of Criminal Action.Gen.Lord Russel Surprised.Railways Fighting for Right of Entrance to Toronto.REPORT OF THE LIQUIDATOR.Assets and Liabilities of the Central Bank\u2014Loans to Directors\u2014Criminal Proeeedings Threatened.Toroxto, Dec.13.\u2014A meeting of the shareholders of the Central Bank was held this morning, and at times it was of arather stormy character.Mr.Campbell, Provincial liquidator, submitted his report.He had no doubt that the funds of the bank will keep pace with any demands for the redemption of circulation, and the outstanding circulation is now less than $300,000.He was unable, owing to the limited time at his disposal and calls made upon him by creditors of the bank, to present a statement showing his estimate of the value of the assets as he would desire.The bank\u2019s asgets amount to $2,591,300, consisting chieily of notes and bills made by almost all sorts of people in every kind of business, and some not in any kind of business, ranging from $10 to $10,000 or more, spread over the entire Dominion and extending into the United States.Some of such paper is secured by collaterals of other notes made by different parties; some arg secured hy collaterals of warchouse receipts of goods of almost every description and quality stored ai various places in the province ; some by mortgages on real estate and stock.There is also some real estate held which the bank has Lad to take for debts otherwise unrealizable.There is also a very large mass of paper depending for security on the names each bill bears.The financial standing and prospect of ability to pay has to be weighed and determined.During the short period of time he had been able to give to the subject, he fhund that hopeless losses to a consideraile amount had been sustained by the bank.There are other ac- \u201ccounts not by any means abandoned, the value of which it is impossible for any person to say at present, but which will result in losses more or less.Creditors, in his opinion, should have no reason to feel dissatisfied, except with the delay whieh must necessarily take place in liquidating the estate.From reports from branches he believed, with one ex- ceptiou, Brampton, there will be but trifling langage fram tham The general statement submitted is as follows :\u2014 Notes in

amount would be required.During the discussion it came out that the directors owed the bank the following sums : Blain, 816,000, and Blain and McDonald conjointly, $21,000 ; McDonald, $112,000, McLean Howard, $13,000 ; Trees, £6,000; Blackett Robinson, 223,000 ; Chisholm, £24,000, and that securities for such were in xome instances doubtful.Henry O'Brien, barrister, had 85,000 without any security, and Cox, broker, had $160,000, with little or no security.Trees, Vice- President, blamed the cashier for recklessly loaning money without proper security.Provisional liquidation, said he, would consider it his-duty if anything warranted it, to take criminal prooceed- ings against any director implicated.It was decided to recommend Messrs.Archibald, CAUGHT LORD RUSSELL NAPPING.How He Heard the News of the Attempt on George's Island.Haurax, N.S., Dec.13.\u2014A rich joke is reported to have been perpetrated on His ' Excellency General Lord Alexander Russel, Commander-in-Chief of the British forces in North America.Itappears that the first intimation His Excellency had of the tampering with the gun- cotton tank on (Georges Island was a cablegram from the English War Office for details.The news had been cabled to England early Friday morning, and in order to supply the demand of London evening papers foran \u201c official\u201d statement the Duke of Cambridge cabled to Lord Russel.The General was, of course, very much surprised at receiving such a message, and much more surprised to find that the facts had been telegraphed all over the world before he was out of bed or had heard anything about it.Gen.Russel, however, will not be caught napping again.He is understood to have indorsed the prompt action and the extraordinary precautionary measures taken by his officers to guard the forts and magazines, and the regulations now in force are so stringent that it is next to impossible for a would-be dynamiter, attempting to operate upon any of the fortifications to escape.What adds to the chagrin of the military people is the fact that the three men who were surprised on Georges\u2019 Island made good their escape in such a clever manner.WORK OF THE RAILWAY COMMITTEE The Question of Entranee to Toronto in Pispute Between the G.T.R.and the C.P.R, Orrawa, Dec.13.\u2014The dispute between the C.P.R.and G'T.R., concerning the C.P.R.entrance into Toronto,

Carlyle, Verrall, Woods and Sproat, of Toronto.The Toronto City Council supports the C.P.R.contentions.The GTR was represented by John, Ball, Q.(., Belleville, The CPR.wants to get into Toronto on the eastern side, direct from Montreal.T.G.Shaugl- nessy, Assistant-General Manager, says that the road some time ago adopted the suggestion of Toronto to build tracks along the Don River improvements in the East End.After this it obtained an eligible site, secured the right of way, and purchased two thousand feet frontage on Toronto Bay.Mr, Bell argued on behalfof the Grand Trunk that the committee had no jurisdiction to hear the case.It was not a dispute where the parties joined issue and came here to obtain a settlement to obtain a settlement.His company denied ever having made any agreement with the other road about crossing at Parliament street.The objections of Bell were taken into consideration.The dispute De- tween the Corporation of Toronto and the various railways converging there over the Dundas street bridge, were also heard to-day.The city wants the C.P.R,, G.T.R.and Northern toreplace the present wooden bridge across Dundas street with an iron structure, zgreeiny itself to pay a just proportion of she coast.FROM THE ANCIENT CAPITAL.TTe Political Shuffle-Lost her own Life in Saving her Children\u2014Elec- tion Petition Case\u2014New Legislative

Bright Criticised.PRESIDENT CARNOT'S MESSAGE, Peaceful and Conciliatory in its Tenor, Paris, December 13.\u2014President Carnot's message was sent to the Chambers to-day.In \u2018it he says-that he is fully sensible of the honor conferred upon him by his election to the Presidency, and of the great duties entrusted to him.His appointment clearly proclaims that Parliament has resolved to put aside all causes for disagreement, and that regard for the vital interests of the country and legitimate influence abroad calls for a unioh of all representatives devoted to the nation, and, animated by a common patriotism.For him, upon whom has fallen the honor of uniting the suffrages of the different sections the first duty is to show that he himself is penetrated with a spirit of conciliation.The Government will therefore endeavor to facilitate harmony by calling upon the members of the Legislature to work on common ground for the moral and material interests of the nation.With peace, security and confidence, the Government hopes to assure to the country steady progress and practical reform, calculated to encourage industry, strengthen credit and produce a revival of business.Preparations are being made for a great INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITINN IN 1889.The Government desires to give consideration to measures affecting labor, publie hygiene, and national thrift, and lt especially wishes tostudy and improve the financial condition, so as to effect an equilibrium between the revenue and expenditure, and to symplify the administrative and judicialsystems.The Government is also solicitous to give a large share of attention to the land and seu forces.It is for the Chamber, continues the message, to endow the Government with power to execute the programme which will prepare for the country a lasting era for prosperous and fruitful activity, and thus give Europe à precious pledge of the ardent desire of France to strengthen the general peace and assist in the development of good relations between the Pnir-oxce tive in your support, Government will be a vigilant and resolute guardian of the Constitution and laws of France.Thus respected abroad and calm and peaceful at home, the nation will be able to prepare activity for a fitting celebration of the great coming exhibition.The message was well received.Af ter it had been read the Chambers adjourned until Thursday.M.Tirard, Prine Minister and Minister of Finance, will introduce a bill asking for a provisional budget for three months.The Bourge was firm to-day until the close, when it became weak on the rumors of a fresh Cobinet ditfienity.MEETING OF IRISH LANDLORDS Demands ¢ompensation from Governe ment, Drury, Dee.13.\u2014The Duke of Aber- corn presided at a conference of landlords held here to-day, and made a speech in which he condemned absenteeism.A delegation was appointed to submit co the Government that the land owners of Ireland are entitled to compensation for the losses sustained through the action of the Government in reducing rents to a greater extent than was justified by economic causes by deprive ing landlords of a reversionary interest in the occupancy of the soil in lessening the saleable and receivealble value of judicial rents and in depriving land owners of the right to obtain the best rent a solvent tenant was able to pay in the open market.The delegation will claim that the land owners are entitled to a direct pecuniary grant to compensate them for the losses, and to indirect relief in the shape of a grant to them of advances within limits whtch would involve no risk to the Government, compulsory reduction of the interest on mortgages they will insist as unjust and impolitic as it is impossible to distinguish betwee mortgages and family

