demand, 4.83@4.83%; Cables, 4.833@4.84; commercial bills were 4.794.793.Continental bills were very dull, as follows, viz.:\u2014Franes 5.233@5.23%, 5.211@5.20$; Rechismarks, 944@} and 943@% and 943 3: Guilders, 393@40.The following are the posted rates of the leading drawers of foreign exchange: \u2014 60 days.3 days 4 4.84 Sterling Paris, francs.5.18 Antwerp, francs 5.19 Zurich, franes.5.18: Berlin, reichsmarks Le 95.Bremen, reichmarks.ç 95.Hamburg, reichsmarks 9.\u2018Amsterdam, guilders.40 With reference to the recent shipments of gold from London, the New York Post says :\u2014\u201c We do not regard the preseng muvement of specie to this country asany mure ofa borrowing of foreign capital than the similar importations during the three years\u20141879, 1880 and 1881\u2014when we imported over $200,000,000 of specie, That specie has never been paid back, and yet, in the meantime, we have certainly reduced our foreign indebtedness.While there are no possible statistics tu show the amounts of American securities held oad, it is quite well established that f Theïgreat bulk of the United States bonds held in'Europe à few ycars ago lave all Dem \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 ee meme 1 RE - as - - VOL.LXXV.\u2014No.58.PRICE.THREE CENTS been brought to this country, and there is reason to believe that the amount of American railway and municipal bonds held abroad has not increased to the same extent as the amount of United States bonds has decreased.The United States are better able to carry American securities than four or five years ago.Theevi- | dence of this is in the general decline in | rates of interest in all parts of the country in the last three years.In short, the United States have grown richer, notwithstanding that there are some people who love to imagine we are always on the verge of bankruptey.\u201d Consols in London are firm at 102 1- 16 for money and 102 5-16for account.United States bonds strong 4}'s at 116, 5% at 1064, and American railway securities higher.Erie 384, Illinois Central 1484 Atlantic and Great Western first mortgage trustees\u2019 certificates, 54%;

retrogression except perhaps with the United States.The Sheffield Independent, in discussing this question, says : \u201c Provided nothing happens to interfere with the ordinary course of events, we gnticipate a fairly presperous year.An important advance in prices or wages is hardly practicable while the means if production continue to be so far ahead of demand.It would seem, indeed, that a silent revolution has been taking place in the conditions of trading during the last ten years.Cheapness of production is now apparently the only condition upon which a large and growing trade can be done.Except fin new and special branches, high rates of profit age nowhardly to be looked for.The best hope of manufacturers seems to be in the economy of their arrangements and the vastness of their turnover, and the best hope of workmen, in.full employment at fair wages and the cheapness of all the necessaries of life: If inflation is avoided, and prices and wages continue moderate, we believe the trade of the year will, on the whole, be quite as active\u2014probably even more active\u2014than that of the year just closed.\u201d The pig iron product of the three leading countries in 1883 was 5,178,- 122 net tons in the United States, 3,170, 957 in Germany, and 8,493,287 in the United Kingdom.But, in the matter of actual consumption, the United States either leads or shall lead shortly, as they import pig iron, while Great Britain exports heavily.Itis to be observed that all other countries, excepting France, produce each less than a million tons of pig iron a year, and that the output mentioned above is considerably above the total output of the entire world in any year from 1869 to 1878.BODEN, WILSON & CO.\" A paragraph has been published in an evening contemporary referring to alleged financial trouble in a produce firm which it styles as \u201cBoden, Wilson & Co\u201d?We are 1uformed that there is no such firm in existence, and no paper drawn on or by a firm of that name Ras ever been passed through a bank here.The concluding portion of the statement is also declared to be untrue.Mr, Charles Boden represents in Montreal the Liverpool house of Blackburn & Parkinson, who, Mr.Wilson says, have never refused to accept any drafts or bills of exchange drawn on them by Mr.Boden.Mr.Pratt, representing Messrs.Blackburn & Parkinson in New York, is at present in this city, and in an interview categorically denied the statement made by our contemporary.Moreover, we are authorized to state that there is nothing due to any bank by \u201c Boden, Wilson & Co.\u201d In another column of the same paper there are certain injurious references to Mr.C, F.Dewey.Mr.Dewcy sailed for England in the \u201c Servia,\u201d\u201d and has not endeavoured to conceal his movements, as his friends here expect him back in the middle of April.We are authorized to state that responsible parties here hold an amount of Mr, Dewey\u2019s money sufficiently large enough to amply cover his imputed indebtedness, and if any of his bills of exchange have been returned it must have been on account of some mistake.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE CATTLE MARKETS.MoNTREAL,

Mr.Joly warmly supported tie resolu- | tion, adding the hope that the Government would appoint a Superintendent honest and useful and\u2019 not parties recommended to their favour for political reasons and offering a large number of practical suggestions, especially with regard to railways running through forest-lands.Mr.Carbray said the Government could not take too much interest in the protection of the forests.More timber has been \u201cdestroyed by fire in this Province than had been cut for the market.He had heard oaly to-day a lumberman complaining of the Crown Lands Departinent wi-h reference to the cutting of trees mbasuring less than 12 inches at the stump.After the Dominion subsidy our forests now supplied almost our only source of revenue, and he could not recommend too strongly to the Commissioner of Crown Lands the great importance of taking means for cheir preservation and to render effective the present regulations of the Department etlect- ing them.He was swe no members of the House would be grudge a reasonable amount to be set apart for this purpose from the revenue derived from.our Crown Lands.(Applause,) Mr.Flynn followed, expressing the pleasure with which he had heard the remarks which had fallen on this subject, both from the Commissioner of Crown Lands and also from the hon.ex-leader of the Opposition.He spoke at some length in favour of the resolution.Mr.Beaubien also supported the resolution, suggesting, amongst other things, that the guardians who should be appoint ed might be employed in seeding down such \u2018portions of the bush.as had been swept by fire and were unfit for cultivation, and instancing trees, now 30 feet in \"height, the seeds of which he himself had planted.He also spoke of the waste occa sioned by the manufacture of square timber, speaking at considerable length.Mr.Marchand made lengthy remarks in favour of the resolution.At 6 o'clock the House took recess.AFTER RECESS.The debate was resumed on the motion .of Mr.Paquet for the House to go into y committee on the bill to incorporate the \u2018General Colonization and Industrial Enterprise Company.Messrs.Picard and Trude! declared themselves in opposition to the measure and Mr.Martin supported the bill very warmly.Mr.Ytarion said that after hearing the .discussion on the bill he saw no danger to granting the land, as asked by the bill, particularly when the honesty and integrity of the administration was taken into consideration.The company would have had no difficulty in obtaining whaë it asked if it had been divided into various companies, one for each industry referred tojin the bill.Mr.Watts objected to the principle of the Bill as dangerous.It proposed no limits to the powers to be granted the Company.Each section of it accorded ex- horbitaut powers.If the Government acceded to the Bill every subsequent administration would be greatly embarrassed by it.Mr.Laberge denied that it would be in the interest of the Province for any one individual or company to purchase all its railways.In such a case a huge monopoly could be formed and any price charged for freight or passengers\u2019 Mr.Paqu'ét denied that the bill established a monopoly either of Government lands or anything else.The Government would be to blame if they allowed themselves to be ruled by the Company.The Company asked power to do no more than any private individual could do.Mr.Dubamel said all the opposition to the bill was due to the fact that Mr.Senecal was one of the promoters.oo Mr.Poupore would oppose the bill in committee, if not amended to suit his views.Mr.Owens said that before recording his vote on the principle of the bill now under discussion, he desired in, as few words as possible, to define his position and state his reasons for voting against it.He might differ with many of the hon.gentlemen who Lad preceded him.He might look on Mr.Senecal and the gentleman associated with him as the most energetic and enterprising of our commercial men, and in opposing the bill as he did the hon.gentlemen on both sides of this House would understand, that he was net actuated by any fanatical prejudices against Mr.Senecal or any of the promoters of the bill, but that he was opposed to the principle of the bill, which bristled with objectionable clauses.However, it was not necessary at this stage to discuss those objections clause by clause, but would merely say that not withstanding the assertions of the Iongentleman who supported the bill the ob- Ject was to create a monopoly which might later endanger the best interests of this Province.\u2018The member for L'Assomption and other Hon.gentlemen, relying on the honesty, wisdom and powers of resistence of our Government feel contident that the interests of thi: Province will lie carefully guarded.He quite agreed with those Honcentlemen so farusthe Guverument,as at presentconstituted, was concerne:l,but in the near future this monoply,wliich were asked by this legislation to create, might virtually govern this Province.The Government that will then administer the affairs of this Province may be the mere creation of this monopoly.In that case the best interests of the Province may be handed over to this huge monopoly.The powers asked for by the Biil were such as he trusted would never Le granted to any Company by this House, and for that reason he must vote for the amendment of the member for Kamouraska.Mr.Asselin said great progress had been of late made in colonization, railway build- ng, &c., and he asked, since the aid of capitalists had been so warmly welcomed on behalf of the objects, why the applica tion of the present Company should be refused ?Mr.Deschene referred to the charter granted in 1881 to the River du Loup anufacturing Company, which was similar in many respeets to the present bill.Mr.Casavant thought the limit of the company\u2019s capital, $25,000,000, would be dangerous when divided throughout the Province amongst the various enterprises of the company.Mr.Garneau desired amendment to the bill, but would like it referred to a Committee of the Whole.Mr.Demers and Mr.Marchand opposed the measure.Mr.St.Hilaire supported 1t, believing it would be to the advantage of the Chicoutimi & Saguenay R.R.Mr.Flynn said if the preamble of the bill was \u2018adopted without amendments it would be impossible to amend it.Tle amendment of Mr.Gagnon was then put to the vote and defeated, on the following division :\u2014 Fcr\u2014Messrs.Mercier, Stephens, Joly, Marchand, Flynn.Z Beaubien, Picard,

division, and the House went into committee on the bill, Mr.Desjardins in the chair.A long discussion occurred on the preamble of the bill, when the committee rose and reported progress.The House then adjourned at 1 a.m.NOTICES OF MOTION.The following are Mr.Mousseau\u2019s reso- utions respecting the study of anatomy: Resolved, 1st, That for the purposes or the study of anatomy the Province of Quebec be divided into two sections, which shall be known as \u201c The Quebec Section\u201d and \u201cThe Montreal Section,\u201d which sections shall respectively comprise a just judicial district as the Lieutenant-Governor in council may be pleased to specify, and that it shall be lawful for the Lieutenant- Governor in council to appoint during his pleasure an inspector of anatomy for each of such sections and a sub-inspector of anatomy of the judicial district except those of Quebec and Montreal, in which the office will be filled by the inspector of anatomy, but persons so appointed shall not in any way be connected with any university or school of medicine, or be practising physicians.Resolved, 2nd, That every university or school of medicine shall pay to the imspector of anatomy, in addition to the cost of transport and of burial, a cum of $10 for every corpse delivered, and the inspector shall pay to the sub-inspector for every corpse which the latter shall deliver to him the sum of $5, over and above the cost of transport.Resolved, 3rd, That every superintendent or director of a public institution receiving a grant from the Government, and every coroner who shall knowingly omit, or who shall neglect or refuse to comply with the provisions of the act, to be based on these resolutions, and every University or school of Medicine which shall receive corpses in its dissecting room, er allow dissecting within 1ts establishment of corpses which have not been supplied to it by the inspector of anatomy, shall, upon a complaint to that effect, before a Justice of the Peace, by the Inspector or Sub-Inspector of Anatoiny, be liable to a penalty of not less than $100, or more than $200 for each offence, and the amount of such penalty and cost of the suit shall be wetained by the Treasurer of the Province out of the next grant, which such institution, university or school of medicine is to receive or shall be retaine from the emoluments which may become payable to such Coroner as the case may e.PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEES.THE NEW GAS BILL.The bill to incorporate the Citizens\u2019 Gas Company of Montreal was before the Private Bills Committee to-day, commencing at 11.45.The Chairman, Mr.Beaubien, asked to have an understanding as to the mode of discussion.The promoters of the bill asked to have two counsels, and the Mayor of Mentreal heard.The opposition desired to be heard by counsel and directors of the actual Gas Company.The Chairman read preamble of the bill.Mayor Beaudry said that the Corporation was willing to purpose of laying the pipes neccessary to secure diminution in the price of gas.25 out of 27 members of the Council had petitioned in favor of the passage of the bill.In supporting it he was not expressing alone his own opinion, but that of the great bulk of the citizens.Mr.John Ostell, Vice-President of the Montreal Gas Company, followed.He said in years goue by there were two gas companys in Montreal.The result was amalgamation, and the price went up to $5.This had been gradually reduced by the present company to $1.55.It was all very well to promise, but a difficult thing to fulfill, such promises as made by the promoters of the bill.He asked the committee tor bear m mind the interest of the 500 stock holders of the company, including a large percentage of widows and orphans, re igious and charitable institutions.The company had been called a monopoly, but the Premier had said in the House last night that monopolies were not always injurious or undesirable.He objected to Interference with vested rights, and he said that there was too much communis; in these days, which was illustrated by immediate attacks upon any individuals or corporations making fair profits.Mr.McGibbon spoke in support of the bill.The Vice-President of the Gas Company had advanced the startling proposition that the bill should not be passed, because the incorporation of à second company would send sp prices of gas.In anv other branch of business the contrary would be the case.In Detroit there were till lately two gas companies, each furnishing gas at $1 per 1,000 feet, but as soon as they amalgamated prices went up to $2.The present bill prevents amal- - have the streets of the city opened for the\u2019 gamation or arrangements \u2018th another company under penalty of forfeiting the charter.When i arrived here yesterday he found the principal argument of the opponents was that tue scheme was of a bogus or spcenlative character.He imme diately telegraphed the promoters, and had several replies expressive of their thorough earnestness.The City Council unanimons- ly passed a resolution approving of the bill, and 25 out of 27 Councillors signed the petition praying for jte passage.It was not in reason that the bill should be rejected.If the Gas Company believe they are furuishing gas at the lowest possible rates they had nothing to fear from competition.When their contract expires in 1885 for lighting the city, the new Company bound themselves to tender for the work; and if the Gas Company then tender as low, say tor $1 per 1,000 feet, the new Company would retire.By their bill they were prec ulded §f-om paying more than 10 per cent.dividend, or from accumulating more than 5 per cent.of a rest.The Company also provided in the bill that the City ouncil should send three directors to the board meetings with access to all the books &e.The old Company\u2019s original capital had been $1,000,000, but it had been watered to the extent of $700,000, and a dividend amounting to 12 per cent.on the whole was paid.He then read what Mr.Workman of Montreal, himself a stockholder of this Gas Company, had recently said at a publicmeeting as to the profits of the Company.Mr.McGibbon, continuing, said that other gas companies might charge more than that in Montreal, but it must be remembered that in the United States they had to pay for the right of opening streets and expensive cost of legislation, so that it frequently happened a company had to expend $200,000 or $300,000 at the very outset, and then to provide street lamps, for which the Montreal Gas Company were paid $24 each.He asked that the new company beallowed a ~harter and given a chance to tender.The: wanted to be pro tected against monopoly and if the other company reduced the price of gas to their figure, they were prepared to withdraw without being reimbursed for their outlay.Mr.Jesse Joseph, President of the Gas Company, followed, speaking until shortly before two o'clock, when the Committe adjourned.He referred to the ease with which signatures were secured to petitions, especially when people were told that by signing them they could keep their bills at half price.He then read lengthy extracts from a report by Mr.A.Hickenlooper to the Committee on Light of the Board of Public Works of Cincinnati, contending that it was always inadvisable to have competition in the supply of gas, as the result was invariably the absorption of the weaker company by the stronger and the subsequent increase in rates.The experience of numerous cities on the subject was quoted in support of this.Mr.Joseph said that the present company had possession of the streets in the aty and the system of pipes in the streets had been built with the city.If this bill was passed a war between the two companies would set in which would cause large costs and outlay, and finally when the weaker succumbed the rates would have to be raised and the public thus made to pay for the rive Iry aud worse than useless war, which would have been waged.By the terms of the contract passed between the Corporation of Montreal and the Gas Company, the former pledgell itself to grant no permission to any other company to lay pipes in the city before 1885.By this eon- tract they also agreed to supply light at $2.50 per 1,000 feet up to 1885.Notwithstanding this the company had, some few years ago, without any solicitation from the Corporation, reduced their charges to $2.00 per 1,000, thus knocking oft\u2019 $60,000.Last year again they had made another reduction unsolicited to $1.90 per 1.000.That Had been the.policy of the company, that was its present policy, and would continue to be its policy in the future.He denied that there was any monopoly in the Gus Company.It had started 35 years ago and for seven years had paid no dividend.Then it paid for some time four, five and six per cent.Referring to Mr.Workman\u2019s speech, read by Mr.McGibben, he said it was aingular to find anybody complaining that their investments paid them too large dividends.Analysing his figures, however, it would be seen, on re flection, that the $800 paid 35 years ago at | 8 per cent.compound interest should now amount on an ordinary investment to $16,000 and 10 per cent., the rate allowed in England on gas investments should reach the sum of $36,000.Owing to the risk of accidents to which they were snb- jeet Gas Companies were like gun powder.1n England 10 per cent.was allowed to be aid by them, and in France 20 per cent.t would be remembered that an explosion in Glasgow a few days ago caused damage to the gas works to the extent of $300,000.A similar accident some years agoin Liverpool caused a loss of $570,000.So that he did not think 12 per eent.was teo high to pay here on a gasstock.He referred to the special impost on the Gas Company of $5,000, in addition to the ordinary taxes paid the city of Montreal, making in all pearly $10,000 per annum.Referring to the large amount expended on buildings, etc., by the Company, he said the proposed legislation, if adopted, would amount to virtual confiscation of its pro- pert , in which they counted as shareholders numerous churches and hospitals, nunneries, and other instititutions.He denied that the stock of the Company had been watered, but new stock had been issued.He quoted from a list of 830 Gas Companies in America to show that the rates charged in Montreal, $1.90 for light and $1.20 for other purposes, averaging $1.55, were about the lewest charged anywhere on the Continent, even the city of Philadelphia, where the city owns the Gas Company, and dividends are paid in order that cheap gas may be assured, it is found necessary to charge $1.96 per 1.000 feet.Being nearly 1 o\u2019clock, the Committee then adjourned until 10.30 a.m.to-morrow, when Mr.Drouin, advocate, will address the Committee in favour of the Bill.Mr, B.Globensky, for the Gas Company, and Mr.McGibbon will sum up in reply.The vote will doubtless be taken to-morrow.The Commitiee adopted to-day the Bill to amend the Charter of the Canadian Electric Co., amending it to strike out other means of illuminating besides the electric light, and permitting the use of gas only for the purpose of generating the electric light.Tn the Private Bills Committee a long fight occurred on the Bill for the incorporation of St.Sauveur.A large number of prominent citizens appeared against the measure.Mr.Fpromoted the Bill, and Mr.Bedard opposed it, as did Dr.Dion, of St.Sauveur.The Committee threw out the Bill on the round that the majority of the ratepavers th in number and in value appeared to be opposed to it.IMPORTANT When yeu visit or leave New York City save Baggage Expressage and Carriage Hire aud stop at

