Srr,—There appeared a letter in the ‘Daily Patriot” of the 12th inst. over the signature of ‘Charles Harts; and as there have been s>me persons strongly reproving me for writ- ing the said letter and for the abusive style of it, I deny having anything to do with it pro or con. It is really a forgery.

Sir,—Being in Sydney, C. B., the other day, when one of our most promising young sea Captains, was lying dead at the Marine Hospital; and when I heard the sad tale of his death I came to the conclusion that there was something wrong somewhere. The young man in question being unwell, called upon a physician; and, after waiting for some time, was ushered into the presence of a man with more shirt collar than brains. The interview proved very unsatisfactory, inasmuch as the young man was toid there was nothing the matter with him. The young man then went to the Hospital, and when taken bad, desired his father to be telegraphed for. ‘The tele- graph was writtea out, but not sent; and it was not until after the death of the young man that the poor, sorrow stricken father heard of the sad news. When the father ar- rived in Sidney he made inquiries as to the death of his son, but his labors were fruit- lessly rewarded. He could gain no informa- tion whatever concerning his son’s death; and the poor father had to bury his son and return home.

Surely, Mr. Editor, this is a sad state of affairs; when young men who are taken sick away from home, in a Christian country, are left to die without proper care afd attention. I think, Mr. Editor, that the Domirion Gov- ernment are greatly to blame in this respect, for they should see that the public Hospitals in the Dominion are provided with competent nurses and doctors.

Yours truly, A SEA CaAprTarn.

To the Editor of the Examiner:

Srr,—The last ‘‘ Argus” contains, what we may suppose is meant for some official confes- sion of the inefficiency of the foundation of the new Asylum now being erected.

The late hue and cry, and consequent ex- posure of the jobbery, so apparant on face ot the whole transaction, has, after all, been pro- ductive of very slight results. The newly ap- pointed Inspector is nothing more nor less than a pliant and willing tool in the hands of his unscrupulous employers. Will a little patchwork make the condemned work appear good and sufficient? Of course their ready ready tool agrees it will. Will a sufficiency of mortar hide away glaring defects in the ill- constructed — The pliant tool set- onds the motion, and is ready to swear to its efficiency by the life of his td Hence we are led to suppose that the Government, in de- fiance of the unequivocal expression of public opinion, continue to think a shaking founda- tion good enough for the unfortunate tenants who are destined to inhabit the superstructure.

As for the contractors making good the con- demned work, and not charging for the extra amount of labor, it is all bosh, and will, like the botched work, be plastered over, paid and accounted for under the mystic heading of ** contingencies.”

The Dominion has its steel rail scandal, &c., &c.; and our potato patch is not far behind, for it has its oppressive, uaequal, and ill-ar- ranged Assessment Act, and also its rickety Asylum foundation jobbery.

Yes, we can boast a notable thing, —

A scheming Government led by a ring.

Yours, &c., On-LOOKER,

The Eastern Question.

(Special Despateh to Examiner. ) MonTREAL, June 12.

The workingmen’s strike in Quebec, which has for some days been increasing in strength, culminated to day in a terrible riot and loss of hfe. A mob of about two thousand, with the Commmunistic fflag, paraded the streets of the capital, searching for the contractors of the Parliament Building, and, not finding them, they made an attempt on Peters’ Work- shops, when the military was called out. The artillery, not being accompanied by a magis

trate, and being therefore unable to fire, was |

obliged to retreat—several men being struck by the mob. The rioters then broke into Re- naud’s store and stole all his tlour—several thousand dollars worth.

SECOND DESPATCH.

The military have been called out, and ap- peared on the spot with the Mayor at their head. The Riot Act having been read, and the rioters refusing to disperse, the order was given to fire. The military at first used blank cartridge, but this only imereased the mob. The riotous demonstrations growing fiercer, ball cartridges were used, and at the first vol- ley one man, name unknown, was killed, and others wounded, some fatally.
