| Lord Dafferin, in which he enjoined him to remember him to all his Canada friends. In regard to Lord Lorne he referred to the speeches he had been making in the Old Country on Canada as an evidence of his interest in the Dominion. He referred to the visit he paid to Niagra Falls. It was one of the most impressive sights human eye could contemplate. Speaking of the relations between the Dominion and the Mother Land, he said the reason not far tu seek was because they knew and under- stood each other better now than they had in years past other causes there were in the shape of emigration to make Canada better known in Britain. Refer- ring to Confederation he hoped that the Australian Colonies would meet with the happy fate to succeed in accomplishing with as much dignity, statesmanship and skill as had been displayed in forming the Dominion of Canada.

‘Celtic’

The Depending on Her

Sails.

Loxvon, Jan. 11.

Four passengers from the ‘‘Celtic’ were landed at Falmouth to-day by the steamer ‘*Argosy.’’ They report the ‘‘Celtic’’ pro- ceeding on her voyage under sail. They say the ‘‘Celtic” has refused to be towed by the ‘‘Argosy” and other steam ships, and only asked to be reported ‘‘all well.” As the ‘‘Argosy” could only take four of the passengers there was much excitement among business men whose time was valu- able, and lots were drawn fur the coveted berths. Two of the fortunate four sold out their places to the highest bidders It is thought the ‘‘Celtic’ will complete her voy- age all right, though she is considerably damaged by the gale by which she was disabled.

New Brunswick's

dustries. | The censs tell us, if itean be depended upou, that there were in New Brunswick in 1851, 478 saw mills, employing 7,175 men, | to Whom was paid $4,305,735 in wages, and that the production of the mil!s was» worth $6,532,826, If these ficures are right they give an approximation of the value of the lumber trade of New Brunswick. Of this six and a half millions of money laboring men and farmers receive by far the greater portion. The raw material or the logs as they stand in the woods, costing, say a half a million dollars. The six millions re- presents libor But we have not yet reached the grand total, for we have not taken into consideration the wages of the men who take the lumber from the mills and load it on the ships, or the wages of the seamen or the earnings of New Brunswick ships. The magnitude of the industry grows upon one the more it is contemplated. Its ramifications extend everywhere. It seems to be the prop and mainstay of every business; anil we no longer wonder why every man’s face lights up, when he is told that there is a prospect for a rise in the price of deals in the spring.

The Toronto Globe reports that Mr. Thomas Burt, the well-known member of the British House of Commons, paid a short visit to this country and the States during the past summer, and has given his impressions of both, but especially of the States, in a short series of communications to the Pall Mall Gazette. As was natural, he was much among the workingmen, and made himself as familiar as possible with tieir materia! condition, and with the feel- ings and aspirations generally prevalent among them. ‘The miners in the States, in whom Mr. B. is specially interested, earn, he found, the average wage of from two to two and a half dollars a day, while ordinary laborers, he says, get from a dollar and a quarter to a dollar and a half. As a _ general thing Mr. B. comes to the conclusion that living in the States is more costly than in Britain, while the wages of both skilled and unskilled labor there have such a downward tendency that it may become more and more doabtful whether the average work- ingiran is not a good deal more comfortable on the other side of the Atlantic than on thir, The ‘‘truck system,” it seems, though illegal, flourishes very widely in the States, to the great injury of the workingman. In the mining villages, we are told, there are scarcely any Mechanics’ Iustitutes or libra- ries. The life led is much more of a mere animal one than in Englard. “UWP 2. - ——-- A Reviapte WinpraLy.—Several months ago, an English firm of solicitors had exhausted every means they thought of, to find heirs to alarge sum, the management of which had been entrusted to their hands. To make a long story short, somebody suggested that an advertisement should be sent to a Halifax paper, which was done, and it duly appeared, asking information of one John Cormack and stating there was something to be heard of to his advantage. John Cormack. an engineer of that city seemed to fill the bill. He com- municated with the lawyers, forwarded proofs of his identity, and has received intelli- gence that a sum of money amounting to about $70,000 is now available for distribution among himeelf and his brothers and sisters, of which John’s share will be in the neighbor- hood of 10,000, and it is believed that there will likely be more to come, It is from the estate of a deceased uncle, the direct heirship to which had unexpectedly fallen through. Mr. Cormack has been working for many years on Cunard and other steamers at Halifax, He was also a regident of St. John, for some years. — Telegraph, i ee

Pickwick’s words are always sensible :— ‘Ven you're a married man, Samivel, you'll understand a good many things as you don’t understand now; but wether it’s worth while going through so much to learn so little, as the charity boy said ven he got tothe end of the alphabet, is a matter o’ taste.
