exports of specie to cause the large reduction of $4,977,300 in the deposits.Money bas, however, been coming in from the west, and there was an increase of over $1,000,000 in the legal New York Stock Market, The stock market was apparently eup- ported for about half an hour this forenoon, from about 10.15 to 10.50, but with that exception was weak, and the decline assisted by the hammering of the bears and room traders Reading and Jersey Central were not so weak as yesterday, but the rest of the general list was weaker, and North-Western and St.Paul were the special points of attack in the forenoon, a variety of rumors about the issue of new stock by the former, etc, being circulated for the purpose of alarming legitimate holders, and in which purpose they were to some extent successful in forcing some long stock upon the market.The failure of the Joint Executive Committee of the Trunk Line Pool to agree upon a passenger pool contract, and the increasing dissatisfaction of all the'parties to theTrunk Line agreements, both a8 regards freights and fares, 18 a distressing element in the market, and the only encouraging feature in the entire range of pooling agreements throughout the country is the increasing prospect that the Union Pacific-Burling- ton and Quincy trouble will be settled within a week.The bank statement was not as unfavorable as was anticipated, and after this began to be under stood the market was steadier, though the prospect of higher rates for money within a mouth stil hang over the market as an unfavorable influence.Compared wiih

Mr.Ramsay, on behalf of the McGill University, expressed the usual regrets at parting with Mr.Maclaren, and gave a short sketch of the latter\u2019s collegiate career.; Mr.George Hague, a8 representing the Young Men\u2019s Christ ja Association, followed in a similar stimi, alluding to the work their guest had done for the religious and benevolent bodies, and declaring that he was going to Toronto not as a mere experiment, but as one following an imperative call of duty.Mr.J.R.Dougall, speaking for the Dominion Alliance, made an humorous speech, in which he reflected somewhat severely on the lawyers and their profession.He stated that he had watched Mr.Maclaren\u2019s progress for years, werking for the benevolent institutions as if they were worth millions, The Dominion Alliance would greatly deplore his loss as he had been everything to them, and it was only the fact that he was not going altogether beyond their reach that enabled them to endure his loss at all.Mr.Maclaren, on rising to respond to the toast of his health, received an ovation that lasted for several minutes.When silence had been restord he said he felt certain they would give him credit for sincerity when he declared that he had a even a lawyer, to sit and listen to such , words as had fallen from the lips of the \"speakers that evening without feeling that i he hardly deserved them.Such expressions of good will were seldom heard by a man unless he Lad the privilege of reading The expressions of i esteem that had been teniered him that evening and the past few days had touched him and made him feel more than he thought he would feel under the circum stances.It caused him to feel the wrench- ings of heart to say good bye to friends and interests with whieh he had been mixed up so long.He never could forget the nineteen years spent in this city.One did \u201cnot spend so long a time in one place but what found that ties had taken hold of him in such a manner as to make it difficult to shake off.Tt was difficult for a lawyer to speak when there was nothing io contend against, tut in this case he had rather been put on trial as regarded his reasons for leaving Montreal.He would say that his departure cast no reflection on Moatreal.He would always come back feeling prouder of the place each time he saw it.He had travelled a good deal antl seen large cities on both continents, but had.always come back to Montreal feeling prouder than ever of it.Indeed the business portion of the city compared fuvopbly with æny city he bad ever been it.The solidity and beauty of its buildings invariably struck the stranger with surprise and admiration.He considered the system of jurisprudence taught here to be the finest in the world.He would never forget his associates of the bar, not only the English, but the French speaking members with whom he had always been on terms of the greatest cordiality and whom he was glad to see present.After recalling certain reminiscenes of his youthful days that led to Lis selecting Montreal as a place of residence, the speaker went on to say