feared from the batture or board ico which invariably torme alongside of that wharf, such formation Boing an advantage to large und powerful steamers, securing them from Lbe great pressure ot floe ice forcing between their nulis and the wharf so as to endanger the carrying away of their #priogs.Large steamers would have ng difficulty whatever in making their way in and out of aay batture fora.tion in our port.The New Yark Herald, of the 16th of March, }8717, in alluding to the winter navigation of the St.Lawrenpe, malsde the folluw.ins, romeek meine ef the effort to spy principles of winter navi n of the great River St.Lawrence sucçeod, no ône can tell wbat impor tant qomme: results may follow in the further development of the power and wealth of the grand Dominion, No scheme would s0 materially advance oùr agricultural, commercial, sad manafac{tring interuste, in fect it would lead to the west complete von mercial emancipation, and bring our seighbours quicker Lo their sonsus on the questiop of reciprocity thas thy most rulniistory.teriff.whish coald bodimeped.Property ie the hr + Book uit would savane Smith's terrible prophecy prove false.\u201d r cent.aod Professor Goldwia gr Ps OF oat 5 Beso DAE por Braa-tnpain -sonnection with the Harbour Improvements now bein offsctod in the \u201c River St.Charles, socure the manction of Parliament toy this matter, |' 6 Quétne Jougee pe delay de this aus te sito Pda de pu vos of countries aro Passin rapidly from one to the other, an opposite sides of the werld are puur- {ng thair superfiuous prodaets in liberal [want ft; now that throogh the rail.change for thoge productions thoy oan, boat sopare, thos.which, they mont want; wher we use great slores of food snd raiment tar stagoating on opposite shores want of chewp transport, \u2014 we may be sure that the dny of the abip of acuen thousand fons.the day of large and powerful ships has come, as it is true of ships above ail other ongises that oflaine is power, and speed.and t vif.In tho first great slowment wo have thy key of has grand.highway which leude ta the groutpst of all moisl and commercial with the outer \u2018world.difficulties to be ovoreome uvre posite vé- ly wvothing before the prow of a modern steamship of Inego tonnage.Once more, slothfu) sui apathetic Quebse bestir yourscl cre trio takes oLber channels, \u2014ere it iv too late.Yours ol, KE W.BEWBLL.Levis, Doo.11.1878.this Afterngon\u2019s Cablegra as.London, Dec.12-1130 a.m.Consols \u2014 Money, 97 1.16; Aocount, 97}.U.S.bonds\u2014b8's, Bf.Liverpool, Dea.12-1130 s.m.Cotton A; Uplands, T4, ; Or leans, Tÿd.THIS AFTEBNGONS TELEGHANS.Baltimore, Dec.12, A meeting of Irish citizens wus held for the purpose of raising fands for the suffering poor i Ireland.The Irish Sovieties donated 8880.- Washington, Dec.12.A special to the N.-Ÿ.World says Miss Josephine Meeker has been ap inted to a clerkebip in thé Interior partment.New York, Dec.12.The Times' Detroit specid| says Dr, McGregor Wilson, B° physician of Detroit and formertÿ ot Wèstern Now York, was arvetsed yeutorday charçod with conspiracy with Mrs.Hotohkiss to murder her husband Guo.C, and son Giles Hotchkias, who died suddenly in Niagara County 11 years agora.Hotchkiss has gone to Bu where she will be arrested.Joseph Hengsicbeck, of Poughkeepsie, who took Paris green in oh ferry- house on Wednesday died yesterday.It is stated that after his futher's fuil- ure he caWid 10 Now YoFI tind denied himself evory- eomtort, that ho might save sufficent Lo ubtuin a home for his wite who bad remuined.in Poughkeupsie.lle suce eded recently but his wife refased to come to New York and live with him.Ha thon committed auicide.Jacob Miller, of Brooklyn, recower- Anton Dryer for the selyetion of the former's daughter.Hanlan said.yesterday that Soule offered in Toronto to give him the $6,- 000 purse if he would make an affidavit not to give acy of the money to Courtney, as the lstter had said Haolan had promised him a share of the stukes win or Jose.Soule made this offor in cuse Blaikie is unable to get up a race.The American Union Telegraph tion with the new French cable, A duspatch was successfully sont trom tiis city to Paris.Goneral Kckart, who recently resigned the presiduncy of the Atlantic and Pacitic Telegraph Company, will becomo President of becomes Vice-President and General.Manager.John J.Astor presented to the Astor Library a plot adjoining the building 18 by 10.Lt is propesed to build an extension.Huldub Zeibort, a servant, sspposed we Le insane, was arrestud in Jorsoy City yostorday for offering his mist Mr».Wm.Booth, a bottle of wing into which Huldwa bad placed Pris green, No reason for tho crime ip given.Samuel Singloto, a ticket taker a tbe Grand Opera House, was ar cod for rehusing sdinfesion tw wolured man.The Indiettuent lé Lho frat found under the Civil Rights Act in ubis diolrist.bo !
