situation remains much the same as has been outlined in recent articles.Trade everywhere is quiet, and a careful canvass of the situation does not reveal anything particularly bright or particularly depressing.As a rule pur chases of goods are guaged pretty much in accordance with actual requirements, yet several large houses report that sales during the past quarter of the year compare favorably with corresponding time last year.It will have been noticed by the table published by us this morning that the total value of the goods entered for consumption at this port during March shows the considerable decrease of $1,324,250.No doubt much of this diminution is due to the very general shrinkage in values wlich has taken place, but the fact remains that the goods entered for consumption are much less in volume.The distribution of merchandise continues to be retarded by the bad condition of the country roads.Many shipments are being heid back until summer freight rates are established, and bus more orders are being received to be shipped contingent upon such freight conditions.There seems to be a very general opinion among business men that freight this year will rule low from keener competition and other causes, aud the question is being freely discussed.\u2018The actual condition of the wholesale markets is given elsewhere.Chicago has been a perfect vortex of

for black leather, despite the high price ot hides.Supplies of all kinds are ample for the requirements of trade, and the buying policy of manufacturers is still a cautious one, they refraining from any attempt to anticipate the future.Sole leather has improved in value, and recently a large movement has taken place, sales aggregating about $70,000 worth being heard of.lack leather, however, has Seen very dull, and does not seem to be in accord with sole or hides.We quote : \u2014 Spanish Sole No.L.2 @ 027 NO.Besse sense 03 @ 0 Do NO.3.cc se sens can 0 019 @ 021 China Sole, No.1.028 @ 024 Do

active than a week ago, and the rush on the part of manufacturers to secure supplies has moderated.Dealers could still sell leather to arrive, but they decline to do so in any quantities.Stocks continue very light, and the position is fully as strong as before reported.In view of the more active cutting of leather by manufacturers in a few weeks, dealers are not disturbed, but consider that prices will be higher before they are lower, Manufacturers of boots and shoes are generally busy with the buyers who are now in town, hence are paying less attention to leather.Without particularizing, then, it can be stated that all descriptions of leather are fully as firm as a week ago, although the demand has been lees active.LUMBER\u2014 À quiet and steady business is being done, which is likely to expand as the season advances.As it is, however, transactions are mostly to cover immediate wants, and although buyers are willing to accept present prices, they refuse to accede to any increase in cost.On the part of gellers there is no inclination to ask higher prices, so that the market may be called steady, The supply on hand is ample, but several orders have been placed for spring delivery to replenish existing stock.As regards the export demand, it is dull and uninteresting, but it should be noted that freights will be 10 per cent lower this year than last.This is caused chiefly by increased competition between freight carriers.We quote :\u2014 Black walnut 1st &2nd per M.$100 00 @ 0 st per ro si 3 at = > 00 Do M.000 @ 120 00 Do culls per M.6000 @

my notice from time to time the fulsome notices of Mr.Hickson in that paper, as it is well understood that they proceed from persons in the Grand Trunk employ, more particularly from an official immediately under Mr.Hickson, who has distinguished himself not only in the Gazette but in the Stockholder and other quarters.Now, if this party wishes his salary increased by Mr.Hickson, or other favors from him, I do not see why the public should be bored by his newspaper effusions, which are intended as the means of ingratiating himself with Mr.Hickson.Far better that he should write his chief a private letter, or a dozen of them, and pour out his soul in eulogy of him, and attribute to him all the graces and virtues in the calendar.People do not want such stuff in the newspapers which they are obliged to read.Let the party who calls himself \u201c Canadian \u201d one day and \u201c Lex\u201d the next day, if he wishes to do the square thing by both Mr.Hickson and the public, withdraw from the newspapers those endearing epithets which should be kept for women and the tea table; let him throw them into the form of poetry and contribute a few verses of promiscuous flattering for Mr.Hickson\u2019s album.A literary nosegay of this description may be all right between friends, or between master and servant, but the average newes paper reader either smiles a quiet, cons temptucus smile when such things are placed before him as emanating from the public, or expresses his disgust with the effort to turn a newspaper into a publication surrendered to the uses of a mutual admiration society.Yours, Tommy JUNIOR.That Report.To the Editor of THE HERALD : A paragraph in to-day\u2019s HERALD contains a quotation from Professor Chapman\u2019s letter to the Toronto Mail, animadverting upon Dr.Selwyn\u2019s disparaging remarks before the Geological Committee.THE HERALD wished to know the meauing of the reference made by Professor Chapman to a certain official report on the Londonderry Iron Mines, mace, as he pretty plainly insinuates, by ir.Selwyn, in the interests of the original owners of the property, After all there is no mystery about the matter.The official report of the Geological Survey for 1872-73 includes a very elaborate report by Dr, Selwyn on the property, illustrated by maps, analyses of the ores, etc.Those witnesses who have complained so loudly about the want of practical information on mining matters in the works of the survey must surely have overlooked this particular report, which certainly is uot wanting in details, It is a remarkable coincidence that the pro- perfy is believed to have changed hands about the time of the publication of the report in question.Probably this is one of the instances referred to by Dr.Selwyn in his testimony before the committee, in which he states that his name was influential in inducing English capitalists to engage in Canadian mining enterprizes.But the question remains : How far was he justified in taking advantage of his official position to promote private interests ?Yours, LEONIDAS.EPPs\u2019s COCOA.\u2014GRATEFUL AND COMFORTING.\u2014\u2018* By a thorough knowledge of the

