NOTES FROM THE CAPITAL. THE COMMONS. UUMSTIONS CONCERNING KING'S,
In the Commons, on Wednesday laat, Dir. Mr ttart asked whether, in compliance with @ setition presented last session, it is the intention of the Government toconstruct a breacwater in Bay Fortune, in Prince Edwart Island? Hon Mr. Langevin, Min- Mister of Public Works, said in reply that a petitioi had been received asking for the bnildizx gof'a breakwater at fortune Bay, in Prince Edward [sland, but the De- partment of Public Works has not as yet obtain id the information required to enable it te “ceeids whether a breakwater should be but there or not, and* the intention is to hav: a further examination made next season h
Mr. McDonatp (King’s) asked whether if is jhe intention of the Government to vebuil\{ the Breastwork on the East side of Souris River, and construct the . Break- water st Lobster Point, Seuris West, P. EF. gsiand! Hon. Mr, Langevin, Minister of Public Works, repled: There has been a Break vater undertaken on the other side of the Bay and that is not yet completed. The Breakwater mentioned in this question would be about 4,000 ft. from the first, but on the other side of the Bay. It would cost a very large sum of money, and the Gey- ernment is notin a position to premise to under iake that werk. To build the breast- work onthe same side of the Bay weuld cost $20,000, and the Goyernment do not seo thaig way just now to undertake sueh a work,

McKen- Surpee and Anglin complained that severiil very competent men had been dis- charged without suflicient cause. The Min- ister of Inland Revenue replied that when he took office no less than a hundred and twen y-five Inspectors were empleyed ; now, there are only forty. Some men had, of cor.rsa, to be dismissed. Mr. Gault, of Monireal, said some of the Inspectors in

too. He believed in keeping men in office previded they did their duty, without regard to their politi- eal y roclivities. When dismissals had been inad+ they had been for good cause, and the Government were willing that every disu issal should be closely investigated. {t would be found that this was the British principle, and it has been found to be the best both for the country and the party. Sir John referred to the sweep made by the late Government in 1874, particularly in Prince Edward Island, and said it would be tae policy of the present administration to yscompense those dismissed in 1874, by givi 1g them the first vacancies that occurred. Mr. Brecken said that in the Maritime Provinces the great charge made against the Government was that ‘‘it forgets its frie:ids aud propitiates its oppenents.” Mr.- Brecken strongly urged the Government to imitate the policy of the late Administra- tion, and clear out the Grit officials whe tool: aa active part in politics and now tawit Liberal-Conservatives with not beiig able to get positions. Mr. Yeo defended the dismissals ef Mr. McKenzie in 1874, and stated that the superintendent of tae railway on the Island and others had bee 1 dismissed by the present Governnient. Mr. Roberson (Shelburne) speke of the superannuation of the Post Office Inspector and dismissals in Shelburne.
‘ir Charles Tupper replied at length €> the remarks of Yeo and Robertson. He denied that a single official had been re- moved for pelitical reasons. He said the clienges in connexien with the P. E. Island Ralway would effect a saving of $40,000 a yer. He explained the cireumstances

CARRIAGE OF THE MAILS IN WINTER.
The question of navigating the Straits between Nova Scotia and Frinee Edward islaua in winter is discussed in the report of the Minister ef Railways, but it appears to be concluded that the forces of nature are too strong for Mr. Sewell’s or any other steam ferry successfully to overcome ; and the ontinnance of the old plan of winter crossing to the Island in a beat which is half a sledge is apparently accepted as the only available methed for the prompt and regular carriage of the mails.
SALARIES OF OFFICIALS.

