be held at Bayfield, N. B., on the 16th inst., by the committee appointed at the previous railway meeting held at Bay Verte, and at 7 o'clock of this date a large concourse of people assembled. Where- upon W, Ailen Wells, Esq., was elected to the chair, Geo. B. Willeti, secy. The chairman opened the meeting by a short speech. After this the Rev. R. Wilson took the platform and after a few intro- ductory remarks delivered a strong rail-
way speech, explaining the many advan- tages to accrue from the construction of the Cape Tormentine Railway, and plainly proving this ronte to be the only practical connection with P. E. Island, and in a fla
ent and intelligent winner urged the necessity of united effort in agitating this important work. Richardson Trenholm, Esq., stated that the ferry between the capes was the only sure connection with P. Ki Island, and referred to the promises made by the past as well as the present Government to buill said Jine of railway. James Carroll foliowed, referring to the remarks made by Sir Chas. Tupper in 1878 when he promised railway communication with Cape Tormentine. Also those of Sir A. J. Smith in 1872, promising a com- pete line of railway in the lapse of four years. Dr. C. J. McCully showed the ad-
vantage of making an energstic effort at the present time and of now forcing our clain.s on tho present administration, W.
H. Faulkner urged the importance of united effort and pointed out the simali ex-
penditure required compared with other lines of the same length. Mr. Robert Goodwin, in a finent and humorous speech,
reiterated the importance of immediate action, referring to the site of railway as passing through one of the best agricul
tural districts in the Dominion. Avard Dobson, John Hennessey, Alfred Ray-
worth, Esq., Ephraim Allen and Smith McGlashlin followed in short but effective spetches. Moved by Dr. McCully, second-
ed by Ward Dubson, Esq., that every effort be made to atiend a mass meeting to be held in cenjunction with the people of Amherst in that town for the purpose of furthering this interest.
A committee of five was then elected for the general transaction of this business. Geo. A. Dobson, Jas. Carroll, Jos. Rich- ardsan Trenholm, Alfred Rayworth and Jeremiah Sweeny, Esq., composing such committee.
Moved and seconded that a report of this meeting be sent to N. B., N. S. and P. E. Island papers.—Carried. Meeting closed after a vete of thanks to the chair- man and secretary, by three cheers for the Queen and Cape Tormentine Railway.

The Late Ch Chief Justice Co! eckburn.
The Right Honorable Sir Alexander James Edmund Cockburn, Bart., G. C. B., Lord Chief Justice of England, died on Sunday in the 78th year of age. He was the son of Mr. Alexander Cockburn, for- merly British Minister in Columbia. In 1858 he succeeded to the baronetcy of his uncle, the late Rev. Sir William Cock- burn, Dean of York. Having been educat- ed at Trinity Hall, Cambridge, where he graduated LL.B. in 1829. Mr. Cockburn was called to the bar at the Middle Temple and went to the Western Circuit. In 1841 he became Q. C.; during the railway mania of 1846 he had the good fortune to obtain a large share of the Parliamentary practice which arose out of the various lines pro- jected, and at the general election of 1847 he was returned for Southampten in the advanced Liberal intetest. He did not take a very prominent position as a de- bater until he made his memorable de- fence of Lord Palmerston’s foreign policy on the Pacific question in 1850, which was one of the most eloquent and succcessful specches ever delivered in the House of Commons. He was soon aftewards ap- pointed Solicitor-General, was promoted to be Attorney-General in 1851, and continued to hold the latter office until the dissolution of Lord John Russell’s Ministry in the spring of 1852. On the formation of the coalition Cabinet he resumed his post as Attorney-General, and was appointed Re- corder of Bristol in 1854. W hilst Attorney | General he was engaged in tue ‘‘ Hopwood case,’ and displayed consummate ability in tho prosecution of W. Palmer. On the death of Chief Justice Jervis at the close | of 1856, Sir Alexander Cockburn was) created Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, | and was advanced to the high office of | Lord Chief Justice of England on the) elevation of the late Lord Campbell to the Woolsack in 1869. His charge to the Grand Jury at the Central Criminal Court, | London, delivered April i8th, 1869, in the cause of General Nelson and Lieutenant Brand, prosecuted by the Jamaica Defence Committee, was a masterly performance, and contained a moat elaborate exposition of martial law and of the manner in which it has been applied in various periods of our history. In September, 1871, he was appointed to be arbitrator on the part ef Great Britain under the stipulations of the Washington Treaty relating to the settle- ment of the Alabama claims. He presided