* * * * the decision given by the Superintendent should be final, and he may by such decision order the School Commissioners or Trustees to do that which they have been required or which he orders them to do.\u201d * * * * The Royal Grammar School of Mont real was established in 1816.In 1818 it passed under the control of the Royal Institution.In September, 1846, by an Order-in-Council, the High School of Montreal, which had been established in 1845.was constituted the Royal Grammar Senool, and, as such, was governed and maintained by she Royal Institution until 187 0, when, hy the provisions of law above cited, it wus handed over to the Protestant Board of School Commissioners, who had they been unwilling to accep the trust, might, we learn, have been compelled to do so by legal procedure.LZ COLONY OF NEW ZEALAND.Tie Aegiotrar General of New Ze | land bas forwarded us a copy of his annual blue hook.from which cerning the population, grade, ete., of that far off colony.Un the 31st December, 1881, tlie population of New Zealand amounted to 500,910, exclusive of 44,097 Maories.The increase dur- lug the whole year wus 14,857\u2014by excess of births over deaths 13,241, and by excess of immigration over emigration 1,616.The total ascertained arrivals in the colony during the year amounted to 9,688, of which number only 103 were at the public expense.O.the arrivals 1,029 were adult Chinese from Australia; 3,507 from the United Kingdom ; 3,146 from Victoria; 2,924 from New South Wales and Queensland.Tho total number returned as having left the colony was 8,072.With respect to land ; 23.09 Presbyterian; 14.08 Roman Catholic; 9.52 Methodist.The trade and navigation statistics show an -| increase of 35 in the number of vessels inwards, and a decrease of 24 vessels in the shipping outwards.The total value of imports was £7,457,043, being an increase of £1,295,034 compared with the preceding year.The total value of exports was £6,060,866, an increase of £291,826 on the previous year.The value of gold exported was £996,387, a decrease of £223,396 compared with 1880.Of wool exported, the declared value was £2,909,760, a decrease.of £259,540 compared with ihe year 1880.This decrease, however, was caused by increased consumption in the various woollen manufac- tories in the colony; and the Registrat growing.\u201d Of course they will grow; our fellow colonists apparently knowing how to take care of themselves, and showing increased anxiety to promote and encourage local industries.The total ordinary and territorial revenue amounted to £3,757,493, and the expenditure to £3,675,796.The debt of the colony on the last day of the year 1881 was £29,659,111, and the annual charge in respect of the debt was £1,510,527, There were 1,333 miles of railway open.te.traffic, the estimated cost of the limes being £9,443,000.The number Office Savings Banks was 190, and the deposits during the year amounted to £1,183,012; the withdrawals, £902,- 195.In other Savings Banks the deposits amounted to £251,220.The average liability of the banks was £10,- 083,188; the average assets, £14,863, 645 ; the paid-up capital, £5,450,000.The extent of land under grain crops was 638,910 acres ; under green crops, 363,573 acres; and under artificial grasses, 3,938,089 acres.There were 869 primary schoolssupported by Government, and 266 private schools.The total strength of the armed constabulary amounted to 1,495 men of all ranks.= The strength of the volunteer forge was 10,294 officers and man.These statistics speak well for the colony, and show that if is in a prosperous condition.SEEKING MANY POWERS.Mr.Small, Member cf the House of Commons for East Toronto, has introduced a bill to incorporate the Dominion Trust and Loan Company.The title is modess enough, but an examination of the Bill shows that the promoters and their friends are anything but moderate in their demands.They ask Parliament to give them power to \u201c Lease and work railways, elevators, telegraph lines, and to charter boats, and coutract for the building of bridges and telegraph lines, and to contract for the construction and equipment of railways, telegraph lines, and bridges, aad to assist contractors therefor, either by becoming security for the due fulfilment of their contracts, or by advancing the money required as a deposit for the fultilment thereof, or for the carrying on and completing of any contract, and to take and enforce any engagement, security, or pledge taken from any such contractors, and, in fulfilment, to complete any such contract, and to import, deal in, and manufacture railway cars, railway plant, rails, railway ties, and all things used in or required in and about the running or operating of railways ; and to acquire and own and operate railways, telegraph lines, and steamboats, and to take deeds and leases of such parcels of land as may be required or needed in and about any business carried on by them under the powers granted by this Act, and to sell and Jispase of the same; and the Company shall have power and authority to buy and sell, and hold and negotiate bonds, debentures, and all obligations of any municipality, corporation, chartered company, or railway, and to make advances on the security of the same and to guarantee the debentures or bonds of municipalities, and to act as agents for the purpose of issuing or countersigning certificates of stock, bonds, or other obligations of indebtedness of any railway or municipality or other corporate body, and to receive and manage any sinking fund therefor ; and to take, receive, and hold all estates aud property, real and personal, which may be granted, committed, transferred, or conveyed to them with their consent, of or belonging to any corporation, chartered company, or body corporate, by any such corporation, chartered company, or body corporate, or by any court or authority.having power so to du, upon any trust or trusts whatsoever, at auy time or times, and to admister, fulfil, and discharge the duties of such trusts, for such remuneration as may be agreed on, and to act generally as agents or attorneys §or the transaction of busigess,\u201d gramme must be a pretiy clever fellow \u2014a man of grasp of mind and breadth of view.His clients are, no doubt, satisfied with his work ; yet they have reason to complain of several important omissions.Why should they not take power to run our Governments and make our laws?In Ontario pas- sies are pretty evenly divided, and nobody is quits comfortable, politically speaking.Make both Mowat and Meredith go, and allow the all-cinbrac- ing Dominion Trust and Lowa Company to manage the concern.Financially, we are in à terrible mess here in Quebec ;

The Duke of Marlborough, however, continues to receive £4,000 a year, and the Duke of Wellington bas the same amount.Nobedy knows.to what extent the.first Duke of Marlborough was rewarded by: the country, But nearly £500,000 was paid by Parliament for Blenheim, and an even larger sum was voted to purchase and lay out Strathfieldsaye and its estate for the Duke of Wellington.The Duke of St.Albans receives £1,200 a yoar as hereditary Grand Falconer, but this is paid by the Sovereign.Earl Cowper's predecessor in the title received £113,000 as compensation for hereditary pension received by him as heir to the Ban of Bath and to the Lord d'Auverquerque, and less than seven years ago thé Duke of Leeds was given £29,000 as commutation for his pension of £1,080 as one of the heirs to the Duke of Schomberg.The Earls of Kinnoul receive £676 per annum, bus they sold this pension many years ago.However, it will go on being paid till the title becomes extinct.There are several other pensions, but of smaller amounts.Of parliamentary grants we find Colonel Stuart receiving £4,000 a year (granted 1790), as heir of William Penn.Lord Rodney receives £1,000 and Lady Rodney £4,000, which pensions, granted in 1782, are to last as long as there is an heir male of the first nolder of the {itle.Earl of Amherst has rejoiced in £3,000 a year since 1803.This pensien was voted to compensate him for the loss of a grant which had been illegally made by George II.Early Nelson has a pension of £5,000, which is to last as long as the title.The widow of the Admiral received £2,000 a year from 1805 till her death, in 1831.After Trafalgar each of his sisters (three) received £10,000, and £60,000 was voted to purchase the estate in Wiltshire, now known as Trafalgar.In addition to all these Truth states that there are many smaller pensions paid out of the pockets of the people, while there are scores of utterly useless officials, with high-sounding titles, living on the country from year to year.These pensions cannot be swept away in a day, but now that men like Mr.Labouchere and the advanced Liberals have taken the matter up, po doubt the agitation will be continued till an improved condition of affairs shall have been brought about.13 Ev: goNsEQEENCE bf the scarcity of bait fa fidermen of*Ne - England\u2014bysfhe authority of the United States Fish Commission\u2014are now taking cod by the use gill nets, and with excellent results so far as the catches are concerned.A few weeks ago one boat, with tave men apd fish, clearing $40 each.Another caught $1,200 worth in the same way ; while in a third instance, the men made $320 each, inside of six weeks.The saving in the cost of bait is very great.Asaninstance of this it is stated that the average bait bill of a shore trawler would not be less than $150 to*$200 per month.Therefure, it is sate to estimate that when such such a large force is employed iu gill nict- r ting as there has been this winter the LD, AND DAIT send PP oo | amount Laan in Hotne aisl go hyme tloumselves, | and charter this company of patriegs Mr.Laboucheze% \u2018 advanced views landed him | chere\u2019s latest assaults haye been\u2018 He is specially inion whic , if realized, will be great, seven nets, took 5,000 pounds of large | IIR X ed otherwise mnt he paid for baît, cannot be less than =30,000 tu 240,000, \u201cAll thi may be true: bat] he question arises, is not this gill net fishing likely to destroy many good grounds! Through their own recklessness the American fishermen have depleted some of thuir grounds to such an extent as to make them comparatively worthless.That is why they made the treaty with us for the use of our waters.Should they continue the use of gill nets, the chances are, that they will, before long, destroy whatever good grounds they have left ; and thus, with the treaty abrogated, they will resort to the old game of poaching in our waters, and thus proh- ably bring about serious international troubles, \u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 .THEY have heard of Wiggins over in England, and they do not appear to take much stock in his prophecies.A few weeks ago a ship owner at Ramsgate wrote to the Meteorological Oftice, London, touching the predicted storms, and received the following reply \u2014\u201c The prophecy to which you allude emanates from some mau in the Finance Department of the Canadian Government.It Is utter nonsense, No living man can predict the Weather two days beforehand, much less six months, The idea that the Admiralty have ordered ships to be in port is also absurd and utterly false.\u201d Notwithstanding this want of faith, they had a terrible storm in England a couple of days ago, and Mr.Wiggins says that it was the first instalment of the general smash- up that is due to-day.By-the-by, though there has been very bad weather east and.west the great big hurricane had not arrived at the time of writing.i A REVIVAL of the imposts provided by the old fashioned corn laws is urged in some parts of the Mother Country, it being contended that if there was a duty on wheat of five shillings it would not raise the cost of food for a man, wife, and four children, more than thirty shillings a year.Farmers then, could pay three shillings a week more wsges when making a fair profit on.sheir wheat, labourers would get 140 shillings at an Sutlay ef thirty shillings, and the corn tax would, it is held be a blessing.WE publish in another column an interesting and well written article on the subject of that most interesting topic, the Canadian North-West.The writer, who is wonderfully at home when treating of this country, describes the remarkable and rapid progress that has recently been made, and predicts a future for the Doindeed.New York has a total population of 1,206,290, of which 478,670 are foreigners, or nearly

