en Thureday at the City Termisus Hotel ; Bir H.W.Tyrer, M.P, in the chair.- The CHAIRMAN said\u2014G=:ntlemen, when we tagt met in this room, six months ago, I ventured to state to you that I thought that this undertaking was taking am upward directions, we were on the way towards improvemeat, ard I think that what has happened in the interim has tended te confirm the truth of what I then stated.You have all received uw copy of this half- yearly report, which we way, I presume, take as read ; and I will now proceed to will have seen by 1t that the gross receipts upon the uudertaking for the half-year ending 31st D :camber,1879, were 2978,202, and that that was an increase npon the correapondiog haif-year of £64,168.Now that increase would have been much larger but for two circumstances.First, it is ecm- pared with a half-year in which we eazmed 219,550 on the Riviere du Loup branch, and we also lost during the present half-year cattle traffic to the extent of £35767; therefore, but for those two circumestances our increass would have been 245.600 greater than it was.Now, that gross increase of £34,168 was mostly in freight trafic, and you ali know that freight trains sre more cxpensive to work than passenger trains.Although the tonnag- was greater, and & @res'er proportion of freight trains were run, the working -expenses were reduced to 72 87 per cent.as against 76 70 for the Decemb:r half of 1878, and I think that 18 à mater of satisfaction to all of us.Deduct.ng those working expenses, which amounted to £712,807, from the total of £978,202, and adding the interest on the International Bridge capital, we made a result of 8277,- 231, giving a net increase upon the last half year cf 1878 of £52,431.The net ree salt of £277,000 is the largest that has baen earned in any half-year in the history of this :nderteking.Following the third page of the repert you will see that there are still a mumber of items outstanding, which we eal pre-preferences.We have re- ducad those lo toma extent, as you will see at page 25, whe;6 you will find \u2018\u2018preforent al charges scheduled in the D:benture Stock Act, 1874.purchasal or redesmed by the issue of debemturs stock.\u201d We shall be able in the course of the next few years, under the Debenture Stock Act of 1874, to redeem nearly all of these prior charges.Our securities have nowarrivedat that peint that it will be highly beneficial to us te do so, and we sha'l iose no opportunity from time to time of redeeming these pre-preference securiti-s, and you will be h:ppy to heur that the net result to this Company will be, when we have accomplished that object, a gain of between £20000 ond £25,000 a year.We shall thus siwp'ify our accounts ; we shall reduce the interest to that amount, which is all practically net profit to ns\u20142£25,000 make a few observations upon it Tou: 2.saya\u2014* This state of affairs, taken ia conneetion with the notice of the Pennsylvania, resulted in the \u201cdisgraceful contest, during which property was transferred from the far west to the seaboard at rates inaufficient to pay the cost of terminal expenses incurred at the delivery station.\u201d Not only \u2018insufficient to pay the ccat of casriage along the line, but insufficient to pay the cost of terminal charges at the end.Ia fact, a large amount of traffic was abaolutely moved for nothing.\u2018That is the state of things wo have had to contend with during a portion of the past kal£- year.I think, considering the low rates which hava prevailed, and the difficulties our cflicers have had to work against, that they have done themselves great credir, aud bave done justice to us ic working the line az the rate of 72 pee cent.upon she working expanses.As I have before explained, the rate cf working cxpanszs does not depend upon the cost at which traffic is conveyed ; there is an amount of money which must be spank in propery œain- taining the line, and there is an amount of money which must be expsnded in the acutal cost of conveying traffic, and when the rates ars no higher, to put it at that point oaly, than traffic, then we cannot work excapt at 100 per cent.But if the rates ara double the actual cst of maintenance amd conves- anoe, then we can work at 50 per C:nt,; but, considering the very low rates that bave provailed for so large a part of the half year, I think our officers deasrve credit for what they have done.I hold in my hand three tables, which give ua at a glanee the whole of our operations fur the half-year.I know that there are many Chairmen and officers of Kailway Companies who are afraid to let the shareholders know too minutely what they are doing.[am not one of tnose ; I am not afraid of telling anything ; I am always anxious to Le perfectly open with you, and if anybody in the meeting, or out of it, can tell us how we can improve matters in any way we shall be the very first to take advantage of their suggestions.I have here the statis- ticg of the freight mileage for the December half of each year from 1872 to 1879, and they are made out upon a principle whieh is not adopted ia this country.I wish it could be 60, b:cause it would enable fair comparisons to bs made batween one Riilway aud another.In this country statistics of Railways are o:zly made ous so as to afford comparison between the traia mileage of one line and the train m:leage of another.That does not afford à fair meaus of comparison, and when you come to compare the working of one line with the working of another you will find discrepancies that it is quite impossible to acccunt for.I had to go through this process myself in thé Guvernment service for several years, and I know how excessively misleading the results.are.On the Grand Trunk we adopt a very much better principle.Wa make cut oar statistise with refereuce to the actual work performed per ton per mile a year we will say\u2014and wa shall avoid the risk which always comes more or less upon Companies of this description in having to redeem at som?inconvenient moment the sums which fall due to be paid, for it almoss always does happen when large sums are falling due at particular period, that those periods are inconvenient to the Company.This'ia the result of the half-year\u2019s working, and we\" have been able to pay you ulready\u2014and it is rather anomalous in this Company that we always pay before the meeting ; I do not know whether we think we can claim emiling fac:s on that account, you having been paid already ; but we always pay before the meeting, and we have already paid you the balance naime- ly, £64,200\u2014which leaves £1440 to ba carried to the next half-year's account.As regards the cost of working the railway, you will see at page 5, we ex~ nded on ¢ way, stations and buildings,\u201d in 1879, £151,975.and in 1878, £171,933, on the maintenance and renewals of the road and structures, which was £19,000 less than in 1878.That is principally on account of our ceasing to work the Riviere du Loup branch, but the road has been: maintained in a complete atato of efficiency at a less cost than before.As regards engines and workshops, you will see we have spent £4,000 more in this half-year \u2018han the corresponding half-year, The reason of that ie, we have been cirrying more tonnage, doing more work, and therefore obliged to spend wore in repairing engines.But we have dope somethi-g more than that.When engines came in for heavy repairs we have been converting them into coal-burning engines, and that will be a source of economy to us in the fu\u2018ure.You allknow the disadvantage of burning wood.A+ firat we used \u2018o burn wood almost over the whole of the Grand Trunk, but by degrees we have coms to burn coal, and we avoid loss by fire, loss by pilfering, and lose Ly stacking wcod fr long periods.We can obtain our supply of coal as we want it, and so the advantage of substituting coal for wood over nearly the whole systew, which we hope to do in time, will be very great.It has also cost us more for fuel, and for the reason I have already mentioned, that we hauled a large proportion of the increase of trafic in freight trains.It costs a great deal more to haul a heavy freight train with 400 tops behind the engine than it does a comparatively light passenger train, and for that reason we have consumed more fuel than in the corresponding half-year.For the same reason the expenses of the traffic depar:ment have increased to some extent, but in spite of all that you will be glad to see the percentage under those heads to gross receipts was 43°59 in 1879, as against 44°09 in 1878, which is a decrease upon the whole of \u201850, I am sorry to eay the Canadian Government have lately added 10 cents per ton to the duty upon coal imported into Canada.I -eannot conceive the system or the justice of such an arrangement.The industries of Canada requiring coal, and the p:opls of Canada in such & climate during winter requiring fuel, one would have thought the object of a paternal and wise Government would have been to allow them to have that coal as cheaply as they could get it.We must not, however, complain ; the utmost damage to us ia the duty of 10 cents upon 110,000 tous of coal cf 2,000 ib; each, or, say, £2,26).Referriug to Mr Hannaford\u2019s report you will observe that we have now 1,131$ miles of steel rails in the track.We keep adding 30 or 40 miles every year, and the economy of doing so must be obvious to you all; it costs a great deul less for maintenance, and we hope to add steel rails to the branches, and then to the sidings.As they become half-worn out in tbe mein line we propose to transfer them to the sidings, and so by degrers we shall get the whole line laid with stecl raile.Now I come to a subject which is the most impertant of all the subjects I -| have to mention to you, and tbat is the subject of rates, The rates during the past half-year have been such as the railways of this country could not live upon under any circumstances.On 2ad June they were only 10 cents per 160 lb.from Chicago to New York, which is coneiderably below the netéal cost of carriage.On 19th June they were 1§ cents ; on 23rd June they were 20 cents; on 4th August they rose to 25; on the 25th they rose to 30 ; en 13th October to 85 cents, and it was only on 10th Novembet that they were advanced to 40 cents, which is a fair and reasonable rate, and they continued to the end of the year at that rate.But it was not only that those low rates prevailed, but that they even werd not maintained, and we bave had a great deal of correspondence with the American Railways -on that subject from time to time.J like to give credit where credit is due.Whilst other Companies were competing in a wild way with one another, the officers of the Baltimore and Ohio Company were acting with our cfficers in Canada and doing their best to get the rates put on a proper footing.The average rate we thus obtained during the half-year was just about the same asin the preceding half year\u2014viz., .69 of a cent on'n ton per mile, a very little over one- third of a penny per ton per mile.Mr.King, the deputy Chairman of the Baltimore and Ohio, writes to Mr.Seargeant on this subject :\u2014*' I was surprised by this information.I eould not believe the Northern lines would make an advance in rates to 15 cents and 20 cents on June 9th, and en the 23rd another advance of 20 to 25 cents, and seriously consider ano-her advance to 25 and 30 cents when they were taking freight in large quantities at 94 cents to Baltimore and 10 cents to Now York.\u201d Utufortunately, when they meet in America and make agreements to advance rates for traffic, it always happens that certain Companies bave con- trac:ed for spme time in advance at alow Tate, and they gosn working these contracte, and then they meet again to make further agreements, they always fad again that \u2018 fur*ber contracts have been made.That jis sopstantly the difficulty.Mr.King an EE AE and per passenger per mile, and it is the result of that mode of stating the account I now hold in my hand, and which I should like to explain to you.The number of tous carried one mile in the December half of 1872 was 221,955,670, and it has been increasing ever since in round numbers up to 238,000,000 in 1873, to 332,000,000 in 1874, to 342,000,000 in 1875, 377,090,G00 in 1876, 435,000,000 in 1877, 394,000,000 in 1878, and 473 000,000 in 1879 So that the traffic in 1879, as eompared with 1872, bas increased from 221,000,000 up to 473,030,- 000 ton-miles.I have often heard it stated that the Grand Trunk never can do any good\u2014thera is ho traffic in the country, I tell you we are carrying an enormous traffic ; it 13 not the traffic that we want, but it is the remuneration for conveying it.That tcaffic was carried in cary hauled oue mile numbering 38,000000 in 1872, increased to 74,000,000 in 1877, reduced \u2018again to 69,000,600 in 1879, and that shows you that we are doing more werk with our cars.Or, to put it more clearly in another form, whereas every car carried per wile 6-69 in 1872 every car carried per mile 6 87 tons in 1879, and that, I may tell you, is something like three or four times as much as is done on the average in this country.Considering the low rates at whici we work, we could not live at all unless we carried full trgin loads.All our trains are fully loaded running east, though they are nut, uatforiuna\u2018ely, so fully ioaded running west.\u2018The average receipts per ton per mile fell in consequence of the reduced rates frsm Dacember, 1872, when they were 1:38 cents per ton er mile, to \u201869 of a ¢.nt in 1879, and the all bas been pretty gradual), except in 1878, when it was higher than in 1872, and wag 1'4% of a cent por ton per mile.In 1872 aud 1873 the rate per ton pec mile whish we received from our traffic was thus double what it had been during the past balf year ; and if we could have got for the work we did during the past half- year the rate which we received in 1872° and 1873, I am afraid to tell you what the result would be mpen this undertaking in the way of payment upon our stocks.Another important point isthe dead weight of cars, taking them at ten tous each to one tou of freight.Every car weighs about ten tous, A large proportion of them are box cars runcing each on two bogie-tracks, or eight wheels.The dead weight was in 1873 1-98 tons to ome ton of freight, We have reduced that, Ll am happy to say, to 146 tons, and we are continuaily striving to reduce it by building cars which will cury more net weight in proportion to their own weight, During.the half-year wa carried, of course, as yê always do, a large proportion of tonnage for the Company's own purposes.That is not included in the statement I have given you.The proportion of itis gbout 13} million ton- miles to the total 473 millions, and the alteration which it makes is that it shows the average number of tons carried per car per mile to be seven tons and à littis over, band the dead weight of cars to by 1-42 tons to the ton of freight.Thoss are tha statistics of our freight traffic.The statistics of passenger traffic are not so interesting, and there.is comparatively little variation in them as between one year and guother.The greatést number of passengers emrried one mile was in 1876 and 1874, was upwards of 74,- 000,000; in 1872 it was 70,000,000; and in 1879, 74,000,000.That passenger traffic would, no deubt, have considerably increased but for the very serious state of depression in which the United States and the Dominion have been during the past few years.Now that botter times are dawning upon them, now that there is al ready a great improvement ia tha United States, and that there is a very much better feeling in Canada, I have no doubt that we shall derive benefit from an in- creasg of pagsunger traffic in both countries, and that will be nearly all net profs to us; beçauge our trains will be better filled without cur being obliged to put on extra trains to any great extents for the accommodation of such traffic.The number of passengers per cir per mile has not varied much; it is now 107$.The average dead weight per passenger is 1°69 tona, rather mare than one and a balf tons p:r passenger.I wish we could reduce tbat amount, and we shall do so when we get our trains bete ter filled.The average distance travelled by each piesenger will be interesting to you.Of course it is very much greater than the average distance travelled ia this country\u2014it is abeut 67} miles.Imay me :- tion to you one fuazurs of interest, and that is, the ircrease of our west.bound traffic.It Amouated in this half-year to 31-70 per cent, nearly one-third of the whole, against 27-88 for the corresponding baif-yesr of 1878.The total freight car miles being, in round figures, about 69,000,000, and all cara going eastward, as I have told you, being fully loaded, or carrying rather more than ten tons, then there would be about 34,500,000 of west-bound car mileage, aud the total tons moved westward would be 125,000,000, or 3.62 tons per car.For the half years of 1876-7-8-9 the figures show a most gratifying increase in our west-bound traffic, .which traffis we want to increase more than the enst-bourd, because we want our cars to be loaded both ways.The increase is frem 66,000,000 in 1876 to 80,000,000 ia 1878, and to 125,000,000 in 1879.There ig another good prospect opening upon us, and that is a great increase in our immigrant trafic.You will have seen lately by the published accounts that the immigrants, not only from England and Ire- lund, but Sweden and other countries, are all swarming into the States in snch quantities that they cannot iad room for them on their errival ; they are obliged to forward them on as fast as they come, in order to make room for others, und that is held out to us in Canada as a source of increase in our paesenger traffic, which we may look for in the coming few months.From a report of the Minister of Agriculture, wo ficd there were 61,000 immigrants in 1879, against 40,000 in 1878, 85,000 in 1877, and 99,000 in 1873, and we believe that that number will be largely increased.As re.the amount that is required to carry the : iioiens 0R FE t.des D de la Guuren2® .\u201dm .wv-any NA al?.or.0g a edt il \u2014\u2014 np pou gards the imprerremen Foffon?Tpoal

