CHARLO ‘ETOWN, PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 22,

The New Cabinet.

( From the Sui, St. John, N. Lb.)

Of course the leading figures in the Cabi- net, in public estimation, are Sir John McDonald and Hon. Messrs. Tilley, Tup- per, Masson, Langevin and Campbell. Each of these gentlemen has had long ex- perience in departmental and parliamentary work, and all bring to the service of the Government great resvurces in political and official knowledge and debating power.

The other members of the Administra- tion, with few exceptions, although not so well known to Canadians generally as those we have named, will be found valuable aids to Sir John McDonald in the management of their departments.

Hon. James McDonald, who has been selected for Minister of Justice, occupied a front rank in Nova Scotia as a depart- mental officer, while his appearance in the Commons, though all to brief, sufticientiy attested to his qualities as a debater and parliamentarian.

Hon. J. H. Pope, of Compton, is regard- ed as a most industrious, energetic and practical head of a department, and is en- tirely at home in his old Department of Agriculture and Statistics.

Hon. J. C. Pope, of Prince Edward Island, is a gentleman of unbounded reso- lution and energy, and probably the ablest business man the Island has produced. To whatever department he may be assigned, we may expect to hear of Mr. Pope fulfill- ing its duties with entire satisfaction to the public and credit to himself.

In Hon. McKenzie Bowell the Govern- ment receive the aid of one who has had a journalistic and political training which ad- mirably qualifies him for aiding Sir John in conducting the affairs of the country generally, as well as discharging the duties of an important department.

Senator Aikens, like Senator Campbell, brings to the service of the Government a ripe experience in the management of pub- lic matters. Asan influential member of the old Reform Party, and a co-worker with Messrs. McDougal!, Howland and the rest in the original coalition with Sir John McDonald, when Confederation was con- summated, Mr. Aikens had strong cla:ms on the now victorious Liberal-Conserva- tives, whose cause he has sustained through- out,

—_-

Canada.

As a railroad power, Canada is ahead of a great many of the States of Europe—all, in fact, except Great Britain, Germany, Russia, France, and Austro-Hungary. Its mileage is more than half that of Russia, three-fifths that of Austria, and about half that of France. It is equal to that of Brit- ish India. In population the Dominion is already in advance of Portugal, Roumania, Holland, Switzerland, Denmark, Greece, Peru, Columbia, Bolivia, Venezuela and the Argentine Confederation. The British Empire comes second in population of the powers of the world, China only exceeding it in this respect. Russia is next, and Germany, the United States, France, Aus- tria- Hungary, Turkey, Japan, Italy, Egypt, Spain, Siam, Brazil, Mexico, Sweden and Norway, Belgium and Persia follow in the order in which they stand. In area the

Russian Empire takes the lead, the British coming next. The Chinese Empire, the United States, Brazil, Turkey, Egypt, Mexico, Persia, Argentine Confederation, Peru, Bolivia, &c., follow, as named. The rank which Canada is destined ultimately to hold among the nations of the earth may be conjectured from a consideration of its great extent, its resources, constitution, people and present advantages.

Tue New Bishop or Montrear.—lIt is stated that Dean Bond has been elected Anglican Bishop of Montreal. Out of a total clerical vote of 84, Dean Bond ob- tained 52, Bishop Mackay 16, Rev. George Venables 3, Archdeacon Hanna 2, and Principal Lobley 1 ; of 78 lay parish votes, Dean Bond obtained 49, Bishop Mackay 13, Rev. George Venables 7, Canon Lindsay 1, and eight votes were lost. The announce- ment, it appears, was received with im- mense applause, and crowds rushed to the platform to congratulate him on the result. After the excitement had subsided the newly-elected Bishop requested those pres- ent to kneel down and join in silent prayer in his behalf, to assist him to worthily per- form the duties of the position to which he had been elected by the vote of the diocese. The proceedings concluded with the dox- ology.

The funds of the City Charities in the city of London exceed $500,000 a year, and as it is a city of offices and not of residents there are scarcely any poor to relieve, so the funds are spent in festivities and testi- monials, or applied to the reduction of the poor rate—i. e. (the owners of the property being wealthy,) are used in relieving the rich. St. Edmund the King has one hun- dred and fifty-three residents and a chari- table income of 15,000 a year; St. Law- rence, Jewry, has ninety residents and $15,- 000 a year; St. Mildred’s has 24,000 a year, of which (there being no poor) a quarter goes for breakfasts. and dinners and 33,000 is applied to reducing the poor rate. They tell of the pastor of these churches who found that his congregation one Sunday morning consisted of one old woman. ‘* Give her a shilling and send her home,” he said to the clerk, and no service was

~

held.