the end of the present session and which may require re-enactment are the Act for the better prevention of crimes of violence in certain parts of Canada, and the Act respecting administration of criminal justice in territory in dispute between the Government of Ontario and of the Domiaion.Hon.Senator Pelletier purposes making inquiries regarding the retwn, if auy, received by the Canadian public for large subsidies voted to the Brazilian Steamship Line, and will move for a return of each trip made between Canada and Brazil by the \u201c Societie Postal de l\u2019Atlanti ue,\u201d according to the contract with the Canadian and Brazilian Governments, with the following statements to 1st February, 1883.name of the steamer, owner or charterer, tonnage, accommodation for passengers, number of passengers from each port and their destination, accommodation for freight, gross quantities and nature of freight from each port and destinations, freight and passenger rates paid, day of departure appointed by the Canadian Government and the day of sailing, the amount of mails carried, the penalty vaid for delay or paid by Brazil, the number of days required forthe single and relative trips, also all correspondence between the Canadian Government and the Company, referring to the present suspension of the service and an increased subsidy, also, with reference to a subsidy for a regular service between France and Canada.The select Committee appointed to examine and report upon Mr.Casgrain\u2019s bill to suppress contract broking met this morning and passed all the clauses, except one by which it is proposed to make contractors or intending contractors liable to punishment for furnishing money for election purposes.To such a provision Messrs, Rykert, Tupper, of Picton, and Amyot strongly objected and the Committee adjourned for a few days to consider the matter, Mr.Casgrain proposed to enact that \u201cany contractor furnishing money for election purposes shall be liable to a penalty of not less than one thousand ollars, together with imprisonment for a term of not less than one month and not mere than twelve months.\u201d Among the petitions presented to-day was that of Grand Orange Lodge of Prince Edward Island, praying that the Orange incorporation val, soon to come before Parliament, may be passed.Similar petitions were presented from the Grand Lodge of Eastern Ontario, the Orange Association of British North America and the Grand Lodge of New Brunswick.The latter petition was presented by Mr.White, of Cardwell, and the others by Messrs.Tyrwhitt and Beatty.The Shearer Scheme bill was introduced to-day.The incorporators are Lord John Manners, Hon.À.W.Ogilvie, Hon.L.R.Church, Jas.Shearer, Wm, Angus, W.T.Costigan, Lieut.-Colonel DeMontenach, John McGillis, M.J.F.Quinn, Geo.¥.Miles, F.F.Bateman and Robt.Denny.The capital stock of the company is fixed at three and a half millions of dollars.To-day & petition was presented, showing that on the 12th July, 1882, Hou.Hector Fabre was eilgaged as Government agent at Paris, for a period not exceeding three years, at $2,000 per annum, payable monthly.Mr.N.F.Davin was, on 11th December last paid $238 for \u201cextra service: \u201d in connection with the Pacific Railway Commission.Messrs.Lukes and Blakely received five dollars a day and expenses for their services in pro curing information respecting factory labour.Fifty copies of Dr.Hurlbert\u2019 work on \u201cProtection and Free Trade\u201d were purchased, £150 sterling were paid on account of the Alspy Day affair and £4,075 to the Prince Edward Island Government for the maintenance of prisoners, the whole being charged to \u201c Unforeseen Expenses.\u201d The total revenue derived from the Intercolonial Railway in the last six months of 1882 was §1,206,289 against $1,016,352 in the same period of 1881, and $917,384 for 1880, The total expensas not charged to capital were $1,274,113 against $1,057,903 and $891,155 in the last six months of 1881 and 1880 respectively.The total value of rolling stock purchased for the Intercolonis Railway in 1582 was $559,970 while two conductors vans, six box cars, cleven cattle cars and 35 platform cars were built in the Government workshops.The gentlemen who ave asking power to build a railway from Quebec to James\u2019 Bay arc Messrs.Michael Wm, Baby, Wm.Sharples, Jean Baptiste Renaud, Alex.Luders Light, Pierre A.Deblois, Hy.Judah, John Sharples, Alex.Lemoine, Jas.Bell Forsyth, and Sir Narcisse Fortunat Belleau, K.C.M.G.Mr.Caturdal has given notice of a bill to limit the rate of interest throughout Canada to six per cent.It is now believed that the Budget speech will not be delivered before uesday next.The second reading of Mr.MeCarthy\u2019s railway commission bill was reached today, but it was easy to see that the opinion of the House was decidedly adverse to the adoption of the principle of the bill.The bill was referred to the stanaing committee on railways.While disclaiming any intention of opposing the bill, Sir Chas.Tupper argued strongly against it, and Mr.McKenzie considered the whole scheme impractleable.Mr.Sproule hinted very broadly: that Mr.cCarthy was not sincere in pressing the matter, but was merely endeavoring to gain cheap popularity by pandering to certain prejudices against railway companies.This Mr, McCarthy denied, and said Sir John\u2019s offer to refer the matter to the committee relieved him of further responsibilily, which would now devolve on the Premier.It is not likely the bill will come before the House again, Mr.Jolin Bell, Solicitor of the G.T.R.Co., has prepared a circular letter, in which the principal oh- jections to the appointments of a railway court are clearly set forth.Mr.Beil points out that as carly as 1851 measures for regulation of railway rates were adopted Ly the Canadian Parliament, and thas every by-law of any company fixing tolls was subject to revision by the Gover- nor-in-Couneil.Section 22 of the Act of 1851 stipulates that the Provincial Logislature may, from tie to time, reduce che tolls on railways, hut not without the consent of the company, or so as to produce less than fifteen per cent profit on the capital actually expended in construetion, nov unless an extnetion mule by tl Commissioner of Public Works of ti amount received and expended hy the company\u2019s net income from all soure- for the year than last past, should hav.CLE.R, chartes, and by the Consolidated Rulwav Ac, INT, Was mad to apply to every railway under the juii - diction of the Dominion Parliament.\u2018These provisions are also contained in the Ontariv Railway Act and in the Quebec Railway Act, and every charter granted Ly these local legislatures contains the same provision, but substit ting the Lt.- Governors in-council, aud the local legislatures in each case as the revising autlior- ity.Mr.McCarthy*s bill proposed to re- pea all this and place the control uf all railways in the hands of three irre-p m- ! sible men in direct violation of the sta ute under which the several railways were built and their securities sold.The effect of such a piece of legislation caunot but prove injurious.There is not a railway in Canada, whose net receipts, amount to 15 per cent.ou the actual capital expended 11 construction and at present rates, or rates that have heen in force for 15 years, there is not a company in Canada whose net carnings will ever reach that percentage.Mr.Bell submits therefore that as Parliament has enacted and reenacted these provisions four times and such enactments having been acted upon in good faith the passage of such a measure as that introduced by Mr.Me- Carthy would not be keeping faith with those holding railway securities, PROGRESS IN NORTH-WEST CANADA.From the London Globe.A good deal has been heard of late in this country with regard to the stream of emigration to British North America, and the development of Manitoba and the Canadian North-West.But perhaps, after all, very few Englishmen have auy accurate notion of the great progress that has been and is being made in those re gions, or of its real significance both to the Dominion and to the mother country.The matter 1g, in truth, of great momeut.No doubt there is a local tendency to.take an exaggerated view of it, and to inuulge in the hyberbole and tall talk which seem to tind their natural home on the oth.r side of the Atlantic.But, considered quite impartially and without local feeling, there are facts and figures enough to show that Canada has reached what bids fair to rove a most important turning point in its history.For an immense stride onward was taken last year, and, though the present pace may not be always maintained, it is manifested that the opening up of CANADA\u2019S HITHERTO UNDEVELOPED INTERIOR Is no longer a vision of the future.It is, on the contrary, fast becoming an accomplished fact, calculated to have:a vast ing fluence upon the welfare of the Dominion, and upon the growth of British commerce and the prospects of British agriculture, The best confirmation of these statement will be found in a hasty glance at what ha, taken place during the last twelve months.In the first place.the Dominion authorities assert that nearly 50,000 fresh settlers arrived in Manitoba and the North-West between January and December, 1882.Roughly speaking, one-fourth are said to be Europeaus, one-fifth came from the United States, and the remainder from the older parts of Canada.And it is estimated that these people brought with them some two millions sterling of capital.The labour and capital these figures represented were of course very soon brought to bear on the development of the natural resources of the country.To use the American phrase A GREAT BOOM IN LAND was the first and most obvious result.Extengive and sometimes very reckless speculation sprang up, and much excitement prevailed.But after a time the JSurore calmed down, and when the inevitable reaction had come and had spent itself, business assumed a steadier and healthier character, though its growth continued to be marvellous 1n its rapidity.The Canadian Pacific Railway alone 1s said to have di-pôsed of a million and a half acres tor homesteads and town-lots in the course of the year.realising for them some £500,000.These figures, it might be stated, do not include the five willion acres sold by the satue comhauy to the Canadian North-West Land Company, of which the Duke of Manchester was the original president.Independently of this, however, if we add the purchases made by the settlers from the Dominion Goverument\u2014which, of course, is -the largest landowner in this immense region\u2014from the Hudson\u2019s Bay Company and from private speculators, it is probably not too much to say that nearly TWO MILLION ACRES CHANGED HANDS during the period in question.Another rather interesting fact throws some light on this point.There are in Manitoba at the present time no fewer than twelve loan companies from which settlers can obtain advances on their newly-acquired property ; and, without taking init ac count the business done by private firms and individuals, these conipanies advanced a million and à half sterling during the year.Going one step further, valuable corroborative testimony is afforded by the history of Winnipeg for 1582.This city is the capital of Manitoba, and from its natural position and its means of communication has necessarily become_the great centre and emporium of the North-West.Twelve months ago its population was 12,000.On December 31 it was estimated at nearly 30,000.In 1881 the real estate was assessed at $9,000,000.It is now put down ut $21,000,000.Its foreign imports have quadrupled in the same period\u2014a fact in it-elfof some importance to Great Britain, since half its trade is with this country.A million sterling is spent on new buildings, private and public, in the year, and, as the place will probably always remain the great distributing point bejween the East and the North-West, Winnipeg almost promises to prove \" A SECOND), IF SOMEWHAT SMALLER, CHICAGO Additional statistics are hardly necessary.It is more interesting to inquire what .is the secret of this rapid development.In some measure it must be attributed tothe increased energy and enterprise showu by the Canadian Government of late years in spreading abroad a knowledge of the country, and in ¢ pushing emigration by various means.There may be good justification for the suspicion with which emigration ageuts and the state ments they put forth are often regarded.But, ou the other hand, it is obvious enough thay intending emigrants are not likely to think of settlicg in a conutry when they practically kuow nothing definitely as Lo either it< advantages or its disadvantages.The Dominion authorities have recently shown a good deal of zeal in this direction, and have also done their best, apparently, to convince the public that they are not depicting a sterile desert as a land of promise; and their exertions have borne good fruit.Auother ands till more potent force hus, however been at work, and has specially made its influence felt within the last vear.For the Canadian North-West would have =till practically been ow lerra \u2018eoinit hal it not been for the REMARKABLE EXTENSION of the Canalian Pacific Railway.When the Dominion Government coniræ \u20181 tvo years uo with a powerful synlvate for the contraction and working of ti3 line their political opponents in lulged without quarters, alone en fully show how far this eriti- civ œut these autaeks are well funded.Bat tas mtteh, at leust, 15 çértiun : the line, so far as it is yet built, has worked marvels in the development of the country.Progress has been made with it at a speed that has exceeded all anticipations.\u201cThe main line has now been carried to a point some six hundred wiles west of Winnipeg.In the course of the present year it will Le continued three hundred miles further.The main line between Montreal and Winnipeg 1s notvet complete, but aver seven hundred miles have been built Ly the Company, or acquired by it from the Government; between Winnipeg and Thunder Bay, on Lake Superior, communication wiil shortly be established, and a line of steamships will be in operation next vear on the lakes by which AN ALL CANADIAN ROCTE to the North-West will be obtained.In all, at the present time, the company has over 1,700 miles of line, fully equipped and in running order, and it is officially stated that before the end of next Augnst its track will extend for more than 2,000 miles.Last year it is said tu have carried 25,000 passengers.and to have expended in the construction of its wain line, branches, and workshops, as much as tive millions sterling.A work of this character could not but be productive of immense consequences, It has enabled the settler to get into the heart of the country; it has taken supplies practically to his doors; it has kept him in direct and constant intercourse with the rest of the world ; above all, it has given him facilities for finding a ready market for the products of his industry and the fertile soil he cultivates.It can scarcely be incorrect, therefore, to ascribe to this audertaking the larger share of the change that has been brought about.Upon THE MAGNITUDE OF THIS CHANGE no more need be said, but there are one or two points connected with the Canadian North-West whieh have been brought into greater prominence by the experiendes of the past twelve mouths.For instance, it has been a prevalent belief among many Englishmen that in Manitoba itself 1s really comprised the whole of the North- West in which agriculture is a profitable pursuit, But every day shows more aud more plainly that this is not the case.Simultaneously with the progress of the new railway, settlers have gone further and further westward, have been satistied with the outlook have established themselves along the line of route and have rospered.The new province of Assiniboia as been formed, and Regina chosen as its capital.The Saskatchewan district is being thoroughly explored aud gradaally colonized, and a glance at the map will show that each of these regions almost equals Manitoba in area.Moreover, THE GRAIN-GROWING DISTRICTS are proving to be far less limited than was at first supposed.Only a week or two ago samples were received in London of excellent wheat grown at one of the Huu} son\u2019s Bay Company\u2019s posts, over a thou sand miles north-west of Winnipeg, and this is not an isolated instance.A better idea, too, is being gained of the mineral wealth of the country.Six companies have been formed for*goid\u2014mining in the vicinity of the Lake of the Woods, northeast of the Manitoba capital.One consists altogether of New York capitalists, and possasses a capital of two million dollars.A second, the Winnipeg Consolidated Gold Mining Company, with a capital of half the amount just mentioned, may also be named.Similarly with regard to the coal deposits more accurate knowledge is being obtained.The Canadian Pacitic Railway now estimate that the coal beds adjoining the route to their line occupy an area of 40,000 square miles, and they assess the PRUBABLE PRODUCT OF FOUR of the chief mines at TWENTY-FOUR MILLION TONS.One geologist, Dr.Dawson, who has given some attention to the subject, declares that the coal is superior to any to be found on the European continent.Lastly, a number of cattle ranches Lave been start$ ed in the extreme west, at the base of the Rocky Mountains, and a business whieh has long flourished in the Western States across the boundary seems likely to obtain à firm footing in the Dominion.In short, appearances go far to justify the belief that the Canadian North-West is now passing through the initial stage of a development which must ultimately result in the form ation of new provinces in the Dominion confederation as populous and thriving as any of the wealthy States of the United States.The land, indeed, is not of one uniform richness and fertility.The climate is not perfect.And, as elsewhere.settlers find that they must face some difficulties and put up with some temporary hardships.But hundreds of successful and prosperous farmers are already established there, whose experiences form the best testimony of the advantages possessed by the country.And, in the interests of both Canada and the mother country, 1t is to be hoped that the future of this land of plenty will prove as auspicious as it now promises to be.ANSWER THIS, Can you find a case of Bright's Discase of

Mr.WHITE [Renfrew], in introducing a bill to amend the Consolidated Railway chy 1879, sald \u2018the \u2018object of the bill was to provide that railway companies shall be liable for damage dene to cattle owing to want of fencing, whether notice has been given to the company of the necessity for feneing of not.£ v { d'Aix RUESMQNS.LS 4 Mr.YEQ asked whether theafiovgen- Bac bad yet oftained o itera the con templated Post Office and Custom House building in Summerside, Prince Edward Island, and if so, where situated, from whom purchased and at what price.SIR H.LANGEVIN said a lot had been urçhased at the corner of Fitzroy and ummer streets, measuring 137 by 61 feet rom Richard Hunt for $693.In reply to Mr.CAMERON, Huron, Sir OHN MACDONALD said the adjourned ebate on the double return from King\u2019s, .E.IL, would be made the first order of i he day to-morrow.% THE RAILWAY COMMISSIONERS BILL.| Mr.McCARTHY, in moving the second greading of the bill constituting a Court of ilway Commissioners for Canada and to amend the Consolidated Railway Act, 1879, said the bill provided for the appointment of three Commissioners, whose ter of office would be similar to that of judges.One of them would be a lawyer one a practical railway man, and the third a man of common sense.(Laughter).The powers of the Commissioners were largely taken from the laws of England, where a similar Court had been in existence since 1874 He believed such a Court absolutely necessary, because there were laws which enacted that railway companies should act fairly towards.the public, yet practically these laws were dead letters, for ther were no means of forcing railway companies to carry out the provisions of their charter.There \"was hardly a locality that Had uot good grounds of complaint against companies for discriminating agæinôt them in rates or otherwise acting iq an injurious manner towards them.It Was the same with individuals as localitles- The companies discriminated in favour of those persons who were able to hold out some advantage to them to do so.He then entered into the history of various steps that had been - taken in England to remedy this state of: affaird in that country and which résulted in the establishment of a permanent Court of Commissioners somewha( similar to that which the bill proposed to establish.He firmly believed such a Court was necessary for Canada.It was urged by some that as our roads had to enter into competition with American roads a Court of this kind would handicap them, but, in reply to this, he would say that the Commissioners could deal fairly with through freights without injuring our railways.It was also urged that we could not get men to act as Commissionegs who would be above suspicion, but he did not think there was any force in this, for if we could get upright judges, so we could also get railway commissioners of such untmproachable character that they would not be open to suspicion of being subject to financial influ- emces.! With regard to the objection that = th@Court would be expensive, he was of > opinion the cost of it would be nothing as compared with the amount that would be saved to the publie by its establishment.Sir C.TUPPER said his honourable friend would see that if 50 great diffioulties had been encountered in dealing with this question in England, how immeasurably greater would they be in Canada.In this country the railway system was entirely different, as our roads entered into competition with lines across the border and all that might be accomplished by the proposed court would be to impair the usefulness of the roads for carrying on our business.There was no institution in Canada in which so much foreign capital had been invested and with so great advantage to us as on railways, in fact the railway business of Canada was bein, done by foreigners who receiv no return, and such a hasty, incautious and ill-advised, although well meant measure, might be fraught with many evil consequences.Besides he desired to point out that Parliament had not power to legislate with regard to all the railways of the Dominion, as mauy of them were within the control of the Local Legislatures.Foreign capitalists having done so much by railway construction for Canadd, we should very carefully consider any measure that might look like breach of faith with them.He did not wish to be understood as opposing the bill, but he thought it should be examined with the most careful deliberation, and he would suggest that it be referred to the Committee on Railways and Canals, when all parties interested could be heard.Mr.ORTON said that grievous wrongs had been committed by the railway com panies towards the people of the Dominion, acking:Company arts of the country for legislation of this sind.The Provincial Parliament had tried to remedy this evil by granting privileges to opposition lines, but what was the result?Why these various lines had been directly absorbed by the great railway corporations, and natlers were as bad as before.He referred to the complaint which had Leen made by the traders of Winnipegland the towns and villages of the North-West and he thought there was just ground for a cry against the treatment which they had been subject to, although it generally turned out to be a fault in the officers «t the line, without the knowledge of the Manager.The question at any rate was important and he hoped it would Le fully discussed by the House.Mr.SPROULE spoke in favour of the Bill and said that in the States of the Union bordering on Canada, where they had Railways competing with Canadian road they had Conimissioners similar to those proposed in Mr.McCarthy\u2019s Bill.Mr.CASGRAIN did not see the necessity for increasing the Courte of te country.Iftlree or four citizens were ap pointed as Commissioners they must necessarily be business men, and consequently this Court would not be vested with the dignity nor would their decisions carry so much weight as the Courts for administration of justice, in which the country had the fullest confidence.Mr.CAMERON (Huron), said thata reference to the Committee on Railways would practically be an end to the Bill, the Committee being composed of fully one half of Members of Parliament.He would favour the Bill being referred to a iSelect Committee.He did not agree with the Hon.Minister of Railways that the bill undertook to deal with railways over which the Dominion Parliament had no jurisdiction, for although the Provincial legislatures had power to incorporate.railway companies, the sole wer to regulate their trade and commerce\u2019 able consideration of the House, as he was! -quite gure it would be favorably reccived by the country.: Mr.TUPPER [Pictou] said that Mr.McCarthy laid great stress upon the fact that in 1874 the Parliament \u2018of Great Britain had passed à mueasute Wmilar to the one proposed by him, but he [Mr.Tupper] thought the history of that bill afforded an argument against Mr.Me- Carthy\u2019s bill.He believed that the railway system of this country should be encouraged, and he considered that this bill wag fraught with danger of discouraging that.enterprise.The fact that they were, 23 years agitating this question in a country: that was enjoying a net work of railways showed (hat there was a disposition there not to lay a strong hand updn such railways as were established there.Coming as he did from a Province that had not too many railways, and coming from a centre that desired as many railways a8 pessible,\u2019 he believed they were not in a position for: such legislation as proposed in the bill.\u2018 * Mr.BLAKE said it was quite clear that this measure would not make substantial progress, unless it was referred to u select: Committee and in his opinion this Committee ought to sthnmon before it represen-' tatives of the great railway corporations and, call upon them for their statement of the: objectiofis against the passing of this billy as weil as to summon those who had any special grievance against the railway companies, so that they might get to the bottom of the difficulties attending it and consider the best means of remedying them.The country was now under the control of oneor two great railway corporation.One railway company after another had betn incorporated in his own Province with a view ta get competition but without avail.There were many Provinces extremely desirous of obtaining railways and they did not want to frighten them away, but he believed that proper legislation would not frighten away railway en- terprires.After having heard both sides of the question they would be able to frame a measure that would do justice to alt parties.Mr.MACKENZIE said no Court of Railway Commissioners would be satisfactory which would not embrace the entire-railway system of the country, and unless the Government were willing to place their railways under this Court, they should vote against this measure.For his own part he thought it would be altogether impracticable, and the institution of such a Commission, which could not possibly know much about railways, would be, to a great extent, ruinous to railway interests.His own experience in the Intercolonial Railway showed that it was quite impossible to carry out the system of pro raig charges all along the line.There were, ne doubt, grievances to be redressed, and while he was ready to consider any scheme to remove actual grievances, he was bound to come to the conclusion that that bill could not be practically carried out.Mr.HAGGART said they only wanted fair administration, and he did not think the objections which he had heard shoul have any weight, as the system secmed to be favourably considered.Mr.MITCHELL thought some 1eagure should be adopted to prevent the wholesale slaughter, by railways, of the country.People were being continually killed, and he held that the Government were, in some measure, responsible for this.He wag not prepared to support the Bill, but he woald support its reference to a select Committ ee Mr.CARLTON, replying to Mr.Mitchell, said they had great reason for cou gratulation with regard to the management of our great railway lines, aud he for one would fisclaim this unjust attack on the railways of the country.Sir JOHN MACDONALD said the bill affected the rights of railway corporations and also the whole trade and commerce of the country.The question had been before Parliament year after year.They had a railway commissiowr working in Kugland, and they had a similar body working In the United states, yet at the same time all must feel the great weight to be given to the warnings which had proceeded from bis hon.friend, the Minister of Railways.He would recommend that the bill be re ferred to the Standing Committee on Rail ways, and he thought it was only by refer ring à to this Committee that his lon.friend had a reasonable ro-pect of getting the bill through arflament this year.They had for many years been in advance df English legislation, and especially last year by the establishment of grand committees where matters of this kind could Le freely and fairly discussed.He quite agreed with his hen.friend the leader of the Opposition that parties represen&n railway interests, as wel ag private citizens, should be heard Lefore the committee, which could not he done in the House.He would assure his hon.friend that he would have ample opportunity even on Government days vf bringing in his report He felt that there was an earnest desire on the part of the people of certain large sections in the country fur some legislation of this kind.NR ream Lio AM DLEG Mr.MCCARTHY Yiclded with, great see luctance to sending the bill to the large committee on railways.He was afraid it would not be able to make much advancement.There was both inside and outside of the House very strong opposition to the bill, but if the principle were admitted he thought the bill should be accepted or sent to à select committee.He would leave the vsponsibility of sending it to the commit- ée on railways on the First Minister- + and there was a cry from traders in all elonged to the Dominion Parliament.He |\" thought the bill should receive the favor- WATT ME NTREANT ER VIT The bill was read a second time and re- | ferred to the committee on Railways, Canals and Telegraph Lines.The House adjourned at 5.55 p.m.PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEES.The Committee on Banking aud Commerce met this morning and considered the bill to incorporate the Manitoba and North-Western Insurance Company.Some discussion took place on the bill, and several amendments were made following in the line adopted by the last Parliament.Clause 11 was amended to the effect that the company should not commence business until not less that $100,000 of capital stock had been actually paid in, and clause 22, giving power tu amalgamate with another company.was struck out.Several other minor amendments were also made.The bill respecting the Credit Foncier Franco-Canadian was next taken up and passed without amendment.The special committee appointed to consider Mr.Casgrain\u2019s bill for the better prevention of fraud in relation to contracts involving the expenditure of public money also met this morning, and, after discussing several

