Senator Bayard’s resolution does not too strongly express the sentiment of the American people, in view of these late oper ations of the miscreants who have resorted to dynamite as the weapon of their warfare We trust it will be unanimously adopted by the senate after such deliberation as will add emphasis to the action. Senator Edmunds did well to introduce promptly the bill, which he produced from his desk on Saturday,even if it is not yet perfected. a measure in behalf of Enuland or Englishmen; but it is a measure uow demanded of America by common humanity. Let it be perfected and become a law without necessary delay, so that these foes of all honor and all rights and all gov- ernment and ail religion shall be uuder the ban of the statates of the republic. They deserve no favor and no commiseration. Within a few days the papers have told the story of the discovery of an association for sssassination in an obscure neighborhood in Florida, and the country has been shocked y the revelation. It is likely to be broken up. Butthere existsin New York, with ramifications extending all over the land, a more wicked, more powerful, more danger- ous association of assassins, whose principal work, to be sure, is abroad; but which, as a recent occurrence shows, will net hesitate to plot and execute murders in New York city, if so it can serve its ends. it is high time we had a jaw which wil! affix a brand on the men who are degrading the idea of patriotism by making it a cover for the worst of crimes,

The Tables Omitted.

Tue Patriot informs its readers that the tables showing the percentage of duty paid by each Province upon goods entered for cousumption, the amount of Customs’ taxation paid by each Province per head of its population, and the per- centage paid for collection in each Prov- ince have this year ail been omitted from the re:urns of Trade and Naviga- tion though they are given in the reports of ali previous years. The omission is, no doubt, a result of the protests entered by Tue Examiner and other journals. The tables referred to were necessarily unfair aud misleading. For ins.:ance,we ia this Proviaoce buy a large proportion of our dutiable goods in Montreal, Hali- fax and St. Joho after they have been entered atthe Custom Houses in those cities. The consequence was that ac. cording te the tables which have been omitted, it appeared that our people pay asmaller percentage of duty and bear jess of the burden of taxation than those of the other Provinces ; aud on the other hand the Province of Quebec, whose people really cousume a smaller percent- age of dutiable goods than those of ovy other Proviuce csedited with the largest percentage and appeared to be bearing the heaviest taxation. The un- fairness of these tables was manifest to every one who examined them--except the Patriot, and that is, we have no doubt, the reason why they have becn withdrawn.

sei holeeihlanitaiitininasialanin Winter Communication.

THE very interesting account of winter communication given by Captaio Irving to THe Examiner has no mention of Mr. Smith who carried the mails fo: years by way of Wood Islands. Here are some items from the P. EK. Island Register for the year 1826. The Mr. Smith reterred to was, it may be re- marked, the father of our respected fellow citizen, H. B. Smith, of the Dominion House. The following is iuder date of Feb. 7th, 1826:

‘Mr. Smith left town on Friday for Wood Islands, for the purpose of making the arduous attempt to cross from thence to Pictou with the mails.”

It appears Mr. Smith was successful, for in his issue of the 14th February the editor says ;

‘* Just as our paper was going to press, Mr. Smith arrived via Wood Islands with the Eoglish December mail, and Halifax letters and papers to the 8th inst.”

There appears to have been weekly mails until Mareh 14th, at which time the editor wrote an article on winter communication—the only original matter in the paper. Here it is:

** The courier with the mails for Pictou left town on Thursday morning, bot was prevented from crossing the Strait by the accumulation of new formed ice on our shores. He made an attempt to cross yes- terday, but was obliged to abandon the attempt, aud returned to town this after- noon

The next reference is oa April 4th, when the following aunouucemert is made ;—

; and

We find no further reference to Mr.

to have arrived with tolerable regularity. |

| Oo January 30th, 1827, the editor says 'that the latest accounts from Wood Islands are down to Frilay, at which | time Mr. Smith was still there. On}

February 6th the anuouw cement is made hat Mr. Smith arrived with English aud Colonial mails. The following is a: interesting piece of information from the |

‘“*It having been ceemed desirable t scertain whether the present winter route of the mails, or that by way of Cap lraverse, is to have the preference on the score of expedition, a aespatel d by the latter route on & wurday tor the purpose of crossing to Cape Tor- ment. He is directed to proceed from thence to Amherst with a letter to the Postmaster at that place, with an answer to which he will make the best of his way back. Mr. Smith proceeded with the mails by the usual route on Sunday morn- ing, and their return will serve to deter- ming the disputed point as to which is the

messenver wat

Under date of February 27h, the an- nouncement is made that Mr. Smith arrived with Eoglish and Colonial mails oo the previous Sunday. Nothing is said about the man who weut by the | Capes route. |

Oo Mareh 13th, Mr. Smith arrived with the mails from Pie ou, having crossed the Straits the day previous.

On April 3rd the following appears :—

‘ Yesterday morning our active courier, Me. Smith, arrived from Pictou, which place he left on Friday last.’

It appears that Mr. Smith made the! trips alone aud on foot. ‘The energy, strength and daring of the mau wonderful.