Loxnox, Dec.153.\u2014Mr.Gladstone in a letter to a Liberal meeting®at Denocon, Scotland, says :\u2014* Shocking and painful discord is being created in the name of the Union, as at one time the worst crimes were committed in the name of liberty.The state of Ireland has grown sadly worse under the present Government.\u201d American Citizen Tried for Murder.Loxpox, December 13.\u2014A true bill for murder has been found against Dan.Doherty for killing Geo.E.Graham.This virtually seals Doherty\u2019s fate.He will undoubtedly be sentenced to be hanged at Newgate, and the execution will occur the second Monday after sentence.Doherty was arraigned to-day.He will be formally tried early in January.Weakness of the French Cabinet.Paris, Dec.13.\u2014The formation of the Tirard minisiry was Trought about by the threat of President Carnot to resign if M.Tirard refused to go ahead with the task.It is now called \u201c Carnot\u2019s Cabinet.\u201d The organ of M.Clemenceau and other Radical organs make violent attacks on the new Government, which, it is expected, will collapse after the holidays.What John Bright Deserved.Loxnox, Dec.13.\u2014The News, commenting on John Bright's letter, says: \u2014* Mr.Bright has never, unless of his own free will, seen the inside of a jail.If he had been an Irishman he would have been imprisoned forty years ago, and Tory landlords would have written of him exactly as he now writes about Mr.O'Brien.\u201d Debate on the German Cereals Bill, BrruiN, Dec.13.\u2014The Reichstag, after a debate which lasted seven hours, rejected the proposal of the Government to raise the tax on wheat and rye to six marks.The vote was 238 against and 108 in favor of the measure.A proposal to make the duty five marks was adopted by a vote of 213 to 126.The Retchstag will resume the debate on the cereal duties bill to-morrow.The Government was not surprised at the result of to-niglit's division and will accept modification.me Ferry More Popular.Paris, Dec.13.\u2014Ferry seems not to have been seriously wounded, despite pessimistic bulletins.The attempt upon his life has made him for the moment a far bigger figure than Carnot, the new President.People are saying that it is a great pity, if he had to be shot at, that the attempt was not made a day or two before the decision of Congress, when bis election would have been certain.Although the Republigne Francaise and all the reactionary papers talk about the necessity of suspending the press laws and muzzling the Lanterne, Intreansicgent, and the rest of the anarchist sheets, no such thing is likely to be seriously proposed.It is said Tirard\u2019s Ministry will not last out the week.Address From Catholie Englishmen.LoxpoN, Dec.13.\u2014An address to be signed by many English Catholics will be presented to Mer.Persico, who was charged by the Pope to make a personal investigation of affairs In Ireland, assuring him of their devotion to the Holy See and expressing the hope that hs mission will result in inducing the Pope to assist in obtaining for Ireland the fulfilment of the nationalra aspitions.The address wil repudiate the actions of those English Catholics who have adopted a course of bitter and uncompromising hostility toward Ireland.The address has already been signed by the Marquis of Ripon, Lord Ashburnham, Lord Orford and other prominent gentlemen and is now being circulated for signature among the Catholics of England.Meeting of English Liberals, Loxnox, Dec.13.\u2014The Eighty Club gave a banquet to-night in honor of Earl Granville.Ina speech Lord Granville contended that the reception given to Lord Hartington and Mr.Goschen in Dublin was no test of public opinion.The desertions had not destroyed the Liberal party, which was endowed with enduring vitality, carrying aloft the banner of progress.The Liberals did not wish to declare that the dissidents were beyond the pole of the party, on the contrary they wished to bring about a reunion.Butit was impossible to achieve reunion by the suspension of the Irish question, not all the power of Lord Salisbury and Mr.Gladstone united could do that.[Hear, hear.] If the Government undertook to settle the Irish question upon a reasonable basis of self-zovernment.They would have the hearty support of the Liberals.It would be better for the Government to try to settle the Irish question than to follow their present course, which tended Lo take from the Irish all respect for tie aw.\u201d rm.= + , STR crald SUBSCRIPTION $6.00 PER ANNUM!

AND DEMPSEY.After Many Trials Bring Their Contest to the Decision of the Ring\u2014A Battle of 43 Rounds, One Hour and Nine Minutes\u2019 Time.NEW York, December 13.\u2014Jack Demps sey and John Reagan met this morning within 100 miles of New York up the Hudson, to decide in a fight to a finish, under London Prize Ring Rules, which of the two was entitled to the middleweight championship of America and 82,000 stake money.It was the third attempt that had been made to pull off the fight.The first being on Saturday morning at Islip, LIL, and which was prevented by the authorities.The secs ond was on Monday morning in the vici« nity of Flushing, L.I, and was prevented by fog which was so dense that the principals could not leave this city on the boat chartered totake them to the battle ground.Last night all who intended to go to fight were on qui vive and the ruses employed to throw people off were many between 10.3 and 11 pm.À North River dock contained the chosen few who were privileged to see the mill, about twenty embarked on a chartered tug which left the dock at 11 oclock.Torun to the battle ground was uneventful.The principals went to bed for a final snooze before the struggle at 6.45 a.m.the grounds was reached and the work of pitching the ring at once began.The selection of the place proved to be most unfortunate.It should have been on higher ground and further away from the water under the circumstances.An adjournment was found to be necessary after a few rounds had been fought.At 7.33 the ring was completed.It was of the regulation dimensions, 24 feet square.The men were not slow in their preparations and at 8.15 Regan appeared, walking from the boat to the ring, and having thrown his cap into the ring, jumped in after it.He was followed by his trainer, Bob Smith.Dempsey followed almost on his heels, casting his square topped Derby hat before him as he leaped over the ropes into the ring.The two men at last stood face to face, and those who saw the eight rounds fought there between the two will not s(01 forget them.The umpire for Reagan tossed a $20 gold piece for choice of corners.The umpire for Dempsey called \u201ctails\u201d and won.Ile chose the corner which gave the sun to Dempsey\u2019s back and left it in Reagan\u2019s eyes.While the men were standing in the ring they chatted smilingly with each other before they went to their corners to make their final preparations.From the outset Reagan was evidently overmatched, and though he fought with the utmost gameness, atthe beginning of round 45, Bob Smith,at the solicitation of Reagan's friends, who saw he had no chance of winning, jumped into the ring and threw up the sponge.The fight lasted one hour and nine minutes, and leaves Dempsey still the champion middleweight.Both men weighed at the ring to-day 147 each.Dempsey is 25 years and Reagan 21 years old.Dempsey is5 feet 8% inches high, and Reagan 5 feet 64 inches.Dempsey has won thirty battles and has had six draws.He has never been defeated.Reagan has onl fought two fights before.This is his third and Lis first defeat.Iliness of Master Workman Powderly.New York, Dec.13.\u2014General Master

There is at present more evidence of strain in the money market in this city than in New York, but it is claimed by some good authorities that special efforts are made in the latter city by speculators to give things an appearance of ease that does not really belong to them.The Chicago rates are pased almost entirely on the requirements of persons engaged in legitimate business speculation having very little to do withthem.We have not this week gained any money at the ex- nse of the metropolis.Last week one institution in Chicago received $500,000 in gold from New York, and that shipment alone was sufficient to account for more than half of the loss of specie by the New York banks.There is no longer any motive for ordering current money from New York, as exchange can be sold at par or 25 cents discount.It may be that further shipments to Canada will be necessary, as the financial situation there is somewhat strained, but in the absence of such shipments it would seem that the drain on New York ought to be over for the present and that the bank statement for next Saturday will be more favorable than any we have recently had.High rates for money prevail all over the south, and the drift of currency has been that way from the metropolis for weeks, but the wants of the people are nearly supplied, it appears, will, no doubt, soon be made.It is risky making predictions as tothe money market in the month of December, but barring such a thing as a temporary squeeze which is likely to be engineered in Wall street at any time it would seem that the market has reached the top and that we may expect to move gradually down to a comfortable level from this time to the middle of January, when the interest and dividend money will be in circulation._\u2014 ee.BANK OF TORONTO.Return of the amount of liabilities and assets of the Bank of Toronto, on the 30th of November, 1857 :\u2014 Capital authovized.Capital subscribed.Capital paid up.Reserve fund.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026csesces Last dividend declared, rate per annum, eight per cent.and bonus.LIABILITIES.Notes incirculation.3 1,278,073 (0 Dominion Government deposits, payable on demand.45,306,61 CO Dominion Government deposits, payable after notice on a fixéd exceution of Dominion Government contracts and for Insurance Compunies.Provincial Government deposits, payableon demand.Provincial Government deposits, payable after notice or on a 3,198,114 26 1,973,977 04 MAN.ov iia Other deposits, payable after notice or on a fixgd day Loans from, or deposits made by, other Banks in Canada, secured Loans from, or deposits made by, other Banks in Canada, un- SECUTEM.ivvirirairncnnnnarninas Due to other Banks in Canada.Due to Agencies of the Bank, or other Banks or Agencies in for- 149,399 86 3,431 07 _and advances to the public.Notes and Bills discounted overdue, and not specially secured.Other overdue debts not specially SECUTEU.220212000000 ann ac 0000 Notes and Bills discounted overdue, and other overdue debts secured by mortgage or other 20 ë state, or by deo doch Si, > 85 on stock, or y other securities.Real Estate, the property of the Bank (other than the Bank Premises).ooooov viii Mortgages on real estate sold by the Bank Bank premises.Other asscts not luded under the foregoing heads.7,060,977 19 4,529 18 3,659 044 9,219 50 + Total assets.$ 10,182,712 G1 CANADIAN SECURITIES IN LONDON.The following are the prices of the leading Canadian securities, with the movements which have taken place in them, and others of less importance, during the week ending Nov.30th :\u2014 Price.Ris.Fall Canada 5:per cents, 1868.lis;

maids were busy with the final packing of trunks; porters were carrying to the ground floor Tor transportation luggage conspicuously marked in big letters \u201cA.P.N.\u201d In the salon were a score of visitors waiting to take leave of Patti, who was just breakfasting.She came out promptly, however, dressed in a stylish brown camel's hair travelling costume, looking younger than ever.SORRY FOR GERSTER.Mme.Patti, after an exchange of compliments with the Heralds envoy, expressed deep regret at learning of Mme.Gerster's misfortune.When asked how it happened that so young a singer as Mme.Gerster should lose her vocal powers so early, Mme.Patti replied with genuine sincerity :\u2014 \u201cTt is not for me to say what I think about it, for it is a rather delicate matter for me to speak of.\u201d \u201c But,\u201d said the correspondent, \u201c it is now a subject of public comment.There canbe no harm in saying what you think of the matter.\u201d CHILD BEARING FATAL TO VOICES.After a moments hesitation Mme.Patti id: \u2014\u201cYou know there are only a few singers who have brought children into the world and who have heen able to retain their vocal powers, Grisi did, for one, I know;

