sent from the Agency to Ouray\u2019s with feed for the horses of the Indians and discovered from the noise inside that the Indians were greatly excited.Those he saw were bedecked with feathers and war paint.He was so frightened that he turned back and did not deliver the hay on Saturday.At 12 the U tes came into the Agency and took their seats inside the building, Jack, Coiorow and twelve other White River Utes and Ouray being among the Indians present.When the Indians and Commissioners had taken their seats, Gen.Bateh addressed the Indiana, setting forth the full demands of the Commission, its right to make the demand, and the patience already exercised with the Utes.To-day, he said, is your last chance.We will wait no longer, we want your final answer and no evasi ns.The list of Utes charged by the Agency women with taking part in the massacre was then read, and the question put by Hatch, will you surrender the men whoso names are on this paper to ha tried ; if guilty to be punished, and if innocent acquitted.The question was put twice, and, after consultatioo, evasive answers were returned both times., When the question was repeated a third time, Ouray replied without consulting the others.How do we know these Indians yon name were at White River at the time of the massacre, or even if they were there we do not know that they were concerned in it.These women mentioned the names which came first to their lips whether they knew them to he the ones or not.We cannot depend on what they say.That is wo at we depend on, said Hatch, Adams then addressed the Indians, making a speech of over an hoar\u2019s duration, saying, among other things, that the Commissioners did not want to punish Coiorow, Jack, and the others, that toek part in the Thornburgh fight, but the cowardly dogs who participated in the massacre of the unarmed men at the Agency, closing by saying, we want those Utes, and we will have them.The Indians held a eoneultation in low tones among themselves, but do not seem inclined to reply at all.When Hatch again asked if the guilty Indians were to be surrendered, say ng he had made the last appeal, no one moved or spoke for a few minutes, when Coiorow lighted his big pipe\u2014\u201c pipe of peace.\u201d Each Indian present drew his knife, and laid it on his knees.The question of peace or war being the one pending, Coiorow then passed the pipe to the next man without smoking, and it went round.When the circle was finished, he jumped to his feet, straigthen-ed himself up to full height, pulled his belt around until the knife sheaiü was in front, pulled the knife out, and threw it forcibly oa the floor.Instantly every Indian present dropped his ban t to the belt, and laid his hand on his knife or pistol.The whites did the same, and the two parties stood fronting and defying each other for some moments, each waiting far the other to make a forward move.There were but six white men, while there were twenty-five Indians in the room ; fifteen soldiers were in the adjoining room.Finally Chief Ouray spoke\u2014We cannot deliver up to yoii those Indians unless they are tried in Washington.They must not be tried in Colorado, The Colorado people are all our enemies, and to give them up to be tried in this State wouldba to surrender them to be hanged.We will bring those 12 men here for you to see, and they whom you decide guilty shall be taken to Washington and the President shall determine their guilt or innocence.Chief Douglass will have to go.We know he was in the White River troubles, and you shall decide who else.Upon this condition and no other will we surrender guilty Indians.This was said with great arrogance and boldness.Ouray said it would take about a week to bring the men in.Hatch tcld him that the Commission would accept the proposition as far as it regarded the bringing in of those concerned in the massacre ; hut as for taking them to Washington he had to telegraph for permission to Secretary Schurz.Coiorow and Jack were immediately despatched to bring in the twelve named, including Douglats and Persune, saying they would be back in five days.After they depar.-ed Ouray again spoke, reiterating his state-ment that the Utes could not get justice in Colorado and could only get it in Washington.\u2018 You there,\u201d meaning Hatch, Adams, and the legal adviser, Yaloi, \u201c are all my enemies.I am one against three.You hate me.You are all Colorado or New Mexico men and a French devil.I have not one friend among you.You will not give me jusiice, and that is why I want to go to Washington, where I can have at least one friend.\u201d Washington, December 8.\u2014 General Hatch telegraphs to Schurz Los Pinos, December 6 h, 5 p.m.\u2014The Indians have given their answer.They will surrender the gailty parties if they can he tried in Washington.They believe they cannot have a fair trial in Colorado or New Mexico ; that the people of Colorado are all their enemies.The White River Chiefs leave to bring in the parties demanded.We wait your decision before leaving.To-night Secretary Schuiz stated that the matter required further consideration, and that no reply could be seat to General Hatch until to morrow.WEATHER RE FORT.Montbeal, December 8.Temperature\u2014In the shade by Standard Thermometer observed by Hearn, Harrison & Co., Opticians and Mathematical Instrument Makers, 242 & 244 Notre Dame Street:\u2014 6 P.M.28° Mean.84° 6 PM 30.45 SPECIAL CABLE (Exclusively for the Herald.)

large crowd.Mr.French, counsel for the Grown, said the Government were endeavouring to save the tenant-farmers of Ireland from a body of men, the vast majority of whom are agitating purely for self-aggrandisement and popu\u2019arity.He defined the legal meaning of sedition, and read Brennan\u2019s speech to show that it is within its definition.After the evidence of the short-hand writer and the police witnesses were concluded, Brennan was committed for trial and bail accepted.After his release on bail Brennan addressed the crowd from the window of a hotel.He announced that whatever he said at Balia he was prepared to say again.His words were loudly cheered.\u2014It is said that not only Mr.Chapleau and hi?, colleagues of Quebec, but their most prominent supporters, are intensely annoyed at the want of sympathy dispiayel towards them by the Ottawa authorities.\u2014That old soothsayer, the prophet Zadkiel, says that trade and commerce will he extended very greatly, there will bo a prosperous season, with merry-making and general good health, with, however, a high death-rate among old people, a probable epidemic among sheep, much work for the lawyers, wrangling among ri-vai religious sects, serious accidents on the high seas or great trunk railroads, and heavy storms.We have had some of these things, perhaps, more than we cared for, but the question, had the old gentleman really and truly any particular allusion to Canada and the \u2019! hum,\u201d or are we to suppose that our fortune is more our luck than good management either on the part of Sip S.L.Tilley