Misestaneous News.

Gotp discoveries have been made in Southern Chil.

Garibaldi will, perhaps, be a man of com- fortable fortune, after all. He has sold to acompany the privilege of quarrying granite

'on the Island of Caprera to pave the streets

of Rome.

We learn that the Conservative party in West Hastings have determined to contest the seat of Mr. James Brown. Many evi- dences of gross corruption are in their pos- session. —Mail.

Latest returns to the Department of Agri- culture gives the average of the cotton crop of the United States at‘90 per cent. The out-turn of the whole crop promises upward of $5,000,000 bales.

A revival is in progress in Virginia, at the Crab Bottom camp meeting. A ‘‘noted infidel” (Calhoun),who was selling his works on the camp ground, was converted amid the shouts of myriads of glad hearts.

The glut of cotton goods in Lancashire is so unprecedented that a great number of the mills have ceased running, and the great cotton firm of Horrocks, Miller & Co. has been compelled to restrict production.

A Portland, Me., business man declares that during a single week he has seen car-

rels and 7 kegs of beer, a liquid which, ac- cording to the temperance men, is not con- sumed in the State.

The richest heiress in America is said to be Miss Celeste Winans, daughter of the late Thomas Winans, of Baltimore. The young lady is but twerty years of age, and is, as she was before she received the for- tune of $20,000,000 inherited from her fa- ther, a very handsome girl.

The young Duke of Norfolk is ground landlord of nearly all Sheffield, the home of cutlery, and has a place called Sheffield farm in the neighborhood. In honor of his marriage he gave last week a magnificent ball there to 600 guests. When the leases fall in, his income from Sheffield will’ex- ceed $1,500,000,

Tue Grand River Sachem says :—‘‘ We have arrived at that period in the history of Canadian developmont, when mere y names have ceased to exercise any ¢ or influence over the most intelligent and influential classes of the people, and when Governments will be judged, not by what they profess, but by what they do or fail to do.”

The shipment of fresh meat from New York to England, which was an experiment —and, for various reasons, not wholly a successful one—last season, has apparently become a regular business. Steamers which departed for British ports on Satur- day, took more than half a million pounds of meat, besides a considerable number of cattle and sheep.

In 1862 a young man of Bastrop, Texas, enlisted in the Union Army, leaving behind him his sweetheart, a beautiful girl of six- teen. No letters came from thim after Chancellorsville, but two weeks ago he re- turned, after many adventures in foreign lands, claimed the hand of the lady, who had remained faithful to his memory, ard was quietly married to her.

The latest addition to the British navy is the Polyphemus, which seems to be constructed on the model of the turtle. When afloat nothing will be seen of her except an arched steel back, impervious to artillery. This monster will be provided with a ram and with all kinds of appliances for the discharge of submarine torpedoes. She will have no masts but will be driven at a great rate by twin screws.

Sunpay Scuoors in Canapa.—At the Sunday School Convention in Peterboro’, the following statistics were reported :— Number of schools in Ontario, 3,833 ; teachers and officers, 27,933; scholars, 231,- 155 ; number of Sunday schools in Quebec, 287 ; teachers and ofticers, 4,260 ; scholars, 28,388 ; number of schools in Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick, 1,020 ; teachers and officers, 8,230 ; schol- ars, 77,500 ; number of schools in Manito- ba, 50; teachers and officers, 270 ; scholars, 2,950.

It is said that Dean Stanley will visit the Marquis of Lorne at Ottawa before he returns to Eogland. He has acknowledged that his trip over the continent has, so far, been very pleasing, and he has been very much gratified with the attention which he has received. One peculiarity of the cities on this side of the Atlantic, he thinks is very striking, and that is that each city has a distinctive character- istic that belongs to itself ; as the faces of men differ, so do the American towns. This fact, he said, is pleasing, and increases the interest of the foreigner, who could make each citya sort of study.

Sourn Australia has certainly a good deal of ‘‘ go-aheadativeness” about it. It has become already a large wheat and flour ex- porter, and being quite alive to the value of labor-saving machinery, the Local Gove ernment now advertises for the best ma- chine combining within itself the various operations at the same time of reaping and cleaning, fit for bagging on the field, the various cereal crops ot the colony. As $208 000 will be paid for such a machine, an ap- propriation for that purpose being at the disposal of the Commissioner of Crown Lands. The inventive genius of both con- tinents is already trying to work out the problem set. We shall be glad to learn that

some Canadian has solved it. Why not?