By Fred.H.Warruth.) À big railroad grader who loomed up like the late Goliath came in and sat down in a \u201cturned seat\u201d opposite a very little man.The large gentleman was comfortably drunk\u2014the little man rather looked as if he might be a prohibitionist.The big man snorted a few times, wiped his feet on the small man\u2019s cushion, and then remarked :\u2014 , \u201cSay! I jes\u2019 despise a little, dried-up, insignifercant man \u201c Er\u2014ah\u2014is that so?\u201d said the little man, with a weak, nerveless smile.¢ Commonly I eat \u2019em!\u201d continued the large party in a loud voice.The little man\u2019s smile grew more feeble and ghastly.\u201cI chaw em up and leave \u2019em !\u201d\u201d continued the grader fiercely, as he elared around without appearing to notice the small man with the dying smile, \u201c1 wouldn't hit a little, gheakin\u2019, wad of a man that weighed lpg§s than a hundred and fifty, cause thee wouldn't be enough of him left for a, funeral; but I've bit more\u2019n a million4f \u2019em !\u201d The little man, weighed less than a hundred and thirty and appeared to he growing rapidly smaller.) \u201c Why, blank their little hides \u201d went on the bad, big man, \u201c there orter be a law agin \u2019em! They got to pass it mighty quick, though, or I'll have \u2019em all killed off?\u201d The little man was looking at the window out « f the corners of his eves and contemplating a leap.\u201c Somebody tie my hands 'n\u2019 feet an\u2019 show me one o\u2019 these small men!\u201d velled the grader as he warmed up.\u201cLemme lean over an\u2019 fall on him an\u2019 sqush him ! Somebody hold me an\u2019 lead up a small man aw\u2019 lemme look at him an\u2019 par\u2019lize him! Ya\u2014a\u2014a\u2014ah! Lemme breathe on one of\u2019em an\u2019 scorch him!\u201d The little man had his feet braced and gripped his umbrella with the enerzv of a last hope, as he resolved to sell his life as dearly as possible.\u201cWar-r-r thar! Gimme one o Git outer my way ; these vere dwarfs or Pll bust yer car!\u201d yelled the big man, as he rose up and began striking out wildly at the air.\u201cShow me a little man, \u2019cause I'm hungry ! Bring me one for my supper! Hi-i thar! Dash me, here's one now\u2014 see me chaw him!\u201d And he made a lunge at the little man, who in some unaccountable way shot up over the back of his seat, and rushed along the aisle and out the door ontotherear platform, where he rode to the next station, while the big man subsided and spread his feet all overthe opposite seat, pulled his hat down over his eyes, and only grunted and kicked aimlessly at the arm of the seat when the conductor came along and demanded a ticket.Then the newly-wedded couple was returning from the wedding tour.\u201cGeorge,\u201d said the bride, as she suddenly straightened up and patted down her frizzes, \u201c there's a wrinkle or something on the shoulder of your coat that hurts my ear.\u201d \u201cThere ain\u2019t any wrinkle there, darling.\u201d \u201cThen it's some horrid padding or something in your coat.\u201d \u201cThere ain't any padding either, little one.\u201d \u201cWell, I know its something, \u2019cause my ear\u2019s \u2019hout eut off?\u201cIt's jes\u2019 like it alays was, Jule.\u201d \u201cI know better, and I ain't goin\u2019 to lay my head on your shoulder any more !\u201d \u201c Mebby it never hurt your ear none to lay it on Hen Ford\u2019s shoulder \u201d\u201d \u201cW'v\u2014no it didn't ; so there\u201d \u201cebby you'd like to lay your head on Hen Ford's shoulder now?\u201d \u201cWell\u2014T'd rather than on your old shoulder!\u201d \u201c>Twouldn*t * be Hen !\u201d \u201c Hen's jes\u2019 as big as you are, George Smith!\u201d \u201c Mebby you wish you\u2019d married Hen in place of me ?\u201d ; \u201cIfIhad I wouldnt \u2019a\u2019 had a b-i-g c-r-o-s-s-b\u2019ar for a husband, so-so-o, G-G-orge, 1 didn\u2019t mean to!\u201d And George looked sheepish but relieved, and drew her head down onto the objectionable sholder and she never moved till we reached Lost River, where they got off and rode away home in a wagen with a red box and four new spokes: in one hind wheel.In the smoking-car there were some thirty or forty railroad-graders who had finished a grading contract and were headed for the Wisconsin pineries for the winter.The cup that cheers, iu the guise of a flat bottle, circulated on all sides.After some time a big man without any coat or vest, and wearing a red woolen shirt, got up in the forward end of the car, slammed his broad-brimmed hat down on the car floor, and jumped onto it and yelled: | \u201cBoys, I'm a-runnin\u2019 this \u2018ere train!\u201d \u201cYou bet!\u201d whooped the others.\u201cYou afl know Old Jerry Hostetter!

Boys, was Old Jorry Hostetter ever licked?\u201d « Not much \u201d roared the crowd.«That's what!\u201d replied the redoubtable Jerry, as he jumped up and down on his hat, \u201cthat\u2019s what, ev'ry whack! He wasn\u2019t never licked, an\u2019 he ain\u2019t never goin\u2019 to be! I am a-runnin\u2019 this \u2018ere train, an\u2019 what I want to say is, that I can lick the conductor!

