Dæsar Sin, \u2014Knowing your untiring zeal in everything tbat is calculated to improve the condition of the working classes, 1 make bold to address you once more in reference to & class of mechanics called bakers, In my letter to you before, 1 alluded to the injustice done this class in having to work on the Sabbath, as also at night, My object now is to show that these customs may be done away with, without injury to any, and a decided benefit to the operator.The Messrs.Brown, bakers of this city, have been carrying on their business fur some ime, without either Sabbath or night work, with the best results to themselves and their men.\u2014 Now, might not every master baker in our city adopt the same system?1 believe all reasonable men will admit it.Hoping you will pardon we foroccupyiog so much of your valuable space.Tam, sir, &c., À SyuPATEIZER.A SUGGESTION, (To the Editor of the Witness.) Sir,\u20141 am one of the crowd at present in eearch of country quarters a short distance from the city.The rents demanded for the few houses that are to let are such as to preclude the possibility of people with moderate means from taking them.It appears\u2018to me that no better investment could be made than to purchase land and pot up wooden houses, which, I am informed, could be done for from £100 to £125 each, ina bealtby situation on the benk of the St.Lawrence, say at gome point between Mr.Ogil vie's farm and Knox's mill on the lower Lachine road.Such houses would always command from $100 to $120 for the season.Montreal, 11th Nay, 1866.H.B.[The lower end of tbe city aJl tbe way to Long Point is equally accessible and salubrious and the river scenery is more animated.Any enterprising proprietor who would make a row of cottages near the river, either above or below the city, would, doubtless, do well by Jetting them in the summer.Some plateau of the mountain might also be laid out on this plan with a winding way up to it, and a reguls omnibus service between the city and tbe new Alpine village \u2014Ep.] INJUDICIOUS TREATMENT OF JUNIOR CLERKS.Drax Sin,\u2014We frequently read in our city papers articles in defence of the brute species, and justly condemning the violation of the law established for their protection, but we bear nothing in condemnation of a more grievous wrong practised by employers upon their youthful employés, and junior clerks,\u2014compelling them to carry large burdens in the shape of parcels ton distance of a mile, more or lese, to save a few cents.Yesterday, à lad about 14 years of age, was seen wending bis way along St.Catherine street, carrying a large roll of new pen bent under the weight of Lis load, and frequently drop- ing itdown to rest, evidently ready to drop Binbalt tbrough fatigue.Now, sir, I am not opposed to junior clerks carrying small parcels; neither do [ think it derogatory to their position and character in society, but rather a personal benefit, inasmuch as it affords temporary relief from close confinement; but it is the perpetrators of such inbumanity as the above I complain of, and which, I am sorry to state, is of too frequent occurrence in our city, deserving not only public censure, but the strict interference of the law.Trustiog that you may feel disposed, to deal with this 2ubject in such a way as you usually do in defence of the oppressed, 1 remain yours, &¢c., Montreal, May 10, 1866.Hemaxty, THE EDUCATION QUESTION.(To the Editor of the Witness.) Stu, \u2014What are the friends of education doing?\u2018We hear of no agitation either in Montreal or in any other part of the Province.Will the Protestants of Lower Canada sit passive until they drift among the breakers?We have bad a promise from igh quarters, that, inthe event of a constitutional change, a change would be made in the school-law to satisfy the demands of the minority.Past experience teaches us how to value such promises and pledges.Much 1 often said to a posse till some dishonest game is played.ey throw us thebone and say, Graw that, and keep still til we devour tke whole carcase.The great Confederation is fast ap- hing.Nova Scotia is about ready; New runawick is fast coming over.Our government is anxious Taiting thelr final decision.\u2014 No time wil! be lost.en the Maritime Provinces say yra, the power in Ottawa vil] join bands quickly.The more burriedly it is consummated the better will it suit the ends of Lower Canadian rulers.They are ready to yield the general sway that they may grap more ly the local power.The great \u2018 / are bound to yield implicit obedience.We ask, then, the pertinent question, What will become of our educational institutions if the law stend as jt is?Will the minority get justice?Justice to Protestants ls not according to tbe faith and practice of Rome.Let all Protestants in Lower Canada, therefore, be alive to their dearest interests.Let justice be demanded before the blow is struck, The dis- sentient school law must be changed.The law asit now stands leaves the minority unprotected, and under the mercy of the majority.We only claim what is right and just, that is, to bave the law framed s0 as to give the Protestant minority of Lower Canada full control in the management of their own educational affairs.Every school district should send petitions to both houses when they sit, and pray for nothing short of this, ALMONTE AND VICINITY.(To the Editor of the Montreal Witness.) Almonte at present is one of tbe most prosperous villages in the province.In tbe manufacture of woollen goods it takes tbe lead, and is determined to keep it.There are already four woollen factories doing & profitable business.There is to be another built and completed ready for work by the first of November ensuing.Messrs.B.