respec!s an advénbage to ts eather than otherwise, while others will not burt usmuch.Theysdédallygothrough country where there is little to be.had ;.at ail events it is better to look these things in the face.As regards (be dompetition between Ottawa dnd\u2019 , oar total traffic botwayæ/ thoge place 1877 gave us £5,800 ; in 1878 it\u201d\"wa® 23-300 Sand in cousequenca of the competition of the direct line Lketween these points it was reduced to ÆA2400 in the half- year of 1879.Do that, after all that has been said and done, the utmost loss upon that is £4400 in a half-year, which we shall more than make up in other ways.Then, as regards the direct liae between Quebecc and Montreal], all we made out of that in 1876 was £3600 for traffic in both directions, in 1877 £3,000, in 1878 £3,000, and in 1879 £2000.There is à lusa of £1,600 for the half-year to us in traffic, and deducting the working ex- ponses,I do not think that will hurt us very much either.The earnings to aud from the Iatercolonial have also fallen off.The total of passengers and freight in 1878 was $253,000, and in 1879 $217,000 ; therefore, we lost upou that 27,200 during the half-year.We have not yet begnn to see much improvement in the trade of Canada.To illustrate the depression that has taken place I will trouble you with soma figures showing the total value of importe and exports between 1867-8 and 1878-9.In 1867-8 the total imports were $73,000,000, which ineressed up to $128,000,000 in 1874, and have gradually failen year after year down to 1879 to $81,003,000.The total exporta ia the same way increased from 1868, when they were $57,000,000, up to $s9,000,000 in 1873, aud then tkey fell away greatly year by year, almost every year showing a decrease, to $71,007,000 lia 1879.That shows you tbat Canada has been evan to the end of 1879 going always downwards, and how mueh we Lava to expect again when the increase returns, as it certainly will come in the course of the next few years.I am sorry tosay I have not much to report to you in a way that will saticfy you with regard to the Groat Western, During the half-year they have still besa veering about from one ally to the other\u2014what they call their American allies\u2014and they do not lose opportunities of doing harm to us.The Great Western and Grand Trunk general freight agents have, however, recently met, and have made an agreement for traffic from Ontario to New York, Montreal, and Quebec, and I hops the tariffs they have agreed upon will bo maintained, and will become the basis for future divisions.Unfortunately, they do not always play fiir as regards traffic.I had occasion at the last meeting, in reply to some attacks that were made upon us, toshow you some of the circulars they allowed to bo issued, in which they did not speak very nic-ly of us\u2019; and I observe Colonel Grey, in his recent speech, says:\u2014\u201cI think it is quite right our (Great Western) road should be appreciated, for in the three points which the public look to in railroads to indace them to travel we show considerably in advance of others, or at any rate we equal all other roads, These three points are comfort, safety, and punctuality.Ia reference to the gemfprs,d meed not tell yon that we keep pade with our neighbors, and more than that.\u201d I did not quite understand at first gight what that meant; but here is n lettez from one of their agents which explains exactly what they meant by the expression * more than that;\u201d for Mr.Simon 8.Bowman, their town agent at Berlin in Ontario writes to a Mr.Valentine Verler, of Little G:rmany:\u2014*Dear Sir\u2014If you will buy your tickets through me, I will let you Lave them for one dollar a ticket less than the Wabash offer of $25, or for say $24, and will alo pay for supper, lodg ug, and breakfast for your whole party, and go with you personally as far as Detroit.Please let ma know if you accept this offer\u201d Ez uno disce omnes.If that is the way the Great Weatern are condocting their trafic, thea I venture tosay it is not a proper way of coa~ ducting traffic, and if any of our agents were to attemn* tn do anything of ths sort he would ba dismissel inatantly.Whether they do any more than that I am not prepared to say.I do not mike thess remarks out of any ill-nature to the Great Western.I have often stated that noth ing would give me and the Directors of this Beard greater pleasure than to join with the Great Western for the good of themselves, as Well as for the gcod of this Compwy.I have said over and over again that there 1s a saving of £200,000 a year to be made by putting these tao Companies together, We cannot precipitate that matter.We are now in a position of independence, and we can afford to wait.I do not think the Great Western can so well afford to wait, but that is their affair, and we must only wait till they come to their senses, or until the gentlemen who are at the head of their affairs are prepared to coms to us and negotiate with us on fair terms for what I am myself convinced would be for the good of both.Now I come to what Colonel Grey, the President of the Great Western, has called our will-o\u2019-the-wiep ; he talked of our folowing our will.o\u2019-the-wisp to Chicago.We have now, as you kaow, a line to Chicago, and I never think of it without thinking of it as our \u2018\u2018 will-o\u201d-the wisp\u201d line, and a very ' good ** will-o\u2019~the-wisp\u201d it is.You may remember just à year ago standing in this place I told you what we proposed to do.I have now come to say to you that we have it.Wa began, as you know, by negotiating with the Government of the Dominion for the sale of the Riviere du Loup line, and we sold it to.them for £310,000, and the old rails on the line, and I am happy to say those old rails have become more valuable since they were good enough to let us have them in.On 15th May the Governor-General gave his assent to the Bill under which the Dominiea took over that line, and on 30th June you were good enough to authorizezthe sale of that line and to confirm the act which had beem passed through the Dominion Legislature At the last half yearly meetinz I told you what we were proposing to do, and had partly done with the £310,000.We bought piece by piece the sections of what is now the Chicago and Grand Trunk.To buy the Flint and Port Huron section, the Flint and Lavsing section, the Lansing and Milton section, the Milton awd Valparaiso section, to construct the Valparaiso and Thornton section, to pay for what we had bought three years before,an entrance into Chicago, and to improve them all, has cost us altogether up to the present time £2510,- 020.We have received frop the Government £310,000; we received from the public in this country out of the money subscribed upon the - pros- spectus we = issued last autumn £470,000, making a total of £780,000.Tp to the last advica3 we had spent £510,000, and there remains to be spent £270,000.I think we have done pretty wall with the money so far.Wo shall spend a very large proportion of that £270,000 this year in putting down ateel rails, in improving the line in varieui ways, putting in extra sidings, providing extra equipment, and we mean to make that as good a line as is oa the continent, and we bope to be prepared in the course of this autumn to run through passenger traffic over it.We do not intend to begin too soon ; we mean to go on gradually, and perfect it, and make it the best through line between Chicago and the St.Clair river; aud we havo already got some advantage from the receipts from it, for we are now getting something like £85,000 or £6,000 a week of receipts, quite enough to pay interest on our bonds.We have, however, wet with some difficulties in completing the line be= tween Valparaiso and Thornton.We let the contract on 2ad September, and the contractor was bound to have it completed by thegend of the year.Bid weather came on, the price of labour and materials rose, and the contractor failed to carry out his contract.We had to take it off his hands and fiuish it ourselves, We did so AILY COMMER 6 in : MONTREAL, SATURDAY, MAY 15, 1850.will untimately be of great value to us.Well, gentlemen, the lumber trade is im- by ad February, and wi began to rua trains ag soon as ever we got the rails through, and we began to yun some trains by night while we kept on ballasting and | working by day.Bat we do not want to tarn all the traffic on to that line.We do n6t want to deprive ourselves of the valuable assiatance of the Michigan Central, We have worked for very many yesra with tha Michignu Central} and if Mrand had not tried to cut we off by purchasing the Flint and Lansigg section of the Chicago and Grand Truak line, we might have remained working with them to this mowent.We wish toremain on good terms with the Mich) Central.To give you am idea of hag we are doing as regards that traffic, I wil tell you how it ran on the week ending 30th April.The Michigan Central gave us during that weok 8,800 tous of trafffs, against 12,660 toas in the correspondièg week of 1878.We delivered to them Z432 tons, against 2,706 tons, so that we gate them almost as much as we did before.Now, for the same week the Whicagv and Grand Trank gave us 6,963 tons, against 4,190 tons for the corresponding week ; and we handed to the Chicago and Grand Trunk 2,818 tons, against 743 tons which we handel to it in the corresponding weel, so that you see, whilst wa did not very Jmuch diminish the quantity we gave to $he Michigan Cential, we were able ive a still larger quantity to the Chicago and Grand Trunk.\u2018ne traffic of that Chicago and Grand Tiunk routs (then under another name), however, fell off from 1876, when we received 95,000 tona from it, to 837,000 tons in 1878.That was in consequences of Mr.Vanderbilt's purchase of the intervening section.Now that we have got possession of it, we can gradually increase the traffic upoa it, and it will become a very raying concern, a8 I shall show you.I must tel you that the line was born on the 6:h of this month of April.On that day the diffarentace ions were allamalgamated into ous line.It 13 Row au Amsricau Company, called the Chicago and Grand Trunk, Ite total capital is £1,240,000 in first mortgage ; £820,000, or $4,000,000, of second or income bonds ; £1,356,000, or $6 600,000, - of ordinary stock.Naw, of those amounts the Grand Trunk hold £337,000, of firs: mortgage, which is the £310,000, cut of £322,000 ; of the ordiaary s-ock we hold £,192,000 out of £1.356 060.We are earning the money on the fi-st morgage bonds as present.Oa the income bonds we shall po doubt before long earn the interest also, and I hope before many years are over we shall have a very goad dividend upon that ordinary stock of which we hold 21,192,- 000 \u2014nearly the whole of it, Of the remaining securities of that line, £220,000 have to be issued of the firat morigaga to existing sectional bond and stockholders, and £300,000 of the income bonds, because, as you know, we went in as partners with the previous proprietors of certain sactioas.But we have still available for fature use, besides what is given to them and what is held by the Grand Trunk, £183,000 of the first merigage which we can 183ue for future use, and £222 000 of the incoms bonds.So that we have done this: at a time of extreme depression we nave added to the Grand Trunk system 330 miles of line, which will have several advantages for us.That line will place us in a perfectly independ + ent position in Chicago, aud enable us to make our own rates and control our own traffic from that important eentre ; it wi also enable us to connect with the North= West, from which we may expect in the not distant future à very large amount of traffic ; and not only so, gentiemen, but in acquiring that iine at a very cheap rate we have mids a most valuable investment.We have bought an improving property.Wo have bought a property which will, in addition to giviug us a stabls position at the sources of traffi:, bring us ina very large revenue to help to increase the receipts of the Grand Trunk.Well now, gentlemen, I am afraid I have given you too many figures already, but there is one set oË figures that ! must give you in coa= clusion, which I am sure will gratify you more than any that I have had the pleasure otf laying before you.They are the figures for the working of the month of March, which \u201cwe awe receivitd- by cable from America.Tha gross receipts for the month of Ma ca were in 1880 £180,000; in 1879, £143,000, showing an increase of £37,000.The working expanses wore £131,000 in 1880, as against £119,000 in 1879, showing an increase of working expenses of £2,000, against an increase of gross receipts of £37,000.Therefore, gentlemen, the net rroiit for the month of March has been £59,000 in 1880, against £24,000 for that month.You will like, I dare sy, that I should add that to the working for the previous two months.so as to show you what the result of oir working has been in the fir-t half of the present half year.\u2018Ihe grces receipts for these three months in 1880 were £496,000, against £443,000 in 1879, showing a gross increase of £62000.The working expenses wera 4353,000 ia 1880, against £354,000 in 1879, showing a decrease of working expenses of £1,000, against an i1crea: @ of gross receipts of £62,000, so that the net profit has beeu £143,000 for these three months in 1880 aga:.nst £30,000 in 1879, or an increased net profs for the thr:e months of £63,000.My friend on the right asks ma to refer here to what has been a subjact of misunderstanding amongst some of the proprietors.Lhey fancy the inerease of receipts which we have lately received, has been dw: to our adding the receipts of the Chicago and Grand Trurk to the receipts of the Grand Trunk.Now, that is not the case.I received a letter from a gentleman the other day, who told us it was wrong of us to delude the public as we had been doing into the belief that we wero getting large receipts on the Grand Trunk, when he knew very well we were adding the receipts of tho Chicago and Grand Trunk to make up the amount.I was happy to write back to him and tell him that the public were right and he was in error, and that he would be glad to learn that the receipts of the Grand Truok proper had not been gained by the addition of any receipts from the Cnicago and Grand Trunk.It is very gratifying to wus to se our eecuritice assuming something more like the proportions they ought to assume.I was totting up yesterday what the iucrease has been, and the figures are really somewhat astounding, because I find you, gentlemen, who are the proprietors of the line are mow in the satisfactory position of being A} millions sterling richer than you Were this time six monthe, when I had the pleasure of meeting you, and that the increased value of our securities during the past twelve months has not been less than somewhere about 8 millions sterling.There is one point upon which I find some proprietors are a little alarmed, and that is with regard to a Bill which has been lately introduced into the American Congress, called Mr.Hurd\u2019s Bill.That Bill is intended to provide that the American traffic should not be taken through any part of Canada.Now, gentlemen, I beg yon not to b in any way alarmed on that subjsct.We have heard of the origin of that Bill ; we have heard of it for some time.We heard that they were getting it up and were going to introduce it.It was drafted, we are told, by a director of the Canadian Southern, and it is stated to have been done for the purpose of stock speculation.Whe her he wanted to run down his own stock and buy it cheap, I do not know ; but they may as well expect to carry a Bill to prevent American grain and manufactures from being loaded ia British shipa on the coast, or brought to British shores, as expect Congress to pass a Bill to prevent the free running of trains through Canada or any other part of the continent of America.I tnink, in conclusion, that I really ought to thank one gentleman who has been sometimes considered a3 our greatest opponent, for weare not indebted to anybody 50 much as wo are to Mr.Vanderbilt for the cheap rate at which we have accepted this valuable property, the Chicago and Grand Trunk.You see, gentlemen, we do not here profess to be clever, or to be good at diplomacy; we are perfectly plain, straightforward people.All we do claim is that when we take up a course, which we believe to be a right course and a wise course, wo will stick to it and carry it through.I told you this time last year what we were going to do ; I vold Mr.Vanderbilt and everybody else, and we have carried it through and done it.Now, Mr.Vanderbilt assisted us in this way, that by buying the ceatral portion of that line for the purpose of cutting us off he cheapaned the two ends.He enabled us to get them at a much cheaper rate than we could have going to construct another line parallel to hisjowr, he was obliged to sell us bis own in order to avoid the loss which he would otherwise have inevitably experienced.That shows the advantage of being plain and suraightforward.We have mow got our through route, which I have told yoy doue otherwise, und finding we wera then | prcving ; immigrants are coming to us; United Statee,and a similar revival iscom- ing in Canada.I think I may conclude by saying with perfect confidence that the prospects of this undertaking are brighter than they have ever been at any previous period of ite history.I beg to move, in Vanderbilt had not purchased that line™ CE.\u201d To the Editor of the MowTREAL HERALD.SIR,\u2014 Will you oblige a Ca'holic by inserting the following = Ist.Every Catholic is bound to attend morning service on Suaday,