Per- rault cheque is undoubtedly the right one.Mr.Perrault being a tenderer for à certain contract handed in the customary cheque.He made this cheque payable to a person named O'Meara.It happened that this O'Meara was a suber- dinate officer in the City Clerk\u2019s office.The cheque was not even made payable to him in his official capacity, but simply to the order of P.O'Meara.The cheque was held for some time in the precincts of the City Hall and was eventually placed to the credit of P.O'Meara in the Bank du Peuple, and the proceeds drawn by that person in several amounts.Mr.O'Meara then left the city, and pursued a varied career, a portion of which was spent in New York.Mr.Perrault obtained the contract for which he tendered, and having fulfilled it, demanded the return of his deposit.The City Hall Committee say they did not receive any money, and have none of Mr.Perrault's to return, and it is hard to see why the city should be liable for a cheque given to P.O'Meara more than for one given to John Jones.Mr.Perrault\u2019s claim rests on the facts: 1.That the City Hall Committee of that day ordered all deposits to he made payable to \u201cP.O'Meara, Assistant City Clerk,\u201d and that the contract having been given, prima facie evidence was afforded that, the City Hall Committee, which awarded the contract, was satisfied the deposit had been paid.Mr.Perrault, unfortunately, omitted the words \u201c Assistant City Clerk,\u201d and, therefore, it Mr.O'Meara claimed the amount he received, as asum due or promised to him on private ac- count\u2014as we understand he did\u2014there is nothing to show that it was the deposit accompanying Mr.Perrault\u2019s tender.It seems to be a case the law and equity of which only a competent judge can determine and therefore we think that Aldermen White and Grenier are right in saying that it should be tried.But there is another detail of the question upon which further light is required.There is a rule of Council that all monies received on their account must be paid to the City Treasurer.What explanation have the gentlemen composing the then City Hall Committee to make of their departure from this rule, in instructing ten- derers to make their cheques payable to an Assistant City Clerk instead of to the Treasurer ?And if the law should sustain Mr.Perrault in his demand for the return of the money which he gave, lent, paid, or whatever it may prove to be, to P.O'Meara, the question must arise whether the loss is mot one properly to be borne by the members of the Committee whose departure from the rules occasioned it.It seems hard that Mr.Perrault should lose $1,000 by the accidental omission of some words on a cheque, but it isequally hard that the public should lose it by his neglect to observe the precautions laid down for his guidance and th8ir security, and doubly hard that the primary cause of the loss should be the defiance of well- established rules by a committee of the men who had made them.\u2014_\u2014 A FATLURE 80 FAR.\u201c There is no longer any secret as to the progress made by the International Commission at Washington.Difficult as it was to keep the proceedings of the Commission secret at the outset, it, of course, became impossible when Congress met, and it became nece ssary to ascertain the views and opinions of leading public men.But a fairly accurate indication had previously been given.The British Commissioners offered to concede the demands of tle Americans in the matter of\u201d fishing, including the inshore fishing, and the rightto touch and trade as understood by the Americans, in return for the free entry of Canadian fish and agricultural products.The offer has been declined.There was little reason to hope that it would be accepted.The public men and press of the States have been unanimous in calling this a jug-handled arrangement to which they would not agree.The Commission has so far failed to accomplish anything and it has adjourned until January.The obvious way of ending all diffieul- ties in this matter, that of Unrestricted Reciprocity was not suggested by Canada\u2019s Commission.Sir Charles Tupper, in fact, told Mr.Carlisle, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, that Canadians as a rule did not desire it.With such information coming from such a quarter, the United States Commissioners could not, of course, make any proposition having enlarged trade in view.The opportunity was killed by our own friends.There is no reason to suppose that any outcome more advantageous to Canada will result from this commission.There is some reason to fear, however, that something will be done that is not in Canada\u2019s interest.If the British Commissioners are determined upon arriving at some settlement, and at the same time refuse to consider the only settlement by which Canada can benefit and to which the Americans will agree, there is noting for it but to sacrifice Canada THE MONTREAL HERALD AND DAILY COMMERCIAL : In 3a pt Coa Tee vote Tey man Ur.Voy i will be gratified for the mass of the people will be handed over to them for still closer squeezing, and this fact is the ominous one.It is the people of Canada versus the \u201c Combines \"\u201d and the English manufacturers, and the latter have the Ottawa Government on their side.But how long will they suffer this ?\u2014 \u2014\u2014\u2014_ CANADA'S DEBT.A Canadian paper having stated that the debt of Canada is already over $50 per head of the population, while that of the United States is under $25, the Belleville Intelligencer \u201crushed to the rescue\u201d and said :\u2014 It is not true that our debt is over $50 per head of the population.It is not true that our debt is nearly as large, per capita, as that of the United States, deducting from the net debt of each country the amount spent upon public works and railways.The Dominion Government pays for nearly ail public works.and furnishes liberal subsidies, aggregating over three millions of dollars annually, to the provinces.The statement contradicted by the In- telligencer no doubt referred to the gross debt, and is correct.The \u2018cross debt of the Dominion on the 30th November was $273,473,429, or $54 per head of the population.The net debt at the same time was $227,476,526, or $45 per head.During the month of November the debt increased $661,677, or $22,000 per day ; while the increase since the 30th June, 1886, was $4,584,419, or $269,671 per month, Since June 30th, 1886, the value of the assets claimed against the debt has declined from $59,005,234 to $45,726,983.In the light of these figures, which are official and must be assumed to be correct, the hardihood of the Intel- ligencer in denying plain, positive facts, would be regarded as astounding,were it not that it is a Tory paper of the \u201c blihd share \u201d species.Its denial of the facts in relation to the debt, it will be seen, is based on the rubbishy subterfuge that the amount of capital expended by the Government on public works and rail ways should be deducted from the debt.The Intelligencer surely has sense enough to enable it to understand that the railways and public works are not regarded as an available asset against the debt.Debt is debt, no matter how or why contracted ; and the point which interests the people of Canada is that they owe a national deht of $273,000,000; that against this debt there available assets claimed of $15,500,000, leaving a net debt of $227,000,000, for which the taxpayers of Canada are liable and on which they are paying an actual net interest yearly of $8,000,000,the gross interest being upwards of $10,000,000.No amount of evasive quibbling can obliterate these facts.HEARD OF IT AT LAST.Queen Anne is dead and the Dutch are in Holland; though it may be doubted whether the news of these events T5 reached the Quebec Harbor Commissioners.That body has just written to the Board of Trade of Montreal acknowledging the receipt of a letter complaining of tbe inconvenience and danger incurred by the steamship \u201c Katie,\u201d on her arrival in the St.Lawrence towards the close of the past season.These Quebec gentlemen state that the letter from the Board of Trade of Montreal is the first intimation they have had of the occurrence of which the captain of the Katie complained.Considering that the newspapers of this city published Captain Lund's statements, interviews with him, and that Tue HeraLp contained a reply written from Father Point on behalf of the pilot, the public will be justified in asking whether the Quebec Harbor Commissioners trouble themselves about anything that happens within their jurisdiction.The Katie came to Montreal; the captain made his complaint, unloaded his vessel, was interviewed by newspaper reporters, loaded his ship, sailed for England, and probably by this time is on his way to Australia or somewhere, and yet the Quebee Harbor Commissioners have only just heard the first thing about the case.Compared to these gen- bright, active, newsy person.\u2014\u2014\u2014 SUGAR BEET CULTURE.British Columbia papers are excited over the possibility of beet sugar culture being added to the industries of that Province.Claus Spreckles, the former \u201csugar king\u201d of the Sandwich Islands, who recently returned from a trip to Austria, Germany and France, has been telling the people of Northern California that it is quite practicable to establish the beet sugar industry in that and other States of the Union.He argues that farmers should grow beets on their land every third year\u2014a rotation which will bring back to the soil much of the productiveness extracted from it by other crops.With a market furnished by the erection of sugar factories, he claithed that farmers should net from $50 to $75 an acre, about double the net return from wheat.At a meeting at Watsonville, in the Pajaro Valley, California, Mr.Spreckles detailed his plang as follows :(\u2014\u201c I propose to erect factories \u201c that will consume 350 tons of beets in \u201c twenty-four hours.This will require \u201c seven tons of lime, which is a good fer- \u201c tilizer, and can be returned to the soil \u201cagain.Sometimes you find feed is \u201cscarce, you can cut your straw and \u201ctake the pulp from the beets to feed \u201c your cattle, when you will have sleek \u201c cattle all the year round and be able \u201c to put plenty manure back to the soil.\u201c In Germany the farmers say they can- \u201c not raise wheat to compete with Cali- \u201c fornia, but they do better than us in \u201csugar.Germany exports 600,000 tons \u201c ofsugar and produces 1,024,000 tons.\u201c We will do the same here.In Austria \u201cthere are 233 beet-sugar factories; in \u201c Switzerland, 264; in Belgium, 183; in \u201c Holland, 44; in Germany, 402; in Den- \u201cmark, 9; in Sweden, 9; in Spain, \u201c10; in Italy, 7, but two are not a tlemen, Rip Van Winkle appears a | \u201cin Europe.France produces from \u201c 500,000 to 600,000 tons of sugar, and it \u201chas one central factory.I have not \u201c vet selected a place, but am ready to \u201c put up ten factories if you will help me \u201cand show where you will raise the \u201c beets.The first factory I will erect my- \u201c self if you guarantee to cultivate a cer- \u201ctain number of acres with beets every \u201cyear.If one factory is not large \u201cenough, then I will erect another, or \u201c you can do so if you want to, and I wil \u201c give $100,000 towards it.In Germany \u201c two-thirds of the factories are owned \u201cby the farmers themselves, and with \u201c this interest and 100 acres of land they \u201c have become rich by the beet-sugar in- \u201cdustry.It is for you to consider \u201cwhether Pajaro Valley is willing to \u201c raise beets or not.\u201d The inducements held out to the Pajaro Valley people by Spreckles have attracted the attention of people in British Columbia.The Victoria Colonist points out that beets with the best saccharine properties can be grown in abundance in the Fraser River valley, and urzes that some inducement should bé held out to start and promote their cultivation.Our contemporary argues that in view of the anticipated development of the capabilities of that Province building for the future shoul! begin now.Whether the beet sugar industry can be made a success in British Columbia, even with the aid of the bounty suggested by the Colonist, is a question ; but there can be no doubt as to the value of the beet as food for cattle, and if that province can raise cattle and sheep, she can also raise the product to fatten them for the market.would be a valuable industry.0 SHEEP-RAISING.People in this part of the world have little conception of the importance and extent of the sheep and wool industries of the Australian Colonies and New Zeu- land.In 1886, §4,222272 sheep were owned in Australia and New Zealand.In the latter Colony sheep running was started by Australians in 1848, and in 1860 there were 2,400,000 sheep there.These increased to 5,700,000 in 1865, to 9,500,000 in 1870, to 14,300,000 in 1877, and to 16,677,435 in 1886.Estimated at the comparatively small sum of $2 per head the sheep of the above mehtioned colonies would represent a capital of nearly $170,- 000,000.The yield of these flocks amounts now to upwards of 400,000,000 pounds of wool yearly, valued at $85.- 000,000.Great Britain's importations ot wool in 1886 amounted to 1,819,182 hales, of which nearly three-fourths, or 1,139,- 842 bales were the product of the Australian Colonies and New Zealand.These figures indicate the value and extent of the sheep and wool industries of those coun- trive, whioh omalyrAUG d11 ared OI 9,001,007 square miles and have a population of 3,- 290,000.Canada, with an area of 3,610,257 square miles, and a population of about 5,000,000, had only 3,048,678 sheep in 1881, as compared with 3,155,509 in the four original Provinces of the Dominion in 1871.This represents progress backwards and should not be.It is quite true that Canada can never expect to equal the Australian colonies in sheep raising, but she should be moving forward instead of backward in this respect.Many portions of the Dominion, particularly in the Maritime Provinces and British Columbia, are admirably adapted for the sheep-raising industry, which can generally be depended upon to be fairly remunerative, and would probably in the long run benefit the country more than industries which have to be \u201c fostered \u201d by excess of special legislation and upheld by bounties contributed by the peo- to the public treasury.A great dealis said now-a-days about building up home industries, but here is one which can be built up without the interference of special legislation, which, with ordinary care and prudence, can be made a source of substantial wealth, and should therefore receive greater attention at the hands of the Canadian people.agp Tue Ottawa Citizen in making some reflections upon a minister of the Crown, \u201cthreatening railway employees with \u201c dismigsal if they did not vote for a can- \u2018\u201c didate pledged to support the Govern- \u201c ment of which he is a member,\u201d may affect to be censuring whom it pleases, but we implore it to own up and admit that it intends it for a dig at Mr.\u2014 in his relations with the Intercolonial Railway.-eee\u2014\u2014 Tue Latest ARGUMENT.\u2014The Winnipeg Morning Call has launched a new and powerful argument against Commercial Union.It is that * Mr.Erastus Wiman «is an ambitious man, whose chief in- \u201c terests are wrapped up in the United \u201cStates, and who is desirous of re- \u201c presenting Ontario in the United \u201cStates Senate.\u201d This argument may be regarded as conclusive.Mr.Wiman must henceforth be regarded as a wicked man.There is nothing more to be said in favor of Commercial Union.The Call having killed it, will no doubt call offits dogs, and will never again feel called upon to rise in its might and deprive it of life.Wonderful Call.\u2014 TORONTO Mail :~The wonderful climate of Manitoba is prescribed by a Winnipeg jeur- nal as a cure for chest and lung complaints, It has always been understood that the climate was the best on the continent, but until now its peculiar curative powers have not been appreciated owing probably to the tendency among the Indians to suffer from the very diseases the Manitoba climate cures.To town lots are procurable :anywhere in the province at reasonable rates.Lung complaints, Manitoba\u2019s climate and eligible town lots form a very striking \u201c three links,\u201d which are no doubt

protection has come to America to stay.The pôlicy is neither thereor in Canada a live political issue.Both parties favor it in both countries.Perhaps the Sun is entitled to speak for the Tory party ; its right to speak for the Liberal party cannot be conceded.Liberals tolerate protection, mainly because the necessities of revenue render high taxation inevitable.For this reason, even if they had the power, until à reduction in expenditure could be brought about, they could not very much reduce N.P.taxation\u2014they could only modify some of its more anomalous features.Besides, a sudden and radical change in the fiscal policy of the country (other than the adoption of enlarged commercial relations with the United States and other countries) would be inadvisable, because it would seriously disturb business, and might injure vested interests which have grown up under the tariff and are entitled to consideration.Canada can oaly get back to a sound fiscal policy by degrees, just as the Americans are now starting out on that line.Necessity sometimes compels people to submit to many distasteful things, but this does not prove that they are in love with them.The necessity of Canada maintiining an abnormal tariff for some time to come does not prove that the Liberal party is in love with such a pblicy.Perhaps the Tory party is.In the past it has upheld many equally great absurdities.WHAT OTHERS SAY.[Ottawa Free Press.] The sho Heralp appeared this morning an eight page paper, for the first timejsince the fire.If is now published from the new premises at the foot of Beaver Hall Hill.and is in every respect a first-class newspaper.(New York Commercial Advertiser, Rep.)