of railway between Painsec Junction and the boundary of Nova Scotia.THE HERALD pointed out some time ago that if Quebec was to be recouped for what she had sunk in the Quebec, Montreal and Ottawa line, New Brunswick had a claim of long standing for a contribution to the Inter-colonial railway which had not been made good to her.New Brunswick may thank Quebec for finally getting her claim allowed, a9 there can be little doubt that the same wilful resistance to this equitable claim which has been offered for fifteen years would have been continued but for the necessity of coming to terms with Quebec.It is a remarkable fact that the Dominion Government has withheld for fifteen or sixteen years monies which it now acknowledges were justly due,and the payment of which it was resisting up to the moment Quebec Province appeared upon the scene with her demands.It may secm very humiliating to other provinces to know that just settlements with them for debts fairly due must depend upon the humor of Quebec and the relations of the Dominion Government with Quebec.If the New Brunswick claim was bogus it should not have been paid at all, butif it was an honest claim\u2014as it was\u2014it should have been paid fifteen years ago.The delay in acknowledging this claim is, however, only characteristic of the mannerin which equitable claims have been ignored at Ottawa or opposed ina manner involving heavy expenses to the Dominion and the parties interested.The claim for which $150,000 is now being paid after fifteen years delay has cost New Brunswick considerable for delegations alone.Every year or two a fresh delegation from New Brunswick appeared at Ottawa pressing the subject on the attention of the Dominion Government.For the last year or two the matter has been under investigation in connection with the Railway Department and was referred to experts.The last that was heard from it previous to the appearance of $150,000 in the estimates was that the Government would not pay it, or that the sum allowed would be a bagatelle compared with the amount claimed.There has been, therefore, a complete and sudden change of front in regard to this item.It was probably seen that the Government could not deal as liberally as was necessary with Quebec and altogether ignore this New Brunswick claim.Such a course would have smacked so strongly of injustice that it appears to have been finally decided to do now what should have been done fifteen years ago.Similar delays, involving great injustice, arose in connexion with the question of riparian rights in the fisheries.For five or six years the Government opposed the riparians, had them fined and maltreated, and harraseed them in every conceivable way.They were driven from their own ground, their property seized and themselves haled before the courts for punishment.The Department of Fisheries was advised by its more intelligent officers that it was in the wrong; still, it kept up its persecution of men who were standing on their rights, while the Government had no footing in law, but was constantly engaged in violating the law.The Government incurred heavy expense in every form of law court in the Dominion) from the parish magistrate,s court to the Supreme Court of Canada.What it has cost the country to have the Government violate the law so many times and after go flagrant a fashion, we do not know, but there cannot be a doubt of the account showing a frightful waste of the public money.It might be well for some independent member of Parliament to call for a statement of this expenditure\u2014 say, for the last aix or seven years\u2014that the country may fully understand how much the whole miserable, vexatious, and undignified proceedings, aggravated by unpardonable delays, have cost the people of Canada.The question of the support of minor criminals is likely to go through the same round of vexatious delay.The Provincial claim is equitable and just.It has everything to recommend it.Its admission by the Government would be for the public advantage.But the Government will not admit that the Provinces are right.It seemingly prefers that what it ought to yield as an act of justice should be extorted from it by pressure and force, It will probably resist the demand until it is again cornered by Quebec or some other province, thus leaving the unpleasant impression that it will not do right for right\u2019s sake, but only on compulsion.Many instances might be cited where the Government of Canada has done injustice not only to provinces but to private individuals\u2014and when we speak of \u201cthe Government\u2019 we do not refer to any one Government.No one set of Ministers, or any individual Minister, is alone responsible for this state of things.The truth is that Ministers as a rule take so little pains to inform themselves of the details of the business of their departments that the management is left almost exclusively to subordinates, whose ideas of the requirements of the pnblic interests or of what is due to public sentiment are very vague and unsatisfactory.It matters little to the ordinary officeholder whether public or private interests suffer or not.He fancies that if he does not resist everything in the form of change, that if he permits any departure from the beaten path, the Ship of State will topple over.If a wrong is perpetrated by an officer of a department it can only be fully redressed by costly litigation.The Waterbury-Dewe case, for which the Dominion Government had to pay heavy damages, is in point.Thesubordinate in this case took charge of the Post-office Department, and the entire influence of the Government was employed to resist the redressing of a most grievous wrong dome by an inspector.Ultimately, after years of delay following the outrage, the Government was compelled to acknowledge its wrong, and after the act of the subordinate had cost the country six or seven thousand dollars.We suppose this state of things must continue until the Heads of the Departments, the Ministers who are paid large salaries for services gupposed to be rendered, are made to understand that the country expects them to master the duties of their offices and to govern their subordinates instead of being governed by them.When this condition of affairs has been reached we shall probably see fewer acts of injustice perpetrated in the name of the Government, fewer delays in the settlement of just claims, and à stronger sense of responsibility felt by those who are charged with the administration of the public affairs of Canada.\u2018\u201c UNAPPROACHABLE ABILITY.\u201d A friend\u2014it may be a servant\u2014of Mr.Hickson in yesterday\u2019s Guzette gushes over \u201cMr.Hickson\u2019s unapproachable \u201c ability as a railway manager,\u201d and tries to say something offensive of Tum HERALD.Where is the evidence of this \u201c unapproachable ability ?\u201d Is it found in the North Shore Railway correspondence which is published on the same page of the Gazette?Is it seen in Mr.Hickson\u2019s anxiety to surrender to the Canadian Pacific, after a year\u2019s experiment, a road which he was in such haste to grab in order to prevent the Canadian Pacific frem securing it?Is this confession of managerial imbecility to be turned into \u201c proof positive as holy writ\u201d of Mr.Hickson\u2019s \u201c unapproachable ability as a railway manager 7\u2019 Let us examine Mr.Hickson\u2019s record on this North Shore Railway question.He advised his company to secure this road and keep it out of the hands of the Canadian Pacific on any terms.The latter company were not to reach Quebec if it could be prevented, Mr.Hickson having secured for the Grand Trunk all the roads leading to Quebec from the West.Next we have Mr.Hickson, in the notorious correspondence published by himself at the opening of the Parliamentary session, repezting of his possession of the North Shore and asking the Government to help him swap with the Canadian Pacific, the Grand Trunk to take in exchange for it the Ontario and Quebec, which had been built in spite of Mr, Hickson\u2019s opposition.A few weeks later we have Mr, Hick- son roosting several pegs lower, \u2018Now he writes to the Government asking them, in effect, to influence the Canadian Pacific to take the North Shore road \u201c for any sake.\u201d He has abandoned the idea of preventing the Canadian Pacific from getting possession of it.He has abandoned his haughty demand to have the Ontario and Quebec in exchange for it.He has come down to \u201c hard pan \u201d and asks to be relieved of it on any terms.We suppose we are expected to treat these successive changes of policy in regard to this one piece of railway as evidencing au \u201c unapproachable ability as a railway manager,\u201d and we are asked to believe that they furnish convincing evidence of the presence amongst us of one whose dictum in railway matters is to be accepted without hesitation or questioning.What those three different positions in connexion with the North Shore road, all assumed within a twelve month, really establish, however, is something very different from \u201c unapproachable ability.