CANADIAN, Monrreat, Nov. 21.

An action for $10,000 damages has been entered in their Superior Court by Francis Kdward Gilman, Advocate, against the pro- prietors of the Witness for alleged libel in an item respecting the tearing out of a leaf in the Mechanics’ Bank transfer book.

The appearance of the port to-day was in dismal contrast to that presented only two or three weeks ago. All steamships have left for sea, except the Barnard Castle, the Bellona, and Valetta ; the last of the Allan Line having departed yesterday. It is not likely the Barnard Castle will get away be- fore Sunday, while it is more than probable the Cellona will be obliged to remain until Monday, as she is waiting for a cargo of grain which is on its way down the canal and is expected in the city to-night. Ship- pers are paying the owners heavy demur- rage for delays. The Harbor Commission- ers are working on the wharf extension night and day, to get it completed before the ice is fastened. An electric light is used by the men at night. :

Kunasron, Nov. 21.

The steam varge ‘‘ Lothair,” with barley from Wellington to’Chicago, ran into the harbor here tiis morning completely cover- ed with ice. She barge “‘ Corisand,” on account of the severity of the gale, had to be abandoned by the ‘‘ L.” to save herself. Navigation will elese shortly if the cold weather keeps up. Itis now10° to 20° below zero.

Geo. Von Chauvin and Baron de Cam- brey are here in connection with the Direct French Cable Co., and yesterday had an interview with the Premier concerning landing in Canada.

Messrs. (Alderman) Stewart and Stra- chan of this city, are said to be lowest ten- derers for Welland Canal work, and not Messrs. Stewart & Stanton.

IRELAND.

Lonpon, Nov. 21.3%

Many Irish landlords are leaving the country under threats of assassination. The Government is determined to put strong measures in force to maintain pub- lic order.

Parnell dees not think his arrest ‘prob- able. Reports have been circulated that the frish and English legal advisers of the Government differ as to the advisability of auch astep. Two companies of soldiers have arrived at Boyle en route to Balla, to be in readiness in the event of a disturb- anee at the forthcoming meeting. They de- clare that the Government wish to provoke collision.

The Irish arrests continue te be the leading topic of interest. The “Times” thinks there is every reason to believe that a timely display of firmness will extinguish any really mischievous element in the anti- reut agitation.

The ‘‘Times’” correspondents report— from Glasgow, there is intense excitement amongst the Home Rulers—from Liverpool, great interest but no excitement—from Limerick, considerable dismay and con- cern—from Dublin, one reporter says, ‘*the excitement is only equalled by that pre- vailing during the Fenian rising.

CONDENSED DESPATCHES.

On the night of the 16th, a violent storm burst over Odessa, causing enormous dam- age. Several ships were sunk in the har- ber and naval establishments suffered sey- erly.

The “Mayor of Cienfusgos telegraphed that an Official despatch from Sant& Clara announees that the troops have killed the insurgent Chief Nunez and made a prisoner of another Chief, name unknown.

The refusal by the Court of the applica- tion by Labouchere for a mandamus will be followed by his incarceration.

Gortschakoff is very ill, with slight hopes of recovery.

The Papal Nuncio to Belgium has been stopped on the way to Brussels by counter orders, fresh difficulties being anticipated by the discovery that the Papal Secretary of State has been using one language officially to the Belgian Ministry, and an- other privately to the Bishops.

Several members uf the Turkish Cabinet have expressed disapprobation at the violent tone of the Turkish press towards England. |

Sir Leonard Tilley at Brantford A BANQUET IN HIS HONOR.

Some Extracts from His Speech on the Occasion.

On Monday evening last, the citizens of Brantford (Ont.,) with the Mayor presid- ing, entertained the Finance Minister at a Banquet. It is reported that ‘ around the table were assembled representative men of every class, of every creed, of every party.” In reply to an enthusiastic his honor, Sir Leonard adverted to the fact that he has been constantly engaged in public duties, since 1850, acknowledged ‘the honor~accorded him by the Corporation and citizens of Brantford, as well as the special comple- ment of havingthe banquet on strictly tem- perance principles, repudiated the idea that his enquiries into the industries of the coun- try have a political or party bearing, and

}. continued :—

I have visited, sir, that great manufac- turing eentre, Montreal. I visited it on the 24th of May last, and had some com- munication with gentlemen engaged in trade there. I visited it again two or three weeks ago, and 1 can only say this, that

A MORE REMARKABLE CHANGE

in the condition of a city in so short a time, I did not previously think it was possible to witness. (Applause.) I have not only visited Montreal recently, but I visited Toronto, Hamilton, St. Cathrines, Dundas, Oshawa, Galt, Guelph, Berlin and London, in each of which places I have seen evidences of returning presperiiy. eit Oe + * *

I know there is a great diversity of opinion as to the effect of the change made in the tariff; but before referring te that diversity you will perhaps pardon me if I make a few remarks as to

THER CAUSES,

which lead the Government to make these changes. Gentlemen between 1867 and 1873 we occupied a favored position. ; We occupied a erent position to that i occupied from 1873 to 1878, because during 4 that earlier period the circumstances of the neighboring Republie were such that we were onabled to compete with the industries and enterprises of that country. But from 1873 down, the whole state of affairs was changed. Frem 1873 labor became cheaper in the United States, the capital of that country was largely attracted to the extension of its manufacturing interests, i and while the manufacturers there soon fe began to compete to a certain extent with si even the manufacturers of Great Britain, . they placed their eye upon Canada as a country, the people ef which were to become their customers at all costs and hazards. I do not hesitate to say that had I been a public man in Great Britain at that time I would have looked upon free trade as the true policy for the Mother Country. And ; why! Because free trade as adopted by a Great Britain at that time was practical | protection to her industries. (Cheers.) If, for instance, England could have induced foreign nations to have followed her ex- | ample, nothing: could have benefitted her more. But, gentlemen, our position is dif- ferent to that which the Mother Country | then occupied, and, therefore, I hold a man might have been a free trader there and he might. consistently be a protectionist or . National Policy man in Canada to-day, t under OUR PECULIAR CIRCUMSTANCES. i Our circumstances were such between 1873 and 1878 that the current of our trade was ; changing. The trade that was largely car- ried on with Great Britain was declining, . and the imports from the United States . were increasing. If the United States had said to us, let us have reciprocity in certain articles, let us have free trade in certain articles, if they had been willing to. go back to the reciprocity of 1564 the country would have agreed to it, an evidence of which is te be found in the fact that at the last session of Parliament power was given to us to carry out that principle, to reduce the duties on certain articles coming into Canada if they would do the same on certain articles gving into the United States, or to take cer- tuin duties off altogether if they would do the same. Centlemen, as long as they say ‘* You shall have no aceess to our country or to eur markets;’ as long as they say ‘‘you cannot be admitted here upon any terms that are rational or reasonable,” we shall say, ‘* Very well, you have erected a Chinese wall around your country, we will not permit the gates to our country to re- main open to you to come in with your goods and drive our people away from us to seek employment in your country.” (Loud cheers.) I know some say we can get reci- procity in another way. The Reciprocity Treaty expired in 1865 ; unién took place in 1867 ; and we hope that by our not re- inposing, with a few exceptions, the duties upon the articles made free under the treaty, they would deal with us on liberal terms. We were anxious to see exactly whether kindness, liberality, whether a pol- icy that might beeonsidered exceedingly liberal towards them, would induce them to deal with us. Bat no Looking at what they considered their own interest,