that he thought the profession was at a disadvantage in the Province of Quebec owing to the growing decentralization of justice.He thought that process was being carried too far for the good, not only of the Bench, but the litigants and the public.One re- suit had been the narrowing of the field for the English speaking lawyers of Moat- In Ontario there had not been carried on that decentralization of justice\u2014the judges did not go out.They remained in Osgoode Hall where they could meet and consult authorities and \u2018orm an uniformity ot jurisprudence.As a proof that what he said was true the speaker stated that although Toronto was a great deal smaller than Montreal, yet there were some forty more lawyers there.Besides that there were some personal reasons that drew him westward.A large number of college friends with whom he had always kept up relations resided there, and when hg went he would renew those friendships.In some respects Toronto was ahead of Montreal.Their judicature aot is our own code of procedure modernized and reduced to common sense.There were two things that he thought were better managed in Toronto.First, allowing the parties to testify in their own behalf at trial, and secondly, the examination of the parties prior to the suit.This last had the effect of clearing away a mass of unimportant evidence, leaving the main points to come before the judge.He believed that these methods shortened the trials by two-thirds and savedjtwo-thirds expenses.The remainder of the speakers remarks were devoted to thanking those present for the demonstration tendered him and assuring them that he never should forget their kindness.The toast of the Ladies\u201d was next glveu and replied to by Mr R OC, Smith.Mr.Maclaren then proposed the heaith of the chairman, who made a fitting response and the proceedings\u2019 were bor gt th & silose shortly before edevén o'clock.\u201d LIST OF SUBSCRIBERS, The following is a complete list of the subscribers to the banquet: \u2014 Charles Alexander, Dr.Alexander, John

London Tumes, April 10, the following appears :\u2014 The Canadian railway market opened with little alteraticn, but soon after gave way, and prices remained weak until a rumor was circulated that the Grand Trunk Company had come to some agree ment with the Canadian Pacific Company.The tone immediately became very firm, and the closing quotations were about the highest of the day, and showed a general advance.Grand Trunk, Ist preference, rose 2%, the 2ud preference 13, the 3rd reference 1, the ordinary §, and Great Western of Canada shares 1-16.After hours quotations continued to advance.And in another London journal of the same date we read :\u2014 | Grand Trunk stocks further suffered from continued bad traffies, and by an augmented supply of stock, but on Tuesday there was à sharp rebound upon the publication of Reuter\u2019s telegram in regard to the transfer of tie North Shore road to the Canadian Pacific, such à change of policy being viewed as evidencing more workable relations between the companies.At this rate, \u201c Reuter's telegrams\u201d are likely to become important factors in promoting stock speculation in England.Nothing had occurred on this side of th « water up to April 9th to justify any positive announcement in regard to the transfer of the North Shore road to the Oanadian Pacific Company, whatever may have occurred since.The statements in the London journals are important for two reasons, and will be regarded with interest by those who have been careful readers of THE HzRrALD.ist.They show that in England, by investors in Grand Trunk securities.the eontrol and possession of the North Shore road are regarded as injurious to Grand Trunk interests.That is to say, the action of the Grand Trunk in taking that road in order to keep it out of the hands of the Canadian Pacific, is there regarded as a blunder.This point has been repeatedly pressed upon the public by THE HERALD, and it is some comfort to learn that the same view of the subject is taken by capitalists and Grand Trunk investors in England.ond.The difficulties which Mr.Hickson has been creating between the Grand Trunk Company and the Canadian Pacific, and on which Tax HERALD has been obliged to comment freely and unsparingly, are condemned by Grand Trunk investors in England.When it was reported that these difficulties were likely to be overcome, Grand Trunk securities rose ; that is to say, they rose when it was rumored that the Hickson policy was likely to be reversed, that the policy of antagonism was likely to be abandoned Tae Heralp has frequently pointed out that many capitalists