\u201d We should say they have more the appearance of \u201c unapproachable \u201d recklessness, if not stupidity.They certainly betray nothing of those far-sighted, sagacious qualities for which the Grand Trunk Company have been paying and which they had a right to expect in their General Manager.Trusted, as he was, with almost unlimited power, Mr.Hickson plunged his Company into this scheme of securing control of the North Shore.His sole object was to \u2018head of\u201d the Canadian Pacific, upon which he has been perpetually warring.Within nine months after taking possession he finds he has made a grest blunder, involving serious consequences to his company and still more serious results to those who have associated themselves with the Grand Trunk in this scheme to \u201c head off\u201d the Canadian Pacific.He then raises another row with the Canadian Pacific and the Gov.ernment to compel them to take the road off the Grand Trunk\u2019s hands and thus save his reputation with the Grand Trunk Company in England.In this he fails, and the shareholders in England discover that the Grand Trunk is not the power it once was in the Canadian Parliament, and Mr.Hickson\u2019s prestige suffers accordingly.The last scene shows Mr.Hickson on his knees to the Government.He has got to do something to satisfy the people in England, who apparently have not the same exalted views of his \u201c unapproachable ability \u201d that are confidingly entertained at Point St.Charles.Mr.Hickson is making his last effort to get rid of the North Shore, of which he took possession with such a flourish of trumpets only a year ago.It is said he is summoncd to England to give an account of his stewardship, and he is most anxious to have the Grand Trunk and the North Shore parted before he crosses to meet his proprietors.It may suit Mr.Hickson\u2019s card to be able to say in England that the Grand Trunk is no longer the controller of the North Shore, but the prospect is that Mr.Hick- son will have to visit Eugland bearing his North Shore speculation with him.But of course he has what his friends describe as \u201cunapproachable ability ;\u201d and although this does not create Grand Trunk dividends, or prevent bad speculations, for the Grand Trunk (the North Shore affair being one of a dozen) or rid the Grand Trunk of any of its useless investments, it must of course always be a satisfaction to a waning influence to know that some friend can still asseverate in the newspapers that the \u201cability\u201d to do desperate railway deeds is still quite \u201c unapproachable.\u201d The friend might add that the expedition shown by Mr, Hickson in getting from a grand and towering height to a very low level in the shortest possible time is equally \u201c unapproachable,\u201d and if evidence of the fact be needed, the public can be pointed to Mr.Hickson\u2019s relations with the North Shore Railway.FEDERAL ENCROACHMENTS.The vote on Mr.Mercier\u2019s resolutions in support of the Provincial autonomy and in condemnation of the encroachments of the Government at Ottawa, was about what might have been expected.It stood as follows : \u2014 Yeas\u2014 Bernard, Bernachez, Boyer, Cameron, Demers, Gagnon, Irvine, Joly, Le- mieux, Marchand, McShane, Mercier, Rin- fret dit Malouin, Robidoux,! Shehyn, Stephens, Turcotte and Watts\u2014Total, 18.Nays\u2014Archambault, Assalin, Audet, Beaubien, Beauchamp, Bergevin, Brous- seau, Caron, Cassavant,Charlebois, Desaul- niers, Deschenes, Desjardins, Duckett, Duhamel.Faucher De St.Maurice, Fregeau, Garneau, Lavellee, Leduc,Lyuch, Marcotte, Marion, Martel, Martin, Nantel, Owenz, Paradis, Picard, Poulin, Poupore, Richard, Robertson, Robillard, Sawyer, St.Hilaire, Taillon, Thornton and Trudel\u2014 Total, 39.The Bleus, through their newspapers and in the Legislature, have been posing ag patriots of the first water, but when resolutions are proposed, voicing what they declare to be their * principles,\u201d they coolly vote them down! There is any amount of lip loyalty to Quebec on that side of the Housebut no disposition to vote as they talk;\u2014any amount of buncombe but no such thing as placing themselves on record as voting against the centralization tendencies of the Federal administration and Parliament.After this the people of Quebec will know just how much reliance to place on such noisy utterances as those which have accompanied the recent demands on the Dominion Government for more cash.It is seen that the Bleus have accumulated a choice body of patriotic phrases and threats and catchwords for use when 4 movement is to be made to extort financial aid from the Dominion, but the end accomplished, patriotism is sent to the rear, the patriotic pretence is dropped, and the Blew representatives in the Provincial Legislature hasten to record their votes in opposition to their own protestations and to what they have been pleased to term their principles.\u201d It isa remarkable example of inconsistency but not unexpected.No one believed that the Bleu clamor in favor of Provincial rights was anything but a blind.No one supposed that the Blew threat of seceding from Confederation unless the Federal encroachments ceased was anything but an attempt to coerce the Federal authorities into concessions which were to put money in somebody\u2019s pocket.No one, in short, believed that Provincial politics, as represented by the Bleus, had reached a higher moral plane than their acts had illustrated in the past.We have had the same old game of brag, bluster, false pretence, and stupid assertion of superior virtue and patriotism, to be succeeded by the same old style of cowardly retreat when the demand was made to back their professions by their votes.We should suppose that this exposure of the true character of Bleu pretension to be regarded as the opponents of Federal encroachments would not be without its influence on the public mind.It ought at least to open the eyes of those Reformers in Ontario who have been hankering for an alliance with the Quebec Bleus in the belief that a common understanding on the question of resistance to Federal encroachments might lead to common party action and new political alliances.If Mr.Mercier\u2019s motive in forcing the Bleus to publish their inconsistency to the world was to undeceive the western Reformers we should suppose he has succeeded.At all events, if this evidence is not sufficient to prove the utter hollowness and hypocrisy of Bleu pretensions in this direction we do not know what more or better can possibly be offered.Men who will not be convinced by this expose would not believe the angel Gabriel himself, TIE MONTREAL HERALD, AND DAILY COMMERCIAL GAZETTE.THURSDAY, FRENCH AND ENGLISH IN QUEBEC.The New York Sun contains a letter dated at Montreal, April 6, descriptive of the relations of the English and French in the Province of Quebec.1t paints a doleful picture of the condition of the English and is calculated to arouse sympathy abroad for the \u201c down-trodden Saxon.There isa good deal of truth in the correspondent\u2019s statements, but some are quite erroneous, and the letter as a |.whole is misleading.If the Province of Ontario were described in the same style and sympathy worked up for the French minority in that province or in any of the other provinces where the English are in an overwhelming majority, the French situation might be regarded by people abroad as decidedly uncomfortable.The truth is that here, as in every other British colony enjoying responsible government, the majority rules.There is a large majority of French in the Quebec Legislature by the same rule that sends a large majority of