of the Grand Trunk and Canadian Pacific who could provide the filling; of the corporation who could superintend the paving, drainage and road making, all these operations could be carried out in a single winter season, $0 as not to interfere with the trade and navigation of the port during the following summer.This would involve an approxirhute cost of about $500,- (00.This scheme has received the approbation of some of the most competent men engaged on the Grand Trunk and Canadian Pacific, steam- shi and steamboat Companies, of the engineer in charge of the Government canals, of the street proprietors and most prominent commercial men will also be favorable.I therefore hope, by the influential support of the members of the Inundation Committee of the city to have it carried out.Mr.Perrault, in referring to the matter, stated that he had been authorized by Messrs.Van Horne, Shaughnessy, Andrew Allan, Wainwright, Reford, Torrance and Labelle, to state that they recognized the feasibility of his scheme and entirely approved of it.Mr.Parent, the engineer of the canal, also approved of it, and stated that it was practicable, economical, and should be carried out.When considering his scheme it should be remembered that the exceptionally large traflic carried on this street was seriously incommoded by its width, which, now that the dyke was constructed, had been reduced to forty feet.The Flood Commission, after considering the matter, had not proposed any immediate remedy, and he felt that it was time that the interested parties should take the matter up and do something.If the Inundation Committee both Boards of Trade and the Railway Companies and merchants took hold of it and formed a joint committee, something would surely be done to improve the facilities of the harbor which would not fail of greatly benefitting the interests of Montreal.If the proposition were carried out that part of the city in the vicinity of the proposed boulevard would rise greatly in value, from the fact of the jucreased traffic.They all know the inconvenience put upon traffic by the present capacity of the wharves.They necessitate considerable la- hor in the handling of merchandise, which would be done away with by the adoption of the proposed scheme.Besides, it would afford the much-desired chance to the C.P.R.to get to the canal, and vice versa for the G,T.R.to Hochelaga.The boulevard, moreover, would double the facilities for traffic.Mr.Parent, C.E., said that the scheme was quite feasible, and that it could be easily and economically carried out.He felt sure that the Government would raise no objection to the raising of the banks of the canal, and he could see no other possible objection.As to the cost, le was not prepared to speak.However, even if it did cost a great deal more than Mr.Perrault stated, it would yet be much cheaper than the scheme proposed by the Plood Cnmmission.Ald.Grenier expressed the thanks of the committee to the French Board of Trade for its suggestions, and said it would receive the fullest consideration.Ald.Wilson said that the scheme wus both feasible and economical.Ald.Grenier\u2014\u201c Even if it was double the cost stipulated by Mr.Perrault it will be much oheaper than the commission\u2019s scheme, which was placed at millions.\u201d Mr.Tyrrell explained certain propositions in reference to the prevention of the formation of ice in the river.Ald.Archibald asked how the work on the dyke was progsessing ?.Pr.St.George remarked that if they would visit it they would find that the condition of affairs had greatly improved.It was decided to visit the dyke on Saturday at one o'clock, and the meeting adjourned.se 2AS, r ; ROBERT BURNS.Rev.Mr.Hill Upon the Scottish Bard.Rev.J.Edgar Hill, of St.Andrew\u2019s Church, delivered a lecture on the \u201c Theology of Robert Burns\u201d in the lec- ture-room of that church, last evening.The lecture was largely attended.The lecturer asked his audience to keep before them the difference between theology and religion, remarking that if Burns had been asked to form one of the circle of theologians of the day he would have declined the honor.They were the class against whom Burns had beenmost bitterly opposed, and it was on account of his ridicule of their hypocritical tears that he was classed by them as a scoffer.Burns, like every other poet, was the mirror of his times, and as the poet sees he sings.His writings, the speaker said, were characterized by transparency and candor, and of no one did he write more fiercely than of himself.They were, therefore, through this fact, afforded an excellent chance of judging of Burns\u2019 impressions as to religion.which were not unsound.He recognized that he was a sinner, but pleaded for mercy, although he knew that he did THE MONTREAL HERALD AND DAILY COMMERCIAL GAZETTE not deserve it.There were many besides the poet who had a catalorue of religi rules who did not live up to them.Tho fore, when considering Burn\u2019s faults they should think of their own discrep ancies.The sins of which the poet was guilty were mostly the sins of the flesh and not of the spirit.The poet was not without religious ideas, and if he failed to live up to them by reason of his reli- glous inclination, they should be merciful.But for the light of better days, how many ofthem might not have fallen as low as the poet did at times.Even as it was now, many of them now sank to rise no more.The speaker referred to the ideas of the period in which Burns wrote characterizing them as dogmatic in the highest degree.Burns had no Sympathy with this spirit and pointed out with caustic wit and bitter satire its fatal results upon the religious life of the people.For thisthe Pharisees of the day had paid him back and he found them as bitter as the Pharisees of the present day.Burns attacks were therefore, not against what was confounded with religion.The best evidence of the effect of these attacks was to be found in the churches of to-day.The speaker hers gave his impressions of the religious ideas of the age, remarking that it was a religion of the spirit, and remarked that no theologian, so called, had hada g much influence as Burns upon the thonghts of his countrymen.In closing, the speaker remarked that God's instruments were chosen without the gonsent of humanity, and although at first it held up its hands in wonder, it usu wondered.\u201d St.Catherine street.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 POINT ST.CHARLES NOTES.The Young People\u2019s Literary Association, in connection with St.Matthew's Church, Point St.Charles, is now in the addresses have already been given, and the programme for the year promises some very good ones still to come.night the subject was Music and Musicians.Mr.George Wilson gave a very interesting paper on Sacred Music, tracing the origin of that art from the Roman and Greek periods, when harmony was unknown, down to the present perfection of that department of music.He gave a very full description of Handel's * Messiah\u201d and Mendelssohn's \u201cSt.Paul,\u201d as fair samples of the higliest forms of sacred oratorio existing, and read short sketches from the lives of the most eminent composers who contributed to that style.He dealt with a very larze subject in as able a form as could be done in a short paper, and managed to condense a larze amount of generally valuable points in connection with them.Papers on the Theory of Music and the Secular Form were given by Mr.R.Wilsonand Mrs.Penk, with illustrations, and a very enjoyable time was spent.\u2014_\u2014 ST.BARTHOLOMEW'S CHURCH ENTER- .TAINMENT.The Concert held in the lecture hall of St.Bartholomew's Church last night under the auspices of the Young Pao- ples\u2019 Association of the church, was in every way an enjoyable success.The attendagce was very large, and the programme an excellent one.Mr.Dunbar Browne presided, and at the conclusion of the programme a novel and pleasing feature was introduced, each lady present receiving a useful gift.The following was the pleasing programme rendered during the evening :\u2014 Glee, Sweet as Low, Apollo Club;