in England who are owners of Grand Trunk securities are also large holders of Canadian Pacific stock or Land Grant bonds, and that sooner or later their influence on the Grand Trunk policy would make itself felt.Neither Mr.Hickson's follies nor Mr.Senecal\u2019s intrigues for marketing his North Shore \u201cbonds\u201d can long stand in the way of an understanding being reached for a reversal of Mr.Hickson\u2019s policy, a policy which in the end would ruin Grand Trunk securities.It is, of course, impossible for the Grand Trunk and Canadian Pacific ever to amalgamate ; the law of Canada expressly forbids it.They must also be rivals for western traffic and ultimately for the traffic of the Maritime Provir.ces.But there is no reason why this rivalry should not be conducted on railway and commercial principles.There is no good reason for the Grand Trunk standing by such fulminations as the Hickson correspondence with which the late session of Parliament opened.The capitalists in England, by their operations in the stock market, are showing the estimation in which they hold the policy which Mr, Hickson there blocked out, and theit opinions must in the end g >vern the company\u2019s policy.: THE BRITISH BUDGET.The statement made by Mr.Childers, the British Chancellor of the Exchequer, the other day shows that the finances of | the United Kingdom are in a very healthy condition, and that good progress is being made in the reduction of that great public burthen, the National debt.It will be remembered that by a law passed last year provision was made for ra- taining the fixed charge resulting from the National debt at the same amount, and for creating a series of terminab annuities by which it was expected that in twenty years the debt would be reduced by the sum of £170,000,000.The actual debt reduction last year was eight and one half millions sterling, a fact whi shows that the law referred to has fu equalled expectations.The public debt is now less than it has been at any Time since 1811, the funded debt being great Napoleonic wars.charge from the debt was £32,000,000, Bow the annual charge is £29,000,000, but this annual charge is sufficient to reduce the debt at the rate of from eight to ten million pounds a year.This debt reducing power of the revenue is no doubt capable of being greatly increased, and it is quite possible that there may be persons now living who will survive to see the last of the British national debt wholly extinguished.The British revenue for last year was £57,205,184 and the expenditure £86,- 990,000, The revenue for the current year is estimated at £85,550,000 and the expenditure is put down at £85,292,000.The British Chancellor of the Exchequer evidently does not believe in large surpluses and is always ready to reduce his income to the smallest figure above the probable expenditure.This is a policy which might very well be imitated in Canada, although, in that connection, it is only fair to remember that our revenue is far more irregular in its results than that of the United Kingdom.OUR COURT HOUSE AGAIN.We have already, on more than one occasion, pointed out that our Court House is disgracefully defective as regards its ventilation, that a very large amount has been for more than thirty years and is still annually collected as court house tax, and that this revenue, instead of being devoted to the purpose for which it was instituted, has been appropriated to other purposes by the government of the Province of \u2018Quebec who are guilty of a gross violation of law.We have also stated that the Court House management has, from the very first, been a system of miserable bungling and wanton waste of money, wrenched from unfortunate suitors, and was a disgrace to those who encouraged or tolerated it- We would now refer to the portion appropriated to the Court of Appeals and itsattendant offices.These are situated in the second storey of the building aud extend from the main staircase to the eastera end and front on Notre Dame street.They consist of five rooms ; the small public office adjoining the staircase, the clerks\u2019 office, the room in which the judges\u2019 deliberations are held, the ante-room and the courtroom.In the public office are kept the registers and books of record, the record of cases pending in appeal sent up from other courts, the records of the Court of Appeals itself, the records which have been adjudicated upon and which are in course of preparation for reniission to the courts below, and lastly the records which have been adjudicated upon and which have not been remitted owing to the non-payment of the fees