English to all the other Provincial Legislatures.The Montreal City Council contains a majority of French members, because Montreal is overwhelmingly French.It is a fact, however,\u2014and it should be stated to the credit of the French of Montreal\u2014that until recently, although the French rate payera were so greatly in the majority, there was a majority of English speaking members of the Council.Itis of course useless to expect a city like Montreal or à province like Quebec to be ruled by exclusively English notions ; but it ought to be stated that both in the Montreal Council and the Quebec Legislature there are no attempts to treat the English minority in any other than a fair and friendly spirit.We recognize the fact that in the French press and by the mouths of French politicians appeals are sometimes made to national and religious prejudices, but, on the other hand, it is also the fact that the English press and the politicians are sometimes offenders in the same manner.That the Eng- jish of Montreal and the Province possess an influence in public or municipal affairs can not be doubted.That they do not possess more than their present influence is entirely their own fault, as they system_ atically neglect the means within their reach for extending that influence.That they do not hold their proportion of the public offices is not true ; and that every offiee goes to the French now-a-days is simply street talk and unworthy of consideration.If, as the letter states of Montreal, \u201cthe great business houses are English, the shipping trade, the carrying trade, the finest wholssale and retail stores are all English, the leading Lanks are English,\u201d etc, etc., such'a state of things can surely be utilized to extend English influence to its legitimate bounds.In their wealth, theirintellectual activity, their enterprise, their energy in various directions, their liberality, their social standing, etc, the English of Montreal possess resources which should be influential in the affairs of the city and Province and which are cheerfully acknowledged by their French fellow-citizens, It remains, practically, with themselves to fix the just limits of that influence.That they can rule Montreal of their own motion is, of course, absurd, and their true course is to act in alliance with the most enterprising, intelligent and liberal of the French population.The best elements of the two nationalities may be counted upon to wield such an influence in this city and Province as will under any circumstances secure English fair play for all parties, creeds and nationalities.MR.SENECAL'S LAST.The Senecal scheme on foot now is to compel either the Dominion Government or the Canadian Pacific Company to pay for the North Shore road, not what it is worth to the Pacific Company but a sufficient sum to enable the Grand Trunk to save itself and to put money in the purse of Mr.Senecal and his associates.We shall learn before long what success Mr.Senecal is to meet with in this, his first raid on the Dominion Treasury.His name has been too long associated with Quebec politics, having been the principal cause of the downfall of the Mousseau Government.Having exhausted the field of his adventures in this Province he has turned his attention to the Dominien Government and Parliament.His methods for reducing the Dominion Government to submission have been thorougb, the change of front by several Quebec and Montreal newspapers, formerly supporting the Government, being due exclusively to the fact that he was either their proprietor or guardian.His \u2018game has been played under the eyes of the public.There has been no attempt at concealment.The question now is : how much of the public money is going to be thrown away to propitiate this man and enable him to carry out his North Shore Railway speculation to a successful issue ?How many millions ?THE GREAT SCARE IN QUEBEC IN 1837.\u2014We will endeavor to find room for this entertaining sketch on Saturday.MARRIAGES, Mururss-MarcoLm.\u2014On April 8, by the Rev.Mr.Mills, Henry Mullins, to Lizzie Malcolm, all of this city.No cards.HorreR-Cross.\u2014On the 3rd inst, by the Rev.J.H.Stewart, at the Methodist Parsonage, Vankleek Hill, Hugh Hunter, Esq., to Miss Adelina Florence, second daughter of Harrison Cross, Eeq., all of West Hawkesbury, Ont.DEATHS.ANDREWS.\u2014At Leamington, England, on the 25th March last, Henry Ogden Andrews, formerly of the City of Montreal, Esquire, Advocate.u BUTCHERS\u2019 SCALES!

elected.CUSTOMS CHARGES AT ST.VINCENT.Mr.HESSON asked whether the Government have seen an article in the Winnipeg Sun to the following effect: \u201c Trouble is likely to arise over the inauguration of a new system of having goods manifested at St, Vincent by the Canadian customs authorities, rendering it necessary to carry manifests with the way-bills, that an immigrant who arrived with the first load of immigrants \u2018 this season informed a reporter that a customs broker named Chapman, who lives in St.Vincent, charged each member of the party who had bagage fifty cents à piece for passing jt.Owing to some hitch the manifests were not signed and the immigrants had to pay another fifty cents to get their goods Sir HECTOR LANGEVIN rose and said : \u2014Mr.Speaker, 1 am sorry to ask the attention of the House at this late hour, but this is the first opportumty I have had since the publication in the Globe newspaper of an article which reflects on myself, not only as a private individua', but as a member of this House, as a Minister of the Crown.If the matter referred to meonly as a private individual I night, as have done many times when attacks have been nade agaiust me in the press, have passed it without calling the attention of the House to the matter, but I consider that my honor is not my property alone in the position I occupy, that it is the property of my party, it ia the property of this House, it is the property of the public at large, and therefore when my honor is attacked in the way it has been, it is my duty to come and explain to the House how the matter sands.Of the course cf the writer of the article or of the Globe newspaper I shall say nothing, I leave that to be appreciated by the public and by the members of this House.Mr.Speaker\u2014In these articles from the Globe by the correspondent of that paper from Ottawa, and in an editorial of that paper also, it is stated that last year I received from my friends a testimonial, which of course had nothing to do with this House, and which could be presented to me as others have been presented at different periods to other public men, but the articles go further and they say that the contributors to that fund, or to that testimonial, were contractors and other parties having to deal with my department,and that their contributions to that testimonial had affected ny independence as the head of the department and had induced me to decide cases then against justice and against my duty as a Minister of the Crown, and for that, Mr.Speaker, I must ask the attention of the House to the different cases which have been charged against me.I shall be very short, because I do not want to delay the business of the House, but I must clear myself from these accusations aud show to the House and to the country that they are without foundation.The first case that is brought against sed.Enquiry was made at the Cana- me is that; of Mr.J.Goodwin, whose Dan Pacific Railway offices about the| claim was settled by my department.matter and the facts were in the main cor- Mr.roborated,\u201d and is there any truth in such statements ?Mr.MCLELAN replied that the Department had received no advice on the subject.No new rule had been framed, and the game regulations applied as at all other ports in the country.Mr.MASSUE asked whether the Government