But as in all other articles of commerce, there is great depression in the trade. I have been informed that one Jarge firin, doing business here, has not sold the oil made last spring. However, they. have sent out again, hoping that some call will no doubt be made for seal oil.
The interest of the first arrival ceptred on the steamship Proteus, Capt. R. Pike, which arrived Friday, March 28th. It was not merely her arrival, but the report of other vessels that made the first sealer so welcome. The following vessels have ar- rived up to the present, with their cargoes of seals :—
S. S. Proteus, 12,000 hood-seals.

Prince Edward Island and Ontario.
(From the Toronto Mail.)
During the tariff debate the Opposition speakers have been loud in their declaration that the people of the Island are bitterly hostile to the new policy, and were not slow to prophesy that this would be proved at the first opportunity, meaning, of course, the Local elections. The object of this particular move in the game was strictly personal, and all the rhetoric wasted on the subject had for its target, Mr. Pope, Min- ister of Marine and Fisheries. The Local contest is over, and, much to the chagrin of the Opposition, the Conservatives have gained so overwhelming 2 triumph that their adversaries, at the last advices, are not likely to number more than half a dozen at most, or one-fifth of the House. Mr. Pope, as a sufficient reply to the as- sanlts made upon him asa mis-representative of his Province, announced, in the course of his address, the result of the contest so faras had been ascertained. Mr. McKenzie at once rose up, boiling over with the anger of disappointment, and ‘*felt bound to say” —though he was in fact bound by the rules of order to say nothing—that this was ‘“‘the first time he had ever heard such an an- nouncement in this Parliament.” Surely this was riding the high horse with a ven- geance. The Minister’s words, which gave rise to so unseemly an ebuillition of rage, were simply these, and they were ex- cusable, if excuse were necessary, on ac- count of the virulent attacks made upon him: ‘‘He was happy to say that the Local Conservative Government who supported the National Policy, had been returned by
25 to 5.” That surely was taking a mild revenge for the savage assaults made upon him during the session. In fact, it would puzzle even the ex- Premier to explain vor 2 oe wrong in point of etiquette-—upon
which, by the way, he is a great au- thority now—for a Minister to refer to the state of public opinion in his Province, especially when he has been challenged on the point, althongh a private member may do the same thing without rebuke. We venture to say that neither ‘‘ good taste” | nor anything else would restrain Mr. Mac- ikenzie from triumphing, in loud and ex- ultant tones, over a reversal of the Septem- ber verdict in Ontario. It was unfortunate at all events, that he should so far have

And so we find the San Fran- cisco ‘** Post” saying :-—
‘** The Dominion of Canada and the Ger: man Empire are legislating against Ameri- can manufactures and products. We can- not afford to complain. What is good for American industries cannot be bad for Canadian and German; but it oceurs to us that if all the world were to follow cur ex- ample, and adopt a strictly protective tariff, our exports would sensibly diminish except in the products of the field and orchard. Our workshops and factories would be left to supply the home market only. Is it not time to challenge universal reciprocity by a strictly revenue tariff ?”
Miscellaneous Wows:
Navigation is open at Toronto.
It is proposed to establish a sugar re- finery in Toronto.
A great deal of suffering has existed in Labrador during the past winter.
There are sixty vessels in the Welland Canal awaiting the opening of navigation.
It is said that the English sparrows in immense numbers are migrating westward.
The City of Glasgow Bank liquidators have declared a call for £2,250 on each £100 share.
Sir Francis Hincks denies the rumor that he is going to England in the interest of the Lieutenant Governor of Quebec.
A father was on the bench as judge, and his son at the bar as prisoner, at a Cleve- land court.
Further developments leave little doubt that the Ottawa missing man, Thomas Vin- cent, has committed suicide.
Five ambitious dogs chased wolves in Sauk County, Wisconsin. The dogs bones were found on the following day.
Among Boston’s April fools were eighteen insurance men, who went to the Parker House, arrayed in evening dress, to eat an imaginary dinner.
There are at present some two hundred and sixty-eight medical students in Toronto attending the examinations going on at the Toronto University.
Mrs. Madden, aged 80 years, of Hamil- ton, was burned to death on the evenmg of the 9th inst., by her clothes taking fire from a lamp explosion.
The Pulman Palace Car Company has 24 sleeping and hotel cars in England. Aito- gether in Europe and America, it has 800 cars, of an average value of $14,000 each, or a total of $11,200,000. The first Pul- man car was built 20 years ago, and was run on the Chicago and Alton Railway.
The Chicago Inter-Ocean says there are now nearly 12,000,000 bushels in their ele- vators, and expresses a hope that the navi- gation of the Straits were open, for the railroads are lugging off the grain. faster than it arrives. Then there are 4,000,000 bushels at Milwaukee, which will keep for vessels.
A keg of gold amounting to $12,000 was lately recovered from a mill pond, where it had been hidden for fourteen years: A guide that was with Jeff. Davis when he was making his flight throngh Georgia de- serted the party on arriving in Wilkes County, stole the keg of money and rolled it into the pond. Onhis deathbed at the penitentiary where he was soon afterwards sent, he disclosed the locality of the trea- sure.
A letter just received from Natastquan Point, on the Labrador coast, states that the first snow fell there on the 16th December, in small quantity. Really cold weather was not experienced till between the 12th and 25th of January, but it was nevertheless mild in com-