accrued thereon.All these records represent \u2018a large amount of valuable property, promissory notes, debentures, original deeds, etc., and yet the office in which they are kept, and in fact all the departments of this branch of the Court House, are not so much as fireproof, nor are safes or vaults provided for them, so that were there a fire to occur, which is not impossible, serious loss to the suitors must ensue, It is true that some of the documents might be replaced, but that would involve delay which might be ruinousto the parties interested.The judges\u2019 chamber,or rather the deliberating room in which are the records en delsbere,is subjeet to the same defect.It is true that vaults are provided in the basement, but these are difficult of access, and it would be impossible to remove the registers and records, which are in constant requisition,from the offices to the basement every day.Such a state of affairs should not be} allowed to exist and should be remedied without delay.The interests of suitors should not be trifled with or wholly neglected in this way.The matter has been repeatedly brought under the notice of the government, and yet year after-year this disgraceful state of affairs has been allowed to exist without any effort whatever having been made to reme iyi t.To bleed litigants year after year with the heavy imposition called the court house tax, and not appropriate the money to the purpose for which it is raised is bad enough, but to allow the records representing such valuable interests to remain insecure against accidents by fire is doubly criminal.Another crying defect is the want of accommodation for the judges, of whom there are six, five residing in the city of Montreal and one at Quebec.For these there is but one room, in which all chamber practice is disposed of.Before a deliberation of the judges ean take place each must examine for himself the voluminous records sent up from the court below as well as the original proceedings connected with: those in appeal, and this cannot be done in a room where other business is being carried on.To such an extent is this defect felt that the judges are for the most part compelled to take the records home to their own dwellings and there discharge the duties which should be performed in the judges\u2019 chambers.We shall, perhaps, be told that on the first flat there are two rooms for judges\u2019 chambers adjoining the criminal court room, but these are not the chambers of Court of Appeal judges, but belong te the Criminal Court, and when this room is occupied, as it not unfre- quently is for other purposes than the Court of Queen\u2019s Bench, Crown side, therooms in question are required for the judges holding the court which may be in session there.We point out these glaring defects and we ask what has become of the money raised from the Court House tax?Why long suffering public be trampled upon, neglected and treated with contempt by those who, to say the least of it, owe it to their position, their claim to administer honestly and faithfully the laws of the country, their sense of responsibility for the trust coufided tu them, to pause in their career and ask themselves the simple question : \u201cIs our conduct in this matter that of honest men, or would we not bitterly condemn it in others CAPTAIN GRAHAME, the Dominion Immigration Agent at Winnipeg, having returned from a trip to Britain, has been interviewed by the Winnipeg Sun.What Captain Grahame has to say of immigration prospects will interest the public :\u2014 He first visited Ireland, where he spent ten days.He states that there is a strong feeling there among certain classes to emigrate, but certain political and other influences are brought to bear on many others which compel them to remain where they are, Many iandlords do not want to loge their tenants, and hold them under obliga- tious to remain at home.In Scotland he encountered a great number of people who eagerly sought information regarding this country.Among them were many crofters who possess coosider- able means, and who will doubtless emigrate to this country.In England the excitement about emigration continues, and Mr.Grahame is confident a very considerable number will come to this country.The country, he says, is greatly injured by reports from papers published here and in Bastern Canada.Speaking of the competition for immi- grauts,\u201d remarked the Captain, * I can assure you it is very keen.The steamship companies have agents engaged all over, and, what makes it worse for Canada, the Canadian companies only pay their agents a bonus of $4 per emigrant that they