| Beecher Defines Importunity. The Lord's Prayer was the subject of Mr. Beecher's remarks at Plymovth Church prayer meeting last week. He commended it as a model of brevity; comprehensiveness and simplicity. He suggested greater bre- vity and more naturalness in domestic and pubblic prayer. At its close Assistant Pastor Halliday remarked that it was extremely difficult to offer a short prayer and-that the command of Christ was to be importunate in prayer, and that importunity presupposed that a petition would not be brief. Mr. Beecher replied that he did not object to long or short prayers ; what he did desire was an avoidanee of garrulity i in prayer. As to importunity, he commended it by the following illustration ;
‘* When Mr. Moody was a city missonary in Chicago” Mr. Beecher said, “ he preach- ed in the streets of a low neighbourhood where he was stoned and hooted. He went to the Bishop of the Catholie Church to tell him about it. - He applied several times at the door of the Episcopal residence, and he was invariably told that the Bishop was not at home. Moody thought that there must he something wrong about it, and so the last time he went he sat himself down on the steps of the outside of the house. After about nine or ten different people had come to the door the serveynt went in and told the Bishop that a man was waiting on the steps and that he had been waiting there half a day. The Bishop told her to show him in. Moody went in and told the Bishop that he had been preaching among the peop le who oyght to go te the Catho lic Church ; ; that he had tried to get them te clean up their ho nes, save their money, give wp drink and join temperance s cieties. The Bishop pro- mised to take the matter into consideration Then Moody said, ‘‘ Bishop Jet us pray about it.’ The Bishop was quite willing. Moody dropped down on his knees and prayed ; then the Bishop prayed, Mcody said, such a sweet, beautiini prayer, and when they rose, the Bishop, with tears in his eyes, said, taking the hand of Moody— “Go and preach ; you shall not be- inter- fered with.’ Now, sitting on these otope ter half a day I call importunity.”

A correspondent of the Moncton Times asks for information to settle a dispute as to the relative size of the Dominion and the United States. According to the official reports, the area of the United States and territeries, including Alaska, is 3,603,884 square miles; exclusive of Alaska, the area of the United States would be 3,235,649 square miles. The area of Canada, aceord- ing to the beat official data, ia 3,580,310 square miles; if Newfoundland were added, it would reach 3,620,510 square miles. Therefore it will be seen that the area of the United States, including Alaska, is somewhat greater than the present area of the Dominion; without Alaska, is much less. The data in reference to Canada does net include smajl islands recently put under the government of the Veminion by the Imperial authorities, andif these are taken into account the difference in favor of our neighbors is somewhat less. If Newfoundland were added to the Dominion at any time, its area would then be consi- dered greater than thatof the United States, including all the territories and Alaska. The ‘‘Union Jack” flies over a greater area in North America than the Stars and Stripes,”

Taw Hantans.—A gentleman who is in- timately acquainted with some of the Han- lan family, hasfurnished us with the fol- lowing sketch, which cannot fail, at the present time, to awaken more. than ordi- nary interest: William Hanlan, an uncle of the now famous oarsman, has resided in Souris for several years past, and only dis- covered through correspondence, since ‘‘Ned” began to figure in aquatic contests, that he was hisuephew. It appears that he andhis brother John, the celebrated oarsman s father, emigrated from some part of Ireland to Newfoundland several years ago, where they resided for a considerable length of time. William left Newfound- land, and went tothe Magdalene Isiands, | where he remained for some time previous |to coming to Souris. John also ieft New- foundland and located in Canada, where he | resided until his death, and bequeathed to Canada the aquatic conqueror of the world ‘at the present day. Our informant states
‘that William Hanlan, at the time he came to Souris, was of a very robust disposition, ‘and was possessed of more than ordinary | phy sical development. He is now weil advanced in years, and deservedly feels |proud of hisfamous kinsman. We learn ’ | that there isa striking resemblance be- |tween his family and the young Toronto- nian, who, in a succession of contests, in different lands, has demonstrated the won- derful pare prowess ef this Canada of Ours. —K.