RAOE\u2014BOTH MEN CONFIDENT \u2014COURTNEY THE FAVOURITE, WASHINGTON, May 13.\u2014As the time for tha boat r,ce between Hanlan and Courtney approaches the interest increases, and now it is almost an absorbing topic here, Hanlan, Courtney and Riley rowed over the course, which is two-and-a-half miles down the river and return, Their presence attracted large crowds to the various available points on shore.Hanlan and Courtney both made a creditaple appearance.Courtney seemed to be'the favourite, his long, strong and easy stroke was particularly attractive, and, at times, his stroke was £0 long that his oars seemed almost to touch the stern of his boat, Courtney and Hanlan are in excellent condition, and the friends of both say they will do the prettiest rowing on May 19.h on the Potomac that was ever done here.Courtney says he i, ready for the fray, and all reports to the effect that this cii.rate docs not suit him are without foundation.He cxpresses approval of the course, and says that, for a crooked cne, it is as good as could be expected.* Have you fully made up your mind to row Hanlau?\u201d asked your correspondent, % Yes, that is what I came here for.Iam here entirely for bu-incss and not pleasure.\u201d With Courtney are several of his friends, who exj ress entire confidence in his ability to defeat Hanlan.Hanlan\u2019s friends are also sanguine and claim that he is the better man of the two.Courtney is the guest of the Potomac Boat Club, in whose bouse lis boat is secure: Hanlan is the guest of the Anulostan Boat Clab.Already numbers of porting men are on hand and aboul the places wliere that class of men congregate betting is lively, the general prete:ence being for Courtuev.The promised race, it is thought, will bring to this City large numbers of visitors, and, in anticipation of the iuflux, every preparation is being made for their réception.Along the course on the Potomac large stands are to be erected, and it is expected that ainple-accommotation will be provided for all who desire to witness the race, The strength of Courtney\u2019s boat was fully tested yesterday afternoon by its coming Im c.utact with a snag in tae river; Courtney not seeing it until be was within a few inches of the obstruction, used his frail oars to advantage and succeeded in breaking thé enag before it had any serious effect on the boat.This

AFFAIRS THE MOORE INVESTIGATION.A special meeting of the Market Committee was ht ld yesterday afiernoon for the purpose of continuing the \u2018Moore investigation.Ald, Ho'- land occupied the clair, and there was also present Ald.Allard, Lavigne, Gauthier, Fairba'rn, NMooney and Kennedy.\u201c THE CHAIRMAN AND THE \u2018\u2018 HERALD.\u201d Previous to taking any evidenc2, The Chairman said I want to draw the atten- tion of the Committee to an articie in the HERALD of Monday the 2rd instant, It 1s a very one- sided one, and accused the Chalrman of trylng to burke the investigation.Whatever fauits may have as an Alderman, I have never been ylity of bulking any enquiry into the conduct of apy official.Tbere has been an avowed intention by the pariles bringing these charges to oust Mr.Moore, and I'appeal to any impartial man if it was not my duty to give him the protection in eaquete which I have done.1 have done no more than that protection and have not been influeuced by him.i iiope the the reporters will take a note, as I feel it to ba very unfair that articie.Iti8 a very strong ex-parte statement.The first witness was Louis Rolland, a butcher at the corner of Willian and Murray streets, but he had scarcely been sworn before.A SCENE OCCURRED between te Cbalrman and some of tlie members of the Committee.Aid.Lavigne proposed the admission of Mr.Benallack to the Committee rucm during the \u20ac ns *cnatrman ruled that he be not admitted except as a witless.Ald.Lavigne replied he was not a witness, but was one of the accusers.The Chairman considered the motion out oforder.They must move for a reconsideration first.Ald.Allard did not care Low the Committee worked the enquete, beither did le cire if the Chairman ruled the motion out of order or not.He had just complained of a little piece in one of the papers but, accordirg to his ruling, the article was based on facts.; The Chairman replied that was the Alderman\u201ds opinion.Ald.Allard maintained that when the press was admitted the public was admitted, and if any one had a rigut to be there it was the compiainant.He couid not see the necessity of a vote on the question, Ths Chairman replied that Mr, Benallack was the prosccutor, and his name was fius Lhere.Aid Allard asked if he had not signed the -) petition ?The Chairman replied that was so.He con- tinned, ihe Committee agreeu to allow Mr.CruicK hanK to attend, but the Clerk would tell them that the public was not to be admitted any turther than by the press.It was decided tuat Mr, Cruickshanks should be admitted, If the Committee wished to reconsider and overrule the Chairman, all very well, vu Mr.Cruickshank sald Mr.Benallack would not open his mouth, The Chairman observed i$ Was a move to get Mr.Benaliack into he roo.Ald.Allard could not see why they sho\u201cld have tovoteonit?It did not xeem as it the chairman was doing no mo eth nto rrot ct M oe.If anyo ehad done anything to persecute Moore Le would have stood up with she Chairman for him.\u2018The Chairman siid it Was because Mr.Moore had peen a good servant In the di-charye of his duty that Mr.Beuallack had employed counsel, who was there representing him.Ald.Allard would think by whar they had seen Mr.Beuallack hid teen prompted by good motives in maki g that enquiry, ° « The Clhalrman su 'gesied that the Committee sh uid wait and hear the other side, Ald.Allard said that was what he wanted.He did not though know of any hing in the original motion which required them to vote on the destin.Everytime the Committee had Let they had lost time by such discussions.The Ch-irmin did not ling the question ought to be asked.Ald.Allard thought the Chairman had à very nice way of getting «ut of a bad place.Ald.Kennedy said th t Ald.Allard ard the Chairman were just gaptre ateuch other when they ought to be doing business Ald.Aulasd replied that things must be done in a proper manner.Ald.Ken edy was of opinio\u201d they ehnuld de 80, but Ald Allard d!d not seem to look like it.Ald.Ailard said Mr.Benallack was one of the signatories, and Le did not think it fair to keep him out ofgthe room.Ald.Kennedy sup;osed al the four s'g- natortes might come.Ald.A:lard would not plead far Mr, Benallack, but he sald that he would like to know, as he had to pay him, it Mr.Cruickshank wss doing hisduty ?There was nothing in the original motion wh'ch was in tue way.It wasall very well to propo:e oneself as ad°fender, but facts would tell, and they would speak pretty loud, but tue thing would have to come tn broad daylight, and th -n the public would see who wan: ed to pers \u2018cute and who wanted to whitewash, He had always satd give any official a fair trial and don\u2019t let him be abused or persecuted, and, ita m n did hig duty, all right, but 1f not, let them dismisshin, T e Chalrman was representative of the public, but not to miintain such as will 11 -treat the public.: The Chairman replted that was the position he 00K.Ald.Allard did not think they were thera do ng so.The Chairman replied that h~ knew Mr, Allard was prejudic:d, and he would take his views for What they were worth.Ald.Allard responded that he would try in another place where there would be 1ght.The Chatrman said 11 he had acted with the public feeling Ald.Allard spoke of, Moore would Lave been discharged without any iuvestiga- ii n.T e Chairman hen riled that the motion was out of orde , but, on being pressed tu do so, took .& vote ard the mo:ton carr ed.The examination of Louis Rolland was then proceeded with.He sald on one occasion he went to the Clty Hall to enquire as to a shop, and was told it was all reht, but Mr.Moore would not give him a certilicite.He had then taken the premises for,two years, and it was found it was witain the radius.He paid Moore $40 tO be allow=d 10 carry on throvgh the year as he had the sho; on his hands, and the house wag refused him, He also gave him $10 not to rosecute 8 man named Beaudoln, a grocer, who ad been selling meat without a license.Moore never a-ked him for money, but he thought he deserved It B-njamin Lamb was next called, but he had nothing to say.Horinidas Quenneville being examined, said he never gave Moore any money, but he had offered mo-ey to bin and he would not accept it.Mr.Cruikshank who was watching tha case for thelnforinants, was no:iced