secure, while the American companies, or those companies which send their vessels to the United States, pay $7 for each emigrant that they land, and the system adopted by the different companies is not the same.The Canadian companies only pay the $4 when the emigrant is reported to have arrived in Canada, while the American companies pay the $7 when the ticket is purchased by the emigrant.Then Canada suffers from another point.A regular line of steamers runs from German ports to the United States, while emigrants desiring to come to Canada must just fish for themselves.I urged strongly on the Dominion authorities the desirability of subsidizing a regular line of steamers to run between Germany and Canada.It is only by this means that we can hope to obtain any considerable number of German immigrants.\u201d ln view of the various drawbacks, Mr.Grahame does not expect that the emigration from the Continent will be very great.On the whole, however, he believes the volume of immigration to the North-West this season will be up to the average.He is convinced, too, that the class of immigrants will be superior to those of previous years.A great many possessing means have already left for the North-West, and many more are preparing to come.Mr.Grahame i8 convinced that his visit to England will result in at least half a million pounds sterling being brought to this country.Hoe states that millions and millioas of capital are lying idle, the owners just anxiously awaiting some chance of investment.They are prepared to put their money into any scheme which will ensure even a small return.\u2014\u2014\u2014p TEE FATE OF REGINA has been decided by one man.There was hope for the town\u2019s future until it became the unfortunate seat of a newspaper.And although, as a rule, newspapers are a help to a place, Regina proved to be an exception.Perhaps the newspaper\u2014the Leader\u2014would not have killed the town bad it not been for the circumstance that it was controlled and written by Mr.Nicholas Flood Davin.When this worthy and estimable gentleman undertook to say anything for Regina all the world commensed to laugh.We don\u2019t know why they should, but they did.People laughed when Mr.Davin wrote in a serious strain, they laughed when he grew angry, and they laughed yet more wildly when he attempted anything intended to be of a humorous character\u2014 not at his humor, but at its absence.His well meant suggestions in regard to \u201cbooming\u201d Regina were an unfailing source of merriment to the practical speculator, and whether Davin attempted to describe a blizzard, the driving of a well, or some social entertainment graced by his own presence, and mayhap the presence of some social rival or enemy as well, the bathos was inimitable and the reader\u2019s merriment was uninterrupted.But while these amusing literary achievements helped to attract attention to Regina, the attention was not of a profitable kind.Regina was constantly associated with something ridiculous, something calculated to inspire laughter ; and although, in justice to Mr.Davin, it should be explained that he did not confine his guardianship to Regina but extended his wings over the entire North- West.still unfortunate Regina was the especial victim of misplaced confidence, With the best intentions in the world, Mr.Davin has only succeeded in making Regina and its newspaper the laughing stock of Canada.\u2014 WE CAN NOT AGRHE with a correspondent who attributes Father Labelle\u2019s lottery scheme to the Jesuits.The Jesuits are usually credited with working dexterously and prudently, but this lottery enterprise bears no evidence of having been launched by persons who hoped by skilful manceuvring to make it a permanent institution of the province.It contains the seeds of dissolution.Even if it become law, it can not remain so for any length of time.Of course, it will not be interfered with by the law officers on the ground of illegality, but the demoralizing effects will develope so early and disastrously as to arouse public indig nation and the uncompromising opposition of the Church.When that time will have arrived we may conclude that the days of the lottery will be numbered.Already a large and influential section of the Church is opposed to the scheme, and when it gets into full operation gnd reveals itself as the enemy both of the State and the Church, its career will soon terminate.ing by special train, with the remains of

