Mr. Davies says that the telegrams and letters of Sir John Macdonald were ** elec- tioneering dodges,” and that the Govern- ment have not acted sincerely in respect to the proposed tunnel. But it is a fact that the Government authorized and obtained several surveys at (he Capes. It is a fact, we believe, that they performed every that protise they ever made in respect to the tunnel. Besides, they had railways built te beth Capes, and they procered a splen- did steamer, for use in the meantime, into the bargain. Bat svppose they had not acted sincerely, would that be a very won-

The Oddfellows’ Concert. | March, 1838.

Tue concert given by the OddféHows in | the Lyceum last evening was well attended notwithstanding the disagreeable weather. The vocal solo *‘Alone in the Desert,” was so well sung by Rev. Mr. Livyd that he | had to respond to an encore, and Mr. | Brenner interpreted that sad and somewhat | an iynated tal .afLoid Lovel.”’ in a man that would have done credit to a profes- | sionel. The vocal duet by Messrs. L'oyd and Heartz was hardly up to expectation, and of the solos and choruses by tie) brethren the closing ode, ‘*Let Brotherly | Love Continue,” was decidedly the best rendered. The readings by Rev. Mr. Car- ruthers and Messrs. McNeill and Weeks, were ali good. Mr. Carruthers’ rendition of the “‘Leap Year Wooing” was excellent, and kept the audience in good bumor throughout. Mr. Weeks’ “Who Stuffed | the Owl,” was well read and received, and

-**the barber kept on shaving.” Mr. Mc- Neill told Sims’ story of **T'wo London Waifs” very patheticalty. Perhaps the gem of the evening, from a musical point of view, was Mr, Fletcher’s cornet solo. It was not too long, and was well played. The accompanists were Messrs. Hawley, Heartz, Lloyd and Earle, and it goes withcut say- ing that they gave every satisfaction. Some of the local hits in the Ethiopian sketch,

Rev, Mr. Brewer was to have given an address} Sut was un- able to be present, and tle song and chorus

‘Shamrock, Thistle and Rose,’ was omitted owing to the legth of the programme. Taken all in all, the concert was very successful, and the Oddfellows are deserving ol great credit for the work they are doing in the interest of the poor of the city. Had the weather not been so unfavorable, the Ly- ceum would have been filled, and the amount realized would have been mach larger. Asit was, the amount resled, clear of al! expenzes, was about $70.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. siete bcuets An Explanation

Srz,— Will you kihdly allow space for a few remarks en a notice, in your last issue, of the Prince of Wales College Debating Ciub. The ramarks of your correspondent are misleading as to the state of imorality in that insiitatlon. The majority was not ‘*so sweeping’ as one would be led to suppose. The fact is, that out of the 45 who voted, 49 were of the same nationality as the great poet under consideration. This explains nore clearly how the victory was won. Now, we aftirm, that had it not been for the frenzied eluquence of the speakers, who worked on the patriotism and national feelingsof their hearers, the smail majority of seven would have been the other way. We du not question for a moment the poetical genius of Robert Burns, but the topic under discussion was his lite and character, and this cannot be upheld and justified by pure-minded people. Forany one in bis sober senses to uphold immorality is to say, ‘** 1 would have done the same in like circumstances.” Many admitted that they voted for Burns because they could not see the *‘ national bard" ** left:’’ but did not at all counten- ance his life as a whole.

Here he got assis- tance, and soon got his wife safe at rest and old Sampson well cared for for the night.

Mr. Davies is appalled, utterly appalled, by the statement of the Lzader of the (xovernment in the Senate that the project of constructing a tunnel or subway was too expensive to be contemplated. Mr. Davies should remember—and take courage in the fact—that another ‘** Leader of the Govern- ment’ once said that it would exhaust the financial resources of the British Empire to build a railway around the northern shore of Lake Superior; and that the railway was uilt, not only around the Lake, but across the prairies and over the mountains, and the financial resources of Canada are not yet exhausted, but are, admittedly, ample to construct the proposed tunnel, The Lon. Mr. Abbot consulted the Eacyclopedia Britannica in respect to the cost of the severn Tunne!, and came to the conclusion that the tunnel to connect Prince Edward Isiand with the Maialand of Can- ada would be ‘*too expensive..” But Mr. Davies should not be cast down by this fact. He should call to mind the erroneous opinion of one whom he considers an infin- itely greater man.

Besides, there is strong ground for the belief that, notwithstanding Hon. Mr. Abbott's adverse talk, the Government have not abandoned the enterprise. Mr. Abbot himself promised at the cloze of the

Goldep, Elmo and many otbers, as they ippear on our streets. But we have not heard anything about a fine pair of horses which has been driven through our streets of late. This pair is owned by Mr. Nat DeCourcey, and they reflect much credit on the ewner. Mr. DeC, has the reputation vi being the only colored gentleman who has reared thoroughbred stock in this city, and he deserves more than passing remarks, We hear Mr. DeCourcey has been offered a bargain for these animals, which he has flatly refused. He intends to put the colt in the hands of a trainer this spring, and we understand that the animal will tigure at the next meeting of the Driving Park Association. Success to Brother DeCour- cey.