certain day.Mr.Coyle stated that he and his associate, Mr.Corneillier, were ready to proceed with the trial at once, and that the defence was ready for to-morrow, or Monday or Tuesday next.Mr, Coyle stated that if the Crown delayed the trial beyond that date he would be obliged to withdraw from the case, as he would be out of town for some days on urgent businese.His Honor stated that the prisoner would be brought before the Court to-morrow morning, when a day would be finally fixed for this trial.ARRAIGNMENT.Vital Baignet and Joseph Garripey, charged with larceny; Baignet pleaded guilty, and Garripey, when arraigned, pleaded not guilty.LARCENY.Francis Jute was then placed at the bar, charged with stealing two hammers and one iron shovel, the property of the Government on the 24th of February last.Tt appeared that on the date in question the gouds were missed from the office of the nspector of Weights and Measures, and were afterwards found in the possession of the prisoner.The prisoner conducted his own defence, and stated to the jury that the shovel and haminers were given to him to sell by two young men whom he did not know and who met him on the street.He said he had served 22 years in the British army and had always borne a good character.His Honor charged strongly against the prisoner.The jury, after an absence of one hour, returned a verdict of guilty.RECEIVING STOLEN GOODS.Joseph Gagnon was placed at the bar, charged with receiving stolen goods, knowing them to have been stolen, the said goods being the property of Mr.I.A.Beauvais, merchant tailor of St.Joseph street.The articles consisted of a large number of pants, silk handkerchiefs, scarfs, gloves, neckties, &c., the whole valued at $412.The prisoner was defended by Mr.H.C.St.Pierre.Mr.I.A.Beauvais said that towards the end of last year he suspected that some of his goods were being stolen by some of his employees, and in December last he placed the matter in the Lands of Detective Fahey, who subsequently arrested a young clerk named Isaac Bertrand, whe confessed that he had stolen the articles and sold them to the prisoner, who kept a second-hand store on Notre Dame street west.The goods were stolen in small lots a time, so articles were miissed.Mr.Beauvais recognized the clothinz produced in Court as his property.Isaie Bertrand said he was in the employ of Mr.Beauvais in the month of November last ; witness stole during a period of two months about forty pairs of pants, which he sold to the prisoner; he identitied all the clothing produced m Court as having been stolen from his late master whose property it was; in addition there were also three coats and a number of pairs of gloves, sashes and a number of Sunday effects (new) which witneas swore he stole from the establishment of Beauvais, Witness had been in the employ of the prosceutor for two mouths before his arrest for having stolen the goods in question.Clovi- Belmure, in the cmploy of Mr.Beauvais, Zephoni Martin and Detective Fahey were also examined for the prose cution.Thomas Grennont was called for the defence and gave evidence to the effect that Bertaand told the prisoner that he (Bertrand) had stolen the goods.Mr.St.Pierre was also examined for the defence.; Mr.Ouimet having addressed the jury for the Crown, His Honour charged strongly against the prisoner, and the jury, after a short deliberation returned a verdict of « Guilty.\u201d GRAND JURY\u2019S PRESENTMENT.The Grand Jury came into Court at four o'clock and announced the following TUCK

the vie of the Grand Jury to the Mout.a: gaol.The presentment set forth that the number of male prisoners confined in |e gaol was 157 and of females, woman Catholics 162, Protestants 29.The Grand Jury found in goal a number of funatics who had undergone medical examination and who were awaiting orders to be transferre [ to the asylum.They expressed their admiration of the cleanliness, neatness aud excellent sanitary arrangements of the male and female prisons which they have visited.They also wished to call attention to the case of Egan, who lad been detained for over three months for in- =anity and also to that of Grece, who presented to them and to the attendants no signs of insunity and who had not even been examined by the doctor, as it was explained that it was customary, for the doctor\u2019s convenience, to wait until there were two or three cases to be examined at the same time.They urged that all such cases should be immediately attended to, so that those who were not insane might not bie unjustly detained, and those who were might be placed at once under the circumstances most suited to their recovery.The Grand Jury also returned thanks to His Honour for the lucid explanation which he had made to them of their duties, and expressed their appreciation of the courtesy with which they had been treated by the officials of the Court and of the gaol.Reference was furthermore made to the fact that many of the erimes which had been brought to their attention had apparently been caused by drink, and a hope was expressed that ere long better means would be put into operation for regulating the traffic in intoxicating liquors.His Honour, in thanking the jurors.fqr the manner in which they had performed their duties, promised that the suggestions made by them with respect to [unatics awaiting examination should have his best attention with a view to bringing about the required improvements.The Grand Jury were theu discharged.Joseph Lamontagne and Alfred Prevost then underwent trial on a charge of stealing a coat, and, after trial, were found guilty.The Court then adjourned.THE McCREADY-SEATH CASE.CONCLUSION OF THE CASE IN COURT.The case of the Union Bank of Lower Canada azainst Robt.McCready, was concluded yesterday, before Hon.Justice Rainville.Mr.Elliott, Manager of the Molsons Bank, on being examined testified that he thought the signature to the note sued pu was that of the defendant Robt.cCready.In cross-examination he stated that Le would not pndertake to swear that the signature to the note sued upon was that of the defendant.Mr.Nash, of the Union Bank, said that he had discounted the note for Seath believing it to be a genuine note of Robt.McCready\u2019s.Mr.Booth, bookkeeper to Mr.McCready, testified for the defence that in September last, Seath had admitted to him that he had forged $10,000 worth of McCready\u2019s paper.The note sued upon in this case was among the forgeries.itness swore positively that the signature to the note sued on was not McCready\u2019s.Mr.Booth was yesterday morning cross- examined by the Bank\u2019s Counsel with reference to his knowledge of McCready\u2019s signature.He said there were peculiarities about the defendant\u2019s signature which would probably be overlooked by one not intimately acquainted with it, but which he could always detect.A stranger, for example, might in some of McCready\u2019s signatures not observe the \u201cd\u201d owing to the manner in which it was written.He signed his name usually \u201c McCready\u201d and witness could always make out all the component letters.Other people might, however, take it for \u201c McCredy\u201d in some of them owing to a characteristic indistinctness of the * a.\u201d Witness, however, had never done so.As a rule also there were two small dots under thegmall ¢ of the \u201cMe\u201d; in fact, he did not remember ever seeing tlie signature without it.Witness was shown anumber of notes which he recognized as being signed by Mr.Mec- Cready.Witness first became aware of the accommodation notes given by Mr.McCready to Mr.Seath some months ago.Witness then continued that when the note on which the action was taken was presented, lie went to the Union Bank and told Mr.Nash that it was a forgery.That gentleman appeared to be much disturbed by the news.Finding that Seath was at Mr.Mc- Cready\u2019s office he hurried there at once and liad an interview with Seath and Mc- Cready.Witness did not know what passed.When Mr.Nash left the office Mr.McCready came to\u2019 witness and told him that Seath had admitted the forgery and requested witness to go with him into hie private office where Seath then.was and hear what he had to say.Witness accompanied his employee Into the office and saw Seath there, with his head hanging down and apparently much agitated.Mr.McCready said, \u201cTell Booth what vou have just told me.\u201d Seath, however, replied that the subject of this conversation was private business and would not admit anything to him.Witness, on being shown the note sued upon, swore that the signature was not Mr.McCready\u2019s.He swore positively that the signature in question was a forgery.The signatures to the other accommodation notes produced were also forgeries, George Troutbeck, the next witness called, stated that he knew Mr.McCready.Had been in his service for seven years, from 1870 to 1877.He often saw his signature and was perfectly familiar with it.Had frequently seen it since he had left his employ.Being shown the note sued on he Liated that it was a forgery.pr Uross-examined by Mr.Cramp: Could not swear that the note sued un was signed by Mr.McCready.It was a forgery.Being shown other notes witness identified them\u2019 as being\u2019 genuine and four others forgeries.\u2019 Dr.J.Baker Edwards was then subjected to u lengthy examination, in\u2019 the course of which he stated that he had examined about 250 notes given him oo genuine notes of eget eCready.Several of he exkävied veay carefully undef microscope, in all he had obsérved certain general uniform characteristics.In the note sued upon many of these characteristics were wanting, and witness was of opinion that the note in 1 question did not bear the genuine signature of Robert McCready.Witness had also examined four other notes fyled by Mr.Seath, and he was also of opinion that these did not bear the genuine signature of Robert McCready.AFTER RECESS.Messgs.M.C.Mullarky, Antoine Gougouin, Jame- McCready und Hugh Me- Gready were examined, and all testified to the effect shat the note sued upon was not genuine.At the conclusion of the evidence Messrs, Cramp and W.IT.Kerr, Q.C.\u2026 addressed the Court on behalf of the plain- tifls, the Luter dwelling upon what he testimony.Mr.J.S Hall, jr., then rose w aldress .| the Court on behalf of the defendant, Mr.| Bobt.McCready, but Hon.Justice Rainville, interrupting, said that he would follow the tule of the Privy Council and dispense with any state ment for the defen-e.He hed listened with great care and paid the utmost attention to the case during three days, and of all such cases thst had come before him there was never, he thought, one more clear than this.He would, however, take the record before him and render judgment in a few days.The Court theu adjourned.MONTREAL POULTRY AND PET STOCK ASSOCIATION.ANNUAL MEETING.The annual neeting of the Montreal Poultry and Pet Stock Association was held ast evening in the Mechanics\u201d Hall, The President, Mr.J.F.Scriver, occupied the Chair, and there was a large attendance of members.The minutes of the last annual meeting were read and conformed.report as follows: \u2014 The history of the past year has again demonstrated the fact that the receipts of our Exhibition are inadequate t» pay the expenses incurred and prize money offered Various reasons have been ascribed in the past to account for such a state of affairs,\u2019 and your Executive, in preparing for our late show, did their utmost to remedy any defects of the past.The Mechanics\u2019 Hall was engaged as being the best in the city for holding the show.Separate judges for the poultry and pigeons were secu Insteau of prize tickets, as formerly, diplomas were offered, and the bi were shown singly.Carnival week was selected as the best date to hold the Exhibition, as the city was expected to be crowded with visitors at that time.Our expectations were not realized.and again we are unable to pay our prize money in full.Apart from the financial aspect, thig year\u2019s exhibition must be considered the most successful yet held.Better birds are beirg exhibited year ufter year.The entries numbered \u201cover 600, and was the finest collection ever brought \u2018together in this city.Your executive have made applica tion to the Government ate Quebec for a grant to assist the Society in carrying out Its object in this Province, basing their claims on the importance of the interests encouraged by the Society and the sucee:# that has attended their efforts in the past, as well'as the fact that in the Province of Ontario the Pouliry Society get a grant of several hundred dollars from the Govern ment.The thanks of the Society are due to the following gentlemen who have so enerously subscribed to the funds of the ssociation :\u2014Hugh Paton, $10; A.Joyce, $10; R.Camphell, $5; J.G.Savage, $5; C.Gurd, $2; J.F.Scriver, $10; J.H.Cayford, $5; Dg.Nichol, $6; W.Lavers, $5; Dr.Andres, $5; T.Costen, $5; T.Hall, $5 ; and also the following who have

$5; J.Lunn, $6.> The receipts-for.the year were $432.49; the expenditure, $347.60 ; balance on hand, $84.89; amount due not paid, $80.15 ; prize money due, $83.50.After a brief discussion, qn motion of the President, seconded by Di Andres, the report was adopted.\"THE ELECTION OF OFFICERS | was then proceeded with, and resulted as follows :\u2014 President\u2014Dr.Nichol.Vice-Presidents\u2014Messrs.Thos.Costen, Thos.Hall and J.C.Philpot.Secretary-Treasurer \u2014 Mrford.Committee\u2014Messrs.J.F.Scriver, Dr.S.J.Andres, R: Lavers, H.Beckham, W.Lavers, J.Ainslie, W.Cox.R.G.Taylor, Wm.Winfield, A.P.Lyueb, and ÿ R, McLaren.On motion of Mr.J.Ainslie, seconded by Mr.Auld, it was unanimously resolved, «That a vote of thanks be tendered to Dr.Nichol for placing his residence at the disposal of the committee for their meetings during the year.\u201d A unanimous vote of thanks was also assed to Mr.J.H.Cayford, the efficient Secretary, for lis valuable services to the Society.A subscription list was then started to wipe out the indebtedness of the Society, which will be entirely free from debt when the subscriptions are collected.The diplomag won at the Society\u2019s last show, which are very beautiful in design, were laid before the meeting.After some minor businessdlie meeting adjourned.THE SOMMERVILLE LECTURES, CONCLUSION OF THE COURSE.The winter course of Sommerville lectures was brought to a.most successful conclusion last evening with an interesting lecture by Dr.T.Sterry Hunt, L.L.D., F.RS., on \u201cthe geology of the old and new world compared.\u201d Principal Dawson occupied the chair, and there was a good attendance.The able lecturer in à discourse.of about an hour described the geological formations of the old and new world, comparing them, with one another.As Dr.Hunt\u2019s views on this subject are so well known tu tlie geneidl reader it is unnecessary to go into his remarks in detail, sufficient i# it to say that he\" laid his views before his audience in a most interesting and instructive manner, his remarks being listened to with the deepest attention.The Chairman in closing the Sommerville course for tliis season desired to direct the attention of the public to the position of the Natural History Society as the oldest scientific institution with a large membership and à valuable property, and out of debt, ard stated that it would be happy to administer for the benefit of the public other bequests and benefactions for scientific purposes, and more especially for free scientific lectures.The Sommerville course was a great boot to the com: munity, but its value might be largely increased if there were funds sufficient to remwnerate lecturers, ta provide for the expense of experiments and illustrations, and to extend the course of lectures to reater length, so ag_ tp permit more con- ecutive aud full treatment of the subjects taken up.LE 4 w .J.H.Cay- Eppes

schools in his parish, but\u2019 the are too small and need to be enlarged.From his experience the pupils of the Brothers were worthy of occupying any position in Society.The Brothers\u2019 School in his paris particularly needs being enlarged.He does not approve of the present mode of naming the Conumissioners.He believed there should be a Board of five persons elected yearly by the proprietors in each parish.The Board should \u201c | have the =atne powers as the one now >| sitting.lie proprietors should also elect The books, &e., should be audited every six months, aud a meeting of

stated that if the Seminary had not abandoned the schools shere would be no necessity of increasing the tax.He ignored whether the Seminary was able to meet this expenditure or not.The sale vf some of the property of the Board would not meet its wants.The iucreass in taxation was the only means of meeting the wants.If the subsidies to small schools were stopped some of tlie latter couldnot exist.During two vears that he hax been a member of the Board no other means had been advised by the latter to meet the case, He believed there had been extravagance, and but for that the Board would not now be in a financial crisis.The annnal reports published yearly were sufficient to show the position the Board was in.The commission then took recess.AFTER RECESS.Dr.Ed.Desjardins was examined.He stated that lie was in favour of having the primary education under the control of the Christian Brothers m preference to laymen, and this not so much because of the superiority of the system, but because the former was more conducive to the moral education of the children.He was in favour of having parish boards elected by proprietors, to look after matters of education, Mr.L.J.Lajoie, the accountant appointed by the Government to audit the books of the Connnission, then presented his report.Tt was a very lengthy but elaborate work, and covered the financial administration of the Board