Mr, Mr.Andrew R>bertaon\u2019s explanations on the subject of ¢ Montreal a Free Port.\u201d :\u2014 GENTLEMEN,\u2014It has been customary that all the statements made by the Chairman have been submitted to the Board befcro being delivered to the general publie.How this custom was introduced, cr what purpose it was intended to serve, I do not profess to know.I have, however, followed strictly the same rule up to this point, but on the present occasion I intend, with your leave, to ask your indulgence in \u2018what I am now going to eay,and that I personally accept the entire responsibility therefor.It is my intention to reply to the varied statements which have lately been made in connection with the Trust, by individuals and through the press.Let me first refer to the question and meaniug of what bas been termed A FREE PORT.I have been criticised for asking that tke term \u201c Free Port\u201d should be defined.My object in doing so at the meeting of the Board of Trade was not to put any ob- structicn in the way of the port becoming free, but that it was causing conflicting ideas in the minds of many peopls.A free port has been stated by some to be a free port for ships\u2014that is tosay, ships are not to pzy tonnage dues.Others maintain that o free port means no dues on ships or their cargoes, but everything to pass free.The HzRarp says :\u2014* Mr.Esdaile properly expressed his surprise at the inaction of the Board.\u201d Iaccept this as per- somal to myself, because, as Chairman, I am no doubt expected to see that the work is properly attended to.In order, therefore, to show whatfhas been done, allow me to refer back to the date of my ap pointment, at the end of June last.When the late Chairman, Mr.Cramp, was superseded, he mentioned that there were three important subjects lefs for me to deal with, viz., the Grand Trunk Railway track on the wharves, the Q, M.& Oright of way to Quebec Gate Barracks, and the allowance to Mrs.Young.The last question bas been settled, ag I believe, -satisfac\u2019orily to those more immediately interested,\u2018and I am glad to say that the Government of the day were mag- nanimeus enough after Mr.Young\u2019s death to recogniee the services of probably one of the strongest opponents they exer had.The Joly Administration fell, and consequently, for the time bring, settled the Q., M.& O.questien ; while the Grand Trunk question is receiving my most anxious cousideration, and is in a fuir way of solution.Mæ.CRAMP says, in a letter to the HkRra1» of 3rd instant, that last year\u2019s Bill was sufficient to enable us to reduce the dues on sailing ships, I wag of the :ame opinion, but our Counsel thought we could not abolish the tonnage dues, therefore the clause granting power to abolish tomnage dues was inserted, in order that there might be no mistake, oo In connection with the r duction of the tariff, tha Board have been charged by the HerALD for insincerity in the follow- ingstatement:\u2014 \u201cItis stated that their most recent act proves comclusively their insincerity.They adopted a tariff to take effect on 1st April, which was passed by Order-ia- Council oa the 19.h April, and in place of reducing the dues on the pumber of articles taxed, the lisi has been increased by some 46 ; all this had beén work prier to the professions of the Harbour Commissioners, to assist the deputation in bringing abort so much needed a reform.We publish two letters this morning on this important subject ; one disposes of the plea that we require legislation \u2014(Mr.Cramp\u2019s)\u2014the other insinuating what we charge, that the Board of T:ale and Corn Exchange have been hood-winked.\u201d\u2014(Mr.Henshaw\u2019s.) No greater misstatement could have been made than the foregoing.The preparation of this tariff was commenced in November last, and was before the Commissioners for months.It was sent to the Governor inm-Council for approval on the 28rd day of March, and was vnly reccived completed on the 29th April, under cover of 28th, from O:tawa.Mr.Cramp, in a letter to the Garelte on the 5th instant, criticizing an article of theirs of the previous day, of which I was entirely ignorant till it appeared, meun- tions his appeal to Sir Charles Tupper for the assumption of the debt, 80 as to be able to reduce the duee, and takes credit for having presented \u2018 the only official ap- poal yet addressed by any Harbour Commissioners to the present Government, is that whicù was presented by me on behalf of my colleagues and myself.\u201d As you are sll aware, $'r Charles Tupper was ai one time Minister of Pubiic Works, including railways amd canals.At the time of my appointment he went to England, und on his return I mentioned, the very first time I was in Ottawa, in October last, that the Harbour Commissioners would soon b: making a demand on him for the assumption of the debt, but in conversation he stated that the time had not yet arrived, that, even were they willing to do it, the state of the finunces of the country were still such as would prevent its being likely of accomplishment for some time.He at the same time mentioned Mr, Cramp and Mr.McLennan had seen bim about six months previously on the subject,and that they had presented an appeal, which I then heard for the first time.I asked hum for a copy, which was afterwards obtained, and is a document which deserves the highest praise, and which I cheerfully accord to Mr.Cramp and his co Commissioners.This statement Idid not think nec -ssary to repeat, but accepted the same as & de- liverancs of \u2018he Board in whict I entirely eoncurred, and which deserved and has obtained my warmest support, as well as that of every one of my co-Cemmissioners.Mr.Cramp forther writes :\u2014 As the result of this appeal, Sir Charles Tupper told us that he fully recognized the contention that the reduction of dues had become a necessity in order to attract io- creaged trade, and he agreed to the legislation asked, which is mow on the Statute Book, 42 Vie, chop.28, by which provision is made to legalizs such reduction.I say, further, that the pressure of Lake St.Pater interest was only then beginning to be seriously felt, and it would have been unwise to yo before any Governmest for its immediate assumption as the case had previously stc dd.\u201d Let me ask \u201cwhy he did not go in 1878 more readily than in 1879?When Mr.Cramp eutered office in 1874 the surplus for that year was $161,940 ; in 1875, $101,~ 780 ; 1876, $25,695; in 1877 the lowes J Gasnriez CEURCH.\u2014 Rev, James |.reached in the decade, $18,881; and in 1878, $24,299.It seems to me that the situation was even more alarming in 1878 than in 1879, credit if be had presented the document to the horcurable gentleman who had go far given.bis approval, and who was 80 much stronger 1b office that he was at the time not only Minister of Public Works, but also the Prime Minister of the Dominion, H-n.Alexander Macker sie.In view of the agitation which this aab- jeot has caased within the last month, ib 18 refreshing to find such anxiety on the part of Mr.Cramp, now that he has no responsibility, to agitate for a reduction of the duce.In the interview he kad with Sir Charles Tupper, in March, 1879, as re~ lated by himself at the meeting of the Board of \u2018Trade, held in January last, when he, \u201caccompanied by Mr.McLennan and the City members, the whole question was gone into very fully and a3 much evi- deuce brought to bear that the charges must be reduced, they asked for permis- gion to introduce a Biil to reduce thew, aud they went boldly into the matter.\u201d The Bill for this purpose was introduced ard passed ; what was the result?where the boldness ?what reduct.ons were proposed ?none.The Bill waa safely stowed away in the pigeon-hoie\u2014why so?Because, as Mr.Cramp, almoss in the same breath, says, \u2018 That they could not reduce their dues and meet their obligations, unless the Channel was assumed by the Government.Until then they could not reduce charges, and it would be foolish to expect a large increase of trade.\u201d .With this statement, that until the Government would assume the Channel debt, no reduction could be made; and Mr.Cramp knowing the fact that any reduction which may be proposed by the Harbour Board must be assented to by the Governor-iu-Council before it can be ratified, atks me for a bold policy ; and the HEegALD, with its * nod of assent from Sir Charles Tupper,\u201d seems to thick because of public clamour that I am able to do exactly as they wish, or as 1 please.B HE AGE OF MIRACLES is past, and Dr.Pierce\u2019s Golden Medical discovery wifl not raise the dead, will not cure you if your lungs are half wasted by consumption, or your system sinking under cancerous disease.It is, however, unsurpassed both as a pectoral and alterative, and will cure obstinate apd severe disease of the throat acd lungs, coughs, and bronchial affections.By virtue of ite wonderful alterative properties it cleanses and enriches the Flood, thus curing pimples, blotches, and eruptions, and causing even Preat eating ulcers to heal.Sold by d uggists.Tae Voutaic Brur Co, MARSHALL, M:cH., will send their celebrated Electro- Voitaie Belts te the afflicted npon 30 days trial.Speedy cures guaranteed.\u2018J'hey mean what they say.Write tothern win.out delay.BW ErPa\u2019s Cocoa \u2014GRATEFUL AND COMFORT iNg\u2014 By a thorough knowledge of the natural laws which govern the operations of digestion and nutrition, and by a careful application of the fine properties of well- selected cocoa, Mr.Epps has provided our breakfast tables with a delicately flavoured beverage which may save us many heavy doctors\u2019 bills.It is by the judicious use of such articles of diet that a constitution may be gradually built up until strong enough to resist every tendency to disease.Hundreds of subtle maladies are fioatirg around us ready to attack wherever there ig a weak point.We may escape many a fatal shaft by keeping ourselves well forts.fied with pure lood and a properly nor ished frame.\u201d \u2014Civil Service Gazeite.~Scld only in packets labelled\u2014 Jauxe kre & Co, Homœopathic Chemists, Lomd:'j Wnglszd.\u201d Rovember a P Steamship Iotises, : EAVER LINE.GANADA SHIPPING COMP\u201dY.Running in connection with the GRAND TRUNK RAILWAY OF CANADA Tons.Lake Manitoba.3,300 building Lake Winnipeg.3,300 Capt.W.Bernson Lake Nepigon.2,330 Capt.G.B.Scott Lake Champlain.2,3%0 Capt.W.Stewart The steamers of this Line will sail from MONTREAL FOR LIVERPOOL as fol- ows:\u2014 LAKE WINNIPEG.\u2026.ssorences LAKE CHAMPLAIN.LAKE NEPIGON.\u2026 Lake WINNIPEG.June 17 Rates of Passage from Montreal to Lieerpool;