have matured the plan they had ander consideration for the appointment cf inspectors to supervise the returns of banks in the Dominion, and, if so, whether 1t is their intention to bring down a measure to that effect during the present session.Sir LEONARD TILLEY replied that some time ago the Government had amended the act, and since then the subject hind riot been brought to their attention or engaged their consideration.It was not the intention of the Government to arrange for an inspection during the present session.THE INDEPENDENCE OF PARLIAMENT ACT.On the motion of Sir JOHN MACDONALD for the third reading of the bill respecting the Independence of Parliament act Mr.BLAKE renewed his objections to the bill, and said it was an attack on the independence of Parliament.He would have preferred that a special bill had been repared directed to this particular case.fa support of this argument, he referred to the act passed by the Mackenzie Government in 1877, which, he said, was passed against the remonstrances of the hon.gentlemen now occupying the treasury benches, not merely by vote, but by speeches, and which had provided only that if the members in question bona fide believed that they were not disqualified they were to be indemnified against the liabilities, penalties, ete, for that seesion only, and if after the end of the session they did not choose to go back to their constituencies, they would in the succeeding sessions be exposed to such liabilities and penalties.He moved in amendment that the bill be recommitted to committee of the whole with power to amend the same by inserting a clause in the same words as those contained in the indemnity act of 1877, as the third and fourth clause of the bill, and which limited the indemnity and qualification to a seat in the House to the present session.Sir JOHN MACDONALD said it was _ quite true that this bill was introduced on \u2018account of the question of doubt having been raised in the individual case of Sir Charles Tupper, but the alteration of the independence of Parliament act in the first clause did not affect Sir Charles Tupper\u2019s case, because the committee on privileges and elections had already reported that Sir Charles Tupper did not vacate his seat and was still the sitting member for the County of Cumberland during this session, and unless he forfeited his seat by some other act he remained the sitting member for the whole of the present Parliament.The House, having concurred in this report, the question was settled beyond a doubt.The House had said that he [Sir Charles] had a right to his seat and, therefore, if he was put to any legal penalty or expenditure the House had the right to indemnify him.The hon leader of the Opposition had moved an amendment to limit the indemnity and ualification to the present session, and therefore, if Sir Charles Tupper took his seat again next season, it would necessitate their passing a sessioval act of indemnity.He could not agree with the amendment.Mr.MILLS heartily concurred in the amendment moved by hon.leader of the opposition.r.KAULBACH spoke in high terms of the eminent services rendered by Sir Charles Tupper to his country and of the high respect in which he was held by both the hon.members of the House and the people at large.He would therefore regret that the House should decide that he was not entitled to his seat.The members were called in and a vote taken on the amendment, which was lost on division\u2014Yeas, 58, nays, 117.Mr.FISHER then moved an amendment that the bill be re-committed for the purpose of striking out its first section, which was lost on division.The bill was then read a third time and passed.CONCURRENCE IN SUPPLY.The Houee then proceeded with concur rence in the items from the Committee of Supply.In answer to Mr.Blake, Sir JOHN MACDONALD said that the business of the House would not permit them to prorogue before Easter, but he he hoped the House would.he prorogued on Wednesday, or at latest Thursday of Easter week.It being six o\u2019clock the Speaker left the chair.AFTER RECESS.Sir CHARLES TUPPER laid on the table papers relating to the proposed subsidies to railways.BETTER LATE THAN NEVER.On motion of Mr.BEATY the bill respecting the London Life Insurance Co.was read a second time and referred to the committee on banking and commerce.The House concurred in the items from the committee of supply.SIR HECTOR LANGEVIN\u2019S EXPLANATION.On motion to go into committee of sup- Ply, Goodwin was contractor for the wall surrounding this building.The contractor\u2019s claim, after he had been paid for his work, according to Lis contract, amounted to $3,500.That claim was made in 1879, and having other contracts which had to be attended to without delay, his claim had to remain there till he sent details of it.He chose to send his details only two years afterwards, in 1881.The claim was then investigated by officers of my department, that is to say, by the chief architect, who in his report stated * that the construction of the work was attended with many difficulties unfor- seen at the time of tendering, that the specification called for excavations to an average depth of five feet, therefore the excavation below that should be considered extra and the contractor paid thercfore at an increased rate, as is the usual practice and was a principle recognized by the Royal Commission {appointed in 1862 to \u2018report on the works connected with the Ottawa public buildings.The amount allowed to Mr.Goodwin was arrived at as follows :\u2014Additional rock excavation telow five feet to be allowed at $3 a yard, previously returned at $L37 a yard ; 1,547 yards at $1.63 a yard, equal to $2, 521.61; additional excavation in clay to be allowed at §1 a yard, previously returned at 37 cents a yard, 1,675 yards at 63 cents a yard, equal to $1,005.23; pumping, sheet piling, scaffolding and staging, $700, making a total of $4,276.86.To this add the balance due on the estimate of his contract in 1873,$1,082.60, making a total of $5,359.46, as against his claim of $9,500.This I reported to Council, the Council adopled the claim, it was paid, put in the estimate, it was discussed in Parliament and passed.That is the claim of Mr.Goodwin.It is a claim that, no matter who would have had it before him, would have done what had been done, and there I wish to show that there was nothing exceptional in this case.It was treated as all other cases that have come before my department.The second charge is tliat of Mr.Dunsmuir.Well, Mr.Dune- muir never had anything to do with my department.He never had a dollar from my department and he never had any dealings with my department.He had something to do with a railway in British Columbia, but it was the action of the Department of Railways, it was the action of the whole Government, it was tle action ot the Parliament of Canada, and it was the action of the British Celumbia Government and Legislature, and therefore 1 do not see how Mr.Dunsmuir has sub geribed to that testimonial.I do not know Low it could have aflected a contract with which I had nothing to do as a Minister of the Crown so long as the proposal was laid before Parliament and bas received the sanction of this House.The third case is that of Mr.Charlebois, the contractor for the buildings, on Wellington street.Well, I see to-day in the papers\u2014of course I do not know whether 1t is the case or not, because Ido not know the names of those parties who were kind enough to contribute to that testimonial, the list was never furnished to me and therefore I do not know the con tributors\u2014I see by the papers a statement by that gentleman in which he says he never contributed to the fund.Public tenders were called for this building, ard nine tenders were received.Mr, Charlebois was the lowest by far and