The Perth organ difficulty was again taken up, and a motion, made by Rey. My. Laing, to the effect that after the committee to whom the matter was referred come to a finding, the parties should be notified, so as to avail themselves of the right, if they saw fit, to be heard before the Assembly, was adopted. '

The annual report of the directors of the Brantford Ladies’ College was presented, showing that 84 students had been in at- tendance during the year. The report was received, and the following directors for the ensuing year nominated by the Assem- bly : Messrs. Alex. Robertson, Wm. Watt, T. McLean, R. Henry, Adam Spence, Wm. Grant, ©. B. Heyed, W. McIntosh, J. Sutherland, R. Russell, Dr. Wm. Nichol and Dr. Cochrane. :

The question of the formation of the new Prosbyteries of Huron, Bruce, Stratford and Saugeen, was then taken up and re- ferred to a committee to report upon.

Complaint was made by some of the Synods against the provisions of the On- tario Act, relating to burials, and a resolu- tion sustaining the Synods, which had taken action in the matter, was passed.

A report left over from last year, on the subject of the ordination of Roman Cathelic priests, was under consideration at one o'clock, when the Assembly rose for recess,

The principal guarantees proposed by the Government bill for the return of the Chainbers to Paris are the maintenance of a special legion of gendarmes ; the author- ization of summary proceeding for the dis- persion of crowds within a certain distance of the Chambers, and the prohibition of bearing petitions to the Chambers by pro- cessions.

The Minister of Justice has communicat- ed to the Senatorial Committee the Gov- ernment’s bill providing guarantees for the maintenance of order, etc., in case of the return of the Chambers to Paris. Not- withstanding the Government presented the bill, the Committe decided by a vote to adhere to their decision to report against the return of the Legislature to Paris.

To the Editor of the Examiner. Srr,—I notice in your issie of the 10th) a letter from a City Councillor on city mat- ; ters particularly on a speech (published in | a previous number) of the junior member | for the City, which—unexplained as stated | by ‘City Councillor’—is calculated te do | much harm as it is calculated to increase a feeling which most unfortunately appears to have got a footing, viz., of hostility to the citizens on the part of our country friends. This as ‘‘City Councillor” put it, is most unnatural. Their relation onght to be of quite an opposite character and of the best kind. The one produces supplies for our market ; the others are the purchasers and and consumers. I think much more might be said on which ‘‘City Councillor” wrote ; for I think I neticed in one of your papers, probably the one t. which ‘‘City Councillor’ alluded, to a speech from the Premier himself in which he states in reference to the continuation of the bill called the Tax curse, that next year he in- tends to introduce an act to apply to the City as wellas the country districts. Taxing allalike. ‘‘No citizen” will, I imagine, ob- ject to this, if it be necessary, as Mr. Sul- livan states, to continue the tax at all. But

certainly the City ought not to be taxed} ~

at all unless, indeed, as Mr. McLeod put it, it got its full share of the Provincial

revenue. In this, Mr. Mciueod was quite right. But when he stated that Charlotte-

town only got $7,000 a year, how Mr. Mc-

Leod could make such an admission I can-

not imagine, unless the Grits have been

more generous or, indeed. became more

honest to the city than their predecessors.

In my time the city got nothing from the

Provincial revenue, although numbering,

possibly, an eighth of the population from

which the revenue is raised, and from

which the subsidy is paid te this Province

by the terms of Confederatien. But, al-

though our number may only be an eighth,

we, possibly, being larger consumers, raise

quite a fourth. Where Mr. McLeod got his figures from, I cannot tell, As I said. before, in my time,—and I believe it is still the same,—the city got nothing but the paltry grant of $650, in accordance with an arrangement made with the then existing Government by myself and ethers—then of the City Council—in reply to our applica- tion to the Government to repeal the section of the charter of the city which prevented

the City Council from assessing the Govern-

ment property equaily with the property of citizens—-it being admitted that, as the Gevernment property was equally protected

with the property of citizens by.that un-

necessarily expensive institution,—the Fire Department,-—that the Government ought to contribute to upholding that Department, and hence arose that grant of $650 from the Provincial funds to the Fire Department of the city. I notice that your correspendent ‘* City Councillor ” in his letter states that the Government of the day madea bad bargain on the occasion alluded to. He must have meant that the Government made a hard bargain, which they certainty did, with the Committee of the Council; for, at that time, the Government would have had to pay on the public property, if taxed equally with citizens, probably quite’ three times the amount; and now a much larger amount. When you look at the annual value of the property held by the Government, viz: the Proyince Building, the Law Courts, the Prince of Wales Col- lege, Normal School, the Jail, the Luwetiz Asylum and cther public builidings, these, if assessed as the citizens’ own dwellings are assessed, would yield, under present law, neatly $3,000.

Possibly the statement of City Councillor that the Government made a bad bargain with the Committee of Council, on the oc- casion referred to, was a misprint or a blunder of your type-setter; for, at 10 or 12 cents to the dollar on the assessed value of the buildings enumeraied above, it would exceed the sum stated by me. I would re- mark that, in years gone by, the Provincial Government did contribute towards the im- provements of the city—small grants to the building of the Market House, Engine House, purchase of Engines and other smal sums; but no amount of any account, except £2,000, a memento of the day swhen the pre- sent Minister of Marine was member for the City and Premier; but this and all other sums put together would fall far short of the share of the citizens, if they ever got a

share in proportion to numbers. But, as stated above, they were en- titled to a much =Iarger§ amount

for the reasons stated that they were, and are, much larger consumers of the goods from which revenue is raised. [ am, dear Sir, Yours, An Op CovNcILior.

June 16, 1879.

P. S.—Your correspondent ‘City Coun- cillor,” I noticed, expr-ssed a Wish that Mr. McLeod should, i: his place in Par- liament, by his own vord, endeavor to remove the impression that his speech al- Inded to was calculated to make on the country people that the city was drawing yearly from the public funds $7,000 for it is calculated te increase the sectional feel-

| ing against the city. He cannot now do so

in Parliament; but he could soin your aper over his own signature, which will

just be as good. Yours, ete,, A. 9. &,

AROMATIC MONTSERRAT |

QUININE CORDIAL

which is a combination of Pure Quinine, (4 with Lime Fruit Juice, cordialised by the addition of Aromatics, but

ENTIRELY FREE FROM ALCOHOL.

Upon the medicinal virtues of Lime Juice anc Quinine it is unnecessary to dilate. The combination of two agents of such universally acknowledged value, in at once a palatable and innocnous form, has been a disideratum long sought, but only nowsuccessfully aceetapished; for although the J'oni¢ ane “uies of Quinine have been populares” in the form of QUININE WINES, it is weli known these combinations have been attended with serious evils conse- quent upon the Alcoholic Stimulants they all contain, at once prejudicial to health and de- moralising in their tendency.

Aromatic Montserrat Quinine Cordial is guar- anteed to contain one grain of Quinine in each wineylassful, and to be entirely free from ai- cohol, being prepared solely from the Mont- serrat Lime Fruit Juice combined with Aro- matics,
