VALUABLE CaRGo.—Hon. 8S. Prowse cleared the brigt. ‘‘ Livonia” from Murray Harbor for Liverpool on the 3rd inst., with a cargo of produce valued .at $12,520.

One of the most stylish and comfortable

houses in the city is that of Mr. H.- Houle, re-!

cently built at the corner of Prince and Rich- mond streets. Messrs. Stirling & Harris are the architects.

BENEVOLENT IRIsH Soctety.—-The members of the above Society are requested to meet (with regalia) ia St. Patrick’s Hall on Sunday morning at haif-past nine, sharp. By order.— Francis P. McCarron, Secretary.

Tue brigt. ‘‘ Nancy Ross,” of Halifax, N S., was lost off St. Pierre, Miq., on the 19th ult. Her crew, including the Captain’s wife and two children, were picked off by the sch. **Edith Weir,” while on passage from this Island to St. John’s, N’fid.

At the Stipendiary Magistrate’s Court this forenoon, Capt. Ronald McMillan, of the “John F. Robertson,” appeared on charge of assaulting his mate—Gustavus F. Neelson. The Magistrate thought the assault was not of such a nature as would warrant him in fining the Captain. He, therefore, dismissed the summons. John McDonald was fined $1 and costs for beiny drunk and incapable.

Tue Toronto police raided a gambling room a few days ago, and netted the keeper and ten young men enyaged im gaming. Some of them occupied respectable positions. They were summarily fined $50 each and severely lectur- ed in tne bargain, the magistrate telling them ‘‘that of all the vices, gambling was the worst, and that it should be put down with a strong hand. A man who gambled for money could not be strictly honest at heart, and he should be ostracised from respectable society.”

Drownep.--A young man named Alex- ander Steele, mate of the brigantine ‘‘ Wil- liam,” was drownei off Panmure Island on Fiilay evening. While fishing the vessel’s anchor he accidentally fell overboard. A board was thrown to assist him in floating. This he caught hold of, but it is omppoced the vessel, whsch was under way, struck him and thus he sank. The unfortunate young man belongs to Georgetown and was brother of Capt. Angus Steele, who was lost in the ‘* Gypsy Bride” off Rollo Bay, in the fall of

77.

Tue following from Sir A. T. Galt’s Ottawa speech, puts the trade question in a nutshell : “It was idle to think of throwing open our markets to other countries, whose markets are not thrown open to us, and from his own recent observations in England he was certain that even there a great change is coming over public opinion on that question. He did not care for abstract notions of political economy, so far as that subject was concerned. Asa practical man, who had all his life watched the trade and commerce of this country he said that if we permit the producers of other uations to come in here free, while they tax our products going into their markets, they will grow rich, and we will continue to be

poor,”

Pur 1n tHe Pee.—A certain Stipendiary and Recorder who administers the law not very far from the Dartmouth Asylum, re- cently sat in judgment on the great un- washed towed in the previous evening by the Sarmaritan eflicers of the law. Among the motley crew was a shoemaker, whose nervous twitch indicated a long continued debauch. ‘Well, sir, what brought you here,” said the Stipendiary. ‘*Whiskey, your Worship,” was the reply, and he wiped away a silent tear that trickled down his wan cheek. The magis- trate looked at him for a moment, and was about reading him a lecture on the moral law, when the penitent knight of the awl broke forth, ‘‘If you let me go this time, your honor, ‘‘I’ll put in the peg.” His Honor soft- ened,and said, ‘‘You may go,but bring me up the document to-morrow morning.’”” When the curtain went up at next day’s court the shoemaker was called. ‘‘Here (hic) yer Honor,” responded a squeaky veice in the corner, and presently a little man, with diffi- culty, made his way to the dock. ‘Did you keep your promise, sir, said the magistrate, ‘Yes, yer Honor,” replied the shoemaker, producing a piece of sole leather nore in it. ‘The dignity of the court was disturbed for a moment, and then the fanny man was piloted to his ‘‘dungeon cell” for three days—Halifax Heraid.

Tue Toronto Telegram, referring to the fact thit Sir John McDonald owes much of his success in puclic life to his personal magnet- ism, and to his admirable social qualities, thus illustrates its point :—‘‘It seems that at the ‘‘banquet it was difficult to hear aim; so he * mounted a table and made bis speech from *‘the top of it. There is nothing odd in that, ‘so far as Sir John is concerned, because “everybody knows his genial disposition and “thappy ways. But could you conceive of a ‘British Prime Minister doing the same thing ‘or even Mr. Blake?” There is only one mis- fortune about this illustration : itis not true. Sir John did not mount a table and make a Speech from it. He took his position ona po at the side of a building, just as Sir

onard Tilley, Sir Charles Tupper and Sir

Alexander Galt did, when they spoke. It is

& pity to spoil so good a story ; but the truth compels us to do so,— Montreal Gazette,

THE ANALYTICAL SANITARY INSTITUTION, 54, Holborn-viaduct, E. C., London, Aug. 18, 1879, report on the ‘‘ Lorne Highland Whis- key ” of Messrs. Greenlees Brothers:—

*“We have visited the bottling stores of Messrs. Greenlees Brothers, at Gresham- buildings, London, and have selected from the vats, samples of their Lorne Highland Whis- key, and have subjected them to careful ex- amination and analysis. The samples were pale, showing their freedom from added color- ing matter, very fragrant, mellow and of pleasant flavor ; in fact, they possessed all th characteristics of pure and _ well-matured Scotch Whiskey of the first qualtiy.” .