AND REFUGE.Owing to the severity of the winter, the Board of Out-door Relief is aguin obliged to appeal to the friends of the poor for help to continue the work.The supply of wood laid in is exhausted, and the Committee finds itself without funds.About $600 will be required to continue the work to the end of the season.Will the kind friends who have hitherto sustained the work come to the

Mr.Biggar and Mr.Parnell as trustees of the Land League fund have not accounted for £152,000.She declares while this money is unaccounted for, Mr, Parnell and his followers have no right to mock the

who for a long time have been suspected of connection with the murder conspiracy.A Judge's Opinion.Judge Johnson, opening the Sligo Assizes, congratulated the jury on the diminution of agrarian crime.1000 The Kilmainham Treaty, In the House of Commons Mr.Gladstone declined to give a day for the discussion of the Kilmainham treaty no- gotiations.Sir S.Northcote said he would not proceed further in the matter.The inferences to be drawn from the declaration ! of the Government were quite obvious.Where is Egan ?Jenkinson, director of the Irish Criminal Investigation Department states that Egan has been under police supervision for some time past, and that he left on Thursday unknown to the police.Jenkinson believed that Egan has fled because he thought that if Sheridan was extradited important evidence would come into the hands of the authorities.Three letters from Egan were found on Carey\u2019s premises, dated October and November 1881, at which time the \u201c Invincibles\u201d were established.\u2018One letter expresses a hope that Carey will succeed in the work he has on hand.Dynamite for Earl Spencer.BALLYDEHOB, March 8.\u2014Hodnett, a son of the

retrogression except perhaps with the United States.The Sheffield Independent, in discussing this question, says : \u201c Provided nothing happens to interfere with the ordinary course of events, we gnticipate a fairly presperous year.An important advance in prices or wages is hardly practicable while the means if production continue to be so far ahead of demand.It would seem, indeed, that a silent revolution has been taking place in the conditions of trading during the last ten years.Cheapness of production is now apparently the only condition upon which a large and growing trade can be done.Except fin new and special branches, high rates of profit age nowhardly to be looked for.The best hope of manufacturers seems to be in the economy of their arrangements and the vastness of their turnover, and the best hope of workmen, in.full employment at fair wages and the cheapness of all the necessaries of life: If inflation is avoided, and prices and wages continue moderate, we believe the trade of the year will, on the whole, be quite as active\u2014probably even more active\u2014than that of the year just closed.\u201d The pig iron product of the three leading countries in 1883 was 5,178,- 122 net tons in the United States, 3,170, 957 in Germany, and 8,493,287 in the United Kingdom.But, in the matter of actual consumption, the United States either leads or shall lead shortly, as they import pig iron, while Great Britain exports heavily.Itis to be observed that all other countries, excepting France, produce each less than a million tons of pig iron a year, and that the output mentioned above is considerably above the total output of the entire world in any year from 1869 to 1878.BODEN, WILSON & CO.\" A paragraph has been published in an evening contemporary referring to alleged financial trouble in a produce firm which it styles as \u201cBoden, Wilson & Co\u201d?We are 1uformed that there is no such firm in existence, and no paper drawn on or by a firm of that name Ras ever been passed through a bank here.The concluding portion of the statement is also declared to be untrue.Mr, Charles Boden represents in Montreal the Liverpool house of Blackburn & Parkinson, who, Mr.Wilson says, have never refused to accept any drafts or bills of exchange drawn on them by Mr.Boden.Mr.Pratt, representing Messrs.Blackburn & Parkinson in New York, is at present in this city, and in an interview categorically denied the statement made by our contemporary.Moreover, we are authorized to state that there is nothing due to any bank by \u201c Boden, Wilson & Co.\u201d In another column of the same paper there are certain injurious references to Mr.C, F.Dewey.Mr.Dewcy sailed for England in the \u201c Servia,\u201d\u201d and has not endeavoured to conceal his movements, as his friends here expect him back in the middle of April.We are authorized to state that responsible parties here hold an amount of Mr, Dewey\u2019s money sufficiently large enough to amply cover his imputed indebtedness, and if any of his bills of exchange have been returned it must have been on account of some mistake.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE CATTLE MARKETS.MoNTREAL,

Mr.Joly warmly supported tie resolu- | tion, adding the hope that the Government would appoint a Superintendent honest and useful and\u2019 not parties recommended to their favour for political reasons and offering a large number of practical suggestions, especially with regard to railways running through forest-lands.Mr.Carbray said the Government could not take too much interest in the protection of the forests.More timber has been \u201cdestroyed by fire in this Province than had been cut for the market.He had heard oaly to-day a lumberman complaining of the Crown Lands Departinent wi-h reference to the cutting of trees mbasuring less than 12 inches at the stump.After the Dominion subsidy our forests now supplied almost our only source of revenue, and he could not recommend too strongly to the Commissioner of Crown Lands the great importance of taking means for cheir preservation and to render effective the present regulations of the Department etlect- ing them.He was swe no members of the House would be grudge a reasonable amount to be set apart for this purpose from the revenue derived from.our Crown Lands.(Applause,) Mr.Flynn followed, expressing the pleasure with which he had heard the remarks which had fallen on this subject, both from the Commissioner of Crown Lands and also from the hon.ex-leader of the Opposition.He spoke at some length in favour of the resolution.Mr.Beaubien also supported the resolution, suggesting, amongst other things, that the guardians who should be appoint ed might be employed in seeding down such \u2018portions of the bush.as had been swept by fire and were unfit for cultivation, and instancing trees, now 30 feet in \"height, the seeds of which he himself had planted.He also spoke of the waste occa sioned by the manufacture of square timber, speaking at considerable length.Mr.Marchand made lengthy remarks in favour of the resolution.At 6 o'clock the House took recess.AFTER RECESS.The debate was resumed on the motion .of Mr.Paquet for the House to go into y committee on the bill to incorporate the \u2018General Colonization and Industrial Enterprise Company.Messrs.Picard and Trude! declared themselves in opposition to the measure and Mr.Martin supported the bill very warmly.Mr.Ytarion said that after hearing the .discussion on the bill he saw no danger to granting the land, as asked by the bill, particularly when the honesty and integrity of the administration was taken into consideration.The company would have had no difficulty in obtaining whaë it asked if it had been divided into various companies, one for each industry referred tojin the bill.Mr.Watts objected to the principle of the Bill as dangerous.It proposed no limits to the powers to be granted the Company.Each section of it accorded ex- horbitaut powers.If the Government acceded to the Bill every subsequent administration would be greatly embarrassed by it.Mr.Laberge denied that it would be in the interest of the Province for any one individual or company to purchase all its railways.In such a case a huge monopoly could be formed and any price charged for freight or passengers\u2019 Mr.Paqu'ét denied that the bill established a monopoly either of Government lands or anything else.The Government would be to blame if they allowed themselves to be ruled by the Company.The Company asked power to do no more than any private individual could do.Mr.Dubamel said all the opposition to the bill was due to the fact that Mr.Senecal was one of the promoters.oo Mr.Poupore would oppose the bill in committee, if not amended to suit his views.Mr.Owens said that before recording his vote on the principle of the bill now under discussion, he desired in, as few words as possible, to define his position and state his reasons for voting against it.He might differ with many of the hon.gentlemen who Lad preceded him.He might look on Mr.Senecal and the gentleman associated with him as the most energetic and enterprising of our commercial men, and in opposing the bill as he did the hon.gentlemen on both sides of this House would understand, that he was net actuated by any fanatical prejudices against Mr.Senecal or any of the promoters of the bill, but that he was opposed to the principle of the bill, which bristled with objectionable clauses.However, it was not necessary at this stage to discuss those objections clause by clause, but would merely say that not withstanding the assertions of the Iongentleman who supported the bill the ob- Ject was to create a monopoly which might later endanger the best interests of this Province.\u2018The member for L'Assomption and other Hon.gentlemen, relying on the honesty, wisdom and powers of resistence of our Government feel contident that the interests of thi: Province will lie carefully guarded.He quite agreed with those Honcentlemen so farusthe Guverument,as at presentconstituted, was concerne:l,but in the near future this monoply,wliich were asked by this legislation to create, might virtually govern this Province.The Government that will then administer the affairs of this Province may be the mere creation of this monopoly.In that case the best interests of the Province may be handed over to this huge monopoly.The powers asked for by the Biil were such as he trusted would never Le granted to any Company by this House, and for that reason he must vote for the amendment of the member for Kamouraska.Mr.Asselin said great progress had been of late made in colonization, railway build- ng, &c., and he asked, since the aid of capitalists had been so warmly welcomed on behalf of the objects, why the applica tion of the present Company should be refused ?Mr.Deschene referred to the charter granted in 1881 to the River du Loup anufacturing Company, which was similar in many respeets to the present bill.Mr.Casavant thought the limit of the company\u2019s capital, $25,000,000, would be dangerous when divided throughout the Province amongst the various enterprises of the company.Mr.Garneau desired amendment to the bill, but would like it referred to a Committee of the Whole.Mr.Demers and Mr.Marchand opposed the measure.Mr.St.Hilaire supported 1t, believing it would be to the advantage of the Chicoutimi & Saguenay R.R.Mr.Flynn said if the preamble of the bill was \u2018adopted without amendments it would be impossible to amend it.Tle amendment of Mr.Gagnon was then put to the vote and defeated, on the following division :\u2014 Fcr\u2014Messrs.Mercier, Stephens, Joly, Marchand, Flynn.Z Beaubien, Picard,

division, and the House went into committee on the bill, Mr.Desjardins in the chair.A long discussion occurred on the preamble of the bill, when the committee rose and reported progress.The House then adjourned at 1 a.m.NOTICES OF MOTION.The following are Mr.Mousseau\u2019s reso- utions respecting the study of anatomy: Resolved, 1st, That for the purposes or the study of anatomy the Province of Quebec be divided into two sections, which shall be known as \u201c The Quebec Section\u201d and \u201cThe Montreal Section,\u201d which sections shall respectively comprise a just judicial district as the Lieutenant-Governor in council may be pleased to specify, and that it shall be lawful for the Lieutenant- Governor in council to appoint during his pleasure an inspector of anatomy for each of such sections and a sub-inspector of anatomy of the judicial district except those of Quebec and Montreal, in which the office will be filled by the inspector of anatomy, but persons so appointed shall not in any way be connected with any university or school of medicine, or be practising physicians.Resolved, 2nd, That every university or school of medicine shall pay to the imspector of anatomy, in addition to the cost of transport and of burial, a cum of $10 for every corpse delivered, and the inspector shall pay to the sub-inspector for every corpse which the latter shall deliver to him the sum of $5, over and above the cost of transport.Resolved, 3rd, That every superintendent or director of a public institution receiving a grant from the Government, and every coroner who shall knowingly omit, or who shall neglect or refuse to comply with the provisions of the act, to be based on these resolutions, and every University or school of Medicine which shall receive corpses in its dissecting room, er allow dissecting within 1ts establishment of corpses which have not been supplied to it by the inspector of anatomy, shall, upon a complaint to that effect, before a Justice of the Peace, by the Inspector or Sub-Inspector of Anatoiny, be liable to a penalty of not less than $100, or more than $200 for each offence, and the amount of such penalty and cost of the suit shall be wetained by the Treasurer of the Province out of the next grant, which such institution, university or school of medicine is to receive or shall be retaine from the emoluments which may become payable to such Coroner as the case may e.PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEES.THE NEW GAS BILL.The bill to incorporate the Citizens\u2019 Gas Company of Montreal was before the Private Bills Committee to-day, commencing at 11.45.The Chairman, Mr.Beaubien, asked to have an understanding as to the mode of discussion.The promoters of the bill asked to have two counsels, and the Mayor of Mentreal heard.The opposition desired to be heard by counsel and directors of the actual Gas Company.The Chairman read preamble of the bill.Mayor Beaudry said that the Corporation was willing to purpose of laying the pipes neccessary to secure diminution in the price of gas.25 out of 27 members of the Council had petitioned in favor of the passage of the bill.In supporting it he was not expressing alone his own opinion, but that of the great bulk of the citizens.Mr.John Ostell, Vice-President of the Montreal Gas Company, followed.He said in years goue by there were two gas companys in Montreal.The result was amalgamation, and the price went up to $5.This had been gradually reduced by the present company to $1.55.It was all very well to promise, but a difficult thing to fulfill, such promises as made by the promoters of the bill.He asked the committee tor bear m mind the interest of the 500 stock holders of the company, including a large percentage of widows and orphans, re igious and charitable institutions.The company had been called a monopoly, but the Premier had said in the House last night that monopolies were not always injurious or undesirable.He objected to Interference with vested rights, and he said that there was too much communis; in these days, which was illustrated by immediate attacks upon any individuals or corporations making fair profits.Mr.McGibbon spoke in support of the bill.The Vice-President of the Gas Company had advanced the startling proposition that the bill should not be passed, because the incorporation of à second company would send sp prices of gas.In anv other branch of business the contrary would be the case.In Detroit there were till lately two gas companies, each furnishing gas at $1 per 1,000 feet, but as soon as they amalgamated prices went up to $2.The present bill prevents amal- - have the streets of the city opened for the\u2019 gamation or arrangements \u2018th another company under penalty of forfeiting the charter.When i arrived here yesterday he found the principal argument of the opponents was that tue scheme was of a bogus or spcenlative character.He imme diately telegraphed the promoters, and had several replies expressive of their thorough earnestness.The City Council unanimons- ly passed a resolution approving of the bill, and 25 out of 27 Councillors signed the petition praying for jte passage.It was not in reason that the bill should be rejected.If the Gas Company believe they are furuishing gas at the lowest possible rates they had nothing to fear from competition.When their contract expires in 1885 for lighting the city, the new Company bound themselves to tender for the work; and if the Gas Company then tender as low, say tor $1 per 1,000 feet, the new Company would retire.By their bill they were prec ulded §f-om paying more than 10 per cent.dividend, or from accumulating more than 5 per cent.of a rest.The Company also provided in the bill that the City ouncil should send three directors to the board meetings with access to all the books &e.The old Company\u2019s original capital had been $1,000,000, but it had been watered to the extent of $700,000, and a dividend amounting to 12 per cent.on the whole was paid.He then read what Mr.Workman of Montreal, himself a stockholder of this Gas Company, had recently said at a publicmeeting as to the profits of the Company.Mr.McGibbon, continuing, said that other gas companies might charge more than that in Montreal, but it must be remembered that in the United States they had to pay for the right of opening streets and expensive cost of legislation, so that it frequently happened a company had to expend $200,000 or $300,000 at the very outset, and then to provide street lamps, for which the Montreal Gas Company were paid $24 each.He asked that the new company beallowed a ~harter and given a chance to tender.The: wanted to be pro tected against monopoly and if the other company reduced the price of gas to their figure, they were prepared to withdraw without being reimbursed for their outlay.Mr.Jesse Joseph, President of the Gas Company, followed, speaking until shortly before two o'clock, when the Committe adjourned.He referred to the ease with which signatures were secured to petitions, especially when people were told that by signing them they could keep their bills at half price.He then read lengthy extracts from a report by Mr.A.Hickenlooper to the Committee on Light of the Board of Public Works of Cincinnati, contending that it was always inadvisable to have competition in the supply of gas, as the result was invariably the absorption of the weaker company by the stronger and the subsequent increase in rates.The experience of numerous cities on the subject was quoted in support of this.Mr.Joseph said that the present company had possession of the streets in the aty and the system of pipes in the streets had been built with the city.If this bill was passed a war between the two companies would set in which would cause large costs and outlay, and finally when the weaker succumbed the rates would have to be raised and the public thus made to pay for the rive Iry aud worse than useless war, which would have been waged.By the terms of the contract passed between the Corporation of Montreal and the Gas Company, the former pledgell itself to grant no permission to any other company to lay pipes in the city before 1885.By this eon- tract they also agreed to supply light at $2.50 per 1,000 feet up to 1885.Notwithstanding this the company had, some few years ago, without any solicitation from the Corporation, reduced their charges to $2.00 per 1,000, thus knocking oft\u2019 $60,000.Last year again they had made another reduction unsolicited to $1.90 per 1.000.That Had been the.policy of the company, that was its present policy, and would continue to be its policy in the future.He denied that there was any monopoly in the Gus Company.It had started 35 years ago and for seven years had paid no dividend.Then it paid for some time four, five and six per cent.Referring to Mr.Workman\u2019s speech, read by Mr.McGibben, he said it was aingular to find anybody complaining that their investments paid them too large dividends.Analysing his figures, however, it would be seen, on re flection, that the $800 paid 35 years ago at | 8 per cent.compound interest should now amount on an ordinary investment to $16,000 and 10 per cent., the rate allowed in England on gas investments should reach the sum of $36,000.Owing to the risk of accidents to which they were snb- jeet Gas Companies were like gun powder.1n England 10 per cent.was allowed to be aid by them, and in France 20 per cent.t would be remembered that an explosion in Glasgow a few days ago caused damage to the gas works to the extent of $300,000.A similar accident some years agoin Liverpool caused a loss of $570,000.So that he did not think 12 per eent.was teo high to pay here on a gasstock.He referred to the special impost on the Gas Company of $5,000, in addition to the ordinary taxes paid the city of Montreal, making in all pearly $10,000 per annum.Referring to the large amount expended on buildings, etc., by the Company, he said the proposed legislation, if adopted, would amount to virtual confiscation of its pro- pert , in which they counted as shareholders numerous churches and hospitals, nunneries, and other instititutions.He denied that the stock of the Company had been watered, but new stock had been issued.He quoted from a list of 830 Gas Companies in America to show that the rates charged in Montreal, $1.90 for light and $1.20 for other purposes, averaging $1.55, were about the lewest charged anywhere on the Continent, even the city of Philadelphia, where the city owns the Gas Company, and dividends are paid in order that cheap gas may be assured, it is found necessary to charge $1.96 per 1.000 feet.Being nearly 1 o\u2019clock, the Committee then adjourned until 10.30 a.m.to-morrow, when Mr.Drouin, advocate, will address the Committee in favour of the Bill.Mr, B.Globensky, for the Gas Company, and Mr.McGibbon will sum up in reply.The vote will doubtless be taken to-morrow.The Commitiee adopted to-day the Bill to amend the Charter of the Canadian Electric Co., amending it to strike out other means of illuminating besides the electric light, and permitting the use of gas only for the purpose of generating the electric light.Tn the Private Bills Committee a long fight occurred on the Bill for the incorporation of St.Sauveur.A large number of prominent citizens appeared against the measure.Mr.Fpromoted the Bill, and Mr.Bedard opposed it, as did Dr.Dion, of St.Sauveur.The Committee threw out the Bill on the round that the majority of the ratepavers th in number and in value appeared to be opposed to it.IMPORTANT When yeu visit or leave New York City save Baggage Expressage and Carriage Hire aud stop at

