MontrreaL, Oct. 23.

The libel suit against James Stewart, of th® ‘‘Herald,” has been settled by an ample apology to the Hon. G. B. Baker, ex-Attorney General of Quebec.

With Goff’s absconding and Stewart's apology ends one of the most disgraceful attempts ever made to ruin a public man’s character.

The Merchants Bank declared a three-and- a-half per cent. dividend, as predicted in my despatch of yesterday. This gives general satisfaction.

Official information has been received to-day that the Marquis of Lorne stops only two days at Halifax. He does not go to Quebec for the present, but proceeds direct to Ottawa, via Montreal, to become acquainted with the mem- bers of the Government.

Montreal Bank stock rose to 151 and Mer- chants to 954.

The Bombay ‘‘Gazette” states that the ad- vance upon Cabul is postponed until next year with a view of more effectually coercing the Ameer, rather than by a mere dash.

A Hunprep Years Hencr.—All that can be said is that the world, as it w'll be a cen-

which can now be framed of it. Nations which are now in the background may have come to the front; the very notion of huge political organizations, such as are now the fashion, may have become discredited and an- tiquated ; the Un'ted States may not have commercial primacy, because there may be no United States; the very idea of indefinite ac- tions of material wealth with which we are so familiar may have been replaced by greater care for the ends of life, and less care for the means, so that the superior resources of the United States, if they are superior, may not even be used. The least reflection on the fature would teach us to be chary of pre- phecy.— Daily News.

Prof. B. G. Northrup, of Connecticut, follows President Porter in his criticism of ‘** Not Enough English” in our schools. He says, ‘‘ In the Old World the schools excel ours in the teaching of the vernacular of their country. Here we are apt to run into French and Latin, and neglect the English ; scholars are, when they gradu- ate, without a popular knowledge of our language. The study of English me ngs be pursued as a careful study everywhere.”

NATIONAL-COMMERCIAL DEFENCE.

A Liberal-Conservative member of Par- liament writes to the Toronto Mail the fol- lowing letter which is, we think, well worthy of perusal and consideration :—

‘The Conservative party of Canada, whose main platform has ever been to preserve in- tact and if possible more closely cement our relations to Britain, led by its renowned lead- er Sir John McDonald, whose unflinching and indeed chivalrous adherence to British institu - tions is so well known, will, now that they are at the helm, carefully watch and guard, that the ties which bind us to Britain are not weakened by the new commercial policy which is to be inaugurated for the better en- couragement of our industries. In short that, while defending this Dominion against the hostile commercial tariffs of foreign countries, Sir John’s Government will, as far as practi- cable, enconrage and foster free interchange of products with Britain and her numerous other colonies. The ultimate object of Pro- tection where followed under the British flag should be not to obtain an unfair and undue advantage over foreign countries, but to bring about equable trade relations with such coun- tries. Une cannot help thinking that if the British Government would apply the same dignified firmness, discretion, and common sense to her commercial policy that she has recently displayed in her foreign war policy, the same happy elevation of her commercial and industrial position would result. For as the best way to preserve peace with honor and prestige is to be oe and well prepared to defend her right, sc the wisest way to preserve her commercial position would be, even in the face of abstract theories, to show the same re- solve to defend her mar mee in all portions of the Empire against the grasping aggression of Senter: tantf regulations. . For instance, were Britain te defend herself against the 86° gressive policy of the United States, which, not satistied with putting on duties that are almost prohibitive on British and Canadian manufactures entering that country, is actu- ally calling on her people to draw the bread out of the very mouth of the British industrial classes by giving bounties and drawbacks to encourage her manufacturers to force their wares into the British home market itself, so as if possible to close up her workshops, Could the world blame Britain, or would it be a departure from her general enlightened policy of free and fair trade with all countries more than her general peace policy, where she to say to the United States ‘‘ We will givea preference to our colonies in supplying us with agricultural products, &c., by putting duties on your products so long as you treat us un- fairly and illiberally.” If the United States still persisted in her present policy would not the effect be.to secure a rapid development of the vast agricultural resources, not only of Canada, but of all the British colonies, active immigration even from the United States it- self to British colonies, a largely increased market for British manufacture, and a more firm consolidation of the whole British Em pire? Would not the whole world laugh to scorn the British Government who would de- liberately propose to defend the Empire to day against her jealous enemies with unarm- oured wooden men-of-war—‘‘ the old and much honoured wooden walls of England’—while other countries had the grim, compact-armour- ed ironclad men-of-war of the present day. Yet, the way in which Britain and some of her colonies are to-day allowing themselves to be outstripped in the race with the rival indus- tries ot foreign countries, by the unreasonable and obstinate adherance to abstract Free Trade dogmas under all and every cireum- stance is, tomy mind open to equal ridicule.”

Anticipated Panic in England.

Says the London Standard: In spite of the rice of corn—which was sold last week in Mark Lane, we are told on authority, at a rice lower than the oldest dealers can remem- r—the revenue is falling steadily, and in a way which proves that the wave of aciver- sity, which was at first felt only by the mid- dle class, has at length reached the body of the — Though bread is cheap they are ob- iged to be sparing of customary luxuries, and the Excise goes down. There is no revival in business visible, and the accounts from Lan- cashire, from the India trade, from the metal industries, grow rather worse than better, while there are signs that the monetary panic now overdue two years and expected for the last twelve months, is very near at hand, A t Scotch bank, which very recently had ,000,000 of deposits, has closed its doors; and if any London bank were to go just now we should, within forty-eight hours, be in a state of barter. Serious financiers gravely doubt whether a ‘Black Friday” can be staved off much longer, and large discounters, er, as a rule, for business, are ‘‘making themselves safe” by refusing bills.

The same journal, speaking of the failure of the Scotch Bank, says :—

‘*The depositors will all be paid, of course, by the slow ruin of the shareholders, among whom there is actually a bank, but the failure scatters misery over the west of Scotland. The city creditors are doing their best, per- haps rightly, to prevent panic, but there can be no doubt that the blow to commerce will be most severe, that the Indian trade in par- ticular will be terribly hit, and that we may next week be in the midst of a monetary crisis. So much capital has been drained away from many trades, that if another similar revelation is made, we shall see great firms bringing each other down like a house of

cards. Panic is most unwise, but a little more’

caution and a little less deliberate lying would tend very much to public confidence. Some of the statements made to reassure the public about this bank were most discreditable.