& W.Rosamond & Co.are the proprietors.It is to bem large, blue limestone building 134 by 58, five stories high, besides the basement.The dye-houses and boiler-houses are to be built of the same material, and are in themselves larger than any of the woollen factories now in operation.The island on which it is to be built contains sixteen acres.It is one of the most picturesque spots in Almonte.It is surrounded by roaring waterfalls of boundless power, in the midst of a fine agricultural country.The fall is somewhere over fifty feet.This new mill will contain twelve sets of machines, which will employ 200 hands, and manufacture 2000 yards of cloth per day.When completed it will cost $100,000.It is to be lit with gas.The same company are working other two large woollen mills.The mineral resources of the Townships are also beginning to attract attention.Iron ore is said to be abundant within one mils of Al- monte, A farm of Mr.Rea's has been bought, and the tests are to be applied immediately.Considerable excitement 18 already manifest among speculators.Large specimens of the ore are handed freely round.farmer that comes into town carrier heme wohunk.Sach unexpected discoveries in our quiet rural district naturally excited curiosity.It is also car- rently reported that there is oil at Wolfe's Grove,\u201d about two miles from Almonte.Towards the eastern part of the township, and within one mile from Carleton Place, lea found in large quantities on the surface.Every crevice in the rocks in several lots was absolutely full of it.A company was formed and smelting works immediately erected.A large quantity of pure lead was extracted from the ore and {warded to market.Farms in the neighborhood of the works, worthless for agri cultural purposes, were sold at fabulous sums.For two or three it was worked with considerable success.Finally, it waa resolved to sink a shaft.The surface diggings were abandoned, and all the strength of the Company was turned on the shaft.The sinking began in right earnest.Specimen after specimen was heaved from the mine.The water began to pour in upon them.Pump after pump was brought to bear, but still the water gained.Large and more powerful engines were tried, but to no p At lastit was abandoned.The miners left, and the excitement gradually died away.Now, we believe there is plenty of lead if water could only be overcome.We trust the time is not fur distant when the works will be resumed with success.Men of energy and capital are all that is wanted to develop the stores of wealth by which we are surrounded.+ Rasipest.Appleton, 30th April, 1866.FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT AT THE SEAT OF GOVERNMENT.Ortawa, May 10.Although little is said In the city prints about the movements of the Governor-General, our people exhibit no little interest in the representative of royalty.We have not been favored with the presence of a viceroy for years, and, therefore, cannot be expected to accept the honor in the matter-of-fact way that Quebecers and To- rontonians were wont to accept it.When be oes 10 church the fact is considered a subject of teresting conversation ; and when he takes a sail on the Ottawa, those who watch him from the shore are not all there by accident.THE CLEANSING OF THE CITY, iw anticipation of the advent of cholers, is progressing as fast as most people expected, although many of the back streets are still dirty enough.The Police Court for the last fow days has been occupied with little else than charges brought against the owners and occupants of dirty premises.These people seem to ignore the fact that the Health Officers are really doing them a kindness in compelling them to clean their yards, as they appear in Courtin the worst of temper, on account of being exhibited as criminals for what they do pot look upon se à crime.A CHOLERA HOSPITAL is about to be erected at the rxpense of the city Tt is said that itis to be situated on Bandy Hill, in rear of the burying-ground., The dwellers in that vicinity are indignant st the selec\u2018'nn of the site for the hospital.The Ci suggests that the placing of the cholera tal so near the graveyard looks like a grim joke.Talking about was Pockets are taxed, through the existence of this is just becoming the reiort of the aristocratic portion of the community.Quite a number o tlegunt residences have recently been erected there.PRESEXTATION.On Monday last the parishioners of Rev, Mr, Early (curate of Christ's Church in this eity) presented him with a purse and a complimentary address, on the occasion of bis relinquishing Lis charge io this city.GILNOUR'S BAW-NILLE on the Gatineau are now about to commence the summer's work, which iz to be one of unprecedented magnitude.The managers of that immense establishment allege that they will saw one thousand logs per day during the season.Carcetox.FROM OUR SOVA SCUTIA CORRESPUN- YaunouTs, Nova Scotia, May 7, 1866.Three exciting topics have occupied the public mind in this Province during the past month: The Fenian movements on the New Brunswick border; the arrival of the cholera at Halifax; and the adoption by our Legislature of resolutions looking to the establisbment of tte Confederation of the British North American Provinces.Your readers are already familiar with the prominent facts connected with the first of these topics, as well as the various conjectures, and somewhat contradictory rumors, whicl were current at the time.After preparation had been made to meet the