Progress of Toronto.
Twenty-seven years ago, Sir Thos. Brassy remarked toa friend, ‘‘l do not see what it is that supports Toronto; she has no manufacturers and only a limited wholesale trade.” If he could come back to-day and see what is going on, the mystery would be cleared up. More than to anything else, Tvronto owes her present rapid progress to the planting and growth of new manufac- tures. The increase of population, for the last two years, has been at the rate of five thousand a year; this year, if we count the suburbs, which form part of the city in everything but in name, these figures will be far exceeded. The new population 1s industrial, a very large part of it be- ing engeged in the work of re- production. This is not so exelu-
sively a manufacturing city as Hamilton,
the Birmingham of Canada, from which, however, the wholesale dry goods business, for example, has nearly gone. But the manufactures of the latter city give her a surer source of prosperity. Toronto’s com- merce has expanded equally with her manu- factures. She isacentre for banks, loan and insurance <ompanies. Hither come a very large proportion of all the wealthy men who have retired from the active pur- suits of business, in various parts of the country. With ali these sources to draw upon, the city rapidly increases in wealth, as might be expected.— Monetary Times.
It is proposed in New York to excavate under Broadway a street of equal width to the present one, and of a height sufficient to admit of its free use by pedestrians and by two lines of cars to be moved by electric engines. The vndergrouud street will be lighted by electricity. Arrangements will be made so that the basements of the stores can be used just as the first stories now are. The sewers, the gas, water and telegraphic pipes will be placed uncer the new street in a subterranean gallery, which will make them accessible at ali times.
Forty-five millions of dollars have been spent on the Panama Canal, and not a foot of it yet cut. That is like Mr. Mackenzie's management of the Georgian Bay Branch, when $109,000 were spent on contract be- fore asurvey had been made.—E£uxolange.

| The Malagasy are arming, and express a determination to resist French invasioa.
Advices from Cairo contain the alarming ‘inteligence that the False Prophet, El Mehdi, has succeeded in capturing the | Khartoum, the capital of the Sondan.
| The Emperor and Empress will reach | Moscow on May 2ist, and the cvronation i'takes place on the 27th. The state entry jinto the city of St. Petersburg will be ‘made on June 10th,
News has been received at Victoria, B. \C. from the Northwest Coast, of the drowning of Messrs. Chapman and Penny, |two Missionaries attached to the Presby- terian Mission, by the upsetting of a boat.
From statistics it is gathered that for the yearending June 30th last there was an increase in the mileage of Canadian rail- roads of 269. The total nominal capital invested was $415,611,810, as compared with $389,285,700 at the corresponding period of the previous year. Upwards of nine and a quarter million passengers were carried, and thirteen and a half million tons of freight handled. The total earn- ings of ail the roads were twenty-nine mil- lion dollars, the expenses twenty-two mil- lions, leaving a net profit of $6,637,000,
If ever Lord Salisbury should bécéme Premier, the Canadian cattle trade will be one of the first things he will strike. This is the only opinion to be formed after read- ing his Brimingham speech. Speaking of the present laws regulating the live stock traftic, he said:—‘‘If it were possible by any inercase in the stringency of those laws to add to that security, I am sure the slight inconvenience of converting the live- meat trade into a dead meat trade from one particular country for a limited time would be enormonsly outweighed by a rapid growth in the pastrol industry.”
Among the many wreaths of flowers plied upon the coffin of the late John Brown were two contributed by the Queen and the Empress Eugenie. To the memor- ial wreath from the Queen there was affixed a large mourning card bearing the follow- ing words in her own handwriting: “A tribute of loving, grateful, and everlasting friendship and affection from his truest best, snd most faithful friend, Victoria, R. I.” Itis noted that the wreath she sent for Lord Beaconstield bore the words, **A mark of true affecticn, friendship, and regret;” that for Dean Stanley, ‘‘A mark of sincere affection and high esteem.”
In the case of Mrs. Adelia Curran against William M. Fay to recover $10,000 damages for killing her husband, in the superior court, New Haven, Coun., on the 20th, the jury were out an hour and brought in a verdict for the defendant. Judge Beards- ley refused to accept the verdict, and sent them back to their reom to deliberate, stating that they should have found some damages for the plaintiff. The judge told them that the defendant had failed to establish a legal justification for shooting, and their verdict was not in accordance with the evidence. ‘They returned in about an hour with a verdict for the plain- tiff of $50 and costs. Fay bad previously been tried for the murder of Curran and acquited. Nothing of the kind has occur- red in New Haven courts before for years.
The greatest loss sustained by the burn- ing of the Quebec Parliament Building is that of the library. The Chronicle says of it:—‘‘It contained 30,000 volumes, care- fully selected, many of them quite rare, and not a few relating solely to the early history of the country. The amount ex- pended for books up to Ist July, 1882, was $58,000. It also contained some $5,000 worth of books taken from the Depart- ment of Public Instruction and a collection of maps and books received in exchange from foreign governments and _secientific societies, so that the library Was worth at least $70,000. Mr. Lemay hopes that mest of the more valuable Canadian works have been saved, though it is said, on the other hand, that the greater portion of the very valuable Fairbauit collection of searce Canadian MSS., ete., are missing.”
In the report of the Marine and Fish- eries Department for 1882, reference is made to the advantage which the Meteor- ological Service is now oecasioning to the people of the Maritime Provinces. The forecast of the weather being now made at midnight, a recognizable improvement, they are issued to the public in the early morn- ing where under previous conditions they could not reach this province til] noon or later. Mr.Carpmael, the Superintendent of the service, in his report, pays a comple- ment to the Telegraph service in his con- nection as under: ‘* My thanks are justly due to Mr. Dwight, General Manager of the G. N. W. Telegraph Co., for the liberality which he has shown in making the arrange- ments ; but for which I should have been unable, with the grantat my disposal, to have increased the usefulness of the service in this direction.”

It is the intention of the company to rent or purchase from the Provincial Government sixteen square miles of unimproved land and aleo to lease or buy partly improved land and farm it on the best known principle. It is catimated that 10,400 acres, the quantity of land in sixteen square miles, will support 30.000 sheep, but as itis not proposed to cultivate in the whole area at the start, but to bring the land in gradually, the company will commence with about 3,000 sheep, and | between 200 and 300 head of cattle. It is also understood that several capitalists and others who have examined the ‘ have spoken very favorably of it and #igni- fied their wiilemyurens ty mvest,