~We learo that a requisition, signed by a large number of citizens, was pre sented to His Worship, Mayor Beer, this afternoon, asking him to call a meeting to take into consideration the very in- adequate aud iveflicient means at present provided for communication with the maiuland in the winter season. His Worship’s notice calling the meeting, will doubtless appear in to-morrow’s issue. We trust that this important meeting, which, no doubt, will be very largely at- teaded, will be non-political, and that the crossing at the Capes will form the priuvcipal subject of discussion.

—It is not surprising that the Patriot is suggesting windmills and _ other Quixotic notions to the City Council as means of obtaining a water supply. The Patriot bas an atlinity to wind.

Musical.

Owing to the very stormy weather the audience ihat assembied at the Y. M. C. A. Hall last evening was smaller than one might hope to see; but notwithstanding that and other disadvantages, such as a miserably lighted and very chabbily tur- nished Hall, the different selections were rendered in a style only to be reached under the ekilful and painstaking directorate of Messrs. Earle and Vinnicomhe. At any time it is only necessary that the names of these gentlemen appear on a programme to insure to the public a rare musical treat, and the Concert last evening was by no means an exception. The Orchestral Club have certainly reached a high standard of proficiency, and their rendition of the different difficult pieces was very fine in- deed. Mr. Earle’s Glee Club acquitted themselves in a manner highly creditable to them, and puts it beyond question that we have in our midst lots of musical talent, which oply requires time and effort on the part of instructor and pupils to make per- ‘ect. Miss Bourke sang ‘ Kerry Dance ”’ very well indeed, although it is not as well snited to her voice as some pieces we have heard her sing. Mrs. Roome sang ‘Caller Herrin,’ which elicited a loud encore, to which she responded by singing “ Sailing,” for which her rich and powerful voice is admirably suited. Prof Caven’s bass solo was siinply grand, and was sung with fault- less precision. Mr. Hermans’ solo, ‘When the Swallows,” was well sung. Mr. Viunivombe’s violin solo was perfection itself, ard Mr. Fletcher's cornet solo could

not well have been improved upon. Alto- gether the programme throughout was

rendered in excellent style ; and from the

PHREGS OF THE MINE,

at Vale Collicry.

Hauirax, N. S., Feb. 10

An explosion occurred at Westville, at 9 o'clock to-night, but owing to the greatly demoralized state of the telegraph wires, caused by heavy suow, it is impossible to any but the most meagre particvlars, From what can be learned from New Glasgow, seven miles from the mines, in the intervals of uninterrupted communication, it appears that an explosion took place in what 1s known as the old pit. ts severity has not been ascertained. It is believed in New Glasgow that there were

ootain

only about fifteen men in the pit at the time, but whether they are safe or not is unknown, The wild-

‘st rumors are afloat in the city, and it is reported by a passenger in the incoming train, that there were abouta hundred in the mine, but no foundation for the truth of this report can be discovered.

A Large Reinforcement.

Lonpon, Feb. 10.

[t is understood that orders were given during yesterday's session of the Cabinet for the despatch of 10,000 troops for the reinfoureemet of the army in the Soudan.

The otfers of oflicers to volunteer for service are increasing daily.

The Campaign. Lonpon, Feb. 10, Military experts are of opinion that the campaign will lasteighteen months. Major General Newdigate has been suddenly sum: moned to London from Dover in connection with the Soudan expedition. Major General Greavis will also receive an important com- mand in the expedition. Policy of the Conservatives. Lonpon, Feb. 10, The Marguis of Salisbury will return to London on Thursday. He has called a meeting of leading Tories to consider what line of action to adopt in the coming session of Parliament, The ‘‘ Times” on the Situation. Lonpon, Feb. 10. The Times will support the largest mea- sure of the Government to retrieve Eug- land’s position in the Soudan, but will move for the appointment of a committee of enquiry into the responsibility of the despatch of the Nile expedition.

What Wolseley’s Friends State.

Lonpon, Feb 10.

Gen. Wolseley’s friends state he under- took the Nile route against his own opinion which was in favor or the Suakin and Berber routes, and that the Government, for the purpose of economy, broke its promise to supply the number of troops for which he asked.

Parliamentary Proceedings Ortawa, Feb 10.

In the Commons to day a large number of petitions were presented, favoring the Scott Act.

Mr. White, Renfrew, introduced a measure to amend the Patent Act, 1872, to pretect parties who inuocently pur- chased infringed patents.

This afternoon Sir John moved his reso- lutions respecting the appointment of a chairman of committees, stating the neces- sity for such an cfficer was felt in the English Parliament and in the Australian Legislatures.

Blake obj-cted that the question should have been referred to a committee for examination and accordingly moved an amendment to Sir John’s motion. The House divided, when there appeared for Hlake’s amendment 59, against it. 121.

Blake in his speech had said there should be two deputies, one French and one Eng- lish, and that they should consider the henor enough reward.

Royal moved in amendment to the main motion after Blake’s was defeated, that the member elected chairman of committees

Sir John expiained that his purpose was to bring in a bill stating that the resolutions had become standing orders, and would need a bill to give them life and authority. He accordingly introduced the bill.
