, the parish of St. Lonis, Kamouraska, Qac- |

ibee, by two gentlemen named McDonald

jand Roget. St. Louis has been selected :ior the site of the establishment on account

jof the recent discovery in that neighbor- | hood of rich deposits or beds of silica suited to that indnstry. It is expected that | operations w.'l be cominenced in the month of May.

iresults of the National Policy are beginning to be developed. During the past week a nuinber of Montreal brokers have been in town making enquiries as to the terms and conditions on which sugars can be pur- chased in this market, and the general opinion seems to be that they can be pur- chased here more favorably than in New York, where purchasers have been prin- cipally made hitherto. If we can supply ihe trade of the Upper Provinces even in this article alone, it must have a very beneficial effect on the trade of the port.” RECIPROCITY.

The New York Clothier an? Hatter for April publishes the new Canadian duties on clothing, cloths, hats, etc., and after ap- proving of the policy of the Government, says: ‘‘ To reciprocity we must look for the development of a better trade between the two countries. With areciprocal treaty our manufacturers who have been sending annually over $509,000 worth of hats, and $150,000 worth of made-up wearing apparel into Canada, may cohtinue to enlarge their trade with the Dominion. Without such a treaty, the trade will dwindle to insignifi- cant proportions.”

MR. CARTWRIGHT’S REMARKS.

The Opposition platform as formulated by Mr. Cartwright seemed to consist of the following points :— ‘‘ First, that the tariff will oppress the poor man; second, that it will oppress the lower Provinces; third, that it will be condemned in England; fourth, that it would take more money out of the people than it would afford them in protection; fifth, that it would be injurious to the carrying trade. Events have already supplied almost all the necessary replies to these arguments. The common knowledge ef the country of current business transac- tions will afford to every reader the reply he needs to Mr. Cartwricht’s positim. He then attacked Mr. Tilley’s estimate ef revenue, and endeavoured to shew that it could not possibly be fulfilled. It is singular that such a_ charge shonld be made by a gentleman who never once during his whole ministerial course accomplished the fulfilment of his estimates on any puintat all. ‘* The coun- try had entered on a downward path ;” we were going “‘contrary to the practice of civilized nations,” and so on. ‘That was the fashion of Mr. Cartwright’s oration, which he did not continue very long. It seemed if one had heard all before in vari- ous quarters. Mr. Cartwright was not less dictatorial in tone than usual, but seemed to labor under a melancholy impression that he was talking to a benighted house, and that he would have to look to foreign- ers and the next generation for approval. -— Afail.

More Troublo Ahead. CHILLIAN FLEET INTERFERES ENGLAND'S INTERESTS.

eee

THE WITH

fn the Honse of Commons, Charles Rus- sell, (Conservative) asked whether the Goy- ernment had received information that the Chillian fleet had destroyed jetties and landing stages and seized launches loading guanv ‘rom Pern to England, by which the loading of over one hundred vessels, chiefly English, was interrupted, and the exporta- tion of guano stopped, to the injury of boudholders and the agricultural and sbip- ping interests cf this conntry; whether the Government was prepared to take, and what steps, for the protection of British interests and also with reference to the damage already cone.

Mr. Bourke, Under Secretary of Foreign Affairs, said sufficient information upon the subject reached the Government which seemed to be practically of the same char- acter as that mentioned in the question,— that the sn ject had received within the last 48 houis the serious attention of the Government, and they had already taken steps for the protection of British interests and British property.

It appears from the Russian_ press that the main reason for General Drentelen’s assassination was that he had himself dis- covered the printing oflice of the social revolutionary Semlija-i-Wolja, or ‘Land and Freedum.” An account by the C.ar- kou Diozezan Nachrichien of the treatinent of the inmates of the .entral prison for po- litical offenders, revexls the cruelty still practised in Russia. Of the 500 people who have been locked up during the last four mouths, 200 have already died of scurvy. A small piece of biscuit once in the twenty-four hours is all they get, ex- cept-a liberal allowance of the whip. No fewer than forty-two have gone mad during these four months. Six political prisions are to be built in different parts of Russia, each to hold 6,000 prisoners. Is it any wouder that the people are beginning to rise in their might against thie despotism [and cruelty of the ‘‘ holy” Ozar?

A Village Destroyed.

1879,

| Details of the tornado at Walterboro, 8, 'C., show that the village was struck by a tornado from sea, which swept across its centre, completely demolishing about half _the dwellings and every church in the east- ‘ern portion of the town, Trees and ruined houses are massed together in every direc- tion, and streets and landmarks completely ‘obliterated. The seven churches—-Episeo- pal, Catholic, Presbyterian, Baptist, Meth- ‘odist, and Baptist and Methodist colored— ‘are heaps of rubbish, and the Academy is {in the same condition. No stores are de- stroyed, and the Court House and jail are ‘uninjured. The people are crowded in the few remaining dwelling houses. Provisions are short; much distress is inevitable, and assistance is greatly needed. The loss ef | property must be very large. The work of | destruction was accomplished in Jess than two minutes. The eyclone approached in a cireular cloud that was seen two miles off, andeame with a deep humming sound. The loss is very heavy, the flooding rains washing the cropped fields out till they are as smooth as sidewalks.

There arrived in London, Ont., on the 18th inst., a man named’ John Ellis, in search of his wife, she having left her home in Port Hope a week before, in company with a gardener named William Eddy. De- tectives Murphy and Wilmore were detailed to work up the case, and this afternoon they succeeded in arresting the runaway couple at 478 Great Market street, where a house had been rented and furnished. The charge against the couple is that they stele from the house of John Ellis, the complain- ant, $700, in’ money, a quantity of silver- ware and furniture. When arrested the man had on his person $35 in money and & cheque for $350 on the Montreal Bank in London. The woman claimed that the money was all her own, having beer left her by a relative, and further, that her husband could not keep any money in his own name without fear of being garnisheed for debts. The man Eddy, who is a Scotch man, and who left a wife and four children behind him, does not seem to feel very bad about the disgrace which has fallen on his family. It is. probable the womanrwill re- turn to Port Hope with her husband this evening.

The United States Government is not the only one called upon to consider the Chi- nese-labor question. The intelligence comes from Australia that the Government has issued orders to prevent the employment of Chinese laborers on Government contracts. Treated as an inferior race, and denied the rights of citizenship in California and Aus- tralia, the Chinese must look to seme other country as a field for emigration, and there will be little difficulty in peopling a country which offers any inducement to them to settle in it.

The Nova Scotia fishing fleet will be much larger this season than ever before, Nearly every eutport throughout the Prov- ince is fitting out vessels for the purpose, and many of them are beautiful models, with all the most modern appliances for the prosecution of the business. A considerable number will go to the Grand Banks, which have hitherto been scarcely touched by Nova Scotians.