* * * * the decision given by the Superintendent should be final, and he may by such decision order the School Commissioners or Trustees to do that which they have been required or which he orders them to do.\u201d * * * * The Royal Grammar School of Mont real was established in 1816.In 1818 it passed under the control of the Royal Institution.In September, 1846, by an Order-in-Council, the High School of Montreal, which had been established in 1845.was constituted the Royal Grammar Senool, and, as such, was governed and maintained by she Royal Institution until 187 0, when, hy the provisions of law above cited, it wus handed over to the Protestant Board of School Commissioners, who had they been unwilling to accep the trust, might, we learn, have been compelled to do so by legal procedure.LZ COLONY OF NEW ZEALAND.Tie Aegiotrar General of New Ze | land bas forwarded us a copy of his annual blue hook.from which cerning the population, grade, ete., of that far off colony.Un the 31st December, 1881, tlie population of New Zealand amounted to 500,910, exclusive of 44,097 Maories.The increase dur- lug the whole year wus 14,857\u2014by excess of births over deaths 13,241, and by excess of immigration over emigration 1,616.The total ascertained arrivals in the colony during the year amounted to 9,688, of which number only 103 were at the public expense.O.the arrivals 1,029 were adult Chinese from Australia; 3,507 from the United Kingdom ; 3,146 from Victoria; 2,924 from New South Wales and Queensland.Tho total number returned as having left the colony was 8,072.With respect to land ; 23.09 Presbyterian; 14.08 Roman Catholic; 9.52 Methodist.The trade and navigation statistics show an -| increase of 35 in the number of vessels inwards, and a decrease of 24 vessels in the shipping outwards.The total value of imports was £7,457,043, being an increase of £1,295,034 compared with the preceding year.The total value of exports was £6,060,866, an increase of £291,826 on the previous year.The value of gold exported was £996,387, a decrease of £223,396 compared with 1880.Of wool exported, the declared value was £2,909,760, a decrease.of £259,540 compared with ihe year 1880.This decrease, however, was caused by increased consumption in the various woollen manufac- tories in the colony; and the Registrat growing.\u201d Of course they will grow; our fellow colonists apparently knowing how to take care of themselves, and showing increased anxiety to promote and encourage local industries.The total ordinary and territorial revenue amounted to £3,757,493, and the expenditure to £3,675,796.The debt of the colony on the last day of the year 1881 was £29,659,111, and the annual charge in respect of the debt was £1,510,527, There were 1,333 miles of railway open.te.traffic, the estimated cost of the limes being £9,443,000.The number Office Savings Banks was 190, and the deposits during the year amounted to £1,183,012; the withdrawals, £902,- 195.In other Savings Banks the deposits amounted to £251,220.The average liability of the banks was £10,- 083,188; the average assets, £14,863, 645 ; the paid-up capital, £5,450,000.The extent of land under grain crops was 638,910 acres ; under green crops, 363,573 acres; and under artificial grasses, 3,938,089 acres.There were 869 primary schoolssupported by Government, and 266 private schools.The total strength of the armed constabulary amounted to 1,495 men of all ranks.= The strength of the volunteer forge was 10,294 officers and man.These statistics speak well for the colony, and show that if is in a prosperous condition.SEEKING MANY POWERS.Mr.Small, Member cf the House of Commons for East Toronto, has introduced a bill to incorporate the Dominion Trust and Loan Company.The title is modess enough, but an examination of the Bill shows that the promoters and their friends are anything but moderate in their demands.They ask Parliament to give them power to \u201c Lease and work railways, elevators, telegraph lines, and to charter boats, and coutract for the building of bridges and telegraph lines, and to contract for the construction and equipment of railways, telegraph lines, and bridges, aad to assist contractors therefor, either by becoming security for the due fulfilment of their contracts, or by advancing the money required as a deposit for the fultilment thereof, or for the carrying on and completing of any contract, and to take and enforce any engagement, security, or pledge taken from any such contractors, and, in fulfilment, to complete any such contract, and to import, deal in, and manufacture railway cars, railway plant, rails, railway ties, and all things used in or required in and about the running or operating of railways ; and to acquire and own and operate railways, telegraph lines, and steamboats, and to take deeds and leases of such parcels of land as may be required or needed in and about any business carried on by them under the powers granted by this Act, and to sell and Jispase of the same; and the Company shall have power and authority to buy and sell, and hold and negotiate bonds, debentures, and all obligations of any municipality, corporation, chartered company, or railway, and to make advances on the security of the same and to guarantee the debentures or bonds of municipalities, and to act as agents for the purpose of issuing or countersigning certificates of stock, bonds, or other obligations of indebtedness of any railway or municipality or other corporate body, and to receive and manage any sinking fund therefor ; and to take, receive, and hold all estates aud property, real and personal, which may be granted, committed, transferred, or conveyed to them with their consent, of or belonging to any corporation, chartered company, or body corporate, by any such corporation, chartered company, or body corporate, or by any court or authority.having power so to du, upon any trust or trusts whatsoever, at auy time or times, and to admister, fulfil, and discharge the duties of such trusts, for such remuneration as may be agreed on, and to act generally as agents or attorneys §or the transaction of busigess,\u201d gramme must be a pretiy clever fellow \u2014a man of grasp of mind and breadth of view.His clients are, no doubt, satisfied with his work ;

The Duke of Marlborough, however, continues to receive £4,000 a year, and the Duke of Wellington bas the same amount.Nobedy knows.to what extent the.first Duke of Marlborough was rewarded by: the country, But nearly £500,000 was paid by Parliament for Blenheim, and an even larger sum was voted to purchase and lay out Strathfieldsaye and its estate for the Duke of Wellington.The Duke of St.Albans receives £1,200 a yoar as hereditary Grand Falconer, but this is paid by the Sovereign.Earl Cowper's predecessor in the title received £113,000 as compensation for hereditary pension received by him as heir to the Ban of Bath and to the Lord d'Auverquerque, and less than seven years ago thé Duke of Leeds was given £29,000 as commutation for his pension of £1,080 as one of the heirs to the Duke of Schomberg.The Earls of Kinnoul receive £676 per annum, bus they sold this pension many years ago.However, it will go on being paid till the title becomes extinct.There are several other pensions, but of smaller amounts.Of parliamentary grants we find Colonel Stuart receiving £4,000 a year (granted 1790), as heir of William Penn.Lord Rodney receives £1,000 and Lady Rodney £4,000, which pensions, granted in 1782, are to last as long as there is an heir male of the first nolder of the {itle.Earl of Amherst has rejoiced in £3,000 a year since 1803.This pensien was voted to compensate him for the loss of a grant which had been illegally made by George II.Early Nelson has a pension of £5,000, which is to last as long as the title.The widow of the Admiral received £2,000 a year from 1805 till her death, in 1831.After Trafalgar each of his sisters (three) received £10,000, and £60,000 was voted to purchase the estate in Wiltshire, now known as Trafalgar.In addition to all these Truth states that there are many smaller pensions paid out of the pockets of the people, while there are scores of utterly useless officials, with high-sounding titles, living on the country from year to year.These pensions cannot be swept away in a day, but now that men like Mr.Labouchere and the advanced Liberals have taken the matter up, po doubt the agitation will be continued till an improved condition of affairs shall have been brought about.13 Ev: goNsEQEENCE bf the scarcity of bait fa fidermen of*Ne - England\u2014bysfhe authority of the United States Fish Commission\u2014are now taking cod by the use gill nets, and with excellent results so far as the catches are concerned.A few weeks ago one boat, with tave men apd fish, clearing $40 each.Another caught $1,200 worth in the same way ; while in a third instance, the men made $320 each, inside of six weeks.The saving in the cost of bait is very great.Asaninstance of this it is stated that the average bait bill of a shore trawler would not be less than $150 to*$200 per month.Therefure, it is sate to estimate that when such such a large force is employed iu gill nict- r ting as there has been this winter the LD, AND DAIT send PP oo | amount Laan in Hotne aisl go hyme tloumselves, | and charter this company of patriegs Mr.Laboucheze% \u2018 advanced views landed him | chere\u2019s latest assaults haye been\u2018 He is specially inion whic , if realized, will be great, seven nets, took 5,000 pounds of large | IIR X ed otherwise mnt he paid for baît, cannot be less than =30,000 tu 240,000, \u201cAll thi may be true: bat] he question arises, is not this gill net fishing likely to destroy many good grounds! Through their own recklessness the American fishermen have depleted some of thuir grounds to such an extent as to make them comparatively worthless.That is why they made the treaty with us for the use of our waters.Should they continue the use of gill nets, the chances are, that they will, before long, destroy whatever good grounds they have left ; and thus, with the treaty abrogated, they will resort to the old game of poaching in our waters, and thus proh- ably bring about serious international troubles, \u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 .THEY have heard of Wiggins over in England, and they do not appear to take much stock in his prophecies.A few weeks ago a ship owner at Ramsgate wrote to the Meteorological Oftice, London, touching the predicted storms, and received the following reply \u2014\u201c The prophecy to which you allude emanates from some mau in the Finance Department of the Canadian Government.It Is utter nonsense, No living man can predict the Weather two days beforehand, much less six months, The idea that the Admiralty have ordered ships to be in port is also absurd and utterly false.\u201d Notwithstanding this want of faith, they had a terrible storm in England a couple of days ago, and Mr.Wiggins says that it was the first instalment of the general smash- up that is due to-day.By-the-by, though there has been very bad weather east and.west the great big hurricane had not arrived at the time of writing.i A REVIVAL of the imposts provided by the old fashioned corn laws is urged in some parts of the Mother Country, it being contended that if there was a duty on wheat of five shillings it would not raise the cost of food for a man, wife, and four children, more than thirty shillings a year.Farmers then, could pay three shillings a week more wsges when making a fair profit on.sheir wheat, labourers would get 140 shillings at an Sutlay ef thirty shillings, and the corn tax would, it is held be a blessing.WE publish in

