_ Dominion Parliament. Orrawa, March 18. My. Lafiamine introduced a bill to abol- | ish the oftice of Receiver General, and cre- {ate Attorney General. In reply to a ques- tion he said the Attorney General would be 'a member of the Cabinet. | The Premier introduced a bill to amend ithe Pacific Railway Act, explaining that it ‘wave the Government power to lease the Pembina branch, or make any arrangement necessary fer running it in connection with other roads. It was an open question how the road would be worked, whether done by the Government or leased to a company, and whether the road would be stocked, or leased without being stocked. The Ameri- can road would reach the boundary this {season, and it was necessary that the Goy- ernment should have the powers asked for. To stock the road would require the erec- tion of work-shops for repairs, and as it was the declared policy of the country that the Pacific Railway and its branches should be worked by companies, it was not advisable to spend money for this purpose. The lease would not be for more than four or five years, as it was expected that there would be a continuous line through our own territory by that time, and the Government would take care that the road would not be trammelled with any engagements that would prevent their being handed over to a company.
Dr. Tapper said that he hoped the Pre- mier would provide, in any lease that might be granted, against any unfair tariff imposed,
The Premier said that had already been considered, but the lease, if one was made, would be submitted to Parliament for con- sideration.
In answer to Mr. Plumb, the Premier said an order in Council had been made al- lowing the Canada Vine Growers’ Associa- tion to mannfacture 80,000 eallons of wine without excise duty.
In answerto Mr. Kirkpatrick, the Pre- mier said he did not know of any money having been returned to the treasury on account of an overcharge in the price paid for the Nebbing Hotel.
The bills relating to the National Insur- ance Co., Stadacona Insurance Co., Ontario Mutual Life Insurance Co., Quebec Fire Association, Bank of Liverpool, Grand Trunk Railway, Northern Railway, Mont- real and Champlain Junction Railway, and 3rockville and Ottawa and Canada Central Railway were agreed to in committee of the whole.
Mr. Bunsier moved a resolution in favor of forbidding the employment of men on the Pacific Railway with hair longer than five and a half inches, supporting tt ina speech.
The Premier and Dr. Tupper opposed it, and it was withdrawn.
Mr. Bunster has been canvassing for it for some time, and had been promised con- siderable support.
Mr, Thomson, of Welland, moved a resolution in favor of the Government establishing an agricultural bank m every county of the Dominion, with a capital of half a willion, notes to that amount to be loaned each bank at 3 per cent., and loans to be made by the bank only to farmers for farm purposes, at no more than 5 per cent.
Six o'clock came, journed till to-morrow.
In discussing the item of the Judges salaries in supply, late on Friday night, Mr. McDonell (Inverness) contended that the Judges in Nova Scotia should be paid similar to those in Quebec, saying that they were paid out. of the common salary and were in all other respects equal. He hoped the acconnts would be rectified m early future.

Another War Probable.
Panama, March 18.--The German war vessels Elizabeth and Ariadus are now at Panama and ‘‘Medusa” at Aspiuwall, await- ing orders to proceed to Nicaragua and de- mand satisiaction for the outrage committed a year ago upon Ejisenstuck. The German Consul at Leon and Von. Bergen, Minister of Germany to Ceniral America, arrived here yesterday from Guatemala, it is sup- posed to confer with the fleet as to their future movements. Another vessel of war is daily expected, whieh will complete the squadron. Costa Rica and Guatemlala are both preparing for war. President of Costa Rica has purchased a steamer in San Fran- cisco, and had her fitted out as a man-of- war, and has sent to Europe for a large sup- ply of arms. He is determined at any cost and by any means to carry out his scheme ef Central American Confederation, and | the President of Guatemala is equally de- | termined to oppose him. _--—— +

