The Fishery Award.

An Ottawa despatch of the 4th, to the Halifax Lerald, reports :—

‘‘The Maritime Provinces’ delegates are still

ressing their claims. It is generally be- fieved that the Provinces will receive interest annually on their proportion of the fishery award.”

Just what's wanted !

Winter Communication and the ‘‘Northern Light.”

Tae Light remains in Char- lottetown awaiting orders. In this city, all who know anything about the crossing at the Capes, agree with Tae Examiner that the Nerthern Light is unfitted for the Capes’ route ; ad the opinion seems to be general that it would be better to send her to Georgetown, and get a smaller or more easily managed boat to test the practibility between

sVortheri

steam communication

We are informed that there is

of winite the Capes. yet a considerable quantity of goods for im- port. Should navigation close and the Northern Light be sent to the Capes, these goods cannot” be obtained this year, and our merchants and the public will be great- ly inconvenienced.

It has been suggested that Bati’s tug, the Hen:y Aitken, be sent to the Capes. Though she is not, in our opinion, just the kind of }oat to send there, yet it cannot be doubted that, compared with the Northern Light, she is much the best fitted for the service required, and far the most likely to ensure a svceessful experiment.

It must be remembered that till railway communication with the Capes is estab- lished, that route cannot be made available for the transport of goods either to or from the Island; and, therefore, the steamer re- quired at the Capes is only sucha one as can quickly ferry passengers across, and test the practibility of keeping up constant communication with the outside world at those points.

“The Monrose Doctrine.”

Ir seems that all the people of the United States have not abandoned the Monroe Doctrinv. The proposal of Mr. DeLesseps to built Darien (which is not U. 8. territory) is being opposed on the ground that Euro- peans should not be permitted to interfere

a canal across the Isthmus of

in an enterprise which affects America. The fol owing is the text of a resolution now before the Congress Committce on Foreign Relations :—

Wher as, The people of this Union for fifty years have adhered to the ‘‘Monroe” doctrine that the nations of the American continent by the free aud independent condition which they have assumed and maintamed are henceforth not to considered as subjects for future occu- pation by an Earopean power; therefore,

Resolved, by the Senate and House of Repre- sentatives, that the people of these States would aot view without serious inquietude any att-»mpt by the powers of Europe to establish under their protection and domina- tion a ship-canal across the [sthmus of Darien, and sach action could not be regarded in any other light than as a manifestation of an un- friendly disposition towards the United

States.

What next? Shall we have the United States interfering to prevent Great Britain from assisting in the build-

ing of the Canadian Pacific Railway? The one interference would be just as right and warraitable as the other.

Sir A. T. Galt as Resident Minister. | — |

Ir is reported that Sir A. T. Galt is to | be ‘* Resident Minister” for Canada at the | Capital ot the Empire. There is no doubt | that the presence at the seat of Government of so eminent a man and such a thorough Canaclian, will be of great advantage to this country. The appointment will be oppor- tune, too, because of the complications and negociations likely soon to take place in the matter of the fisheries. There is no man so able to represent Canadian interestsi n that matter as Sir A. T. Galt. And there are

* many other ways in which a man of his

commanding influence, having the ear of the Homs Authorities can, directly and in- directly, benefit the Dominion,

AN INGENIOUS ATTEMPT MADE TO BURN THE STORE OF DAVISON & CO.

On Friday night an ingenious and a most deliberate attempt was made to burn the grocery store of Messrs. Davison & Co., which is situated on the corner of Kent and Great George Streets. The inflammable material used was a medium sized lamp- wick thoroughly saturated with kerosene oil. This was placed between the shutters of the large window fronting Kent Street. A quantity of kerosene oil was poured on the part of the shutters adjeining the wick and on the sill below it. The wick was then lit, and no doubt left by the incen- diary to perform his fiendish work ; but evidently the wind quenched the blaze

KE have great pleasure in informing our Customers that our first quarters business has been very satisfactory ; not only has the custom of our pre- decessor been maintained but largely augmented. The char- acter, style and prices of our Goods have given great satisfac- tion. We have still on hand a Good Stock of General and Fancy DRY GOODS, such as few houses here can show, and at prices that defy competition. Our DRESS MATERIALS, Mantles and Cloths of every description are having a good run, whilst our Fur Goods are going off in good style. The gentlemen find it economical to buy from us their Ulsters, Over- coats and Reefers, as well as their Shirts, Linders, Ties, &c.

At this season we would call special attention to our beauti- ful stock of FANCY WOOL WORK—in every shape and form, besides Wools of every description.

Our CARPETS are, without doubt, the cheapest in the city, and have sold well. Intending purchasers will serve their own interests to call ere they all go. It is not every day such oppor- tunities occur for furnishing at a cheap rate.

In the work we have given ourselves of giving ‘ Good Goods for little money,” we have so far had the co-operation of the Public, which, if continued, cannot fail, in the end, to largely benefit us and all who favor us with their custom.

We have made up our minds to gain and deserve a large share of public patronage and support, which we are sensible will be: the result of industry, courtesy. and an assiduous! attention to each of our numerous customers, as well as to each branch of our business.

Mantle and Dress Making is done on the premises by the Misses CurRiEz.