the report was made by ne to the Council and the Council ascel an order-in-council, and Mr, Charle- bois has had the contract, and that is another of those cases, which must have affected this decision.I leave this also in the hands of the House to say whether there is any foundation for it.There is then another charge.The name of Mr.Davies.Mr.Davies has never Leen a contractor in my department since 1878, and therefore that is another of those charges without any foundation whatever.The other charge is that Mr.H.J.Moran.Chief Clerk in the Department of the ecretary of State, has contributed $200 \u2018to that fund and that, in consequence of that, I gave him a promotion while acting secretary of State, whilst the present Secretary of State was away last year, and that, therefore, Mr.Morgan\u2019s subscription influenced my decision.In the first place, I am not aware whether Mr.Morgan has subscribed or not; I know nothing about; and secondly, Mr.Morgan was not promoted or appointed while I was Acting Secretary of State, but was appointed on the recommendation of the present Secretary of State.Here is the recommendation,which is signed by the present Secrelary of State :\u2014*¢ The undersigned has the honor of recommending to the Privy Council that Mr.H.J.Morgan, now Keeper of Records in the Department of the Secretary of State, be appointed to the office of the chief clerk in the correspondence branch of the Department, in the room of Mr.Grant Powell appointed Under Secretary of State at his present rate of salary.\u201d Therefore that is another of these baseless harges which I am sorry to see endorse by the editorial staff of the Globe.I should not have been treated so by the organ of the great Reform party of Ontario.Though I have always been an opponent of theirs, I should have been treated fairly, They should have considered my reputation as a public man, the property of not only myself but the whole people, and therefore I ghould have been treated fairly and I should be very much surprised if the leader of the Opposition sanctions these attacks on his side of the House.I am surprised that, in view of the a proaches made by that paper quite lately to the people of the Province of Quebec, those who I am specially supposed to lead in my province, I have not received fair treatment from that paper and its friends.Ihave been selected, no doubt, because I am the leader of these men to be treated in that way, and to have my reputation destroyed if they could do it.Mr.Speaker, after having been twenty-seven years a member of Parliament, and appointed a Minister of the Crown twenty years ago, and, having filled office as Minister of the Crown for sixteen years, after having millions of dollars passing through my bands in my oilicial capacity, and never a word having been said against the disposition of that money, I must say that the treatmentl Lave received at the hands of these men is such as must be condemued by the country and by this House.Having said this, I must apoligize to this House, if I show some feeling in this matter.It is because I feel that after having consecrated the best years of my life to my country I should have had better treatment on the part of that paper and its friends.(Cheers.) The House then went into Committee of Supply and, after passing several items of the further supplementary estimates, the the committee rose and reported progress, and the House adjourned at 1.45 a.m.NOTICES OF MOTION.Sir Leonard Tilley\u2014On Saturday next, committee of the whole, to consider the following resolution :\u2014That it is expedient to authorize the Governor-in- Council to advance a further sum or sums not exceeding in the whole $150,000 to the Quebec habor commissioners toward the completion of the Levis graving dock, bearing interest at the rate of four per cent per annum, in addition to and on the like terms as to sinking funds, as the sum of $500,000 authorized to be advanced by 38 Vic., cap.56, and the further sum of $100,000 authorized to be advanced.by 46 Vic., cap.40.Sir L.Tilley\u2014On Saturday next, committee of the whole to consider the following resolution :\u2014 That in order to assist the Quebec harbor commissioners in.the im- expedient to authorize the Governor-in- Council to advance them a sum or sums not exceeding in the whole $300,000: to enable them to complete their tidal dock ; the advance hereby issued to be in addition to the sum of $1,200,000 authorized by 36.Vic., cap.62, and the further sum of $260, 000 authorized by 43 Vic., cap.17, the ad- vanc.d authorized by this resolution to bear interest at four per cent per annum, and to be made on the same terms and conditions as the previous advance above named.PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEES.Meeting of the Public Accounts Committee.OTTAWA, April 9.The Public Accounts Committee met this morning.Mr.White [Renfrew] in the chair.Several motions for vouchers and statements in connection with accounts were carried.During the sitting of the committee some attention was called to the item of $62,000 which appears on the public accounts as for laborers\u2019 wages and care of the grounds.The papers in connection with it were not produced, as the auditor- general had not had time to do it.Mr.White [Hastings] called special attention to the fact that the item included expenses connected with the repairs and general care of the public buildings, and that a small part of it, only some $6,000 or $7,000, had to do with the care of the grounds.Complaint was made by the members of the committee that an item of that kind should have been so entered in the publte accounts as to mislead the public in rela tion to the real destination of the money.Before the adjourument of the committee, Hon.Mr.Costigan referred to the account which had been before the committee at a previous meeting.in the name of Mr, Guilbault, and in reference to which it had been suggested by Mr.Somerville [Brant] that Mr.Gigault, M.P., had some interest.Mr.Costigan explained that Mr.Gigault had simply acted as a friend for parties in Montreal to collect the money, and had been so careful that he had the cheque put in the name of the parties, he having no interest directly or indirectiy in connection with the matter.Rigidends~~~Fleetings.Mount Royal Cemetery Co The Annual General Meeting of the Proprietors of this Company will be held at the office of the Company, 198 ST.JAMES STREET, Montreal, On Thursday,the 10th day of April next, at the hour of THREE o'clock in the afternoon precisely, to receive the Report of the Trustees for the past year, and for the transaction of such other business as may be then and there lawfully submitted.A.M.ESDAILE, Sec-Treasurer.Montreal, &th April, 1884.b 85 23m, MONTREAL BICYULE CLUB SIXTH ANNUAL MEETING, Will be held in the Club House, Mansfeld Street, On Thursday, 10th April, At 7.30 pm, for the reception of Secretary\u2019s Report and Treasurer's Statement, Election of Officers and other business.Full and punctual attendance requested, as the Delugates to C.W.SA.Board Meeting have to leave by 9 o\u2019clock train.J.D.MILLER, Hon.-Sce.u 86 Montreal Cily and District Savings Bank.NOTICE.\u2014The Annual General Meeting of the Stockholders of this Bank will be held at its Offige, St.James Street, on TUESDAY, 6th MAY NEXT,at ONE o°clock p.m., for the reception of the Annual Report and Statements and the Election of Directors, By order of the Board.A.BARBEAU, Manager.April 7 6A 84 April 9 FOR SALE, One DOUBLE DOOR SAFE, Combination Lock; outside measurement, 60x41x30 ; very roomy.new.One DOUBLE CONSULTING DESK; Black Walnut, and a solid article.Apply at ON.Wednesday,30th April.and catalogues.provement of the harbdbr of Quebec it is.| One DOUBLE OFFICE \"DESK, good as _ Auction Sales.£Y THOS.J.POTTER.~~ OIL PAINTINGS!

