Tue annual meeting of the ratepayers of the town of Pictou was held on Monday.

We greatiy regret the failure of J. W. Hughes, Esq., the County Line Station mer- chant. Mr. Hughes battled along bravely during the five years of bankruptcy through which we have ed; and it seems hard that he should have been forced into insol- veucy just as better times are about to dawn. Mr. Hayhes’ liabilities are under $8000; and we learn that in taking advantage of the In- solvent Act, he has preserved his high char- acter for honorable dealing. He did the best he could under the unfortunate circum- stances by which he was surrounded, and in whieh he became involved.

Uitawa and Foreign News. ¥ Orrawa, May 1. On the item of Dominion steamers, Sir Albert | Smith expressed the hope that provision would | be made, in the supplementary estimates, for |

the Cape Tormentine Kailway; and asked what | was to be done with the Northern Light.

The Minister of Marine said he hoped to see railway connection with the Cape, and a suit- able steamer in connection with Ice Boats, carrying mails and passengers.

It had not been decided what was to be done | with the Northern Light. She was unfit for the service, and it would be profitable to give her away and save expenses of conditional re: pairs. Sir Albert said the Northern Light was built | in accordance with the agreement entered into | at the Unien to maintain steam communica- | tion. She was said by witnesses to have been: wonderfully well built; and it had been

eo that steam communication ceuld not

xe kept upall winter. The railway to the

Cape was necessary, and he hoped to see it

built. :

Mr. Hackett said he trusted the Govern- ment would place $500,000 or $600,000 in the estimates for the Cape Railway and Strait navigation.

Lonvoy, April 1.

The Daily Telegraph says that further ob- stacles to the proseeution of the Pouyer- Quertier Trans-Atlantic Cable scheme have arisen in the shape of a protest by William Cornell Jerrett, who claims to have been the real originator of the project. He declares that any organization such as these will be in- operative without his consent. The right they claim to lay cables by the route named from England and France is wholly worthless; that whatever concession they may hold from the French Government cannot enable them to lay a cable to the United States, as the Gov- ernment of the latter have determined that no cable from France can be landed under a sec- ond concession from foreigners, and that his purpose will be to establish his right.