invaders, and the United States authorities bad interposed at the right moment, the excitement aroused by the presence of the Fenians at Eastport subsided ; and we hear with satisfaction that the friends of Irish liberation have returned to New York without striking the first blow for their country, although it wag difficult to understand how the invasion of New Brunswick could promote the emancipation of Ireland.Every new development of Fenianism seems to confirm the view entertained by many intelligent persons from the beginning, that those who supply the money contri- bate it in good faith, while those who receive it are neither patriotic nor bonest.Their capacity for mischief continues, however, and those who are duped are not tbe only persons whose armed organization.Predictions are always bazardous, and time often reveals their folly, but there does seem some foundation for the fear which isexpressed by a portion of the religious press in tbe United States, that Fenian- fem, although à ridiculous farce so far as Ireland is concerned,\u201d may yet endanger the \u2018civil and religious institutions of the Republic,=~a pros pect which no one who loves truth and liberty can contemplate with satisfaction.It is s come fort to know that * we can do nothing (perma- pently) against tbe trntb, but for the truth.\u201d # Alelulia, for the Lord God Omnipotent reign.eth.\u201d The second exciting Lopic\u2014the arrival of cholera at Halifax\u2014~has led to the publication of some sanitary regulations, with the customary penalties appended ; and something bas been attempted by the better class of persons to pre - mote tbe general bealth ; but much remains to be done before it can be said that every precaution has been taken which common prudence suggests.The poor in Halifax are invited to apply to tbe Health-Inspector for lime, which he is prepared to dispense gratuitously; but, unless past experience is deceptive in its indications of what will be, many of those who need it most will fail to use the disinfecting agent, and the public health will suffer in consequence.\u201cAm I my brother's keeper?is a question of very wide application, andan affirmative answer is seldom tbe wrong one.Self-preservation gives additional force to the argument drawn from duty.Obedience to the two great com- mandmenis is as reasonable, as it is imperative.We suffer physically as well as morally by disobeying them.The third topic indicated above is the most exciting.The action of our Legislature in resolving, by a ajotity of twelve in the Lower House, and of eight in the Upper, \"that His Excellency the Lieut.-Governor be authorized to appoint delegates to arrange with the Imperial Government a scheme of union which will effectually insure just provision for the rights and interests of this Province,\"\u2014has created a good deal of feeling, and provoked the utterance of some tash statements.Ido not suppose that Yarmonth fairly represents the Provincial feeling.If it did, there could be no doubt of the unpopularity of Confederation.A speech of considerable length, delivered by our county member==if the report of it which lies before me is à correct one\u2014echoes the feeling of a large majority of his constituents.He considered it a mistake in Great Britain that she did not give up all her colonies on this continent in 1583.He pleaded the geographical position of Nova Scot, and claimed that union with the United States is more consistent and natural then union with Canads.\u201cI do pot think,\u201d he says, \u201cthat the people of Nova Scotia want annexation to the l'nited States ; but why should you drive them, against their interests and inclinations, into union with Canada, with which they have no natural means of communication, and no sympathy?° * ¢ + I love, and wish to live under, British Institutions.J bave no desire to change them ; one of mourning and lamentation among tbe people.Of course, we shall have to submit to it\u2014for I am not going to counsel rebellion.\u201d Your correspondent does not vouch for the correctness of the foregoing ; be seeks only to exhibit the view that prevails in this section of the Province, which is largely interested in shipbuilding.It is impossible to ascertain which party is in the majority throughout the Province.You will probably reproduce the letter which the Hon.Joseph Howe bas addressed to the people of Canada, and your readers will have the opportunity of ,.-Iging for themselves as to its value in the settlement of the question in dispute.His proposition to elevate and strengthen the Provinces excludes legislative union, but urges social and commercial intercourse by binding the Provinces together by railways, peopling the wilderness tracts which divide them, and establishing free trade in manufactures, and & uniform currency.He is unable to see what Confederation can do to promote mutual defence, An address, signed by the members who voted against the Confederation Resolution, has been forwarded to Her Majesty, through His Excel lency.The names ot twenty-three members are attached, five belonging to the Upper House and eighteen to the Lower.Their strong point is the propriety of submitting the yuestion to the people before legislative action is bad, changing the constitution of the government.\u2014 They avow attachment to the throne and institutions of Great Britain, and profess an indisposition to try rash experiments, by which our control over our own affairs must be surrendered, and our connection with the parent Site may be ultimately broken.The weather isbackward.The prospects for the fishermen are good, fish being very abundant, it is said.We are looking daily forn steamerto ply between this port and Bostou; also another to bring us nearer to Halifax.Both am needed.AB QUEBEC CORRESPONDENCE.QUEBEC, May 10th, 1545.The following vessels have arrived since my last report :\u2014 May & Bhip \u2018\u201cHunana\u201d\u2014Aberdcon\u2014ballast.HH, era Van Liverpool\u2014gen.cargo, Ship 4 Twecdndale\u201d\u2014Boston\u2014ballast.Ship \u201c Conway\"\u2014Hlo Janciro\u2014ballast.8hlp Rosenenth\u201d~Hulifax\u2014Hervings, Bak \u201c Myrtle\u201d GQ w- Cargo, ship \u201c Hi horton\u2019 k bonitéié Gre I in South giv hel SN tempting shorts, and then jendibg the gold ai Ébls section, so far as we can leaën, thé crop bas resent;