the mean of the formation of the ice gives the 20th of November, which would give an average of five months or thereabouts of navigation.It is ascertaived that the first of May is the usual date of the opening of the Montreal Harbor, and the 25th November that of its closing.The point would be to ascertain for certain this fact, not only for York Factory, but for Churchill Harbor and various other places ou the shores of Hudson Bay.The information collected applies only to a very small oum- ber of ports.In concluding their report your committee believes it tobe their duty to remark upon the absolutely impartial character of its labors.Undertaken without siding with any one the enquiry has been conducted in \u2018a Jmanner weil calcu lated to throw the greatest possible amount of light upon the conditions and character of the navigation of this portion of our maritime Dominion.The information obtained cannot be made] to form a complete knowledge of the question; bat your com- mitiee are satisticd, if they have been able, by their efforts to contribute to the critical examination and the solution of a problem which will assure to Canada an immense development of its marine, the monopoly of the traffic of the North-West and a fresh pledge of prosperity and grandeur.\u201d The evidence taken by the committee accompanied the report.\u2018\u201c WHERE I LOVE, 1 LOVE FOREVER.\u201d She was a blithesome maid who sang, Close by the cottage window sitting ; Sweet and clear were the notes that rang Out on the air where the birds were flitting; Merrily, merrily, sang the birds, But none could exactly guess thelr words, While the maid so clever, And blushing never, Sang, * Where I love, I love forever!\u201d He was a youth just passing by While the maid was singing, oh, sosweetly ! Who to the garden gate drew nigh And listened there, entranced completely; For the sound of a voice so sweet and clear Was rapturous music to his ear, And he said, ¢ Ah, never Would I wish to sever From one who loves and loves forever.\u2019 The maiden smiled on her lever\u2019s suit, When at her feet he made confession ; Her eyes were bright, but her voice was mute, When she gave her heart into his possession.But now together their lives are set.They sing in unison this duet: «+ We'll dissever Never\u2014never ! For where we love, we love forever I\u201d eset GLENALPINE'S OATH.A Story ef Trial and Adventure shore, at Sea, and in the Jungle, The Manor of Birchmear was one of the oldest and most extensive in England.The manor-house was a grand old mansion.The domain was ample.There were fair lawns and gardens, and extensive parks and preserves, bread meadows and fruitful slopes, and many a mile of dense old forest.It was towards noon of a pleasant day late in the summer that two men stood by the lodge gate of Birchmear Park.One of them was Peter Brun, the keeper, and the other was Jasom Smart, an old friend of Peter\u2019s.Both were men past the middle- age.As soon a8 they had exchanged greetings, Jason said : \u201c Now, Peter, I want you to tell me about the family.Let me see.It\u2019s almost a score of years since I left Birchmear.Sir John was then hale and hearty, and full fifty years old; and we thought he never would marry, but I hear he has done it.\u201d \u201c Yes,\u201d sald the keeper, slowly, \u201che bas done it twice\u2014which was just once too much.You remember that his lordship lived those many years a bachelor on account of a bitter disappointment in early life.He had made up his mind that he would never marry; but he found reason to change his purpose.Out in India there was a certain Tom Rainsford, to whom his lordship was particularly attached.This Tom Rainsford was a colonel, and he saved the division of Sir Jasper Wallace at Hajepoor by his own individual forethought and daring.But he himself fell \u2014-shiot, just as the victory was won.\u201c Sir John heard of the death of Colonel Tom Rainsford, and he also heard that a widow had been left ; and he sent out word to the widow that she might come and find a home at Birchmear if she wished.It seems that Colonel Tom had been a rollicking, free-hearted fellow, and had left nothing of property\u2014not even enough to pay his debts.So his widow accepted Sir John\u2019s offer, and came home to England and to Birchmear.She had one child \u2014a boy, three years old\u2014a boy named Arthur\u2014and one of the brightest and keenest little fellows I ever saw.The ger- vants all fell in love with him.\u201c1 saw Isabel Rainsford when she first came, and a sweeter creature I never laid my eyes upon.Sir John took to her at once; and she, in turn, was devoted to him.At the end of two years Sir John oftered her his heart and his hand, and she accepted both, and thus became Lady Birchmear of Birchmear.And he gave the boy his own name, and called him Arthur Berwick.*¢ Their married life was a happy one.Sir John loved his young and beautiful wife with all his heart, and she was sincerely attached and devoted to him.But their happiness was not to last long.In five years Lady Isabel died, and for a time Sir John was like one distracted.About this time the Government had occasion to send a commissioner upon important business to India, and Lord Birchmear was selected for the office.He accepted without hesitation, and at once made preparations for his departure.He left the manor in charge of his sister Agatha, and in her keeping also he left Arthur, now grown to be ten years old.¢ Sir John went out to India, and there fell in with Lady Helen Travers.This woman was the widow of a Sir Theobald Travers, who had gambled away a fortune, and died deeply in debt.She was past the middle age\u2014somewhere about fifty\u2014but of that peculiar vital temperament, and of that tenacity of vigor and healthful flow of blood, which preserve the stamp of youth far into the meridian of life.She was handsome, and she was bold; and, above all, she was clear-sighted and calculating.She had a son, named Harold, in the army, with a caplain\u2019s commission ; and for some years Captain Harold Travers had managed to make enough at the gam- ing-table to give his mother a seemingly comfortable support.\u2018It was said by those who professed to know that much of the captain\u2019s good luck at whist and ecarte was due to the covert aid of Lady Helen.I won\u2019t pretend to assert anything about Lady Helen\u2019s aptness at cheating at cards; but I can swear she played a strong game with Sir John, and if she didn\u2019t blind him, then she must have taken him upon a very weak side.In just five years from the death of the sweet Lady Isabel be made wife of this woman\u2014this Lady Helen Travers.But her whole game wasn\u2019t played when she had won his hand and his name.She wanted something for her son.