en Thureday at the City Termisus Hotel ; Bir H.W.Tyrer, M.P, in the chair.- The CHAIRMAN said\u2014G=:ntlemen, when we tagt met in this room, six months ago, I ventured to state to you that I thought that this undertaking was taking am upward directions, we were on the way towards improvemeat, ard I think that what has happened in the interim has tended te confirm the truth of what I then stated.You have all received uw copy of this half- yearly report, which we way, I presume, take as read ; and I will now proceed to will have seen by 1t that the gross receipts upon the uudertaking for the half-year ending 31st D :camber,1879, were 2978,202, and that that was an increase npon the correapondiog haif-year of £64,168.Now that increase would have been much larger but for two circumstances.First, it is ecm- pared with a half-year in which we eazmed 219,550 on the Riviere du Loup branch, and we also lost during the present half-year cattle traffic to the extent of £35767; therefore, but for those two circumestances our increass would have been 245.600 greater than it was.Now, that gross increase of £34,168 was mostly in freight trafic, and you ali know that freight trains sre more cxpensive to work than passenger trains.Although the tonnag- was greater, and & @res'er proportion of freight trains were run, the working -expenses were reduced to 72 87 per cent.as against 76 70 for the Decemb:r half of 1878, and I think that 18 à mater of satisfaction to all of us.Deduct.ng those working expenses, which amounted to £712,807, from the total of £978,202, and adding the interest on the International Bridge capital, we made a result of 8277,- 231, giving a net increase upon the last half year cf 1878 of £52,431.The net ree salt of £277,000 is the largest that has baen earned in any half-year in the history of this :nderteking.Following the third page of the repert you will see that there are still a mumber of items outstanding, which we eal pre-preferences.We have re- ducad those lo toma extent, as you will see at page 25, whe;6 you will find \u2018\u2018preforent al charges scheduled in the D:benture Stock Act, 1874.purchasal or redesmed by the issue of debemturs stock.\u201d We shall be able in the course of the next few years, under the Debenture Stock Act of 1874, to redeem nearly all of these prior charges.Our securities have nowarrivedat that peint that it will be highly beneficial to us te do so, and we sha'l iose no opportunity from time to time of redeeming these pre-preference securiti-s, and you will be h:ppy to heur that the net result to this Company will be, when we have accomplished that object, a gain of between £20000 ond £25,000 a year.We shall thus siwp'ify our accounts ; we shall reduce the interest to that amount, which is all practically net profit to ns\u20142£25,000 make a few observations upon it Tou: 2.saya\u2014* This state of affairs, taken ia conneetion with the notice of the Pennsylvania, resulted in the \u201cdisgraceful contest, during which property was transferred from the far west to the seaboard at rates inaufficient to pay the cost of terminal expenses incurred at the delivery station.\u201d Not only \u2018insufficient to pay the ccat of casriage along the line, but insufficient to pay the cost of terminal charges at the end.Ia fact, a large amount of traffic was abaolutely moved for nothing.\u2018That is the state of things wo have had to contend with during a portion of the past kal£- year.I think, considering the low rates which hava prevailed, and the difficulties our cflicers have had to work against, that they have done themselves great credir, aud bave done justice to us ic working the line az the rate of 72 pee cent.upon she working expanses.As I have before explained, the rate cf working cxpanszs does not depend upon the cost at which traffic is conveyed ; there is an amount of money which must be spank in propery œain- taining the line, and there is an amount of money which must be expsnded in the acutal cost of conveying traffic, and when the rates ars no higher, to put it at that point oaly, than traffic, then we cannot work excapt at 100 per cent.But if the rates ara double the actual cst of maintenance amd conves- anoe, then we can work at 50 per C:nt,; but, considering the very low rates that bave provailed for so large a part of the half year, I think our officers deasrve credit for what they have done.I hold in my hand three tables, which give ua at a glanee the whole of our operations fur the half-year.I know that there are many Chairmen and officers of Kailway Companies who are afraid to let the shareholders know too minutely what they are doing.[am not one of tnose ; I am not afraid of telling anything ; I am always anxious to Le perfectly open with you, and if anybody in the meeting, or out of it, can tell us how we can improve matters in any way we shall be the very first to take advantage of their suggestions.I have here the statis- ticg of the freight mileage for the December half of each year from 1872 to 1879, and they are made out upon a principle whieh is not adopted ia this country.I wish it could be 60, b:cause it would enable fair comparisons to bs made batween one Riilway aud another.In this country statistics of Railways are o:zly made ous so as to afford comparison between the traia mileage of one line and the train m:leage of another.That does not afford à fair meaus of comparison, and when you come to compare the working of one line with the working of another you will find discrepancies that it is quite impossible to acccunt for.I had to go through this process myself in thé Guvernment service for several years, and I know how excessively misleading the results.are.On the Grand Trunk we adopt a very much better principle.Wa make cut oar statistise with refereuce to the actual work performed per ton per mile a year we will say\u2014and wa shall avoid the risk which always comes more or less upon Companies of this description in having to redeem at som?inconvenient moment the sums which fall due to be paid, for it almoss always does happen when large sums are falling due at particular period, that those periods are inconvenient to the Company.This'ia the result of the half-year\u2019s working, and we\" have been able to pay you ulready\u2014and it is rather anomalous in this Company that we always pay before the meeting ; I do not know whether we think we can claim emiling fac:s on that account, you having been paid already ; but we always pay before the meeting, and we have already paid you the balance naime- ly, £64,200\u2014which leaves £1440 to ba carried to the next half-year's account.As regards the cost of working the railway, you will see at page 5, we ex~ nded on ¢ way, stations and buildings,\u201d in 1879, £151,975.and in 1878, £171,933, on the maintenance and renewals of the road and structures, which was £19,000 less than in 1878.That is principally on account of our ceasing to work the Riviere du Loup branch, but the road has been: maintained in a complete atato of efficiency at a less cost than before.As regards engines and workshops, you will see we have spent £4,000 more in this half-year \u2018han the corresponding half-year, The reason of that ie, we have been cirrying more tonnage, doing more work, and therefore obliged to spend wore in repairing engines.But we have dope somethi-g more than that.When engines came in for heavy repairs we have been converting them into coal-burning engines, and that will be a source of economy to us in the fu\u2018ure.You allknow the disadvantage of burning wood.A+ firat we used \u2018o burn wood almost over the whole of the Grand Trunk, but by degrees we have coms to burn coal, and we avoid loss by fire, loss by pilfering, and lose Ly stacking wcod fr long periods.We can obtain our supply of coal as we want it, and so the advantage of substituting coal for wood over nearly the whole systew, which we hope to do in time, will be very great.It has also cost us more for fuel, and for the reason I have already mentioned, that we hauled a large proportion of the increase of trafic in freight trains.It costs a great deal more to haul a heavy freight train with 400 tops behind the engine than it does a comparatively light passenger train, and for that reason we have consumed more fuel than in the corresponding half-year.For the same reason the expenses of the traffic depar:ment have increased to some extent, but in spite of all that you will be glad to see the percentage under those heads to gross receipts was 43°59 in 1879, as against 44°09 in 1878, which is a decrease upon the whole of \u201850, I am sorry to eay the Canadian Government have lately added 10 cents per ton to the duty upon coal imported into Canada.I -eannot conceive the system or the justice of such an arrangement.The industries of Canada requiring coal, and the p:opls of Canada in such & climate during winter requiring fuel, one would have thought the object of a paternal and wise Government would have been to allow them to have that coal as cheaply as they could get it.We must not, however, complain ; the utmost damage to us ia the duty of 10 cents upon 110,000 tous of coal cf 2,000 ib; each, or, say, £2,26).Referriug to Mr Hannaford\u2019s report you will observe that we have now 1,131$ miles of steel rails in the track.We keep adding 30 or 40 miles every year, and the economy of doing so must be obvious to you all; it costs a great deul less for maintenance, and we hope to add steel rails to the branches, and then to the sidings.As they become half-worn out in tbe mein line we propose to transfer them to the sidings, and so by degrers we shall get the whole line laid with stecl raile.Now I come to a subject which is the most impertant of all the subjects I -| have to mention to you, and tbat is the subject of rates, The rates during the past half-year have been such as the railways of this country could not live upon under any circumstances.On 2ad June they were only 10 cents per 160 lb.from Chicago to New York, which is coneiderably below the netéal cost of carriage.On 19th June they were 1§ cents ; on 23rd June they were 20 cents; on 4th August they rose to 25; on the 25th they rose to 30 ; en 13th October to 85 cents, and it was only on 10th Novembet that they were advanced to 40 cents, which is a fair and reasonable rate, and they continued to the end of the year at that rate.But it was not only that those low rates prevailed, but that they even werd not maintained, and we bave had a great deal of correspondence with the American Railways -on that subject from time to time.J like to give credit where credit is due.Whilst other Companies were competing in a wild way with one another, the officers of the Baltimore and Ohio Company were acting with our cfficers in Canada and doing their best to get the rates put on a proper footing.The average rate we thus obtained during the half-year was just about the same asin the preceding half year\u2014viz., .69 of a cent on'n ton per mile, a very little over one- third of a penny per ton per mile.Mr.King, the deputy Chairman of the Baltimore and Ohio, writes to Mr.Seargeant on this subject :\u2014*' I was surprised by this information.I eould not believe the Northern lines would make an advance in rates to 15 cents and 20 cents on June 9th, and en the 23rd another advance of 20 to 25 cents, and seriously consider ano-her advance to 25 and 30 cents when they were taking freight in large quantities at 94 cents to Baltimore and 10 cents to Now York.\u201d Utufortunately, when they meet in America and make agreements to advance rates for traffic, it always happens that certain Companies bave con- trac:ed for spme time in advance at alow Tate, and they gosn working these contracte, and then they meet again to make further agreements, they always fad again that \u2018 fur*ber contracts have been made.That jis sopstantly the difficulty.Mr.King an EE AE and per passenger per mile, and it is the result of that mode of stating the account I now hold in my hand, and which I should like to explain to you.The number of tous carried one mile in the December half of 1872 was 221,955,670, and it has been increasing ever since in round numbers up to 238,000,000 in 1873, to 332,000,000 in 1874, to 342,000,000 in 1875, 377,090,G00 in 1876, 435,000,000 in 1877, 394,000,000 in 1878, and 473 000,000 in 1879 So that the traffic in 1879, as eompared with 1872, bas increased from 221,000,000 up to 473,030,- 000 ton-miles.I have often heard it stated that the Grand Trunk never can do any good\u2014thera is ho traffic in the country, I tell you we are carrying an enormous traffic ; it 13 not the traffic that we want, but it is the remuneration for conveying it.That tcaffic was carried in cary hauled oue mile numbering 38,000000 in 1872, increased to 74,000,000 in 1877, reduced \u2018again to 69,000,600 in 1879, and that shows you that we are doing more werk with our cars.Or, to put it more clearly in another form, whereas every car carried per wile 6-69 in 1872 every car carried per mile 6 87 tons in 1879, and that, I may tell you, is something like three or four times as much as is done on the average in this country.Considering the low rates at whici we work, we could not live at all unless we carried full trgin loads.All our trains are fully loaded running east, though they are nut, uatforiuna\u2018ely, so fully ioaded running west.\u2018The average receipts per ton per mile fell in consequence of the reduced rates frsm Dacember, 1872, when they were 1:38 cents per ton er mile, to \u201869 of a ¢.nt in 1879, and the all bas been pretty gradual), except in 1878, when it was higher than in 1872, and wag 1'4% of a cent por ton per mile.In 1872 aud 1873 the rate per ton pec mile whish we received from our traffic was thus double what it had been during the past balf year ; and if we could have got for the work we did during the past half- year the rate which we received in 1872° and 1873, I am afraid to tell you what the result would be mpen this undertaking in the way of payment upon our stocks.Another important point isthe dead weight of cars, taking them at ten tous each to one tou of freight.Every car weighs about ten tous, A large proportion of them are box cars runcing each on two bogie-tracks, or eight wheels.The dead weight was in 1873 1-98 tons to ome ton of freight, We have reduced that, Ll am happy to say, to 146 tons, and we are continuaily striving to reduce it by building cars which will cury more net weight in proportion to their own weight, During.the half-year wa carried, of course, as yê always do, a large proportion of tonnage for the Company's own purposes.That is not included in the statement I have given you.The proportion of itis gbout 13} million ton- miles to the total 473 millions, and the alteration which it makes is that it shows the average number of tons carried per car per mile to be seven tons and à littis over, band the dead weight of cars to by 1-42 tons to the ton of freight.Thoss are tha statistics of our freight traffic.The statistics of passenger traffic are not so interesting, and there.is comparatively little variation in them as between one year and guother.The greatést number of passengers emrried one mile was in 1876 and 1874, was upwards of 74,- 000,000; in 1872 it was 70,000,000; and in 1879, 74,000,000.That passenger traffic would, no deubt, have considerably increased but for the very serious state of depression in which the United States and the Dominion have been during the past few years.Now that botter times are dawning upon them, now that there is al ready a great improvement ia tha United States, and that there is a very much better feeling in Canada, I have no doubt that we shall derive benefit from an in- creasg of pagsunger traffic in both countries, and that will be nearly all net profs to us; beçauge our trains will be better filled without cur being obliged to put on extra trains to any great extents for the accommodation of such traffic.The number of passengers per cir per mile has not varied much; it is now 107$.The average dead weight per passenger is 1°69 tona, rather mare than one and a balf tons p:r passenger.I wish we could reduce tbat amount, and we shall do so when we get our trains bete ter filled.The average distance travelled by each piesenger will be interesting to you.Of course it is very much greater than the average distance travelled ia this country\u2014it is abeut 67} miles.Imay me :- tion to you one fuazurs of interest, and that is, the ircrease of our west.bound traffic.It Amouated in this half-year to 31-70 per cent, nearly one-third of the whole, against 27-88 for the corresponding baif-yesr of 1878.The total freight car miles being, in round figures, about 69,000,000, and all cara going eastward, as I have told you, being fully loaded, or carrying rather more than ten tons, then there would be about 34,500,000 of west-bound car mileage, aud the total tons moved westward would be 125,000,000, or 3.62 tons per car.For the half years of 1876-7-8-9 the figures show a most gratifying increase in our west-bound traffic, .which traffis we want to increase more than the enst-bourd, because we want our cars to be loaded both ways.The increase is frem 66,000,000 in 1876 to 80,000,000 ia 1878, and to 125,000,000 in 1879.There ig another good prospect opening upon us, and that is a great increase in our immigrant trafic.You will have seen lately by the published accounts that the immigrants, not only from England and Ire- lund, but Sweden and other countries, are all swarming into the States in snch quantities that they cannot iad room for them on their errival ; they are obliged to forward them on as fast as they come, in order to make room for others, und that is held out to us in Canada as a source of increase in our paesenger traffic, which we may look for in the coming few months.From a report of the Minister of Agriculture, wo ficd there were 61,000 immigrants in 1879, against 40,000 in 1878, 85,000 in 1877, and 99,000 in 1873, and we believe that that number will be largely increased.As re.the amount that is required to carry the : iioiens 0R FE t.des D de la Guuren2® .\u201dm .wv-any NA al?.or.0g a edt il \u2014\u2014 np pou gards the imprerremen Foffon?Tpoal