the end of the present session and which may require re-enactment are the Act for the better prevention of crimes of violence in certain parts of Canada, and the Act respecting administration of criminal justice in territory in dispute between the Government of Ontario and of the Domiaion.Hon.Senator Pelletier purposes making inquiries regarding the retwn, if auy, received by the Canadian public for large subsidies voted to the Brazilian Steamship Line, and will move for a return of each trip made between Canada and Brazil by the \u201c Societie Postal de l\u2019Atlanti ue,\u201d according to the contract with the Canadian and Brazilian Governments, with the following statements to 1st February, 1883.name of the steamer, owner or charterer, tonnage, accommodation for passengers, number of passengers from each port and their destination, accommodation for freight, gross quantities and nature of freight from each port and destinations, freight and passenger rates paid, day of departure appointed by the Canadian Government and the day of sailing, the amount of mails carried, the penalty vaid for delay or paid by Brazil, the number of days required forthe single and relative trips, also all correspondence between the Canadian Government and the Company, referring to the present suspension of the service and an increased subsidy, also, with reference to a subsidy for a regular service between France and Canada.The select Committee appointed to examine and report upon Mr.Casgrain\u2019s bill to suppress contract broking met this morning and passed all the clauses, except one by which it is proposed to make contractors or intending contractors liable to punishment for furnishing money for election purposes.To such a provision Messrs, Rykert, Tupper, of Picton, and Amyot strongly objected and the Committee adjourned for a few days to consider the matter, Mr.Casgrain proposed to enact that \u201cany contractor furnishing money for election purposes shall be liable to a penalty of not less than one thousand ollars, together with imprisonment for a term of not less than one month and not mere than twelve months.\u201d Among the petitions presented to-day was that of Grand Orange Lodge of Prince Edward Island, praying that the Orange incorporation val, soon to come before Parliament, may be passed.Similar petitions were presented from the Grand Lodge of Eastern Ontario, the Orange Association of British North America and the Grand Lodge of New Brunswick.The latter petition was presented by Mr.White, of Cardwell, and the others by Messrs.Tyrwhitt and Beatty.The Shearer Scheme bill was introduced to-day.The incorporators are Lord John Manners, Hon.À.W.Ogilvie, Hon.L.R.Church, Jas.Shearer, Wm, Angus, W.T.Costigan, Lieut.-Colonel DeMontenach, John McGillis, M.J.F.Quinn, Geo.¥.Miles, F.F.Bateman and Robt.Denny.The capital stock of the company is fixed at three and a half millions of dollars.To-day & petition was presented, showing that on the 12th July, 1882, Hou.Hector Fabre was eilgaged as Government agent at Paris, for a period not exceeding three years, at $2,000 per annum, payable monthly.Mr.N.F.Davin was, on 11th December last paid $238 for \u201cextra service: \u201d in connection with the Pacific Railway Commission.Messrs.Lukes and Blakely received five dollars a day and expenses for their services in pro curing information respecting factory labour.Fifty copies of Dr.Hurlbert\u2019 work on \u201cProtection and Free Trade\u201d were purchased, £150 sterling were paid on account of the Alspy Day affair and £4,075 to the Prince Edward Island Government for the maintenance of prisoners, the whole being charged to \u201c Unforeseen Expenses.\u201d The total revenue derived from the Intercolonial Railway in the last six months of 1882 was §1,206,289 against $1,016,352 in the same period of 1881, and $917,384 for 1880, The total expensas not charged to capital were $1,274,113 against $1,057,903 and $891,155 in the last six months of 1881 and 1880 respectively.The total value of rolling stock purchased for the Intercolonis Railway in 1582 was $559,970 while two conductors vans, six box cars, cleven cattle cars and 35 platform cars were built in the Government workshops.The gentlemen who ave asking power to build a railway from Quebec to James\u2019 Bay arc Messrs.Michael Wm, Baby, Wm.Sharples, Jean Baptiste Renaud, Alex.Luders Light, Pierre A.Deblois, Hy.Judah, John Sharples, Alex.Lemoine, Jas.Bell Forsyth, and Sir Narcisse Fortunat Belleau, K.C.M.G.Mr.Caturdal has given notice of a bill to limit the rate of interest throughout Canada to six per cent.It is now believed that the Budget speech will not be delivered before uesday next.The second reading of Mr.MeCarthy\u2019s railway commission bill was reached today, but it was easy to see that the opinion of the House was decidedly adverse to the adoption of the principle of the bill.The bill was referred to the stanaing committee on railways.While disclaiming any intention of opposing the bill, Sir Chas.Tupper argued strongly against it, and Mr.McKenzie considered the whole scheme impractleable.Mr.Sproule hinted very broadly: that Mr.cCarthy was not sincere in pressing the matter, but was merely endeavoring to gain cheap popularity by pandering to certain prejudices against railway companies.This Mr, McCarthy denied, and said Sir John\u2019s offer to refer the matter to the committee relieved him of further responsibilily, which would now devolve on the Premier.It is not likely the bill will come before the House again, Mr.Jolin Bell, Solicitor of the G.T.R.Co., has prepared a circular letter, in which the principal oh- jections to the appointments of a railway court are clearly set forth.Mr.Beil points out that as carly as 1851 measures for regulation of railway rates were adopted Ly the Canadian Parliament, and thas every by-law of any company fixing tolls was subject to revision by the Gover- nor-in-Couneil.Section 22 of the Act of 1851 stipulates that the Provincial Logislature may, from tie to time, reduce che tolls on railways, hut not without the consent of the company, or so as to produce less than fifteen per cent profit on the capital actually expended in construetion, nov unless an extnetion mule by tl Commissioner of Public Works of ti amount received and expended hy the company\u2019s net income from all soure- for the year than last past, should hav.CLE.R, chartes, and by the Consolidated Rulwav Ac, INT, Was mad to apply to every railway under the juii - diction of the Dominion Parliament.\u2018These provisions are also contained in the Ontariv Railway Act and in the Quebec Railway Act, and every charter granted Ly these local legislatures contains the same provision, but substit ting the Lt.- Governors in-council, aud the local legislatures in each case as the revising autlior- ity.Mr.McCarthy*s bill proposed to re- pea all this and place the control uf all railways in the hands of three irre-p m- ! sible men in direct violation of the sta ute under which the several railways were built and their securities sold.The effect of such a piece of legislation caunot but prove injurious.There is not a railway in Canada, whose net receipts, amount to 15 per cent.ou the actual capital expended 11 construction and at present rates, or rates that have heen in force for 15 years, there is not a company in Canada whose net carnings will ever reach that percentage.Mr.Bell submits therefore that as Parliament has enacted and reenacted these provisions four times and such enactments having been acted upon in good faith the passage of such a measure as that introduced by Mr.Me- Carthy would not be keeping faith with those holding railway securities, PROGRESS IN NORTH-WEST CANADA.From the London Globe.A good deal has been heard of late in this country with regard to the stream of emigration to British North America, and the development of Manitoba and the Canadian North-West.But perhaps, after all, very few Englishmen have auy accurate notion of the great progress that has been and is being made in those re gions, or of its real significance both to the Dominion and to the mother country.The matter 1g, in truth, of great momeut.No doubt there is a local tendency to.take an exaggerated view of it, and to inuulge in the hyberbole and tall talk which seem to tind their natural home on the oth.r side of the Atlantic.But, considered quite impartially and without local feeling, there are facts and figures enough to show that Canada has reached what bids fair to rove a most important turning point in its history.For an immense stride onward was taken last year, and, though the present pace may not be always maintained, it is manifested that the opening up of CANADA\u2019S HITHERTO UNDEVELOPED INTERIOR Is no longer a vision of the future.It is, on the contrary, fast becoming an accomplished fact, calculated to have:a vast ing fluence upon the welfare of the Dominion, and upon the growth of British commerce and the prospects of British agriculture, The best confirmation of these statement will be found in a hasty glance at what ha, taken place during the last twelve months.In the first place.the Dominion authorities assert that nearly 50,000 fresh settlers arrived in Manitoba and the North-West between January and December, 1882.Roughly speaking, one-fourth are said to be Europeaus, one-fifth came from the United States, and the remainder from the older parts of Canada.And it is estimated that these people brought with them some two millions sterling of capital.The labour and capital these figures represented were of course very soon brought to bear on the development of the natural resources of the country.To use the American phrase A GREAT BOOM IN LAND was the first and most obvious result.Extengive and sometimes very reckless speculation sprang up, and much excitement prevailed.But after a time the JSurore calmed down, and when the inevitable reaction had come and had spent itself, business assumed a steadier and healthier character, though its growth continued to be marvellous 1n its rapidity.The Canadian Pacific Railway alone 1s said to have di-pôsed of a million and a half acres tor homesteads and town-lots in the course of the year.realising for them some £500,000.These figures, it might be stated, do not include the five willion acres sold by the satue comhauy to the Canadian North-West Land Company, of which the Duke of Manchester was the original president.Independently of this, however, if we add the purchases made by the settlers from the Dominion Goverument\u2014which, of course, is -the largest landowner in this immense region\u2014from the Hudson\u2019s Bay Company and from private speculators, it is probably not too much to say that nearly TWO MILLION ACRES CHANGED HANDS during the period in question.Another rather interesting fact throws some light on this point.There are in Manitoba at the present time no fewer than twelve loan companies from which settlers can obtain advances on their newly-acquired property ; and, without taking init ac count the business done by private firms and individuals, these conipanies advanced a million and à half sterling during the year.Going one step further, valuable corroborative testimony is afforded by the history of Winnipeg for 1582.This city is the capital of Manitoba, and from its natural position and its means of communication has necessarily become_the great centre and emporium of the North-West.Twelve months ago its population was 12,000.On December 31 it was estimated at nearly 30,000.In 1881 the real estate was assessed at $9,000,000.It is now put down ut $21,000,000.Its foreign imports have quadrupled in the same period\u2014a fact in it-elfof some importance to Great Britain, since half its trade is with this country.A million sterling is spent on new buildings, private and public, in the year, and, as the place will probably always remain the great distributing point bejween the East and the North-West, Winnipeg almost promises to prove \" A SECOND), IF SOMEWHAT SMALLER, CHICAGO Additional statistics are hardly necessary.It is more interesting to inquire what .is the secret of this rapid development.In some measure it must be attributed tothe increased energy and enterprise showu by the Canadian Government of late years in spreading abroad a knowledge of the country, and in ¢ pushing emigration by various means.There may be good justification for the suspicion with which emigration ageuts and the state ments they put forth are often regarded.But, ou the other hand, it is obvious enough thay intending emigrants are not likely to think of settlicg in a conutry when they practically kuow nothing definitely as Lo either it< advantages or its disadvantages.The Dominion authorities have recently shown a good deal of zeal in this direction, and have also done their best, apparently, to convince the public that they are not depicting a sterile desert as a land of promise; and their exertions have borne good fruit.Auother ands till more potent force hus, however been at work, and has specially made its influence felt within the last vear.For the Canadian North-West would have =till practically been ow lerra \u2018eoinit hal it not been for the REMARKABLE EXTENSION of the Canalian Pacific Railway.When the Dominion Government coniræ \u20181 tvo years uo with a powerful synlvate for the contraction and working of ti3 line their political opponents in lulged without quarters, alone en fully show how far this eriti- civ œut these autaeks are well funded.Bat tas mtteh, at leust, 15 çértiun : the line, so far as it is yet built, has worked marvels in the development of the country.Progress has been made with it at a speed that has exceeded all anticipations.\u201cThe main line has now been carried to a point some six hundred wiles west of Winnipeg.In the course of the present year it will Le continued three hundred miles further.The main line between Montreal and Winnipeg 1s notvet complete, but aver seven hundred miles have been built Ly the Company, or acquired by it from the Government; between Winnipeg and Thunder Bay, on Lake Superior, communication wiil shortly be established, and a line of steamships will be in operation next vear on the lakes by which AN ALL CANADIAN ROCTE to the North-West will be obtained.In all, at the present time, the company has over 1,700 miles of line, fully equipped and in running order, and it is officially stated that before the end of next Augnst its track will extend for more than 2,000 miles.Last year it is said tu have carried 25,000 passengers.and to have expended in the construction of its wain line, branches, and workshops, as much as tive millions sterling.A work of this character could not but be productive of immense consequences, It has enabled the settler to get into the heart of the country; it has taken supplies practically to his doors; it has kept him in direct and constant intercourse with the rest of the world ; above all, it has given him facilities for finding a ready market for the products of his industry and the fertile soil he cultivates.It can scarcely be incorrect, therefore, to ascribe to this audertaking the larger share of the change that has been brought about.Upon THE MAGNITUDE OF THIS CHANGE no more need be said, but there are one or two points connected with the Canadian North-West whieh have been brought into greater prominence by the experiendes of the past twelve mouths.For instance, it has been a prevalent belief among many Englishmen that in Manitoba itself 1s really comprised the whole of the North- West in which agriculture is a profitable pursuit, But every day shows more aud more plainly that this is not the case.Simultaneously with the progress of the new railway, settlers have gone further and further westward, have been satistied with the outlook have established themselves along the line of route and have rospered.The new province of Assiniboia as been formed, and Regina chosen as its capital.The Saskatchewan district is being thoroughly explored aud gradaally colonized, and a glance at the map will show that each of these regions almost equals Manitoba in area.Moreover, THE GRAIN-GROWING DISTRICTS are proving to be far less limited than was at first supposed.Only a week or two ago samples were received in London of excellent wheat grown at one of the Huu} son\u2019s Bay Company\u2019s posts, over a thou sand miles north-west of Winnipeg, and this is not an isolated instance.A better idea, too, is being gained of the mineral wealth of the country.Six companies have been formed for*goid\u2014mining in the vicinity of the Lake of the Woods, northeast of the Manitoba capital.One consists altogether of New York capitalists, and possasses a capital of two million dollars.A second, the Winnipeg Consolidated Gold Mining Company, with a capital of half the amount just mentioned, may also be named.Similarly with regard to the coal deposits more accurate knowledge is being obtained.The Canadian Pacitic Railway now estimate that the coal beds adjoining the route to their line occupy an area of 40,000 square miles, and they assess the PRUBABLE PRODUCT OF FOUR of the chief mines at TWENTY-FOUR MILLION TONS.One geologist, Dr.Dawson, who has given some attention to the subject, declares that the coal is superior to any to be found on the European continent.Lastly, a number of cattle ranches Lave been start$ ed in the extreme west, at the base of the Rocky Mountains, and a business whieh has long flourished in the Western States across the boundary seems likely to obtain à firm footing in the Dominion.In short, appearances go far to justify the belief that the Canadian North-West is now passing through the initial stage of a development which must ultimately result in the form ation of new provinces in the Dominion confederation as populous and thriving as any of the wealthy States of the United States.The land, indeed, is not of one uniform richness and fertility.The climate is not perfect.And, as elsewhere.settlers find that they must face some difficulties and put up with some temporary hardships.But hundreds of successful and prosperous farmers are already established there, whose experiences form the best testimony of the advantages possessed by the country.And, in the interests of both Canada and the mother country, 1t is to be hoped that the future of this land of plenty will prove as auspicious as it now promises to be.ANSWER THIS, Can you find a case of Bright's Discase of

With regard to the objection that = th@Court would be expensive, he was of > opinion the cost of it would be nothing as compared with the amount that would be saved to the publie by its establishment.Sir C.TUPPER said his honourable friend would see that if 50 great diffioulties had been encountered in dealing with this question in England, how immeasurably greater would they be in Canada.In this country the railway system was entirely different, as our roads entered into competition with lines across the border and all that might be accomplished by the proposed court would be to impair the usefulness of the roads for carrying on our business.There was no institution in Canada in which so much foreign capital had been invested and with so great advantage to us as on railways, in fact the railway business of Canada was bein, done by foreigners who receiv no return, and such a hasty, incautious and ill-advised, although well meant measure, might be fraught with many evil consequences.Besides he desired to point out that Parliament had not power to legislate with regard to all the railways of the Dominion, as mauy of them were within the control of the Local Legislatures.Foreign capitalists having done so much by railway construction for Canadd, we should very carefully consider any measure that might look like breach of faith with them.He did not wish to be understood as opposing the bill, but he thought it should be examined with the most careful deliberation, and he would suggest that it be referred to the Committee on Railways and Canals, when all parties interested could be heard.Mr.ORTON said that grievous wrongs had been committed by the railway com panies towards the people of the Dominion, acking:Company arts of the country for legislation of this sind.The Provincial Parliament had tried to remedy this evil by granting privileges to opposition lines, but what was the result?Why these various lines had been directly absorbed by the great railway corporations, and natlers were as bad as before.He referred to the complaint which had Leen made by the traders of Winnipegland the towns and villages of the North-West and he thought there was just ground for a cry against the treatment which they had been subject to, although it generally turned out to be a fault in the officers «t the line, without the knowledge of the Manager.The question at any rate was important and he hoped it would Le fully discussed by the House.Mr.SPROULE spoke in favour of the Bill and said that in the States of the Union bordering on Canada, where they had Railways competing with Canadian road they had Conimissioners similar to those proposed in Mr.McCarthy\u2019s Bill.Mr.CASGRAIN did not see the necessity for increasing the Courte of te country.Iftlree or four citizens were ap pointed as Commissioners they must necessarily be business men, and consequently this Court would not be vested with the dignity nor would their decisions carry so much weight as the Courts for administration of justice, in which the country had the fullest confidence.Mr.CAMERON (Huron), said thata reference to the Committee on Railways would practically be an end to the Bill, the Committee being composed of fully one half of Members of Parliament.He would favour the Bill being referred to a iSelect Committee.He did not agree with the Hon.Minister of Railways that the bill undertook to deal with railways over which the Dominion Parliament had no jurisdiction, for although the Provincial legislatures had power to incorporate.railway companies, the sole wer to regulate their trade and commerce\u2019 able consideration of the House, as he was! -quite gure it would be favorably reccived by the country.: Mr.TUPPER [Pictou] said that Mr.McCarthy laid great stress upon the fact that in 1874 the Parliament \u2018of Great Britain had passed à mueasute Wmilar to the one proposed by him, but he [Mr.Tupper] thought the history of that bill afforded an argument against Mr.Me- Carthy\u2019s bill.He believed that the railway system of this country should be encouraged, and he considered that this bill wag fraught with danger of discouraging that.enterprise.The fact that they were, 23 years agitating this question in a country: that was enjoying a net work of railways showed (hat there was a disposition there not to lay a strong hand updn such railways as were established there.Coming as he did from a Province that had not too many railways, and coming from a centre that desired as many railways a8 pessible,\u2019 he believed they were not in a position for: such legislation as proposed in the bill.\u2018 * Mr.BLAKE said it was quite clear that this measure would not make substantial progress, unless it was referred to u select: Committee and in his opinion this Committee ought to sthnmon before it represen-' tatives of the great railway corporations and, call upon them for their statement of the: objectiofis against the passing of this billy as weil as to summon those who had any special grievance against the railway companies, so that they might get to the bottom of the difficulties attending it and consider the best means of remedying them.The country was now under the control of oneor two great railway corporation.One railway company after another had betn incorporated in his own Province with a view ta get competition but without avail.There were many Provinces extremely desirous of obtaining railways and they did not want to frighten them away, but he believed that proper legislation would not frighten away railway en- terprires.After having heard both sides of the question they would be able to frame a measure that would do justice to alt parties.Mr.MACKENZIE said no Court of Railway Commissioners would be satisfactory which would not embrace the entire-railway system of the country, and unless the Government were willing to place their railways under this Court, they should vote against this measure.For his own part he thought it would be altogether impracticable, and the institution of such a Commission, which could not possibly know much about railways, would be, to a great extent, ruinous to railway interests.His own experience in the Intercolonial Railway showed that it was quite impossible to carry out the system of pro raig charges all along the line.There were, ne doubt, grievances to be redressed, and while he was ready to consider any scheme to remove actual grievances, he was bound to come to the conclusion that that bill could not be practically carried out.Mr.HAGGART said they only wanted fair administration, and he did not think the objections which he had heard shoul have any weight, as the system secmed to be favourably considered.Mr.MITCHELL thought some 1eagure should be adopted to prevent the wholesale slaughter, by railways, of the country.People were being continually killed, and he held that the Government were, in some measure, responsible for this.He wag not prepared to support the Bill, but he woald support its reference to a select Committ ee Mr.CARLTON, replying to Mr.Mitchell, said they had great reason for cou gratulation with regard to the management of our great railway lines, aud he for one would fisclaim this unjust attack on the railways of the country.Sir JOHN MACDONALD said the bill affected the rights of railway corporations and also the whole trade and commerce of the country.The question had been before Parliament year after year.They had a railway commissiowr working in Kugland, and they had a similar body working In the United states, yet at the same time all must feel the great weight to be given to the warnings which had proceeded from bis hon.friend, the Minister of Railways.He would recommend that the bill be re ferred to the Standing Committee on Rail ways, and he thought it was only by refer ring à to this Committee that his lon.friend had a reasonable ro-pect of getting the bill through arflament this year.They had for many years been in advance df English legislation, and especially last year by the establishment of grand committees where matters of this kind could Le freely and fairly discussed.He quite agreed with his hen.friend the leader of the Opposition that parties represen&n railway interests, as wel ag private citizens, should be heard Lefore the committee, which could not he done in the House.He would assure his hon.friend that he would have ample opportunity even on Government days vf bringing in his report He felt that there was an earnest desire on the part of the people of certain large sections in the country fur some legislation of this kind.NR ream Lio AM DLEG Mr.MCCARTHY Yiclded with, great see luctance to sending the bill to the large committee on railways.He was afraid it would not be able to make much advancement.There was both inside and outside of the House very strong opposition to the bill, but if the principle were admitted he thought the bill should be accepted or sent to à select committee.He would leave the vsponsibility of sending it to the commit- ée on railways on the First Minister- + and there was a cry from traders in all elonged to the Dominion Parliament.He |\" thought the bill should receive the favor- WATT ME NTREANT ER VIT The bill was read a second time and re- | ferred to the committee on Railways, Canals and Telegraph Lines.The House adjourned at 5.55 p.m.PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEES.The Committee on Banking aud Commerce met this morning and considered the bill to incorporate the Manitoba and North-Western Insurance Company.Some discussion took place on the bill, and several amendments were made following in the line adopted by the last Parliament.Clause 11 was amended to the effect that the company should not commence business until not less that $100,000 of capital stock had been actually paid in, and clause 22, giving power tu amalgamate with another company.was struck out.Several other minor amendments were also made.The bill respecting the Credit Foncier Franco-Canadian was next taken up and passed without amendment.The special committee appointed to consider Mr.Casgrain\u2019s bill for the better prevention of fraud in relation to contracts involving the expenditure of public money also met this morning, and, after discussing several clauses of the bill, adjourned of Saturday.NOTICES OF MOTION.ur Vanagse, on Monday next Address to His eElleney the Governar-General for copies of corres ndence from lst July, 1867, to this date,

