LICEN H ighes, of Ottawa, in the letter, (bearing date December 30th) the arrival of which has been delay- ed, says: ** Xmas passed off very quietly in the capital. No accidents, no riots, quarrels or murders ag was unhappily the case to an alarming extent across the border, aad but one solitary arrest for the eommon offence of drinking. On Friday morning but one case awaited the coming of H's Honor, which must be considered a good record where scores of high license houses were open in a city of forty five thousand people, who have not the saving qualities of the Scott Act to secure sobriety By the way, can Charlottetown, being situated in a Scott Act province, and being itself protected by that system, boast of a better record than O:tawa can? If so, matn- tain your present system, if not, change it, and adopt ours on the 8 h January.” ———

CIAL Desparcues To Tur EXAMINER. Biaine’s Latest Contention. }

Orrawa, Jan. 6, The contentions put forward by Blaine

in his latest diseussion of the Behring Sea matter are a current topic in official circles here. In his extremity he adduces one or two points never raised before, and which ! are of little value in the light of the facts. His citation of the pearl fisheries of Ceylon as a precedent is rendered as useless by the fact that Britain has never attempted to in- foreigners In like manner, the statute of George LIL. in reference to St. Helena only applies to British vessels com- ing within eight leagues of that Island. If Britain rea!ly exercised her power to eX- clude foreigners at the time of Bonaparte’s } exile, she did it as a measure of war and with the consent of the great aliied powers. seiaiiieciligiilitiappe