respec!s an advénbage to ts eather than otherwise, while others will not burt usmuch.Theysdédallygothrough country where there is little to be.had ;.at ail events it is better to look these things in the face.As regards (be dompetition between Ottawa dnd\u2019 , oar total traffic botwayæ/ thoge place 1877 gave us £5,800 ; in 1878 it\u201d\"wa® 23-300 Sand in cousequenca of the competition of the direct line Lketween these points it was reduced to ÆA2400 in the half- year of 1879.Do that, after all that has been said and done, the utmost loss upon that is £4400 in a half-year, which we shall more than make up in other ways.Then, as regards the direct liae between Quebecc and Montreal], all we made out of that in 1876 was £3600 for traffic in both directions, in 1877 £3,000, in 1878 £3,000, and in 1879 £2000.There is à lusa of £1,600 for the half-year to us in traffic, and deducting the working ex- ponses,I do not think that will hurt us very much either.The earnings to aud from the Iatercolonial have also fallen off.The total of passengers and freight in 1878 was $253,000, and in 1879 $217,000 ; therefore, we lost upou that 27,200 during the half-year.We have not yet begnn to see much improvement in the trade of Canada.To illustrate the depression that has taken place I will trouble you with soma figures showing the total value of importe and exports between 1867-8 and 1878-9.In 1867-8 the total imports were $73,000,000, which ineressed up to $128,000,000 in 1874, and have gradually failen year after year down to 1879 to $81,003,000.The total exporta ia the same way increased from 1868, when they were $57,000,000, up to $s9,000,000 in 1873, aud then tkey fell away greatly year by year, almost every year showing a decrease, to $71,007,000 lia 1879.That shows you tbat Canada has been evan to the end of 1879 going always downwards, and how mueh we Lava to expect again when the increase returns, as it certainly will come in the course of the next few years.I am sorry tosay I have not much to report to you in a way that will saticfy you with regard to the Groat Western, During the half-year they have still besa veering about from one ally to the other\u2014what they call their American allies\u2014and they do not lose opportunities of doing harm to us.The Great Western and Grand Trunk general freight agents have, however, recently met, and have made an agreement for traffic from Ontario to New York, Montreal, and Quebec, and I hops the tariffs they have agreed upon will bo maintained, and will become the basis for future divisions.Unfortunately, they do not always play fiir as regards traffic.I had occasion at the last meeting, in reply to some attacks that were made upon us, toshow you some of the circulars they allowed to bo issued, in which they did not speak very nic-ly of us\u2019; and I observe Colonel Grey, in his recent speech, says:\u2014\u201cI think it is quite right our (Great Western) road should be appreciated, for in the three points which the public look to in railroads to indace them to travel we show considerably in advance of others, or at any rate we equal all other roads, These three points are comfort, safety, and punctuality.Ia reference to the gemfprs,d meed not tell yon that we keep pade with our neighbors, and more than that.\u201d I did not quite understand at first gight what that meant; but here is n lettez from one of their agents which explains exactly what they meant by the expression * more than that;\u201d for Mr.Simon 8.Bowman, their town agent at Berlin in Ontario writes to a Mr.Valentine Verler, of Little G:rmany:\u2014*Dear Sir\u2014If you will buy your tickets through me, I will let you Lave them for one dollar a ticket less than the Wabash offer of $25, or for say $24, and will alo pay for supper, lodg ug, and breakfast for your whole party, and go with you personally as far as Detroit.Please let ma know if you accept this offer\u201d Ez uno disce omnes.If that is the way the Great Weatern are condocting their trafic, thea I venture tosay it is not a proper way of coa~ ducting traffic, and if any of our agents were to attemn* tn do anything of ths sort he would ba dismissel inatantly.Whether they do any more than that I am not prepared to say.I do not mike thess remarks out of any ill-nature to the Great Western.I have often stated that noth ing would give me and the Directors of this Beard greater pleasure than to join with the Great Western for the good of themselves, as Well as for the gcod of this Compwy.I have said over and over again that there 1s a saving of £200,000 a year to be made by putting these tao Companies together, We cannot precipitate that matter.We are now in a position of independence, and we can afford to wait.I do not think the Great Western can so well afford to wait, but that is their affair, and we must only wait till they come to their senses, or until the gentlemen who are at the head of their affairs are prepared to coms to us and negotiate with us on fair terms for what I am myself convinced would be for the good of both.Now I come to what Colonel Grey, the President of the Great Western, has called our will-o\u2019-the-wiep ; he talked of our folowing our will.o\u2019-the-wisp to Chicago.We have now, as you kaow, a line to Chicago, and I never think of it without thinking of it as our \u2018\u2018 will-o\u201d-the wisp\u201d line, and a very ' good ** will-o\u2019~the-wisp\u201d it is.You may remember just à year ago standing in this place I told you what we proposed to do.I have now come to say to you that we have it.Wa began, as you know, by negotiating with the Government of the Dominion for the sale of the Riviere du Loup line, and we sold it to.them for £310,000, and the old rails on the line, and I am happy to say those old rails have become more valuable since they were good enough to let us have them in.On 15th May the Governor-General gave his assent to the Bill under which the Dominiea took over that line, and on 30th June you were good enough to authorizezthe sale of that line and to confirm the act which had beem passed through the Dominion Legislature At the last half yearly meetinz I told you what we were proposing to do, and had partly done with the £310,000.We bought piece by piece the sections of what is now the Chicago and Grand Trunk.To buy the Flint and Port Huron section, the Flint and Lavsing section, the Lansing and Milton section, the Milton awd Valparaiso section, to construct the Valparaiso and Thornton section, to pay for what we had bought three years before,an entrance into Chicago, and to improve them all, has cost us altogether up to the present time £2510,- 020.We have received frop the Government £310,000; we received from the public in this country out of the money subscribed upon the - pros- spectus we = issued last autumn £470,000, making a total of £780,000.Tp to the last advica3 we had spent £510,000, and there remains to be spent £270,000.I think we have done pretty wall with the money so far.Wo shall spend a very large proportion of that £270,000 this year in putting down ateel rails, in improving the line in varieui ways, putting in extra sidings, providing extra equipment, and we mean to make that as good a line as is oa the continent, and we bope to be prepared in the course of this autumn to run through passenger traffic over it.We do not intend to begin too soon ; we mean to go on gradually, and perfect it, and make it the best through line between Chicago and the St.Clair river; aud we havo already got some advantage from the receipts from it, for we are now getting something like £85,000 or £6,000 a week of receipts, quite enough to pay interest on our bonds.We have, however, wet with some difficulties in completing the line be= tween Valparaiso and Thornton.We let the contract on 2ad September, and the contractor was bound to have it completed by thegend of the year.Bid weather came on, the price of labour and materials rose, and the contractor failed to carry out his contract.We had to take it off his hands and fiuish it ourselves, We did so AILY COMMER 6 in : MONTREAL, SATURDAY, MAY 15, 1850.will untimately be of great value to us.Well, gentlemen, the lumber trade is im- by ad February, and wi began to rua trains ag soon as ever we got the rails through, and we began to yun some trains by night while we kept on ballasting and | working by day.Bat we do not want to tarn all the traffic on to that line.We do n6t want to deprive ourselves of the valuable assiatance of the Michigan Central, We have worked for very many yesra with tha Michignu Central} and if Mrand had not tried to cut we off by purchasing the Flint and Lansigg section of the Chicago and Grand Truak line, we might have remained working with them to this mowent.We wish toremain on good terms with the Mich) Central.To give you am idea of hag we are doing as regards that traffic, I wil tell you how it ran on the week ending 30th April.The Michigan Central gave us during that weok 8,800 tous of trafffs, against 12,660 toas in the correspondièg week of 1878.We delivered to them Z432 tons, against 2,706 tons, so that we gate them almost as much as we did before.Now, for the same week the Whicagv and Grand Trank gave us 6,963 tons, against 4,190 tons for the corresponding week ; and we handed to the Chicago and Grand Trunk 2,818 tons, against 743 tons which we handel to it in the corresponding weel, so that you see, whilst wa did not very Jmuch diminish the quantity we gave to $he Michigan Cential, we were able ive a still larger quantity to the Chicago and Grand Trunk.\u2018ne traffic of that Chicago and Grand Tiunk routs (then under another name), however, fell off from 1876, when we received 95,000 tona from it, to 837,000 tons in 1878.That was in consequences of Mr.Vanderbilt's purchase of the intervening section.Now that we have got possession of it, we can gradually increase the traffic upoa it, and it will become a very raying concern, a8 I shall show you.I must tel you that the line was born on the 6:h of this month of April.On that day the diffarentace ions were allamalgamated into ous line.It 13 Row au Amsricau Company, called the Chicago and Grand Trunk, Ite total capital is £1,240,000 in first mortgage ; £820,000, or $4,000,000, of second or income bonds ; £1,356,000, or $6 600,000, - of ordinary stock.Naw, of those amounts the Grand Trunk hold £337,000, of firs: mortgage, which is the £310,000, cut of £322,000 ; of the ordiaary s-ock we hold £,192,000 out of £1.356 060.We are earning the money on the fi-st morgage bonds as present.Oa the income bonds we shall po doubt before long earn the interest also, and I hope before many years are over we shall have a very goad dividend upon that ordinary stock of which we hold 21,192,- 000 \u2014nearly the whole of it, Of the remaining securities of that line, £220,000 have to be issued of the firat morigaga to existing sectional bond and stockholders, and £300,000 of the income bonds, because, as you know, we went in as partners with the previous proprietors of certain sactioas.But we have still available for fature use, besides what is given to them and what is held by the Grand Trunk, £183,000 of the first merigage which we can 183ue for future use, and £222 000 of the incoms bonds.So that we have done this: at a time of extreme depression we nave added to the Grand Trunk system 330 miles of line, which will have several advantages for us.That line will place us in a perfectly independ + ent position in Chicago, aud enable us to make our own rates and control our own traffic from that important eentre ; it wi also enable us to connect with the North= West, from which we may expect in the not distant future à very large amount of traffic ; and not only so, gentiemen, but in acquiring that iine at a very cheap rate we have mids a most valuable investment.We have bought an improving property.Wo have bought a property which will, in addition to giviug us a stabls position at the sources of traffi:, bring us ina very large revenue to help to increase the receipts of the Grand Trunk.Well now, gentlemen, I am afraid I have given you too many figures already, but there is one set oË figures that ! must give you in coa= clusion, which I am sure will gratify you more than any that I have had the pleasure otf laying before you.They are the figures for the working of the month of March, which \u201cwe awe receivitd- by cable from America.Tha gross receipts for the month of Ma ca were in 1880 £180,000; in 1879, £143,000, showing an increase of £37,000.The working expanses wore £131,000 in 1880, as against £119,000 in 1879, showing an increase of working expenses of £2,000, against an increase of gross receipts of £37,000.Therefore, gentlemen, the net rroiit for the month of March has been £59,000 in 1880, against £24,000 for that month.You will like, I dare sy, that I should add that to the working for the previous two months.so as to show you what the result of oir working has been in the fir-t half of the present half year.\u2018Ihe grces receipts for these three months in 1880 were £496,000, against £443,000 in 1879, showing a gross increase of £62000.The working expenses wera 4353,000 ia 1880, against £354,000 in 1879, showing a decrease of working expenses of £1,000, against an i1crea: @ of gross receipts of £62,000, so that the net profit has beeu £143,000 for these three months in 1880 aga:.nst £30,000 in 1879, or an increased net profs for the thr:e months of £63,000.My friend on the right asks ma to refer here to what has been a subjact of misunderstanding amongst some of the proprietors.Lhey fancy the inerease of receipts which we have lately received, has been dw: to our adding the receipts of the Chicago and Grand Trurk to the receipts of the Grand Trunk.Now, that is not the case.I received a letter from a gentleman the other day, who told us it was wrong of us to delude the public as we had been doing into the belief that we wero getting large receipts on the Grand Trunk, when he knew very well we were adding the receipts of tho Chicago and Grand Trunk to make up the amount.I was happy to write back to him and tell him that the public were right and he was in error, and that he would be glad to learn that the receipts of the Grand Truok proper had not been gained by the addition of any receipts from the Cnicago and Grand Trunk.It is very gratifying to wus to se our eecuritice assuming something more like the proportions they ought to assume.I was totting up yesterday what the iucrease has been, and the figures are really somewhat astounding, because I find you, gentlemen, who are the proprietors of the line are mow in the satisfactory position of being A} millions sterling richer than you Were this time six monthe, when I had the pleasure of meeting you, and that the increased value of our securities during the past twelve months has not been less than somewhere about 8 millions sterling.There is one point upon which I find some proprietors are a little alarmed, and that is with regard to a Bill which has been lately introduced into the American Congress, called Mr.Hurd\u2019s Bill.That Bill is intended to provide that the American traffic should not be taken through any part of Canada.Now, gentlemen, I beg yon not to b in any way alarmed on that subjsct.We have heard of the origin of that Bill ; we have heard of it for some time.We heard that they were getting it up and were going to introduce it.It was drafted, we are told, by a director of the Canadian Southern, and it is stated to have been done for the purpose of stock speculation.Whe her he wanted to run down his own stock and buy it cheap, I do not know ; but they may as well expect to carry a Bill to prevent American grain and manufactures from being loaded ia British shipa on the coast, or brought to British shores, as expect Congress to pass a Bill to prevent the free running of trains through Canada or any other part of the continent of America.I tnink, in conclusion, that I really ought to thank one gentleman who has been sometimes considered a3 our greatest opponent, for weare not indebted to anybody 50 much as wo are to Mr.Vanderbilt for the cheap rate at which we have accepted this valuable property, the Chicago and Grand Trunk.You see, gentlemen, we do not here profess to be clever, or to be good at diplomacy; we are perfectly plain, straightforward people.All we do claim is that when we take up a course, which we believe to be a right course and a wise course, wo will stick to it and carry it through.I told you this time last year what we were going to do ; I vold Mr.Vanderbilt and everybody else, and we have carried it through and done it.Now, Mr.Vanderbilt assisted us in this way, that by buying the ceatral portion of that line for the purpose of cutting us off he cheapaned the two ends.He enabled us to get them at a much cheaper rate than we could have going to construct another line parallel to hisjowr, he was obliged to sell us bis own in order to avoid the loss which he would otherwise have inevitably experienced.That shows the advantage of being plain and suraightforward.We have mow got our through route, which I have told yoy doue otherwise, und finding we wera then | prcving ; immigrants are coming to us; United Statee,and a similar revival iscom- ing in Canada.I think I may conclude by saying with perfect confidence that the prospects of this undertaking are brighter than they have ever been at any previous period of ite history.I beg to move, in Vanderbilt had not purchased that line™ CE.\u201d To the Editor of the MowTREAL HERALD.SIR,\u2014 Will you oblige a Ca'holic by inserting the following = Ist.Every Catholic is bound to attend morning service on Suaday,

