they have been larger. during the Pe year than i any
known previous one,—a state of affairs owing, in a
reat measure, to the improvement effected in the
Harbor by the Breakwater partiaily erected there—
There was suflicient produce in the vicinity to have
Joaded several other vessels had they offered for that

Tax Halifax Chronicle, in noticing our appointment
to the office of Queen's Printer, remarks that this does
not indicate that the Governmentintend exerting thom-
selves to take the Island into the Dominion.” Very
true, We eay, and we can assure oor GuNtemporary, ae
well as othera who entertained the remotest suepicion,
to the contrary, that this Government bot only never
‘+ exerted’! themselves to bring the [sland into the Do-
minion, but never even thought of doing euch a thing.
From ais iutimaty knowledge of the state of the Islands
we feel justified in avserting that the comparitively
gmull ammount of Union eentiment of which the Colony
eould boast a twelve-month ago, scarcely the small-
cat portion éxista at the preswnt moment. Coufeder-
ation ie stamped out, aud the experience of the Domin-
ioW giuge July last, culminating in the legislation of the
Session just closed, serves as a monumedt to the ex-
tinct Union sentiment. On this point the Government
is true to the people, and will eout'aue so, whatever
their enemies may say to the contrary. |

Here is what the Commercial Bullstin of Boston says
of the industrial condition of the Northern States :—
In no part of the countay is industry at s0 low an ebb,
capital ¢o unremunerative, and their products so poorly
puid for as in New England at present :
Not only are our manutactones closed, or running on
short time, and thousands throwa out of employment, but
our commercial classes are suffering uumense 1osse3 from
the stagnation of trade, and shrinking im values, In fect
the nobie race of importing and ship ing merchants, once
the boast of our New Bngland sea-ports, whose ships
poured into our markets the wealth of every cline, are now
falling into comparitive decay,
Tix similar gloomy colora does a correspondent of the
Boston Journal depict the collapse of business in the
State of Maine:—
The fact canno< be gainsayed that, go where you may in
Maine, busine.s will be found crippled, and the ery of dull
times goea up on every hand. There willbe less lumbering
by ong half this winter than usual, and there 1s such @ plos-
tration in our ship building interests that hardly a vessel
ean be found upon the stocks, }

To Cornesponpenra.—‘tAn Iriahman” writes that
he recently attended a lecture on temperance in the
basement of the Wesleyan Chutch. but was’rather dis-
appointed to hear one young man indulge in ridicule
and abuse of the Irish, instead of confining himselt to
the subject announced, and exposing the evils of in-
temperance. It is scarcely wovih tho while of our cor-
respondent to expose the youthful indiscretion or na-
toral stupidity of tho indlividnal referred to; at all
events, we have- decided that eur 4pace can be more
profitably employed than in noticing so small an affair.

moreover, to which the American Irish belong, and to
which they are indispensable. If it should come into

Holloway's Ointment and Pills —In angry ov indoleny

of little consequence how long these disorders may have
lasted, or how eluggieh. or obstinate. or milignant they
may seem, the daily application of the Ointment to the
yarte affected, and a corse of these matchless Pilla, will
most certainly effect acore, not temporary or euperticial,
but complete and permanant. Both the Ointment and
Pills are composed of rare baleame, unmixed with mer-
cury ov any other deleterious mbetance, They are ac-
cordingly ae mild and safe ae they are powerful and

Tax Halifax Chronicle, in noticing our appointment
to the office of Queen's Printer, remarks that this does
not indicate that the Governmentintend exerting thom-
selves to take the Island into the Dominion.” Very
true, We eay, and we can assure oor GuNtemporary, ae
well as othera who entertained the remotest suepicion,
to the contrary, that this Government bot only never
‘+ exerted’! themselves to bring the [sland into the Do-
minion, but never even thought of doing euch a thing.
From ais iutimaty knowledge of the state of the Islands
we feel justified in avserting that the comparitively
gmull ammount of Union eentiment of which the Colony
eould boast a twelve-month ago, scarcely the small-
cat portion éxista at the preswnt moment. Coufeder-
ation ie stamped out, aud the experience of the Domin-
ioW giuge July last, culminating in the legislation of the
Session just closed, serves as a monumedt to the ex-
tinct Union sentiment. On this point the Government
is true to the people, and will eout'aue so, whatever
their enemies may say to the contrary. |

