The Indian Deficit

ENGLIsa papers received by the last mail

express great indignation at j 5 ; : c rthag sy ° covered deficit in the Indian exchequer ;

and it is well for the late Ministry that

they have cleared their skirts of Protesser |

Faweett’s chargo that they knew of it pre- vious to the elections. It appears that the Indian Cevernment calculated the cost of the Afghan war at half the actual figure. In defence it ia urged that the cost of trans sport, of the maintenance of the army, the increase in the price of provisions and the pay of camp followers on foreign service, and the oxpense attending the construction of defensive works to enable the troops to hold the positiens they had won,had thrown out the astute financiers of Calcutta. On the other hand it is urged that there was all the experience of tlie previous cam paign to teach them. A commission of

enquiry is talked of ; and it is predicted that the delinquents will treatinen t.

Within the Arctic seas, Captain Hooper is to make every en- deavor to find and relieve the whalers “Virgilaat” and ‘Mount Woeolasien,” which were caught in the ice last year; he is to endeavor to communicate with the ‘Jeannette’ or obtain intelligence of where and how she wintered, aud of her present probable whereabouts ; and he is to do some exploration en his own account, as he is especial y directed to study the tides, cur- ants and soundings of any part of the Arctic seas in which he may sail. he is to investigate the reports of the whole- gale starving of the peeple of St. Lawrences Island.

Cattie Shipments to England.

— ’ ' 7 ; me (s rom the St. John l elegie ph }

The shipping of beef cattle from Ameri- ca to the British markets is just becoming a very large and profitable branch of trade, and of this business Canada is already doing a very considerable share. in consequence of its great distance from England, is, of course, unable tu send live cattle to that country, and the frozen meat which ii sends has to be sold immediately on its arrival and caunot be kept untila market offers as in the case with live cattle. For titis reason, if for neo other, it is be- lieved that Australia will never be a dan- gerous competitor. with America in tins trade; and even in dead meat, this contin- ent has every advantage over Australia, and must have for many years to come. A project bas been moeied for the send- ing ef American cattle to Hngland for the purpose of being fed and fattened there, but this finds little favor from such intelli- gent newspapers as the “* Live Stock Jour-

Australia,

ovale

nal,” which predicts that it would not pay. Indeed this must be evident te all

who re:vember that the main reason why cattle can be raised in America more cheaply than in England 1s because their food is cheaper. it is found in practice by shippers both in the United States and Canada, that the most pretitable catile te ship to England are those of the best grades The Durham cattle bring the highest price fer beef in England, butchers prefer. ring them on account of the large quantity of first ,class mieat they can cut from the carcase. Common native cattle are esti- mated to have fully one-third less meat than Durhams, and are therefore so much the less profitable. The impression which prevails among maty farmers that it re- quires better food to fatten therough-bred cattle than common steck appears to be an erroneous one, the very reverse being the case. The Canadian expert of cattle, which is alraady large, is likely to increase greatly this year, cattle from tne Dominion having the important advantage over those from the United States, for cattle from the latter country have to be slaughtered on their arrival atthe port of debarkation, while Canada cattle can be kept at pasture until they are required. This is owing te the absence of disease from Canadion herds, and it is te be hoped that this immunity from disease will centinue to operate in our favor. ‘The ship- mento! Canadian sheep to England is also becoming a large trade. Last year 75,000 were scut from Ontario alone and this year that wamber will probably be more than doublet. The breeds most fancied are the Cotswold and Leicester, because they preduce the heaviest weights and mature most rapidly. Intense Heat in the United Stater

Mr. Vennor Again.

Mr. Henry G. Vennor comes forward again with his direful predictions of sterms, cold; ete. His letter is dated Mon- treal, and init he says: ‘‘1 believe that June will be an intensely hot month on the whole, bnt the end of the present month, and probably the Ist of June, will be -fall- like with frosts again. July will be a ter- rible month for storms, with terms of in- tense heat, but another fall-like relapse, with frosts, will, in all probability, occur a few days befere the 20th. I fear the storins of thunder and hail will be of un- usual severity during July. I must claim the verification of my predictions relative) to a cold wave, with frosts, over a large portion of the United States, between the Oth and 15th ef May. The relapse towards the close of the present month will be more severe than that just passed.”

Lord Granville’s Ghost.

heat,

The Granville ghostshas puzzled Profes- sor T'yndall. During the session {that ter- minated so abruptly last month, Lord Granville was often observed to be gazing in an abstracted manner at the wall eppo site his seat in the House of Lords ; and on more than one occasion while he was speak- ing he came to a dead stop for a moment or two and looked earnestly at the point in question before resuming. It has gradu- ally leaked out that the cause of this was the apparition of a caseinent in the wall with a shadow form, as of a lady, sitting at the window with her elbow on the sill and her head resting on her hand. The arm and face were always very distinct, the} former being adorned with a bracelet,’

in which @& magnificent diamond . star flashed brightly, and the latter, a singularly beautiful countenance, being

characterized by an _ expression of unutterable sadness. Ail hypothes’s of disordered vision or unconscious cerebration” have failed to explain the phenomenon ; for, as Lord Granvile is per- fectly free from aspirations outside the House of Lords, it is evident the ‘‘ghest,” has to do with the locality rather than with the persen. Professor Tyndall has been applied te and has avowed his determination te clear up the mystery, bat hitherto all investigations have proved tnayailin g.