Although this system of emptying the flour out of the barrel increases the cost of inspection to me, yet it is evidently for the interest of the purchaser of flour to know that the actual weight of 196 Iba.is in the cask, that one would materially suppose that such strictness on my part would lead toan increase rather than a decrease in the amount inspected, and such I find to be really the result.The great bulk of tbe flour shipped to the United States, or taken for consumption, is not inspected.The inspection bas hitherto depended on the amount exported by sea-going vessels, For instance there was exported by sea in BBLS EXPORTED.BBLS INSPECTED.LIFFEREXCE 1861.605,942 651,837 48,895 1862.597,477 626,691 29,114 1863.576,165 618,520 42,365 1864.345,410 363,454 18,004 1865.178,693 246,658 66,965 You will perceive by these figures that in 1965 the inspection for home comsum)ition, and inland export, over and above the exports by sea, is 27 per cent.of the whole amount inspected, while the amount inspected for home consumption, over and above sca export, was only 5 per cent.! thus completely reversing the impression which your figures might give.tis unintentional on my part, but I have thought it well to notice it, because the fact is conclusive that the public appreciate the greater pains now taken to ascertain the weight of four.Again, if the inspection of 1865 is compared with 1861, 1862, aud 1863, it will be found that, while the amount inspected for home consumption and inland export in 1845, over sea exports, was 27 per cent.of the whole, 1861 showed only 7 per cent 1862 4 wg) wu 1863 #4 ÿ \u20ac I am, Sir, Your ob't serv 1, Joux Youna, Flour Inspeeter, NEW YORK MARKETS.(From N.Y.Independent.) Mosky Mager.\u2014Tbere has been considerable excitcment in the market.Frauds and failures have become numerous.Une large fraud, especially, committed by a John Ross, Ly forging checks, bas occasioned several fuilures among his victims ; and the Merchants\u2019 National Sank of Washington Las suspended for a large amount, the.Government itæelf beiug A large creditor for deposits amounting to $500,000 unsecured, This last- uamed failure was the result of illegitimate operations on the part of a Baltimore bauking- bouse, one of the firm being a director of the bank.All these occurrences produce a wider and wider extending distrust.Notwithstanding the large payment of goid for interest on the public debt, the price Las been maintained, owing to the decline in cotton, the call from European houses for repayment of advances on consignments of cotton there, the demand for gold to export, and the rise in the rates of foreign exchange.The amount of gold shipped last week was $1,247,- 24%, and gold closed at Saturday at 127}.The decline in cotton scems likely to be permanent, and will probably be greater, as the eceipts are very large.Consequently, shipments will be renewed at the declive, which will restore the previoussiate of things, The supply of money lar ge, and call loans aro made at five tosix | per ceut.to first-class houses.The demand for WooLex Factour ar Suzassoors.\u2014À woot- len factory 154 feet by 56 feet, and including dye-houses and other out-buildings which wild extend about 200 feet on the river, is about to be erected on the Magog at Sherbrooke in the course of the ensuing aummcr.\u2014Trade Review.Dev Goona.\u2014The event of the week has been the large Package Trade Sale for account of Messrs.Geo.Winks & Co., which took place on the 5th, consisting of two hundred and any kages assorted goods.Quite & number of uyers, both town and country, were ry and most of the goods were diposed of, all offer being sold.Prices obtained are stated to have been .atisfactory, though they can be-dly bave ben very remunerative.This market is too limited apparently for this description of trade, which in the large cities of tbe United States bas become the favorite mode of doing business, The following were the prices obtained :\u201439 bules containing 4241 pieces Hoyle's Print, from 10Jd.to 119d;

and trade bas ceased to be active at private s:lr, Buyers only take what is wanted for immediate consumption, and all look for still lower prices.Importers complain of the low prices.Yet, judging from the avidity to send Soods from France, England, and Germany to this market, we think prices must yicld some profit, The low rates of exchange that prevailed for so long a period, the expected decline in gold here, our increasing exports, and the increased desire to invest foreign capital in United States securities, have bad a great deal of influence in promoting consignments of goods to this country, It is not merely what can be obtained for an imported article, but at what ao exportable article can be obtained, that governs exchange.It has not paid to remit proceeds of sales in gold for some time back ;