Courr.\u2014Yesterday morning Mr.À.L.deBeaumont, advocate, and his brother, a special constable of the Court of Queen\u2019s Bench, were brought before the Police Magistrate on a charge of assault, preferred against them by Mr.Hamilton, one of the assistant clerks of the Crown.The latter alleged that on the previous afternoon Mr.deBeaumont, who was counsel for the defence of Timothy Warren, ou trial at the Queen\u2019s Bench for arson, went into the office of Mr.Hamilton and spoke to one of the witnesses in the case in a manner which that gentleman considered indelicute.He accordingly peremptorily ordered the advocate to leave the office instantly.Mr.deBeaumont ruffled at the tone in which the re quest was made, used strong language toward Mr.Hamilton and concluded by seizing him by the throat and shaking him up rather thoroughly.Mr.Hamilton then repeated his order, and this time succeed ed in tousing the ire of Mr.deBeaumont\u2019s brother, who in turn commenced a vigorous onslaught on Hamilton, and in a short tnue that gentleman had a pair of black eyes aud other marks of the fray.The two brothers were fully committed for trial at the Queen's Bench.AMUSEMENTS.ACADEMY

prisoner.The prisoner conducted his own defence, and stated to the jury that the shovel and haminers were given to him to sell by two young men whom he did not know and who met him on the street.He said he had served 22 years in the British army and had always borne a good character.His Honor charged strongly against the prisoner.The jury, after an absence of one hour, returned a verdict of guilty.RECEIVING STOLEN GOODS.Joseph Gagnon was placed at the bar, charged with receiving stolen goods, knowing them to have been stolen, the said goods being the property of Mr.I.A.Beauvais, merchant tailor of St.Joseph street.The articles consisted of a large number of pants, silk handkerchiefs, scarfs, gloves, neckties, &c., the whole valued at $412.The prisoner was defended by Mr.H.C.St.Pierre.Mr.I.A.Beauvais said that towards the end of last year he suspected that some of his goods were being stolen by some of his employees, and in December last he placed the matter in the Lands of Detective Fahey, who subsequently arrested a young clerk named Isaac Bertrand, whe confessed that he had stolen the articles and sold them to the prisoner, who kept a second-hand store on Notre Dame street west.The goods were stolen in small lots a time, so articles were miissed.Mr.Beauvais recognized the clothinz produced in Court as his property.Isaie Bertrand said he was in the employ of Mr.Beauvais in the month of November last ; witness stole during a period of two months about forty pairs of pants, which he sold to the prisoner; he identitied all the clothing produced m Court as having been stolen from his late master whose property it was; in addition there were also three coats and a number of pairs of gloves, sashes and a number of Sunday effects (new) which witneas swore he stole from the establishment of Beauvais, Witness had been in the employ of the prosceutor for two mouths before his arrest for having stolen the goods in question.Clovi- Belmure, in

the vie of the Grand Jury to the Mout.a: gaol.The presentment set forth that the number of male prisoners confined in |e gaol was 157 and of females, woman Catholics 162, Protestants 29.The Grand Jury found in goal a number of funatics who had undergone medical examination and who were awaiting orders to be transferre [ to the asylum.They expressed their admiration of the cleanliness, neatness aud excellent sanitary arrangements of the male and female prisons which they have visited.They also wished to call attention to the case of Egan, who lad been detained for over three months for in- =anity and also to that of Grece, who presented to them and to the attendants no signs of insunity and who had not even been examined by the doctor, as it was explained that it was customary, for the doctor\u2019s convenience, to wait until there were two or three cases to be examined at the same time.They urged that all such cases should be immediately attended to, so that those who were not insane might not bie unjustly detained, and those who were might be placed at once under the circumstances most suited to their recovery.The Grand Jury also returned thanks to His Honour for the lucid explanation which he had made to them of their duties, and expressed their appreciation of the courtesy with which they had been treated by the officials of the Court and of the gaol.Reference was furthermore made to the fact that many of the erimes which had been brought to their attention had apparently been caused by drink, and a hope was expressed that ere long better means would be put into operation for regulating the traffic in intoxicating liquors.His Honour, in thanking the jurors.fqr the manner in which they had performed their duties, promised that the suggestions made by them with respect to [unatics awaiting examination should have his best attention with a view to bringing about the required improvements.The Grand Jury were theu discharged.Joseph Lamontagne and Alfred Prevost then underwent trial on a charge of stealing a coat, and, after trial, were found guilty.The Court then adjourned.THE McCREADY-SEATH CASE.CONCLUSION OF THE CASE IN COURT.The case of the Union Bank of Lower Canada azainst Robt.McCready, was concluded yesterday, before Hon.Justice Rainville.Mr.Elliott, Manager of the Molsons Bank, on being examined testified that he thought the signature to the note sued pu was that of the defendant Robt.cCready.In cross-examination he stated that Le would not pndertake to swear that the signature to the note sued upon was that of the defendant.Mr.Nash, of the Union Bank, said that he had discounted the note for Seath believing it to be a genuine note of Robt.McCready\u2019s.Mr.Booth, bookkeeper to Mr.McCready, testified for the defence that in September last, Seath had admitted to him that he had forged $10,000 worth of McCready\u2019s paper.The note sued upon in this case was among the forgeries.itness swore positively that the signature to the note sued on was not McCready\u2019s.Mr.Booth was yesterday morning cross- examined by the Bank\u2019s Counsel with reference to his knowledge of McCready\u2019s signature.He said there were peculiarities about the defendant\u2019s signature which would probably be overlooked by one not intimately acquainted with it, but which he could always detect.A stranger, for example, might in some of McCready\u2019s signatures not observe the \u201cd\u201d owing to the manner in which it was written.He signed his name usually \u201c McCready\u201d and witness could always make out all the component letters.Other people might, however, take it for \u201c McCredy\u201d in some of them owing to a characteristic indistinctness of the * a.\u201d Witness, however, had never done so.As a rule also there were two small dots under thegmall ¢ of the \u201cMe\u201d; in fact, he did not remember ever seeing tlie signature without it.Witness was shown anumber of notes which he recognized as being signed by Mr.Mec- Cready.Witness first became aware of the accommodation notes given by Mr.McCready to Mr.Seath some months ago.Witness then continued that when the note on which the action was taken was presented, lie went to the Union Bank and told Mr.Nash that it was a forgery.That gentleman appeared to be much disturbed by the news.Finding that Seath was at Mr.Mc- Cready\u2019s office he hurried there at once and liad an interview with Seath and Mc- Cready.Witness did not know what passed.When Mr.Nash left the office Mr.McCready came to\u2019 witness and told him that Seath had admitted the forgery and requested witness to go with him into hie private office where Seath then.was and hear what he had to say.Witness accompanied his employee Into the office and saw Seath there, with his head hanging down and apparently much agitated.Mr.McCready said, \u201cTell Booth what vou have just told me.\u201d Seath, however, replied that the subject of this conversation was private business and would not admit anything to him.Witness, on being shown the note sued upon, swore that the signature was not Mr.McCready\u2019s.He swore positively that the signature in question was a forgery.The signatures to the other accommodation notes produced were also forgeries, George Troutbeck, the next witness called, stated that he knew Mr.McCready.Had been in his service for seven years, from 1870 to 1877.He often saw his signature and was perfectly familiar with it.Had frequently seen it since he had left his employ.Being shown the note sued on he Liated that it was a forgery.pr Uross-examined by Mr.Cramp: Could not swear that the note sued un was signed by Mr.McCready.It was a forgery.Being shown other notes witness identified them\u2019 as being\u2019 genuine and four others forgeries.\u2019 Dr.J.Baker Edwards was then subjected to u lengthy examination, in\u2019 the course of which he stated that he had examined about 250 notes given him oo genuine notes of eget eCready.Several of he exkävied veay carefully undef microscope, in all he had obsérved certain general uniform characteristics.In the note sued upon many of these characteristics were wanting, and witness was of opinion that the note in 1 question did not bear the genuine signature of Robert McCready.Witness had also examined four other notes fyled by Mr.Seath, and he was also of opinion that these did not bear the genuine signature of Robert McCready.AFTER RECESS.Messgs.M.C.Mullarky, Antoine Gougouin, Jame- McCready und Hugh Me- Gready were examined, and all testified to the effect shat the note sued upon was not genuine.At the conclusion of the evidence Messrs, Cramp and W.IT.Kerr, Q.C.\u2026 addressed the Court on behalf of the plain- tifls, the Luter dwelling upon what he testimony.Mr.J.S Hall, jr., then rose w aldress .| the Court on behalf of the defendant, Mr.| Bobt.McCready, but Hon.Justice Rainville, interrupting, said that he would follow the tule of the Privy Council and dispense with any state ment for the defen-e.He hed listened with great care and paid the utmost attention to the case during three days, and of all such cases thst had come before him there was never, he thought, one more clear than this.He would, however, take the record before him and render judgment in a few days.The Court theu adjourned.MONTREAL POULTRY AND PET STOCK ASSOCIATION.ANNUAL MEETING.The annual neeting of the Montreal Poultry and Pet Stock Association was held ast evening in the Mechanics\u201d Hall, The President, Mr.J.F.Scriver, occupied the Chair, and there was a large attendance of members.The minutes of the last annual meeting were read and conformed.report as follows: \u2014 The history of the past year has again demonstrated the fact that the receipts of our Exhibition are inadequate t» pay the expenses incurred and prize money offered Various reasons have been ascribed in the past to account for such a state of affairs,\u2019 and your Executive, in preparing for our late show, did their utmost to remedy any defects of the past.The Mechanics\u2019 Hall was engaged as being the best in the city for holding the show.Separate judges for the poultry and pigeons were secu Insteau of prize tickets, as formerly, diplomas were offered, and the bi were shown singly.Carnival week was selected as the best date to hold the Exhibition, as the city was expected to be crowded with visitors at that time.Our expectations were not realized.and again we are unable to pay our prize money in full.Apart from the financial aspect, thig year\u2019s exhibition must be considered the most successful yet held.Better birds are beirg exhibited year ufter year.The entries numbered \u201cover 600, and was the finest collection ever brought \u2018together in this city.Your executive have made applica tion to the Government ate Quebec for a grant to assist the Society in carrying out Its object in this Province, basing their claims on the importance of the interests encouraged by the Society and the sucee:# that has attended their efforts in the past, as well'as the fact that in the Province of Ontario the Pouliry Society get a grant of several hundred dollars from the Govern ment.The thanks of the Society are due to the following gentlemen who have so enerously subscribed to the funds of the ssociation :\u2014Hugh Paton, $10; A.Joyce, $10; R.Camphell, $5; J.G.Savage, $5; C.Gurd, $2; J.F.Scriver, $10; J.H.Cayford, $5; Dg.Nichol, $6; W.Lavers, $5; Dr.Andres, $5; T.Costen, $5; T.Hall, $5 ; and also the following who have donated their prize money to the Society : J.Anslie, $17 ; Dr.Nichol, $15; Sergeant Wilson, $5; T.Costen, $2.50; T.Hall, $2.50; Stuart Nichol, $2; W.Lavers, $5 ; Cox, $2; W.Winfield, $10; H.H.King, $5; J.Lunn, $6.> The receipts-for.the year were $432.49; the expenditure, $347.60 ; balance on hand, $84.89; amount due not paid, $80.15 ; prize money due, $83.50.After a brief discussion, qn motion of the President, seconded by Di Andres, the report was adopted.\"THE ELECTION OF OFFICERS | was then proceeded with, and resulted as follows :\u2014 President\u2014Dr.Nichol.Vice-Presidents\u2014Messrs.Thos.Costen, Thos.Hall and J.C.Philpot.Secretary-Treasurer \u2014 Mrford.Committee\u2014Messrs.J.F.Scriver, Dr.S.J.Andres, R: Lavers, H.Beckham, W.Lavers, J.Ainslie, W.Cox.R.G.Taylor, Wm.Winfield, A.P.Lyueb, and ÿ R, McLaren.On motion of Mr.J.Ainslie, seconded by Mr.Auld, it was unanimously resolved, «That a vote of thanks be tendered to Dr.Nichol for placing his residence at the disposal of the committee for their meetings during the year.\u201d A unanimous vote of thanks was also assed to Mr.J.H.Cayford, the efficient Secretary, for lis valuable services to the Society.A subscription list was then started to wipe out the indebtedness of the Society, which will be entirely free from debt when the subscriptions are collected.The diplomag won at the Society\u2019s last show, which are very beautiful in design, were laid before the meeting.After some minor businessdlie meeting adjourned.THE SOMMERVILLE LECTURES, CONCLUSION OF THE COURSE.The winter course of Sommerville lectures was brought to a.most successful conclusion last evening with an interesting lecture by Dr.T.Sterry Hunt, L.L.D., F.RS., on \u201cthe geology of the old and new world compared.\u201d Principal Dawson occupied the chair, and there was a good attendance.The able lecturer in à discourse.of about an hour described the geological formations of the old and new world, comparing them, with one another.As Dr.Hunt\u2019s views on this subject are so well known tu tlie geneidl reader it is unnecessary to go into his remarks in detail, sufficient i# it to say that he\" laid his views before his audience in a most interesting and instructive manner, his remarks being listened to with the deepest attention.The Chairman in closing the Sommerville course for tliis season desired to direct the attention of the public to the position of the Natural History Society as the oldest scientific institution with a large membership and à valuable property, and out of debt, ard stated that it would be happy to administer for the benefit of the public other bequests and benefactions for scientific purposes, and more especially for free scientific lectures.The Sommerville course was a great boot to the com: munity, but its value might be largely increased if there were funds sufficient to remwnerate lecturers, ta provide for the expense of experiments and illustrations, and to extend the course of lectures to reater length, so ag_ tp permit more con- ecutive aud full treatment of the subjects taken up.LE 4 w .J.H.Cay- Eppes

proprietors should be called each year, at which the auditor would submit Lis report.Kach parish should he represented by one member on the Board.To Mr.Ethier\u2014The Government should not name any of the Board.It is the peo- should be elected Ly the people, This is the case in Torento and Kingston, and the sytem worked well there.0.Mr.L.O.Hetu.one of the commission ers, was next examined.Ie stated that if the Seminary had not abandoned the schools shere would be no necessity of increasing the tax.He ignored whether the Seminary was able to meet this expenditure or not.The sale vf some of the property of the Board would not meet its wants.The iucreass in taxation was the only means of meeting the wants.If the subsidies to small schools were stopped some of tlie latter couldnot exist.During two vears that he hax been a member of the Board no other means had been advised by the latter to meet the case, He believed there had been extravagance, and but for that the Board would not now be in a financial crisis.The annnal reports published yearly were sufficient to show the position the Board was in.The commission then took recess.AFTER RECESS.Dr.Ed.Desjardins was examined.He stated that lie was in favour of having the primary education under the control of the Christian Brothers m preference to laymen, and this not so much because of the superiority of the system, but because the former was more conducive to the moral education of the children.He was in favour of having parish boards elected by proprietors, to look after matters of education, Mr.L.J.Lajoie, the accountant appointed by the Government to audit the books of the Connnission, then presented his report.Tt was a very lengthy but elaborate work, and covered the financial administration of the Board since 1868.The most minute details were contained in it.The following is a summary of this report: \u2014 STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIA- BILITIES.Assets.REAL ESTATE\u2014'* PLATEAU ACADEMY.\u201d

that Egan has been under police supervision for some time past, and that he left on Thursday unknown to the police.Jenkinson believed that Egan has fled because he thought that if Sheridan was
