THE cable despatch stating that the cases against the Irish agitators had been aban- doned by the Government, is untrue; the prisoners are out on bail, but have to appear at Dublin for trial.

THERE is said to be a rapidly growing feel- ing in Russia that war must be engaged in with some one or other, as a panacea for in- ternal disturbances at present affecting the peace of that country.

A REpPorT from the vicinity of Edmonton, Manitobah, says that one farmer there raised this last season, 7,0V0 bushels of wheat, and that another raised 4,000, for all of which a ready loeal market was found:

Ficurine still continues near Cabul, and the situation has become very serious for the British forces. Preparations are being made for combined and decisive action against the expected general attack of the enemy.

GerMANY and Austria are to have a uniform tariff and a customs union, They will thas become virtually ene great nation whose in- fluence will be irresistibly powerful on the Danube and Baltic. But as an offset to this customs union of the Germans, who are to be treated also to a Latin union which will com- prehend France, Spain, Italy; Belgium, and and possibly Switzerland. Great Britain will be left out in the cold, of course. Well, let her form a customs union with her own col- onies? These changes are very probably in the not far distant future.—New Times and Reporter.

Jusr before the last Ontario eiections 2 placard was issued in the city of Toronto in the interest of Mr. Mowat, promising that, if elected, he would send a million of money in the city in the erection of new Parliament buildings. The issue of this placard was de- nounced as a bribe, and the Globe made great efforts to prove that Mr. Mowat was in no way responsible for it. Whether he was or not, there appears to be no doubt of the fact stated init. The Government have now re- solved to erect these legislative buildings, and have selected the site of the Queen’s Park up- on which to erect them. A million of dollars is the estimate which, judgingby the usual ex- periences in such cases, especially under the present Ontario Government, means that two millions will be expended before they are fin- ished.

Good News from England.

The wood circulars, just received, and from which we make extracts to-day, disclose a fur- ther gratifying advance in the price of deals. But still later news by cable has lead to a sale of deals here at $9 a thousand, previous sales having barely averaged $6, while some have been sold at the ruinous price of $4.50. Those who were able to hold and yard their deais, and can now ship them, between the advance in lumber and the decline in freights, will make a nice thing of it. Our London corres- pondents, in a letter which we cannot publish to-day, also send us good news, more espe- cially as regards freights. They say :

The great advance which we noted in East- ern home freights, last month, has not only been maintained, but a farther noticeable rise has taken place. Eighty shillings to Dundee and eighty-five shillings to London has been

Death of an Old Politician.

Ontario advices announce the death, after a lingering illness, of Mr. Daniel Galbraith, M. P., for North Lanark. He was born in Glasgow in 1813, and came to this country when eight years of age. He represented North Lanark in the Ontario Assembly, from 1867 to 1872, and in the House of Commons from 1872 until his death. At the last Gen- eral Election he was electec| over his Liberal Conservative opponent by 43 majority. The deceased gentleman was one of the most high- ly esteemed members of the House of Com- mons, and his death will be universally re- gretted by both political parties.

Great Libera!l-Conservative Ban- quet in Honor of Sir 8S. L. Tilley.

Sr. Jonny, N. B., Dec. 17.—The Conserva- tive banquet at the Royal this evening in honor of Sir 8. L. Tilley, was a grand affair, and continued until an early hour this morn- ing. About one hundred gentlemen sat down to tables loaded with all the delicacies of the season. Among those present were Atty. General Fraser, Hons. Robert Robinson, Robt. Young, George % King, Judge Watters, Judge Palmer, General Warner, John Boyd, Esq., Dr. Tuck, James Harris, Esq., etc. In responee to toasts, speeches were made by the United States Consul, General Warner, John Boyd, Dr. Tuck, C. N. Skinner, and others, Sir Leonard’s speech was received with loud cheering, and was a masterly effort. It was composed of a justification of the National Policy Tariff, and of of his own political career. Sir Leonard leaves for Ottawa to-morrow morning. Addresses will be presented to him at Sussex and Monction.

Daring Robbery. at Berwick, N. 8.

A FARMER ROBBED OF $1,000, THE HARD EARNINGS OF 20 YEARS.

On Thursday the 11th inst., Mr. William Foster, a respectable farmer, who resides about two miles from Berwick, and who had been engaged during the evening in his cellar, his wife and father being in the sitting room, when about returning, dis- covered that a trunk containing his hard earned savings of over twenty years—$950, in bank bills and gold—-a wateh and some clothing, in all over $1,000, had mysteri- ously disappeared. A search areund the preniises revealed the fact that the robbers came in a waggon, drove up the lane a short distance from the house, and left the team, proceeding to the heuse and seeing everything favorable for their plans to sue- ceed, procured a ladder from the barn, by which means they reached the bedroom, forcing up the window and carrying off the trunk, which they evidently thought it bet- ter to open at a more convenient season, as delays might prove dangerous. The trunk has since been found, broken open, and minus cash and watch. The clothing was left ; probably it did not fit. The robbery, for daring and skilfulness in its execution, is only equalled by the Bank of Nova Sco- tia robbery, as it must have been done quite early in the evening, while Mr. F, was in the cellar and the others in the sit- ting room. Amongst the bills taken was an old £5, Nova Scetia currency, Bank of Nova Scotia, which had been in Mr. Fos- ter’s possession for over 20 years, which was the nest egg of the pile. No clue to the robbers so far.—Hzxz. Herald.

The Reform ot Turkey.

The London Telegraph states that Baker Pasha has started on his mission and will speedily arrive at Aleppo. To what extent his recommendations will be carried out re- mains to be seen. Yet it would be idle to ignore the fact that. alongside his pro- gress through the Provinces runs the parallel fact of Turkey’s increasing and apparently helpless poverty. The appoint- ment of an Asiatic gendarmerie, the reform of administration, and the consti- tution of proper juicial tribunals, together with the the many other chauges which have been pressed upon the Porte, all require money for their realization, and against that indubitable preposition is ranged the utter emptiness of the Ottoman treasury. What steps should be taken to place the Porte ina better position is not so clear as that some- thing must be speedily done to avoid a col- lapse. In the opinion of those who know the country, there is still within its confines an abundance of wealth, if it were only properly collected or husbanded. Yet itis not by the assistance of Greek bankers in Galato and their temporary loans at high rates of inter- est upon fresh mortgages that the Turk- ish Goverament can be righted. Some sweeping measure, which should place such ports as Smyrna, Trebizond, and Salonica, to say nothing of Constanstinople. with its year- ly record off five million tons of shipping, in the hands of European administrators is needed, and this should be energetically pro- posed to the Sultan’s advisers. The experi- ment which has been tried in Egypt, if not adopted in its entirety by Turkey, might with certain modifications be carried out for a time at least, and money would thus be provided for the pressing needs of the Government, Without some such plan reforms may be pro- posed, and inspectors may travel through Asia without any result. With it, and some such changes in the Ottoman Ministry as shall put an end to the intrigues which are daily report- ed from Stamboul, an era of prosperity might

of last year; in some cases nearly double.—<?. John Telegraph,