and yet, although he met sundry friends who would have possibly been glad to join him, he did not care to ask them.Men are so coarse and unsympathetic unless they happen to be in the early stages of love's fever themselves, and then they are insupportably egotistic and selfish.In this plight Harry bethought him of his sisters ; they were staying with their mother at Folkestone.That was Mrs.Railton\u2019s favorite watering-place.She liked the stir of coming and going, and the feeling that any part of Europe was within reach, although she rarely went further afield.Then there were early associations connected with the neighbor- iig country, although Mr.Railton had sold Bloomfields long since.Thus, as soon as the tide served, Harry went on board, and set sail, while sonn the pier and promenade crowded with gaily dressed visitors, and the forlorn old castle on the cliff, with its sad and gone-by look, faded away in the distance.The wind was soft ana gentle, from the west, and the yacht ran pretty close along the low flat coast, where here and there an old church tower or coastguard station, with tall flagstaff, peered over the sandy shore.Then there was a long board out seawards, to weather the far-stretching point of Dungeness, where Lydd aud New Romney\u2014and old Romney, too, for that matter\u2014lie shrouded in the soft green marshes.Then they hugged the coast again, Harry and his crew of two men and a boy, as Hythe came into view,the old Cinque port, where no seaport is, but only shelving sands.Here is life again, with bathing-machines, and bright sunshades, and the crack of rifles and the tooting of bugle-horns from the school of musketry; but presently the sunshades are routed, and the fire of the soldiers silenced, by a driving shower ortwo.But the sun shines out again, smiling through weeping cloud-drifts; smiles on the red roofs of Hythe, and the grey church that towers above them; shines, too, on Saltwood\u2019s old castle on the wooded hills beyond, where once Archbishops held their guarded court, and yet which sheltered the murderers of the greatest Archbishop among them all Then are heard more bugle-calls, and the roll of drums, and softened in the distance, the inspiriting music of a military band, with the tramp of men, and with radiant points of sunlight on the dark lines of steel ; and so Shorncliffe Camp is passed, and petty Sandgate comesin view, nestling under brightly-clad heights.The breeze had fallen light again, and the little yacht veered slowly towards pleasant Folkestone, as the shades of evening fell.Everywlherc gleamed long lines of lights\u2014lights from the town, lights from the long rows of terraces on the heights, reflected on the placid sea; and with the dancing lights of yachts and pleasure-boats at anchor, and the red signal lights from the harbor mouth, gave a gay and festive aspect to the scene.Harry brought his yacht to her moorings, and rowed ashore.At the landing-place his sisters met him, having been on the lookout for the Unknown\u201d ever since they had received Harry's message that he was coming.\u201cCome with us, Harry, to see the French boat come in ; she is coming along now.\u201d And sure enough the triple lights of the steamer were in full view, with the glow of radiance from lighted saloons and cabins.Harry, always good-natured where his sisters were concerned, hurried down with thom to the railway pier, where tidal train was drawn up awaiting the steamer\u2019s arrival, the little Customhouse lighted ap, and everybody on the qui-vive.The boat glided in, and was safely moored, and the usual bustle of landing passengers and baggage began, \u201cThere is some one I know,\u201d said Har ry, as a tall, well-dressed woman came ashore with only a small travelling-case in her hand.i \u201c I have no other baggage,\u201d she said to the Custom-house officers.\u201c Nothing to declare\u2014cigars, tobacco?\u201d \u201c No, I don\u2019t smoke.\u201d # Spirits or liquors ?\u201d « No, I don\u2019t drink.Now I may pass?Thank you.\u201d It was Mrs.Barrington, but somewhat changed in manner, as it seemed to young Railton.There was an aspect of suppressed fierceness about her that he had not noticed before.Her sombre glance almost scared him, as it fell full upon him ; but he saluted her politely, and asked if he could be of any service to her.# Ah, I remember; you are young Railton.Thank you, no.Stay! When we met before, you noticed, perhaps, an ill-looking negro distributing tracts, Have you seen him since, or do you know anything about him?No?Then I won't detain you.\u201d Mrs.Barrington passed on, and made her way on foot towards the town.The girls began to exclaim as soon as she was out of earshot.* What an extraordinary woman |\u201d cried Blanche.\u201cIam snre she has the evil eye.\u201d While Ethel said that she resembled the malignant fairy who was left out of the christening arty.» Harry found that the obstinacy of his mother\u2019s will could never be shaken, All along he had been sure of that, and had regarded the diplomatipt\u2019s concessions 4s a virtual sentence of dismissal.An appeal to his father was useless, he felt, but still he made it.Mr.Railton was detained in town by business, but his son found him tolerably at leisure in his snug parlor at the family banking-house.Mr.Railton was strangely changed since the events which have been retrospectively recorded.A good-tempered, thoughtless fellow, with a strong enjoyment of all ti e pleasures of life, had been transformed into a serious, somewhat puritanic character, with a reputation for religious zeal and practical philanthropy.The change ought to have pleased Mis.Railton, but somehow it did not.\u201cHe loved that woman to perdition,\u201d she said to herself, \u201c and her death alone has brought this transformation.\u201d .Patiently Mr.Railton listened to his son's appeal.But he was not to be moved to take action in the matter.\u201cIf you can win over your mother,\u201d he said to his son, \u201cI shall not hold out, although Sir Athelstan and I can never be friends.\u201d Before the interview was ended, one of the chief cashiers of the bank came in and showed a certain draft to Mr.Rail- ton, who blauched little, but shook his head decisively.; \u201c No ; distinctly, no!\u201d he said to the THE MONTREAL HERALD AND DAILY COMMERCIAL GAZETTE, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1881.\u201cThe lady requests a private interview.\u201d Mr.Railton hesitated for a moment, -and then motioned to Harry to retire intoan adjoining room.Harry heard the key turned behind him ; but the room opened by another door into the general bank premises, and not caring to wait all alone, Harry went out and began a round of visits among the clerks, who were many ofthem old friends of his.They were fenced off from the public part of the bank by a ground-glass screen; but a door opening showed the counters, with a sprinkling of people waiting, while a lady at one of the desks was trying to cram a large bundle of notes into a small case.\u201cThat woman looked uncommonly like Mrs.Barrington,\u201d Harry said to himself ; but then his father called him, and naturally he did not venture to question him about the matter.CHAPTER VII, A SUMMONS FROM AFAR.Gifted with a strong and vigorous constitution, Sir Athelstan quickly recovered from the effects of his seizure, excepting for a certain dulness and languor.Vanyards was now filled with guests, for Sir Athelstan had invited his friends from far and wide to celebrate his housewarming.Edith was, of course, the subject of universal attention.If not yet technically come out, yet as the virtual mistress of the house she took her share in all the gaieties that were going.There were drives, picnics, excursions by land and sea, pilgrimages to ancient shrines, and visits to London theatres; dinner parties of the stately kind, balls and extempore diversions of all kinds.But all this was interrupted by the receipt of a letter from that tiresome old Marquis, who was the official guardian of the Sicilian estates, \u201c Excellency and Dear Friend,\u201d ran the letter\u2019 \u201cI am filled with wonder and dismay when 1 consider that you have taken no notice of my repeated advices.\u201d (\u201c Where are they ?\u201d asked Sir Athel- stan in wonder.) \u201cDo you not know that the 15th of October is the date fixed by the judgment of the Court, when, according to that judgement, the reputed daughter of Agatha di Chiosso is to be produced before the Court, and her identity fully established ?And not a word, not a line from you.I,too,am in a painful position.\u2018The Court holds me responsible for the yearly sum I have remitted to your ac- count\u2014{ifteen years at ten thousand lire a year, a hundred and fifty thousand lire \u2014far more than I have received for my custody of the estates, my unwearied diligence, my constant services.\u201d (\u201cThe lazy old beggar!\u201d said Sir Athel- stan.\u201cWhy, he never stirs from his favorite seat in his club at Palermo unless to be taken to opera or theatre, and duly brought back again !\u201d) \u201c But, my good friend, I have relied upon your honor to see you safe in this matter.Otherwise, I have had offers from the other side ; splendid offers, indeed, but I was too loyal tothe memory of my beloved though distant relative.Let me recapitulate, in case, by some direful chance, former letters have failed to reach you.\u201d \u201cIt is now about a year since there arrived in the commune of Chicsso an elderly man who called himself the Admiral.Admiral the Third, the country people name him, to distinguish him from his predecessors, whose memory is preserved \u2014I will not say cherished\u2014among my countrymen, He seems, indeed, to have held that rank in some distant nation.Now, be gives himself out as being the missing younger brother of Admiral the Second, and, tlicscfomo.an male af ane poor lost Agatha.Now there is no doubt that his claim as such to a share in his father\u2019s inheritance.is barred by pile- scription.But his attack is more dangerous.He asserts that the daughter of Milady Brook died when she was five years old, and that the young lady now reputed to be your daughter is a supposi- titious child.\u2018Grand blageur,\u2019 this man, you will say.But how if he produces a proces verbal, declared by the woman who was the author of the ruse?No doubt your justification will be complete, but bear in mind there is not an instant to lose.If our friend the Admiral gains hts first step and takes possession, we shall have all our business prepared to get him out.And, indeed, unless supported, I assure you I shall have to cap- 1tulate, and make terms with the cnemy.In hope that you are actually on the way by this time, I have despatched the steam yacht belonging to the estate, to await you at Malta, there to remain till the 14th October, after which date, I fear, your presence would be useless.Thus adjuring haste, haste, haste, I subscribe myself with a thousand salutations of the warmest description, ¢ Excellency, \u201c Your devoted Friend and Servant, \u2018 Dr Brazz.\u201d Sir Athelstan flew into a violent passion as he mastered the contents of this letter.\u201cThe vile impostor,\u201d he cried, \u201c I will take him by the beard and cut his head off I\u201d a threat which need not be taken literally, for Sir Athelstan would never have taken such an unfair advantage as to hold a man by the beard.But he was very indignant indeed, and especially wrathful that former letters had notbeen forwarded.Then it was brought home to him that he had given orders that Sicilian letters were not to be forwarded, and the Marquis\u2019s former letters were at last discovered in the housekeeper\u2019s store-room, where they had been placed for safety and forgotten.With guide books and Continental time-bills before him, it was made out that by catching the mail steamer at Marseilles, they would arrive at Malta more quickly than by any other route at present available ; indeed, in plenty of time to obey the summons of the Sicilian Court, and produce the lawful heiress of the estates to those incredulous of her existence.From this moment all was confusion at Vanyards.Guests took their departure, promising to renew their visit on the return of the family.All were engaged in packing, in hurried excursions to Folkestone to purchase this and the other.And Edith was obliged to write and pub off the*visit of her schoolfellows.