Not one blot remainingon| UCTION SALE of Office Furniture, THIS MORNING.THIS MORNING.THIS MORNING.1838, found us still safe on board of our little steamer at the Cascades.The morning was bright and clear.It was the first time in the lives of most of us to realize that no breakfast was awaiting us.We resigned ourselves, philosophically, to our fate just because we could uot help it.We knew nothing of what had taken place at Beauharnois during the night, nor did we know where our Glengarry friends on the opposite side of the river were.However, we resolved to get up steam and feel our way down the river.Slowly we steamed down.In due course Beauharnois was reached.We noticed clouds of smoke rising here, there and everywhere around, giving evidence that some work was going on.As we approached the shore it was quite perceptible that the town had changed masters since the previous afternoon.The uniform of the Glengarries and the red coats of the 71st regulars along the shore satisfied us of \u2018our safety in steaming direct to the | wharf alongside the sunken steamer Chieftain.The sight of our little steamer making direct for the town attracted the attention af the whole force on the shore.They were as curious to know who or what we were or whence we came as were our friends, the patriots of yesterday.As we neared the wharf, the staff officers of the Glengarries with Colonel Grey and officers of the 71st were congregated on the deck of the sunken Chieftain to meet us, to get what news we had.Our story was soon told.We knew nothing of the advance on Chateauguay by Captain Campbell, having left Lachine on Saturday before the force crossed to Caughnawaga.They were anxious to know the fate of Chateauguay \u2014just eight miles from them.We found ourselves among ald friends in the staff of the Glengarries, not only friends but kindred of the nearest ties.Those grand old men, the Colonels of the Glengarries, Alexander Fraser, the two Macdonnells, and Alexander Chisholm, in short, half of their officers were old veterans, having served their King and their country on many a hard fought field on our country\u2019s frontier \u2014 on Lundy\u2019s Lane, Queenston Heights, Chippewa, Chrysler's Farm-\u2014during the war of 1512 to 1815.Colonel Alexander Fraser, of the 1st Regiment of the Glengarries, was well known in Montreal, he was every inch a soldier, just such another and of the same height and build as our own Old Landmark, Colonel John Dyde.We stole away from our steamer for half an honr to see the sights in the town.Fires were still burning; the greater part of the place was in ashes.The streets were crowded with armed men.They had been on the march since the previous Monday and were spattered over with mud, bearing evidence of the roads they had passed over.These Glengaries were grand men! Fully one half of them stood over six feet, and built in proportion.They were nearly ag efficient in drill as the regulars, having been in barracks on the frontier at Napier- ville and Phillipsville most of the previous winter.There was none but Highland bonnets there\u2014the Glengarries and the 7lst regiment ! and had there been any real work to do they would have proved themselves worthy sons of old Scotland\u2014of that storied land where a Fingal fought and an Ossian sung.The language that morning in Beauharnois was altogether Gaelic, jour mother tongue, though we did not under stand it.As for music there was none save the soul-stirring notes of the pibroch, \u2018¢ which Scotland\u2019s hills have often heard, and heard, too, have her Saxon foes,\u201d and right royally did tie pipers do their duty ! Take it all in all, Beauharnois presented a strange, wild scene on that Sunday morning.The fires were not the work of the Glengarries ; they were started by the loyal inhabitants of the place in revenge\u2019 for what they had suffered.It must, however, be admitted, and which was not denied by , the Glengarries, that several hundreds of hem returned to Glengarry as \u201c cavalrymen,\u201d mounted on stray French ponies which they said they found loose by the way side.We had not much time to ramble before the order was given to collect us on board, to leave with despatches for Montreal.This was a great disappointment ; we should have preferred remaining.But hark! a mild cheer is heard from the Chateauguay side ; it is taken up and continued by the armed men \u2018through the town.All eyes were turned in that direc tion\u2014what is it?The tramp of advancing horse is heard ; yes\u2014there they come, as the well known bearskin helmets of the Lachine troop appear in sight, at a full canter and drew up right in front of the wharf where our steamer lay.There were only four of them, with a guide, who had led them through the woods from Cha- teauguay with news from