the picking up of a few chips, to couk a meal on Sanday, was punished by death.Some pecple would probably like to 0 me back to thoss happy days when the Sabbath was so strictly observed.But the 19.h

break the Sabbath) in this way, no une bas «ny more right to complain of this ein of theirs than of any other of their offeuces against God.The correspondents who ars taking such trouble to parade the

reign of terror.\u2018Those whom they cannot buy, they crush.Here now is & proof.M.V.Dessert, a Liberal, and the son of an old Liberal, M.Leon Dessert, of St.Guillaume, has just beon dismissed from his place as Conductor of the Mail on the South Eastern Rrilwey Cowpany\u2019s cars.The public was peifectly satisfid with the conduct of this young man, who was always affable, and always ready to render services by the fulfillment of his duty in an irreproachable manner.Therefore it hus been learned with astonishment, that without apy cause, he kas been deprived of hie place and replaced by a Tory of the old school.The indignation caused by this injustice is flagrant among the people ail along the railway line, and there is reason for it.\u2014 Gazcite de Sorel.AMUSEMENTS.Academy of Musio.* DUNDREARY\u2019S BROTHER SAM.\u201d The double bill presented last night drewout a very large and enthusiastic audience.It would be a works of supererogation où our part to go into any detailed criticism of the two pieces that were 80 exquisitely and charmingly per~ formed by Mr.Soihern\u2019s Company last night.\u201cBrother Sam,\u201d the twin brother of \u201cDundreary,\u201d could hard iy be distinguish ed from his aristocratic relative of the old land, The same calm, cool and easygoing way, so characteristic of the * Dundreary\u201d family, was perceptable in every gesture and movement of the transatlantic connection.\u2018\u201c Dundreary\u2019s\u201d hap,iness as a Benedict was what most fellows would like, but then, as he says, \u201cit's all a game of chance.\u201d In both roles Mr, Sothern showed all that finish and artistic ability which has placed him in the frent rank of English comedians.Each member of the Company played their part in a manner that gave the utmost satisfaction and called forth unbounded applausé, It is not going beyond the truth to say that a more evenly-balanced company Las seldom been een on the Academy boards.\u2018This afternoon at the matinee will be presented \u201cLord Dundreary,\u201d and in the evening « David Garrick,\u201d in_ the portrayal of which Mr.Sothern ha® no equal.Standing room alone is all that may

postpone their first presentation of the \u201c Chimes\u201d until Tuesday evening.\u2018Chis was certainly necessary as Miss Stone would be too fatigued to play the part with that vim so essential to

RAOE\u2014BOTH MEN CONFIDENT \u2014COURTNEY THE FAVOURITE, WASHINGTON, May 13.\u2014As the time for tha boat r,ce between Hanlan and Courtney approaches the interest increases, and now it is almost an absorbing topic here, Hanlan, Courtney and Riley rowed over the course, which is two-and-a-half miles down the river and return, Their presence attracted large crowds to the various available points on shore.Hanlan and Courtney both made a creditaple appearance.Courtney seemed to be'the favourite, his long, strong and easy stroke was particularly attractive, and, at times, his stroke was £0 long that his oars seemed almost to touch the stern of his boat, Courtney and Hanlan are in excellent condition, and the friends of both say they will do the prettiest rowing on May 19.h on the Potomac that was ever done here.Courtney says he i, ready for the fray, and all reports to the effect that this cii.rate docs not suit him are without foundation.He cxpresses approval of the course, and says that, for a crooked cne, it is as good as could be expected.* Have you fully made up your mind to row Hanlau?\u201d asked your correspondent, % Yes, that is what I came here for.Iam here entirely for bu-incss and not pleasure.\u201d With Courtney are several of his friends, who exj ress entire confidence in his ability to defeat Hanlan.Hanlan\u2019s friends are also sanguine and claim that he is the better man of the two.Courtney is the guest of the Potomac Boat Club, in whose bouse lis boat is secure: Hanlan is the guest of the Anulostan Boat Clab.Already numbers of porting men are on hand

visitors, and, in anticipation of the iuflux, every preparation is being made for their réception.Along the course on the Potomac large stands are to be erected, and it is expected that ainple-accommotation will be provided for all who desire to witness the race, The strength of Courtney\u2019s boat was fully tested yesterday afternoon by its coming Im c.utact with a snag in tae

AFFAIRS THE MOORE INVESTIGATION.A special meeting of the Market Committee was ht ld yesterday afiernoon for the purpose of continuing the \u2018Moore investigation.Ald, Ho'- land occupied the clair, and there was also present Ald.Allard, Lavigne, Gauthier, Fairba'rn, NMooney and Kennedy.\u201c THE CHAIRMAN AND THE \u2018\u2018 HERALD.\u201d Previous to taking any evidenc2, The Chairman said I want to draw the atten- tion of the Committee to an articie in the HERALD of Monday the 2rd instant, It 1s a very one- sided one, and accused the Chalrman of trylng to burke the investigation.Whatever fauits may have as an Alderman, I have never been ylity of bulking any enquiry into the conduct of apy official.Tbere has been an avowed intention by the pariles bringing these charges to oust Mr.Moore, and I'appeal to any impartial man if it was not my duty to give him the protection in eaquete which I have done.1 have done no more than that protection and have not been influeuced by him.i iiope the the reporters will take a note, as I feel it to ba very unfair that articie.Iti8 a very strong ex-parte statement.The first witness was Louis Rolland, a butcher at the corner of Willian and Murray streets, but he had scarcely been sworn before.A SCENE OCCURRED between te Cbalrman and some of tlie members of the Committee.Aid.Lavigne proposed the admission of Mr.Benallack to the Committee rucm during the \u20ac ns *cnatrman ruled that he be not admitted except as a witless.Ald.Lavigne replied he was not a witness, but was one of the accusers.The Chairman considered the motion out oforder.They must move for a reconsideration first.Ald.Allard did not care Low the Committee worked the enquete, beither did le cire if the Chairman ruled the motion out of order or not.He had just complained of a little piece in one of the papers but, accordirg to his ruling, the article was based on facts.; The Chairman replied that was the Alderman\u201ds opinion.Ald.Allard maintained that when the press was admitted the public was admitted, and if any one had a rigut to be there it was the compiainant.He couid not see the necessity of a vote on the question, Ths Chairman replied that Mr, Benallack was the prosccutor, and his name was fius Lhere.Aid Allard asked if he had not signed the -) petition ?The Chairman replied that was so.He con- tinned, ihe Committee agreeu to allow Mr.CruicK hanK to attend, but the Clerk would tell them that the public was not to be admitted any turther than by the press.It was decided tuat Mr, Cruickshanks should be admitted, If the Committee wished to reconsider and overrule the Chairman, all very well, vu Mr.Cruickshank sald Mr.Benallack would not open his mouth, The Chairman observed i$ Was a move to get Mr.Benaliack into he roo.Ald.Allard could not see why they sho\u201cld have tovoteonit?It did not xeem as it the chairman was doing no mo eth nto rrot ct M oe.If anyo ehad done anything to persecute Moore Le would have stood up with she Chairman for him.\u2018The Chairman siid it Was because Mr.Moore had peen a good servant In the di-charye of his duty that Mr.Beuallack had employed counsel, who was there representing him.Ald.Allard would think by whar they had seen Mr.Beuallack hid teen prompted by good motives in maki g that enquiry, ° « The Clhalrman su 'gesied that the Committee sh uid wait and hear the other side, Ald.Allard said that was what he wanted.He did not though know of any hing in the original motion which required them to vote on the destin.Everytime the Committee had Let they had lost time by such discussions.The Ch-irmin did not ling the question ought to be asked.Ald.Allard thought the Chairman had à very nice way of getting «ut of a bad place.Ald.Kennedy said th t Ald.Allard ard the Chairman were just gaptre ateuch other when they ought to be doing business Ald.Aulasd replied that things must be done in a proper manner.Ald.Ken edy was of opinio\u201d they ehnuld de 80, but Ald Allard d!d not seem to look like it.Ald.Ailard said Mr.Benallack was one of the signatories, and Le did not think it fair to keep him out ofgthe room.Ald.Kennedy sup;osed al the four s'g- natortes might come.Ald.A:lard would not plead far Mr, Benallack, but he sald that he would like to know, as he had to pay him, it Mr.Cruickshank wss doing hisduty ?There was nothing in the original motion wh'ch was in tue way.It wasall very well to propo:e oneself as ad°fender, but facts would tell, and they would speak pretty loud, but tue thing would have to come tn broad daylight, and th -n the public would see who wan: ed to pers \u2018cute and who wanted to whitewash, He had always satd give any official a fair trial and don\u2019t let him be abused or persecuted, and, ita m n did hig duty, all right, but 1f not, let them dismisshin, T e Chalrman was representative of the public, but not to miintain such as will 11 -treat the public.: The Chairman replted that was the position he 00K.Ald.Allard did not think they were thera do ng so.The Chairman replied that h~ knew Mr, Allard was prejudic:d, and he would take his views for What they were worth.Ald.Allard responded that he would try in another place where there would be 1ght.The Chatrman said 11 he had acted with the public feeling Ald.Allard spoke of, Moore would Lave been discharged without any iuvestiga- ii n.T e Chairman hen riled that the motion was out of orde , but, on being pressed tu do so, took .& vote ard the mo:ton carr ed.The examination of Louis Rolland was then proceeded with.He sald on one occasion he went to the Clty Hall to enquire as to a shop, and was told it was all reht, but Mr.Moore would not give him a certilicite.He had then taken the premises for,two years, and it was found it was witain the radius.He paid Moore $40 tO be allow=d 10 carry on throvgh the year as he had the sho; on his hands, and the house wag refused him, He also gave him $10 not to rosecute 8 man named Beaudoln, a grocer, who ad been selling meat without a license.Moore never a-ked him for money, but he thought he deserved It B-njamin Lamb was next called, but he had nothing to say.Horinidas Quenneville being examined, said he never gave Moore any money, but he had offered mo-ey to bin and he would not accept it.Mr.Cruikshank who was watching tha case for thelnforinants, was no:iced sp~aking to Aid.Lavigne, and the Chairman told him they did nog want any \u2018 f his quesdons.Mr.Cruickshank replied he wou'd put any question through any Alderman, but he had been insulted by the Chairman and he would not be again.He wanted a free lavestigation batifthe Chairman had his way they would not get it.ald.Kennedy told him to wait until the end and nee.Ths Chairman told Mr.Cruickshank he was there on sufferance, and he was tampering with the j rymen Mr.Cruickshank asked if he thought 1t fair for him to act as he had done.The Cbairman old Lin to sit down.A pretty lively scene ensued, in which the Chairma : accused Mr.Cruickshank of a breach of confidence, and the latter replied, \u201cIt's false.\u201d Mr.CrulekshanKk sald hs had suffered too much at the hands of the Chairman in that room.The Chatrman thought he had faken more impudence than he ought to have done.Atter a long war of worgs, - The examination of Quenr: vill* \u2018yag continued.Herepeated that Moore would not accept the money he offered h'm.He admitted thaton one occasion his wife had put a $5 1n Mr.Moore'sg pocket unknown to any oue, g In arswer to a remark from Ald.! avigne, The Cha\u2018rman said behind (hat enquiry there Was \u2018bilter persecution, and a determination had been expressed to get rid of Moore.Mr.Cru'kshank could not un ierstand why the Chairman had bis pick at iim as he always had.Ald.Lavigne sald the Chairman did not seem to like him.Matthias Ritzhicot said that on one occasion Moore asked him for $10 to allow bim to open a store, but he thought it too much, and only gave hin $5.Witness had moved to à new shop and purchased the pr-vious occapant\u2019s license.Joseph Levecque deposed that he rp: ed a shop at the corner of St.Catherine and German streets, which was outside the 800 yards radius, and he gave Mr.Moore $19 to make an application.In 1:79 he eave Moore $3.5 to allow hin to remove across the street, as ie was then side the radius.Mr.Moure did not ask him for either of the sums of mon y, but he gave it to him for the trouble he had, In cross-examina- tion witness sald he ha been &ned five times.Mr.Benallack went and asked him to give evl- dence, and he was accompanied by Ald.Lavigne and Mr.Lafontaine.That closed the case for the complainants.The Chal man before closing sald that was the first time in his lite in picsiding that h.had seen rsons professing to be gentiemen call him a far.He expected bette~ things from Mr, \u2018rutk- shank to a man of his years, and was sorry for Mr.Crulkshank\u2019s own sake that he had made such a mistake.A fresh passage of arms ook ylace, In which some strong insinustions were made, but the last seen of the two gentlemen was that they were ¢ nversing in a much milder manner in the vestibule of the hall, .HEALTH COMMITTEE.This Committee met at four o'clock.Present \u2014Ald.Allard (Chairman), Donovan, Genereux, Prcctor, Taibault, Mooney and Fairbairn.\u2018the