‘++ CONGRATULATORY TO THE PRINCESS.
In the @snate; en Friday last, Sir Alex- ander Campbell (Leader of the House) said :—-
A terrible calamity to His Excellency and Her Royal Highness was averted by the prompt and covrayeous assistance rendered by Mr. Bagot, of His Excellency’s staff, who succeeded in that most difficult task of checking a pair of runaway horses, by seiz- ing the bridle-rein of ene of them. The sleigh had been dragged on its side for four hundred yards, and in a moment more would have been upon the bridge which traverses the river, with greatly in- creased danger to its illustrieus cecupants. Happily, Her Royal Highness, although much bruised and cut, was not dangerously hurt, and her first impulse, as we are in- formed, was again to forget herself and her ewn convenience, and in the midst of her suffering, to resume her journey to town, and save these who were waiting her ar- rival here from the disappointment which weuld be felt at the postponement of the drawing reom. More prudent counsels prevailed, and the throng which had assem- bled in this Chamber to pay hemage to Her Royal Highness dispersed full of anxiety as to what the morrow might tell of the effects of the accident. But the bulletins of Sun- day and Monday were re-assuring, and the Cabinet, after consideration, resolved not to propose any address of condolence on the accident, lest they might increase the alarm and anxiety felt here and in Eng- land, and in the hopes, now happily real- ized, that a few days might so restore Her Royal Highness as to enable beth ,Houses of Parliament te address His Excellency in the language of congratulation. Her Royal Highness is still, it is understeod, suffer- ing a good deal of pain, and not yet able -to leave her room, but day by day strength and health are returning te her, and 1 am sure that I but give ex- expression to the feelings of every member of this House when I say that eur feeling, hope and prayer is that we may soon again enjoy the honor ef having again her gra- cious presence in the capital. It is te give expression to these feelings that I propose for your adoption the address te His Exeel- lency, of which I have given notice, and I am happy to be seconded in my motion by the hon. gentleman who leads Her Majes- ty’s Loyal Opposition in this Honse, and whe has gladly promised me his assistance. The address is in these words ;—
To His Excellency, &c. :
May if PLease Your Exceitency;—We Her Mejesty's faithful subjects, the Senate of Canads.in-Parliament assembled, desire te ap- proach yor with arty congratulations on the escape of jal Highness the Princess Louise an om the s¢rious danger occasioned accident which happened to: hinst. Unwilling
to increase tae general alarm occasioned by the news of the injuries received by Her Royal Highness, we have f § to address Yeur Excellency until, in t are happiiy permitt of coagratulation. Her Roya and health are dear to the
and the intelligence of the

she had been placed, and of her narrow escape, was everywhere received with profound in- terest and sympathy, We but give utterance te the fecling of the ceuntry when we assure Your Excellency of the deep gratitude with which the intelligence of her gradual recovery is day by day received, and we earnestly trust that her Royal Highness may shortly be re. stored to her wonted health and strength,
the accident to recall te her the universal joy which hails her recovery.
Hon. Mr. Scorr, in seconding the ad- dress of congratulation to His Excellency the Governor General and Her Royal Highness the Princess Louise, said—I have very little to add to the very earnest and feeling language of the address itself. When the accident occurred, deep sym- pathy was made manifest over the whele Dominion, and it was a very great relief to the people of this eountry when the cir- cumstances became detailed, by which it was apparent that His Excellency and Her Royal Highness had escaped from what might have been a very serious and painful
accilent. The escape was certainly a most providential one. As the daugh- ter of Her Majesty the Queen, Her
Royal Highness has a special interest in the eyes of the Canadian peeple; but apart altogether from her Royal line- age, the Princess Louise is recognized as the postession of very many qualities which endear her to the people of Canada. It is very well known that she is a patroness of art, and takes a deep interest in the 6duca- tional and benerelent institutions of Can- ada, as she did in England before her ar- rival in this country. It is very aatural, therefore, that the people of Canada should take a pride and interest in her residence among them, and it is a matter of very great congratulation, net only to the mem- bers of this House but to the people of Canada that the terrible calamity that might have befallen her has been previden- tially averted. Let us hope that the re- mainder of her stay in Canada will be of a pleasing and agreeable character, and that she may hereafter have none but pleasant reminiscences of her stay amongst us.
Other Senators spoke to the same effeet, and the address passed unanimonsly.

Wa tact Epoerr, of St. John, N. B., has been arrested on suspicion of being con- cerned in the death ef Catherine McDonald, a Carleton woman, to whom he was paying attention. Edgett visited her house en the night of the 20th ult., and while alone with her in a room shouted for help. When the girl’s mother and sister entered, Catherine was in spasms, and died seon after a physi- cian had come. The dector gaye he an emetic, and detected oil of cedar in the substance which she vomited, and attri- butes her death to this. It is not known whether she died by her own hand or that the poison was given by Edgett.