| «This Captain Harold Travers was a man very much after his father\u2019s stamp.He was reckless and heartless, and had enough of polish to make his way in society.He went at work upon Sir John\u2019s good graces, and found bis way into them.And when his lordship prepared for his return to England he allowed the captain to sell his commission and bear him company.And he did more: he allowed Harold to drop the name of Travers and to take that of Berwick in its place, thus recognizing him as an adopted son.You must understand that Sir John was now past sixty, and more easily worked upon than formerly.He fancied that he was never so firm of will, and never so 1nde- pendent ; but there was cue at the helm that knew how to govern him.\u201c When his lord-hip, with his new family, reached home, Arthur had grown to be a youth of sixteen, and he was acknowledged by all who knew him to be the handsomest, and the bravest, and the strongest boy of his years in our riding.He had cut up some wild pranks, to be sure, but nothing that came of an evil disposition.The new Lady Birchmear pretended a strong love for him ; and Harold was openly very kind to him.Within a few months after Sir John\u2019s return Arthur was sent away to school at Oxford; and there he has been most of the time until three months ago, when he came home with the resolution to study no more.\u201c At first Sir John had only planned that Arthur should pursue a course of study that would fit him for public political life, and then we fancied that he meant to make the lad his heir\u2014for you will understand that his lordship had no children of his own\u2014but after a time, in three years from the lad\u2019s entrance at college, Sir John chauged the plan, and wanted him to prepare for the church.When the old servants heard of this\u2014and they heard of it when Arthur came home at vacation\u2014 they were sure that Lady Birchmear had been at work, and that the son of Isabel Rainsford was not sure of inheriting the manor.¢« However, Arthur resolved that he would not be a churchman, and when Sir John was satisfied that his opposition could not be overcome, he proposed the bar instead.But the youth would not have that either.He would enter the army.In fact, it was his earnest wish to join the army, and he once said to me, said he: ¢ Peter, when my school days are over I shall go into the army.I would rather go in as a private, and carry a musket and a knapsack, than be a hanger-on at this place and in this company.\u201d I knew very well what he meant.1 knew that he knew that Lady Birchmear hated him, and that Harold, with all his smiling surface, was bitterly opposed to him.\u201c But I won\u2019t spin it out long.r than I can help.Three months ago Arthur came home from college, and he came home in debt.He had been wild and extravagant.Sir John paid his debts and gave him a lecture.Arthur knew that some one had been undermining him, and he took the lecture badly.After that he asked his lordship to buy him a commission in a regiment which had just been ordered to India.Sir John didn\u2019t flatly refuse, nor did he give his assent; but he gave another lecture, which the lad took with very ill grace, and he took it thus because he knew that her ladyship was at the bottom of it.\u201cFrom all of which,\u201d said Jason, \u201cI infer that her son Harold aims at being the heir; and in order to accomplish this he must get rid of his rival ?\u201d \u201cYou are right, Jason.\u201d \u201c But,\u201d said Jason, eagerly, ¢ don\u2019t you mean to do something?Isn\u2019t there some way in which you can lend the young man a helping hand ?\u201d \u201c Be sure there is, Jason.He has friends on the watch.We'll open Sir John\u2019s eyes soon enough.\u201d \u201c And should say the sooner you opened them the better.\u201d \u201c We must have something positive, you know, to work upon.We old servants have to work carefully.\u201d ¢ Aye,\u2014there¢\u2019s the rub!\u201d cried Smart, starting up from his seat.\u201c\u2018 While you are working carefully, the bolder ones will come in with strong horses and win the race! But come,\u2014l\u2019d like to look through the old park.We can talk as we walk.\u201d The lodge-keeper arose, and led the way out into the broad avenue, and when his companion had surveyed the familiar scenes about the gate, they turned towards the mansion, taking one of the foot-paths.They had gone but a short distance when Peter pulled his companion by the sleeve, and drew him behind the shrubbery.\u201c Hold back, Jason! Now you\u2019ll see a sight, Don\u2019t move, but look sharp.\u201d As the keeper thus spoke a man and woman came in sight.The man was of medium height, broad and heavy of frame, and inclined to obesity.His head was small and the face was Towering and sinister.His age might have been anywhere from five-and-thirty to forty.The woman was older, and though she bore some features in common with her companion, especially about the eyes and mouth, yet she was what the world might call handsome\u2014that is, handscme for one who had passed the meridian of life.¢ What do you think of that woman ?\u201d asked the keeper, after the twain had passed on.\u201cJ don\u2019t know about the woman.I aint a judge of the sex.But I should say the man was a villain, Who is he ?\u201d \u201c\u201c He calls himself the Honorable Harold Berwick.\u201d \u2018 And the woman is his mother ?\u201d \u201cYee; she is the present Lady Birch- mear.\u201d \u2014 t is intended to place the address in Messrs.Dawsons\u2019 window, no doubt be admired.MONTREAL, 7th April, 1884, To Thomas J.L.Moffatt, Esq., Argyl « shoe Club.> 794, Argyle Snow DEAR SIR\u2014In view of your contemp] visit to the Mother Country, the pa ee the Argyle Snowshoe Club \u201cavail themselves of this opportunity of giving expression to their great pleasure in having enrolled in.thelr membership one who has so ably acquitted and distinguished himself in the Bs] s.der theip \u20ac first bug; ates the nto, Mesgpy ullion \u2019 enthusiagge to the club MERALD, 8n0wshoe arrangements where it wil} district is quiet.Gordon estimates tie the rebels about Khartoum number 2,000.Mandalay Devastated by Fire.LONDON, April 9.\u2014Half of the city of Mandalay has been burned.[Mandalay is the capital of Burmal, and is situated about a mile from the Irrawaddy.It has a population of about 100,000.Its fortifications are massive and its palaces, pagodas and cloisters brilliant with colors and old, but the city is described as resembling the encampment of a tribe of momads and many of the dwellings as being little more permanent than tents.)