duty of the Board to at once advertise for tenders.Ald.Donovan siid there would be some difficulty in looking after the scaveng.ng of the city during the interval.Something should be dove at once by the Board, as the weather is not such as to admit uny gre ¢ accumulations of dirt.Ald.Proctor did not thi: k the work would ever be properly done by contract, It should be done by the supervision of the denartmen*, Alderman Fairbairn moved that the contrict of the seavenging contractor be cancelied from to-day according to the terms of the protest Bervedcarried, Ald.Genereux moved that new

Inspector be instructed to take immediate steps tv the cleaning of the city and to do so until tur her orders, Ald.Allard said thatthe cost would be great, and he wouid not vote for giving any employe any large amount of money 10 expend on the work, Ald.Donovan was sure the sanitary Inspector would be careful of the funds.Ald.Mooney had every confidence in the Sanitary Inspector.A.d.Genereux moved, in amendment to Ald Donovan\u2019 mot on, that Mr.sann be called in and find out from him what he would charge for cleansing Lhe city for one week\u2014Ca ried.The Chairman explai ed to Mr, Mann the terms of the resolut:on.Mr.Mann said he would not Stats any price.It was a great undertaking.However, on being pressed by Ald.Mooney, he stated that he had two prices.1st, If he (Mr.Mahon) got the

Mr, Mr.Andrew R>bertaon\u2019s explanations on the subject of ¢ Montreal a Free Port.\u201d :\u2014 GENTLEMEN,\u2014It has been customary that all the statements made by the Chairman have been submitted to the Board befcro being delivered to the general publie.How this custom was introduced, cr what purpose it was intended to serve, I do not profess to know.I have, however, followed strictly the same rule up to this point, but on the present occasion I intend, with your leave, to ask your indulgence in \u2018what I am now going to eay,and that I personally accept the entire responsibility therefor.It is my intention to reply to the varied statements which have lately been made in connection with the Trust, by individuals and through the press.Let me first refer to the question and meaniug of what bas been termed A FREE PORT.I have been criticised for asking that tke term \u201c Free Port\u201d should be defined.My object in doing so at the meeting of the Board of Trade was not to put any ob- structicn in the way of the port becoming free, but that it was causing conflicting ideas in the minds of many peopls.A free port has been stated by some to be a free port for ships\u2014that is tosay, ships are not to pzy tonnage dues.Others maintain that o free port means no dues on ships or their cargoes, but everything to pass free.The HzRarp says :\u2014* Mr.Esdaile properly expressed his surprise at the inaction of the Board.\u201d Iaccept this as per- somal to myself, because, as Chairman, I am no doubt expected to see that the work is properly attended to.In order, therefore, to show whatfhas been done, allow me to refer back to the date of my ap pointment, at the end of June last.When the late Chairman, Mr.Cramp, was superseded, he mentioned that there were three important subjects lefs for me to deal with, viz., the Grand Trunk Railway track on the wharves, the Q, M.& Oright of way to Quebec Gate Barracks, and the allowance to Mrs.Young.The last question bas been settled, ag I believe, -satisfac\u2019orily to those more immediately interested,\u2018and I am glad to say that the Government of the day were mag- nanimeus enough after Mr.Young\u2019s death to recogniee the services of probably one of the strongest opponents they exer had.The Joly Administration fell, and consequently, for the time bring, settled the Q., M.& O.questien ; while the Grand Trunk question is receiving my most anxious cousideration, and is in a fuir way of solution.Mæ.CRAMP says, in a letter to the HkRra1» of 3rd instant, that last year\u2019s Bill was sufficient to enable us to reduce the dues on sailing ships, I wag of the :ame opinion, but our Counsel thought we could not abolish the tonnage dues, therefore the clause granting power to abolish tomnage dues was inserted, in order that there might be no mistake, oo In connection with the r duction of the tariff, tha Board have been charged by the HerALD for insincerity in the follow- ingstatement:\u2014 \u201cItis stated that their most recent act proves comclusively their insincerity.They adopted a tariff to take effect on 1st April, which was passed by Order-ia- Council oa the 19.h April, and in place of reducing the dues on the pumber of articles taxed, the lisi has been increased by some 46 ; all this had beén work prier to the professions of the Harbour Commissioners, to assist the deputation in bringing abort so much needed a reform.We publish two letters this morning on this important subject ; one disposes of the plea that we require legislation \u2014(Mr.Cramp\u2019s)\u2014the other insinuating what we charge, that the Board of T:ale and Corn Exchange have been hood-winked.\u201d\u2014(Mr.Henshaw\u2019s.) No greater misstatement could have been made than the foregoing.The preparation of this tariff was commenced in November last, and was before the Commissioners for months.It was sent to the Governor inm-Council for approval on the 28rd day of March, and was vnly reccived completed on the 29th April, under cover of 28th, from O:tawa.Mr.Cramp, in a letter to the Garelte on the 5th instant, criticizing an article of theirs of the previous day, of which I was entirely ignorant till it appeared, meun- tions his appeal to Sir Charles Tupper for the assumption of the debt, 80 as to be able to reduce the duee, and takes credit for having presented \u2018 the only official ap- poal yet addressed by any Harbour Commissioners to the present Government, is that whicù was presented by me on behalf of my colleagues and myself.\u201d As you are sll aware, $'r Charles Tupper was ai one time Minister of Pubiic Works, including railways amd canals.At the time of my appointment he went to England, und on his return I mentioned, the very first time I was in Ottawa, in October last, that the Harbour Commissioners would soon b: making a demand on him for the assumption of the debt, but in conversation he stated that the time had not yet arrived, that, even were they willing to do it, the state of the finunces of the country were still such as would prevent its being likely of accomplishment for some time.He at the same time mentioned Mr, Cramp and Mr.McLennan had seen bim about six months previously on the subject,and that they had presented an appeal, which I then heard for the first time.I asked hum for a copy, which was afterwards obtained, and is a document which deserves the highest praise, and which I cheerfully accord to Mr.Cramp and his co Commissioners.This statement Idid not think nec -ssary to repeat, but accepted the same as & de- liverancs of \u2018he Board in whict I entirely eoncurred, and which deserved and has obtained my warmest support, as well as that of every one of my co-Cemmissioners.Mr.Cramp forther writes :\u2014 As the result of this appeal, Sir Charles Tupper told us that he fully recognized the contention that the reduction of dues had become a necessity in order to attract io- creaged trade, and he agreed to the legislation asked, which is mow on the Statute Book, 42 Vie, chop.28, by which provision is made to legalizs such reduction.I say, further, that the pressure of Lake St.Pater interest was only then beginning to be seriously felt, and it would have been unwise to yo before any Governmest for its immediate assumption as the case had previously stc dd.\u201d Let me ask \u201cwhy he did not go in 1878 more readily than in 1879?When Mr.Cramp eutered office in 1874 the surplus for that year was $161,940 ; in 1875, $101,~ 780 ; 1876, $25,695; in 1877 the lowes J Gasnriez CEURCH.\u2014 Rev, James |.reached in the decade, $18,881; and in 1878, $24,299.It seems to me that the situation was even more alarming in 1878 than in 1879, credit if be had presented the document to the horcurable gentleman who had go far given.bis approval, and who was 80 much stronger 1b office that he was at the time not only Minister of Public Works, but also the Prime Minister of the Dominion, H-n.Alexander Macker sie.In view of the agitation which this aab- jeot has caased within the last month, ib 18 refreshing to find such anxiety on the part of Mr.Cramp, now that he has no responsibility, to agitate for a reduction of the duce.In the interview he kad with Sir Charles Tupper, in March, 1879, as re~ lated by himself at the meeting of the Board of \u2018Trade, held in January last, when he, \u201caccompanied by Mr.McLennan and the City members, the whole question was gone into very fully and a3 much evi- deuce brought to bear that the charges must be reduced, they asked for permis- gion to introduce a Biil to reduce thew, aud they went boldly into the matter.\u201d The Bill for this purpose was introduced ard passed ; what was the result?where the boldness ?what reduct.ons were proposed ?none.The Bill waa safely stowed away in the pigeon-hoie\u2014why so?Because, as Mr.Cramp, almoss in the same breath, says, \u2018 That they could not reduce their dues and meet their obligations, unless the Channel was assumed by the Government.Until then they could not reduce charges, and it would be foolish to expect a large increase of trade.\u201d .With this statement, that until the Government would assume the Channel debt, no reduction could be made; and Mr.Cramp knowing the fact that any reduction which may be proposed by the Harbour Board must be assented to by the Governor-iu-Council before it can be ratified, atks me for a bold policy ; and the HEegALD, with its * nod of assent from Sir Charles Tupper,\u201d seems to thick because of public clamour that I am able to do exactly as they wish, or as 1 please.B HE AGE OF MIRACLES is past, and Dr.Pierce\u2019s Golden Medical discovery wifl not raise the dead, will not cure you if your lungs are half wasted by consumption, or your system sinking under cancerous disease.It is, however, unsurpassed both as a pectoral and alterative, and will cure obstinate apd severe disease of the throat acd lungs, coughs, and bronchial affections.By virtue of ite wonderful alterative properties it cleanses and enriches the Flood, thus curing pimples, blotches, and eruptions, and causing even Preat eating ulcers to heal.Sold by d uggists.Tae Voutaic Brur Co, MARSHALL, M:cH., will send their celebrated Electro- Voitaie Belts te the afflicted npon 30 days trial.Speedy cures guaranteed.\u2018J'hey mean what they say.Write tothern win.out delay.BW ErPa\u2019s Cocoa \u2014GRATEFUL AND COMFORT iNg\u2014 By a thorough knowledge of the natural laws which govern the operations of digestion and nutrition, and by a careful application of the fine properties of well- selected cocoa, Mr.Epps has provided our breakfast tables with a delicately flavoured beverage which may save us many heavy doctors\u2019 bills.It is by the judicious use of such articles of diet that a constitution may be gradually built up until strong enough to resist every tendency to disease.Hundreds of subtle maladies are fioatirg around us ready to attack wherever there ig a weak point.We may escape many a fatal shaft by keeping ourselves well forts.fied with pure lood and a properly nor ished frame.\u201d \u2014Civil Service Gazeite.~Scld only in packets labelled\u2014 Jauxe kre & Co, Homœopathic Chemists, Lomd:'j Wnglszd.\u201d Rovember a P Steamship Iotises, : EAVER LINE.GANADA SHIPPING COMP\u201dY.Running in connection with the GRAND TRUNK RAILWAY OF CANADA Tons.Lake Manitoba.3,300 building Lake Winnipeg.3,300 Capt.W.Bernson Lake Nepigon.2,330 Capt.G.B.Scott Lake Champlain.2,3%0 Capt.W.Stewart The steamers of this Line will sail from MONTREAL FOR LIVERPOOL as fol- ows:\u2014 LAKE WINNIPEG.\u2026.ssorences LAKE CHAMPLAIN.LAKE NEPIGON.\u2026 Lake WINNIPEG.June 17 Rates of Passage from Montreal to Lieerpool;