Here is what the Commercial Bullstin of Boston says
of the industrial condition of the Northern States :—
In no part of the countay is industry at s0 low an ebb,
capital ¢o unremunerative, and their products so poorly
puid for as in New England at present :
Not only are our manutactones closed, or running on
short time, and thousands throwa out of employment, but
our commercial classes are suffering uumense 1osse3 from
the stagnation of trade, and shrinking im values, In fect
the nobie race of importing and ship ing merchants, once
the boast of our New Bngland sea-ports, whose ships
poured into our markets the wealth of every cline, are now
falling into comparitive decay,
Tix similar gloomy colora does a correspondent of the
Boston Journal depict the collapse of business in the
State of Maine:—
The fact canno< be gainsayed that, go where you may in
Maine, busine.s will be found crippled, and the ery of dull
times goea up on every hand. There willbe less lumbering
by ong half this winter than usual, and there 1s such @ plos-
tration in our ship building interests that hardly a vessel
ean be found upon the stocks, }

To Cornesponpenra.—‘tAn Iriahman” writes that
he recently attended a lecture on temperance in the
basement of the Wesleyan Chutch. but was’rather dis-
appointed to hear one young man indulge in ridicule
and abuse of the Irish, instead of confining himselt to
the subject announced, and exposing the evils of in-
temperance. It is scarcely wovih tho while of our cor-
respondent to expose the youthful indiscretion or na-
toral stupidity of tho indlividnal referred to; at all
events, we have- decided that eur 4pace can be more
profitably employed than in noticing so small an affair.

port, and will leave for England on Thareday night
next. ‘The Africa willbe the last steamer of the Can- |
ard line calling at Flalifax, ‘The R.M. Steamer Alpha,
will leave here for Bermuda on Friday morning next,
at 10 o'clock. The next mail for Newfoundland will
be despatched on Friday, the 17th inat,—Hz. Paper,
Horrisir Tracepy.—Cleveland, O., Dec., 23.—Hon,
C. Hamilton, Republican member oi Congress from the
8th Ohio District, was brutally murdered by hie son in
a fit of insanity on Sunday morning, being struck on
the head with an axe at Maryayille, Ohio. eeneivt oy
the sight of blood, the ‘son returned to the house and
suceveded in inflicting several severe wounds upon #&
younger brother before he comld be rescued, The
murderer id now a bapajeas raving maniac, Mr.
Hamilton bad just returned from Washingtor.
Sianreicant.—A late copy of the London Times bas
this significant paragraph +" A great transfer of po-
litical power in the United States is foreshadowed by the
late elections, and it ia all in favor of the Democratic
party—the old and bitter enemy of Englind, the party
moreover, to which the American Irish belong, and to
which they are indispensable. If it should come into
office while these claims were unsettled, and while
Fenianism was vif, the consequences might be such as
the friends of peace and civilization on both ‘sides of
the Atlantic would deplore.”
The, Ottawa Times says:—' The flon, Mr. McGee
resumed his seat in the House last night, and on enter-
ing was received with a hearty burst of applause from
all parts of the House, A little before widnight he
spoke briefly om the Intercolonial Railway Bill, and
took occasion to refer incidentally to the leading quea-
tions which bad been submitted by the Government for
consideration, in terma of the warmest approval of the
general policy which has thus far beem sketched. Mr.
MeGee spoke, we think, with rather more vigor than he
did on the Address, and appeared to be in a much bet-
ter state of health than when be was last in Parliament
Sir John A. MacDowald paid an eloquent tribute to the
Hon. gentleman for the great service he lad rendered
the courtry, aud expressed the congratulations of the
Government and Houde at his being again able to take
his seat in Parliament.”
Holloway's Ointment and Pills —In angry ov indoleny
sores and skin diseases originating in impure or weak
blood or repressed secretions, the Plas sqneay of Hollo-
way’s Pills and Ointment is perfectly irresistible. It ie
of little consequence how long these disorders may have
lasted, or how eluggieh. or obstinate. or milignant they
may seem, the daily application of the Ointment to the
yarte affected, and a corse of these matchless Pilla, will
most certainly effect acore, not temporary or euperticial,
but complete and permanant. Both the Ointment and
Pills are composed of rare baleame, unmixed with mer-
cury ov any other deleterious mbetance, They are ac-
cordingly ae mild and safe ae they are powerful and
efficacious.