NO, 264,
United States Honor. lalla ' The New York Nation, in the course of an article on the Fishery Award, in which it expresses its doubts as to whether the award will ever be paid, has the following in reference to United States Honor :20 | This award if it has no other effect, may help to set the better portion of the Ameri- can people thinking a little more seriotsly about the influence on the national repita- tion and national morality which the con- duet of Congress in the interpretation of na- tional obligations is exciting #and likely to excite. As soon asthe war was over and the atiention of politicians was turned to these obligations in their most serious form the public debt—an attempt was made, and powerfully supported, to construe the national bonds in the spirit of a sharp Taw- yer contending for an unscrupulous elfént. In the Alabama controversy we élaimed compensation from Great Britain for cer- tain specific injuries to the property of cer- tain specified persons, proving the damage and got the money, and all this with’ as much definiteness and solemnity and pub- licity as it was possible to put into a hitiga- ion. As soon as we were paid, however, we turned around and denied that some’ of these very persons had sutiered any loss orwere entitled to any redress, and kept what we had received on their account in the nation- al treasury, where it now is; and we have defended the performance by quibbles which have shocked the civilized world, and which our own representative at the arbitration considers dishonest. We have during the last five years borrowed some hundreds “of millions of dollars ingold coin, and solemn- ly promised through all the proper sourées to repay it, principal and interest, in gold ooin; which, however, has not prevented us from passing an act with loud cheers, declar- ing both one and the other payable in de preciated silver coin, and great multitudes of our people have been led to think this is all right because it is legal. Other cases, too, have occurred, and are so well known that we need not enumerate them, in which we have exacted indemnity from foreign powers for wrongs done to our citizens, and then cooly refused to pay it. over te our clients, so that a claim for indemnity by the United States now excites a by no means complimentary smile in diplomatic circles, and the American name is becoming more and more associated in foreign eyes with tricky and shady and somewhat brazen transactions.

Napoleon on the Future of HEng- land and Russia. A SIGNIFICANT PROPHECY.
The followmg remarkable observation _ of Napoleon Bonaparte, while at St. Helena, is from O’Meara’s ‘‘Voice from St. Helena,” vol 2, from pages 69 to 72; and the surmises will be read with some interest at the present junc- ture:--‘‘In the course ofa few years Russia will have Coustantinople, the greatest part of Turkey, and ail Greece. This I hold to beas certain as if, it had already taken place, A- most all the cajoling which Alexander prae- tised towards me was to gain my consent fo effect this object. | would not consent, fore seeing that the equilibrium of Exrope would be destroyed. !n the natural course of things inafew years Turkey mast fall to Russia. The greatest part of her population are Greeks who, you may say, are Russians. The powers it would injure, and who could oppose it, are England, France, Prussia, and Austria. Now, as to Austria, it will be very easy for Russia to gain her assistance by giving her Servia and other provinces bordermg upon the Austrian dominions, reaching near to Constantinople, The only hypothesis that France and England may be allied with sincerity will he to pre
vent this. PExut even this alliance will not avail, France, England and Prussia uni
caunot prevent it. Russia and Anstria can at any time effect it. Once mistress of Cont stantinople, Russia gets ali the commerce of the Mediterranean, becomes a great naval power, and God knows. what may happen. She quarrels with you, marches off to India aaarmy of 70,000 good soldiers, which to iuseia is nothing, and 100,000) cancille, Cos sacks; and England loses India. Above all other powers, Russia is the most to be feared, especially by you. Her soldiers are braveét than the Austrians, and she has the means of raising as many as she pleases. In bravery, the French and English soldiers are the only ones to be compared to them. All this I fore- saw. I see into futurity further than others. and { wanted to establish « barrier against those barbarians by re-establishing the kimg- dom ef Poland, and potting Poniatowski at the head of it as king; but your imbeciles of ministers would not consent. A hundred’ years hence i shail be praised («ncense), and Europe, especially England, will lament that I did not succeed. When they see the finest countries in Europe overrun and a pray to those northern barbarians, tliey will say, ‘Napoleon was right.” :