Captain Campbell\u2019s force.We recognized our troopers from La- _ chine and they ue, but we could not leave our position to speak to them.Their horses and themselves were covered with mud ; they had been in their saddles for twelve hours\u2014over hard country roads.But how they came here was a mystery to us, as we had left them at Lachine the previous morning.Our position was equally puzzling to them.Had we fallen into the rebels hands yesterday and now being released ?We gathered that Captain Campbell, after reaching Chateauguay that morning, wished to communicate with the Glengar- ries, and called for four troopers to ride through the woods to Beauharnois, four of them, all young men about nineteen years of age, stepped to the front.It was a ride, the woods were swarming with the scattered patriots from the two camps of Chateauguay and Beauharnois.We could select one from that little band of four troopers as he proudly sat on his noble charger in front of the assembled staff of the Glegarry Highlanders.H his commercial integrity and honesty.But his living relatives\u2014the noble men of Glengarry, one of whose proud names he bore, will ever point the withering finger of true, biting, Scottish scorn\u2014Nathan-like\u2014 \u201cThou art the man !\u201d to that body of five professing Christians in Montreal for the wreck of that young trocper\u2019s estate and the ruin of his family! Silence hasa tongue ! \u201cVengeance is mine.I will repay, saith the Lord !\u201d Having handed over the arms and clothing to the Glengarries, we bade them farewell and then started on our homeward trip.The Chateauguay shore, as we steamed down, was all on a blaze, or rather clouds of smoke rising from the burning homesteads, as described in HEnaLn of 15th.These burnings were actually going on when we were on our return from Beauharnois.We were ignorant of the advance on Chateauguay until our return to Lachine that Sunday afternoon.As we neared Lachine the whole shore was alive with people; large numbers had come out from Montreal.They were all excitement to learn the news we brought ; it soon spread round that Beauharnois was in the possession of the Glengarries.We were not allowed any time to rest, being immediately ordered to proceed to Pointe Claire to guard the lake shore above Lachine.Carts were provided to convey us.Some of us were so used up that we actually fell asleep in the carts on the road, We were kept for a week picketed by twos and threes in the farmhouses along the lakes shore.It was fully three weeks before the scattered fragments of the brigade had returned to headquarters, full of stories and little incidents connected with their various positions since the morning of Sunday, the Ath.Here endeth the 5th chapter of our little notings of the Canadian rebellions of 1837 and 1838,\u2018\u2018 And what is writ is writ, would that it were worthier.\u201d UNCLE Joux.\u2014\u2014The medical profession are slow (and rightly 80), to endorse every new medicine that is advertised ard sold ; but houest merit convinces the fair-minded after a reasonable time.Physicians in good standing often prescribe Mrs, Pinkham\u2019s Vegetable Compound for the cure of female weakness.Miscellaneous.79c¢C.Our Unlaundried SEVENTY-F1VE oents SHIRTS are the best value in the trade.They are made from heavy AMERICAN COTTON with LINEN FRONTS and WRITS\u2014be convinocid and send for a sample Shirt J.J.Hannan, 303 NOTRE DAME STREET 303 April THE MONTREAL GAS CO'Y, Parties moving on the 1st May are required to give THREE DAYS written notice at this company\u2019s office, in order that the Gas may be turned off otherwise they will be held liable for all gas passing through the meter until such notice be received.No plumber is authorised to turn on the Gas without a written order from the company, any one so doing is liable to a penalty by violating the clause of the charter to that effect.By order.J.F.SCRIVER, .Secretary.Montreal, 28th April, 1834.m 102 PLANTAGENET (ERATED.THE QUEEN OF CANADIAN WATERS This Natural Water is now much preferred for its refreshing and medicinal properties, to the imported manufactured waters.McGIBBON, McCALMAN & CO., Agents.Also, Proprietors of the ROYAL WINDSOR ERATED WATERS.For sale by all first-class Grocers, Hotels and Restaurants.69 ST.ANTOINE STREET.April 18 94 THE CANADA Co-operative Supply Association | (LIMITED).| Annual Meeting.NOTICE.THE THIRD ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Shareholders, for the Election of Directors for the ensuing year and other purposes, will be held at the Offices of the Association on Wednesday, the 14th May Next, at 1!