\u201cThose three dear girls,\u201d she sighed.\u201c How disappointed they will be!\u201d All wasready in time, and the steamer that awaited the tidal train from London that evening had on board His Ex- {familiarly known as Aunt Zoo), his amiliar Robinson, with maids and menservants.Just as the last gangway was removed, a young man sprang on board, and his portmanteau was hurled after him.Another of those strange coincidences so frequent in real life.as Sir Athelstan sarcastically observed.Here was Harry Railton, who had abandoned his yacht to be laid up for the winter, and was about to start on a Mediterranean tour.\u2018Thank God he is here !\u201d said Robinson, who, perhaps, was not greatly surprised to see him.* There will be one darkness.\u201d CHAPTER VIIL A FLIGIIT TO THE MEDITERRANEAN.SICILY, ETNA.MALTA, cashier, who retired, but presently re-ap- peared, and said in a low voice : It was morning, early morning, the cellency the Envoy, the Envoy's daughter, his private secretary, his sister more to stand up against the powers of sun rising a golden ball over the purple sea, as the mail steamer glided sottly into the harbor of Valetta in the rocky isle of Malta.The smoke of the morning gun curled lazily away from a white fort, and the report thundered in deep reverberations from battlement to battlement, while fife and drum wakened the echoes in the stirring but often unwelcome reveille.The whole neighborhood seemed to wake from its lethargy in a moment at the advent of the big steamer; boats made towards her from all parts of the harbor, and a shoal of brown and naked little natives were wriggling in the deep water, trying to entice the passengers to throw them coins, and shouting as they came to the surface: \u201c For a dive! for a dive! There was a general turn-out of sleepy, yawning passengers upon the steamer\u2019s deck, and a steam-winch was puffing away, and the boxes, trunks, and porimanteaus of Sir Athelstan Brook and his party were swinging in mid-air, almost before the mooring-ropes were secured.There was a fierce rush to secure the baggage of the new arrivals ; porters and touts threw themselves bodily upon it.But a dark Italian, in blue linen garments and a cap with narrow gold band and wide-spreading top, advanced and waved the others away.\u201c My people !\u201d he said in a voice of authority ; and then, catching sight of Sir Athelstan : \u201cExcellency, Milord Brook\u2014 yas, all right\u2014these for Milord,\u201d handing a letter to the Knight.\u201cIt is from the Marquis,\u201d cried Sir Athelstan, having mastered the contents of the letter.\u201cThe Court is sitting at Syracuse, and we shall just be in time.How many hours\u2019 sail from here to Syracuse, Giacomo ?\u201d \u201c Excellency, barely ten,\u201d replied the steward.\u201c Everything isin readiness on board the steamer, and you have only to command.\u201d The voyage had been a pleasant one; indeed, delightful to two of the travellers.For Harry Railton was bound for Malta, like the rest.Was not his brother Jem stationed there, whom he was hungering to see?And the passage over summer seas, coasting Corsica and Sardinia, and hardly losing sight of land all the time, had been fruitful of opportunities of quiet love making; and with father and aunt on board, Harry could not justly be accused of breaking his parcle.Butnow the time of parting had arrived.Sir Athelstan was holding out his hand.\u201cWe shall miss you, Railton.Perhaps we may meet somewliere on our return.Edith, there is no time to lose.\u201d And with outward calmness the two must part, under the eye of day and among a staring crowd.But there was the warm and secret pressure of the hand which is known in the freemasonry of love.They were gone.Then it was that Harry remembered how the ostensible purpose of his coming to Malta was to see his brother, who commanded a gunboat on that station.Singling out a sailor in the white undress of the Royal Navy, he asked him if the \u201cSapphire\u201d was in port?No, the \u201cSapphire\u201d had gone to Naples with despatches.Here was loneliness! \u201cMr.Railton,\u201d sald a voice close at hand, \u201c don\u2019t turn your head, but listen, please.I am Robinson ; I think we are watched.There is a traitor in the party.I need not name him.Harm is intended to Miss Edith.We are going to a wild country\u2014no roads, no telegraph, no posts worth talking about.But it is useless to follow now.Remain here till you hear from me.If there is danger you will hear more swiftly, and von will do all YOU van.\u201c But how shall I hear ?\u201d asked Harry in perplexity.\u201c Go to the Passagio Monti; find Luigi Conti\u2014everybody knows him\u2014he deals in pigeons.Nov: Iam called.Remember.\u201d Soon the Isle of Malta became small in the distance\u2014a speck\u2014and then vanished below the horizon.The sea was perfectly calm ; yachts passed, some native craft with great lateen sails idly flapping against the masts ; or a trail of smokeon the horizon heralded the approach of some big steamer, making to or from the land of Egypt, and the Canal of Suez; for the vessel was crossing the track of the great watery highway of nations.Schools of dolphins disported on the surface of the deep, with backs so high out of the water, that the story of Arion seemed really not improbable, while others chaged the flying- fish that leapt from the sea for short flights into the air, and disappeared in rainbow showers of spray.Yes, it was a delicious voyage, and especially so to Edith, a little dazzled by her own sudden rise to importance\u2014a school-girl one day, a Princess the next\u2014 to whom the-world seemed almost too bright to be real.All would have been perfect, had the right somebody been by her side.As it was, young Barrington was not by any means disagreeable.His manner had changed, and in a way that flattered Edith's self-esteem.There was homage now in his voice and manner.and a respectful sympathy that invited confidence.! Before nightfall the steamer was in sight of Cape Passaro, but as soon as darkness came on, the padrone anchored for the night.There was a gentle breeze off shore, and the quiet, sleepy sounds from the land, the tinkling of bells, and bleating of cattle, with the fragrance of the orange-groves, and wandering lights here and there, excited the indefinite curiosity that arises in coming to a strange land.Then as the sun rose, the coast was in full view, the hilltops tinged with rosy light, and far away in the distance, one glowing peak.It was Mount Etna, from which rose a slender wreath of smoke, the breath of the sleeping volcano.As the day opened fair and beautiful, the coast along which the steamer was running close, shone forth in every varied hue.Charming ravines opened out upon the shore, where limpid streams glided over the enamelled strand ; orange groves glowed with their golden fruit, tall date-palms waved their plumes, olive trees clothed the hill sides with tawny by the wayside; white houses shone forth from a dark background of cypress and mountain pines, But the party had not occasion to land at Syracuse.A little boat put off from the harbor; it contained the Marquis di- Brazzi and the Registrar of the Court.To save His Excellency trouble, the Registrar would make formal entry of the appearance of the minor and her guardian, on board the yacht; and they would both, Marquis and Greffier, take a passage to Palermo, where the case would finally be heard.Thus they sailed along the coast in leisurely fashion, stopping at Catania for Etna, where all were full of the great eruption of a few months before.Then there was the passage through the lovely Straits of Messina, with the mountains of Calabria on one hand, and the beautiful hills of Sicily on the other.They looked out for the Fata Morgana, but had never a glimpse of it, and they sailed between Seylla and Charybdis without any remarkable adventure.At Messina they were feted, and made much of, and set sail with many promises to resurn and partake of even more extended hospitality, And then, green ; the cactus and the aloe bloomed\u2019 among fairy-like islets, and rocks carpeted with every kind of flower, they coasted along till Palermo came in sight, à fair white city in her golden shell, the lips of which are gardens, groves, and plantations of indescribable richness and color.And above the city frowns the mighty mass of Pellegrino, on whose scarped and inaccessible heights, Hamilcar Barca set the Romans and all their legions at defiance year after year.At Palermo, there was more visiting, especially, by the Marquis\u2019s express injunctions, among the functionaries of the aw.That was indispensable ; the most righteous cause could not be sustained without the good-will of the administrators of the law ; and was it to be expected they would give that good-will unasked?And Edith speedily had the whole bench on her side.All were eager to serve her.And yet \u2014\u2018 Settle with the enemy,\u201d whispered a high functionary in Sir Athelstan\u2019s ear, one day at parting.\u201c Decidedly, we must beard the lion in his den,\u201d said Sir Athelstan.\u201cThe old impostor we have come to unmask is lurking inthe mountains,they say, and distributing pilks of dollars among the Maffia.We shall hear of him presently as in possession of your mountain castle, Edith.We must be there before him.\u201d And the mountains looked so beautiful, the volutes of \u201che golden shell, 2nd seemed to say, \u201c Come and climb us.\u201d And so, one day, a cavalcade set out, horsemen and horsewonen, with the baggage loaded upon mules, and before and behind an escort of nounted carabineers, who kept a sharp look-out to right and left.For the Maffis had been busy lately, and brigandage was rife, and the young people of half-adozen communes, rather than join the army in their turn, had taken to the hills; and in the very centre of the most disturbed districts lay the Castle of Chicsso, the home of Edith's forefathers, Thus it was along and well- armed tram that rode forth that summer morning from Palermo\u2014picturesqug, too, on the wiple.But everybody laughed at Robinspn, who was perched on the back of a mule, with a hamper in front of him, which he would entrust to no human erpature.The hamper contained neither wine nor creature comforts\u2014only three lovdy carrier pigeons.| (TO BE CONTINUED.) -\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 DR.DE JONGH'S LIGHT-BROWN COD LIVER OIL.IN ConsumrTioN 11s Erricacy 18 Ux- EQUALLED, Dr.Sinclair Coghill, Physician to the Royal National Hospital for Consumption, Ventnor, writes :\u2014*\u201c Ihave convinced myself that in Tubercular and the various forms of Strumous Disease, Dr.de Jongh\u2019s Light-Brown Cod Liver Oil possesses greater therapeutic efficacy than any other Ced Liver Oil with which I am acquainted.Dr.de Jongh's Oilis now the only Cod Liver Oil used in the Royal Natimal Hospital for Consum tion and Diseases of the Chest.\u201d Sold only in capsuled Imperial Half-pints, pints and quarts by all druggists.Sole Consignees, Ansa, Harford and Co., 210 High Holborn, London.Agents at Montreal, Evans, Sons & Mason, limited.a THE PHARTOM BEAR.(H.H.Boyesen in St.Nicholas.)

those of a barefooted man, or, I should rather say, perhaps, a man-footed bear.The Prince was just turning the corner of a project ing rock, when he saw a huge, shaggy beast standing on its hind legs, examin ing in a leisurely manner the inside of a hollow tree, while a swarm of bees were buzzing about its ears.It was just hauling out a haudful of honey, anc was smiling with a grew- some mirth, when his Royal Highness sent a bullet right in the breast, where its heart must have been\u2014if it had one.But, instead of falling down flat, as it ought to heve done out of deference to the

Mich.,, December 9.\u2014Judge Chauncey Joslin, of the Monroe County Circuit Court, has pleased the Bar by the vigorous manner in which he has cleared the docket.They wished to show their appreciation, and prepared a set of resolutions, which were handsomely engrossed ~ and framed, and which were tb be presented to the judge in court to-day, together with a gold-hegded cane.The judge was taken by surprise, but before he got through he turned the tables on the members of the bar, who were a terribly discomäted lot ofmen.He told them that they had better sell the cane and give the money to the poor ; that he did notthiuk they should give presents to a man for trying to do his duty, and if the tried to give it to him they would wish they had not.The bar retired from the court-room in good order, and talk of putting up the cane and resolutions, together with six well-thumbed speeches, for sale to the highest bidder.Judge Joslyn is a gentleman of the old school.In his

situation as it exists to-day throughout the country, the conclusion must inevitably be reached that the National game is rapidly ap- proachng a general smash-up all along the line, and the smaller cities will be found tie deepest in the ruins.It becomes the watchman on the tower\u2014name lv, the oublie press, to at once sound the note 5t alarm throughout the land Baseball is now running under altogether too high a pressure.The gait is altogether too fast for the smaller cities to survive.Cities of less than 100,000 inhabitants are competing against New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and

Yesterday.Detective J.C.Maxwell Gives His Evidence.Another Interview With the Official Strangers.The sensation, resulting out of the arrest on Saturday afternoon of Detectives Fahey, Naegele and Constable Bureau is rapidly on the decline, and now, instead of expressions of astonishment, there are many who say \u201c I told vou so\u201d; There were nonew develop ments of a startling nature, in the happenings yesterday, no new arrests were made, and, as the police and others interested are so reticent it was impossible to ascertain if further arrests were anticipated.+ Of course there were rumors of a more or less startling nature, none of which, however, could be traced to a reliablesource.The one thing that impressed the reporter more than anything else was the cloak of secrecy and mystery the G.T.R.officials and lawyers engaged in the case are endeavoring to throw over the proceedings before the Police Magistrate.THE PRISONERS ARRIVE.The same crowd of sightseers gathered at the Court House at an early hour yesterday morning, to await the arrival of the prisoners.The comment of the press has apparently done good service, as on Monday night the accused were placed in different wards in the jail and all intercourse between them stopped.The hack containing the acccused arrived at the Court House at 9.45 o'clock, and when the prisoners stepped forth it was seen that a change had been made.Fahey and Bureau were now found handcuffed together, while Naegele wore the bracelets alone.CONFINEMENT WILL TELL.The confinement and the mental strain are beginning to tell upon the three men.Naegele has been a great sufferer for many years from a severe asthmatic affection, and a Court official observed yesterday morning that a doctor had not Jong since told the ex-detective that his days were as good as numbered.Naegele observed to a friend on the day of his arrest that he would die before the cases reached the Qneen\u2019s Bench.The men hurriedly walked through the the passages in the Court House and entered the grand jury room, where the examination was resumed at 10.20 o'clock.The first witness examined was Mr.Elliott, of the G.T.R.His evidence went to show the amount of money supposed to be in the stolen bags, and other circumstances in regard to the safe and strong room from which the cash had been stolen.Although unimportant\u2019 the examination of this witness occupied Newly We whole of the morning and lis cross examination by Mr.Globensky was only concluded at noon, when the Magistrate adjourned the inguiry until two o'clock.DEPUTY CHIEF NAEGELE'S STORY, While waiting for the inquiry to resume, the HeraLD reporter in company with others visited the Police Office, where Deputy Chief Naegele, father of one of the accused, told the following story :\u2014 \u201cMy son, being married, does not live with me, but if he had I would have soon discovered if there were any irregularities about his business.I am certain that his wife knew nothing about what was going on, if these charges are true, and I can say the same for my daughter, Mrs.Fahey.She would not hesitate in immediately informing me if anything was wrong.The wives of both had no cause to suspect anything because their husbands were out at night, as that was only customary with all detectives, and naturally Mrs.Fahey and Mrs.Naercle would suppose that they were hunting after a case, doing their duty faithfully.My boy only visited me about once a month and then would remain for a few moments only.During the week he would draw a few dollars and very seldom received full pay on Saturday.\u201d The old gentleman said nothing about the case or what he thought of it.INQUIRY RESUMED, At 2.10 precisely the investigation was resumed, when Mr.J.C.Maxwell, chief detective of Chicago and Grand Trunk Railway, was called.He was frequently interrupted by counsel for the accused, and during the afternoon did not finish his testimony, but the following is his evidence in briéf: \u201c My name is J.C.Maxwell, Chief Detective of the Chicago and Grand Trunk Railways.My duties are in connection with that portion of the road inthe United States.My headquarters are in Chicago.About two weeks after the robbery at the Bonaventure depot I received a communication from the man who is known as Frank Wilson, at present a detective in the employ of our company under my directions.The letter related all particulars of the robbery, and further stated that the game was big and difficult to manage, but he Wilson thought the had the gang \u201cdead to rights.\u201d It further stated that the men in the swim were a sharp crowd and that we must exercise great precautions in bringing them to justice.I wrote in reply asking Wilson to come to Chicago so that we could devise a plan to bring them to justice.I received no other letter but a few days later Wilson arrived in Chicago and immediately communicating with me unfolded the full details of the robbery._By my direction Wilson went jo New York, whence he opened a corr pond- ence with one of the accused.The first letter which Mr.Flynn has in his possession said that there were several big jobson hand, and asked that a skilful \u201c cracksman\u201d be sent to Montreal to assist them in these jobs, In response to this letter I came on \"and bore a letter from Wilson introducing me as Craig the \u201ckid\u201d I met the accused and was questioned by them pretty closely., It was now past four o'clock and the Investigation was adjourned until 10 a.m.to-day.BACK TO JAIL, Tlie same scenes were now witnessed ag on the first day of the investigation.Anxious crowds filled the square in front of the Cours House tu witness tie departure of the prisoners.As they emerged handcuffed in the same order as in the morning, an over eager newspaper man, who was foremost in the crowd, made a desperate attempt to interview Fahey, Said he: \u201cFahey don\u2019t you want to make a statement ?\u201d manded for eight days.Fahey, as he was hurried along: \u201cNo.4\u2018 Lents MO VOL VAL so Tete ae ie te re Mn re SE \u2014 Ewe am ea DECEMBER 14, 1881.ÿ sou get my version of this affair hae see that we will come out all right.\u201d pack in .The prisoners then entered the hack 1 waiting, and, in charge of Mr.Champagne, were driven off to the jail.A SAD SCENE during the afternoon was to see the a parently heart-broken wife of Constable Bureau, dressed in deep mourning and With tear-stained face, waiting in the corridor of the Court House to get a word ith her husband.avn v Although the officials of the Balmoral Hotel, acting, no doubt, on instructions, did all in their power to prevent visitors, Tae HERALD man managed to obtain a few words with Messrs.Flynn and Maxwell.They were both very reticent, and stated there was nothing new in the case, but, from their words, it is thought that at least one other arrest will be made to-day.lft AMUSEMENTS.Academy of Music.A large and fashionable audience filled the Academy last evening, the occasion being the second performance of the well known drama entitled The Two Orphans, hy the Merchants\u2019 Clerks\u2019 Tnion, under the distinguished patronge of the Marianne.La Frochar Sceur Genevieve.Florette.\u2026.\u2026\u2026\u2026.20anes sronsarune Mireille Julie.ovine eee Anna C.The costumes were most elaborate,and the whole cast acquitted themselves in a very creditable manner.Especial mention may be given to Mr.J.B.Tremblay as Pierre Frochard, A.Ratel as Le Comte de Linire, Mr.Gaillard as Le Marquis de Presles, and Mr.Rene Ravaux as Picurd, who performed in a uery pleasing style.Amongst the ladies who distinguished themselves are Mesdames P.Larcher as Le Comtess de Liniere, doing justice to her part, Mde.C.Miraglia as Henriette, and Mde.V.Marcus as LA Frochard.The proceeds of these two concerts will, we are sure, be a great benefit to the treasury of the Merchants\u2019 Clerks Union.This association propose giving another similar entertainment on the 3rd of January next, which will, no doubt, be looked forward gto with much pleasure.Theatre Royal.KERNELL'S SPECIALTY COMPANY.Large audiences attended both performances at the Theatre Royal yesterday to enjoy the excellent programme of music and fun dispensed by the Kernell\u2019s Specialty Company.The company is first class in every respect and fully worthy of liberal patronage.Metropolitan Dramatie Company.The Metropolitan Dramatic Company of this city intend producing the romantic drama entitled, \u201c Time and the Hour,\u201d by Paul Graves Simpson, at Huntingdon, on the 22nd instant.Therehearsalsshowed that all concerned are well upin their respective parts and the entertainment is sure to be successful.St.James the Apostle\u2019s Concert.The concert given Monday night inthe school room of the Church of St.James the apostle proved a great success.The young amateur Mr.Fred.T.Rabbitts in his soliloque of King Claudius was liked immensely, and would have done credit to the profession he is now studying for.Creche Concert.The concert in aid of the Creche, under the management of Miss Florence H.Laeb, was given in the Victoria Rifles Armoury last evening to a large audience.The programme was a very good one, consisting of selections from Willard, Arditi, Bach, Parry, Tito, Mattei, Chopin and Schumann.Miss Rubenstein gave two songs, one from \u201cMasaniello\u201d and the other \u201c Che Gioja,\u201d by Mattei.Her voice was, perhaps, never heard to better advantage, or her vocalization so perfect, and she won for herself quite an ovation of applause.Miss Blanche Loeb performed a violin solo by Wieniawski.This little artist is too well known and appreciated to require an introduction.Mr.V enables was in excellent voice and sang \u201cTrusting\u201d to the satisfaction of his audience.His duet with Mr.Millar, \u201c Flow Gently Deva,\u201d was also much liked.Miss Clarke played the Tannhauser March very well, and Mr.Neil Warner was much applauded in his reading, \u201cThe Organ Builder.\u201d Altogether the concert was very enjoyable and apparently a financial success.\u2014_\u2014 THE MOUNT ROYAL CEMETERY