but the Supreme Court, on farther appeal, upheld the decision of the oniginad Court, and reversed the judgment of the Court of Appeal.Thence the matter came before the Judicial Committee.Their Lordships, whose judgments was delivered yesterday [an error\u2014judgment was delivered on the 7th April] atcon- siderable length, said it waa quite true that it was not to be presumed that the Legislature interfered with any man\u2019s private property without compensation, but if the whole stream was floatable during the freshets it could not be doubted that the Legislature did inean, with the object of affording facility to lumberers to carry their timber to market, to say that they should have the right to flout down the stream at those seasons without obstruction to the owners of the bed of the river without paying them anything.It did not seem to their Lordships that the private right which the owner of the spot claimed to monopolize all passage there was one which the Legislature was likely to regard with favor, and in the earlier legislation they had, without scruple, cast on the owners of dams \u201clegally erected\u201d the obligation, at their own expense, to make such dams passable for lumber.If the law was (contrary to what is laid down in \u201cBoale vs.Dickson\u201d) that reasonable compensation.should be payable for the use and occupation of works maintained for the purpose of rendering the portion of the stream practically useful for floating pur- oses there would be no hardship at all.ft the Legislature had inserted a provision that, sugh should be the law there could have begn no doubt of their: intention.They had not inserted such a provision ; but, although that made the case somewhat difficult, their Lordships did not think it enough to justify what seemed to them a sqmewhat violent departure from the plain\u2018meaning of the words.Their Lordships would therefore humbly advise Her Majesty that the judgment of the Su- \u2018 pretne Court should be reversed and that of the Court of Appeal restored, and that the costs ghould be borne by the respondent.* % DR.SELWYN AGAIN.6 - À Montrealer, Mr.J.Fraser Torrance mining engineer, replies through the Toronto Mail to questions asked by and through Tae HEesALD on the 9th and 10th, .and explains Dr.Selwyn\u2019s connection with the report on the Londonderry roines which appeared in the Geological Report for 1872-3 : [To the Editor of the Mail.] Sir,\u2014The report of the committee on the Geological Survey presented to the House ef Commons on the 10th inst, fails to answer the above question, which is naturally raised by Prof.Chapman\u2019s letter in your issue of the 7th inst.'Thewolume of evidence submitted to the committee will shed a flood of light upon it.But its publication is still uncertain, and its bulk may prevent its careful perusal by busy people: .Lo ost people will agree that, if this question is answered in the affirmative, Dr.Selwyn must resign or await dismissal from his high office.The Director of the Survey was evidently of this opinion himself on the 7th and 13th ult., when he was 80 impressed with the danger of officers of the survey yielding to pecuniary temptation that he urged upon the committee the wisdom of reinforcing existing departmental regulations by special legislation to prevent the acceptance of any fees or -rewards.He spoke so strongly upon this paint that Mr.Holton asked him if he knew of-any instance wherein any official of the survey had received any such fee or reward.Dr.Selwyn replied, \u2018\u201c No; but I have suspicions of some of my staff.\u201d And, again, in reference to some changes in the personel of his department, he said that he ¢\u201c did not want speculators upon his staff.\u201d On hearing of this scandalous anonymous charges preferred by the director against hig entire staff.I wrote to Mr.Hall and reguéed the committee tp enquire into Dr.Selwyn\u2019s dealings with the Aca- dian Charcoal Iron Company in 1872, On the 1st 10st.he was examined upon this point; and he found himself in a very nasty corner.If he denied the charge,some of the directors of the company might be summoned from Montreal to appear against him.Whereas, if he confessed the truth, his unctuous virtue of the 7th and 13th March would rise up against him.He chose the latter and wiser course.He unblushingly confessed that he had accepted from Mr, Livesey, in 1874, a cheque for $200 on account of his report upon the Londonderry iron mines, which he published as an official report of the director of the Geological Survey in the report of progress for 1272-73, page 19-31.This startling confession was received with grave silence by the committee, until Mr.awsen, of Algoma, remarked with sarcastic sympathy, ¢ So two hundred dollars was all you got for that report, Dr.Sel- wyn?\u201d 4 Perhaps it was $250.Ido not remember the exact amount\u201d was his unexpected answer.When we reflect that this report was written about twelve years ago, we may well be curious as to the cash value of this English gentleman\u2019s subsequent re ports.At the time of Dr.Selwyn\u2019s appointment 1 believe that the Canada Civil Service Act of 1868 was in force.Amongst other things it provided that the deputy heads ot departments and all officers or chief clerks, &c., shall take the oath of allegiance and also the following .oath :\u2014
