Montreal, Sept. 27. General Sir Fenwick Williams, K. C. B., arrived in the city last night, and proceeded ner 9.30 train this morning to Ottawa. He was accompanied by Major DeWinton, the Goverior General’s Secretary, and Mrs. DeWinton, the former having been des- patched by His Excellency to meet Sir Fenwick in Montreal. A special palace car was placed at his disposal by the manage- ment of the Grand Trunk Railway. Toronto, Sept. 27. Afoul murder occurred at Carleton Vil- lage, on the Grand Trunk, Toronto, Grey & Bruce Railways, a few miles east of here, on Friday morning. Two brothers, named Decoursey, it appears, had a law suit about some property over which they were dis- puting, and one gained the case. The loser laid in wait for his brother with a doube- barreled pistol and shot him. He did not fall, and the fratricide put the pistol to his breast and fired again, killing him instantly. Before arrest the fratricide took poison to end his life, but was saved by a stomach pump. The brothers have lived at Lamb- ten mills throughout .their lives. Their parents are both dead. Sypney, Sept. 27. Schooner. Cathrine Royal, owned by Capt. Alex. Boudrot, of Port Royal, and comnianded by his son Frederick, left Glace Bay for Boston, August 16th, and has not since been heard of ; believed she foun- dered during the gale on the 19th ult. There were six men on board, four of whom leave helpless families. Schooners Golden, West and Emma, of Lahave, have been wrecked near St. Esprit Island. .

CONDENSED DESPATCHES.

Advices from Simla say the Viceroy has sent the following despatch to London : ‘‘General Baker received a letter from the Afghan Commander-in-Chief, yesterday, at Kushi, asking whether he would receive him and the Ameer’s heir apparent in camp.”

The Madrid ‘‘Correspondencia” says it is probable that Senor Castillo will resume the Presidency of the Ministry before the re-opening of the Cortes. :

The Paris ‘‘Republique Francais” pub- lishes, under reserve, the following : ‘‘Lord Salisbury, during a recent interview with Waddington, assured.-him that England would endeavor to obtain the unconditional cession of Jauina to Greece.” 2

The London “‘Standard’s” Ali Kehyl cor- respondent reports that Gen, Baker has reconnoitered as far as Zargun Shahr, and the whole of his force will be concentrated shorily in Lorgar Valley for a rapid advance on Cabul.

The Constantinople correspondeni of the “Standard” telegraphs: ‘‘It is thought that an understanding between Greece . and Turkey is impossible. Warlike prepar- ations are progressing on both sides. It is the opinion here that it is Austria that is obstructing the efforts for an understanding, and that in the event of hostilities she would immediately occupy Macedonia.”

The ‘‘Standard’s” Constantinople de- spatch says: Prince Labanoff is bearer of a project for an alliance between Russia and Turkey. It is announced that Russia is willing to renounce 809,000,000 of francs of war indemnity, and to give back some of the former Provinces of Turkey in Asia.

The London Standard’s Paris despatch says : Le Nord publishes an article, presum- ably by Gortschakeff, making a guarded attack on Germany and openly denouncing Austria.

A London despa‘. ': says the British ship Langdale, Capt. Jc ‘inson, which sailed from San Francisc» Jnne 14th, has been wrecked near Carnsore~ Point, Wexford. The Captain, his wife, three. children and four of the crew were drowned.

The London News’ Allahabad special says it is expected that Cabul will be entered on the 6th October. Resistance is doubtful, as the rebels lack leaders. Gen. Roberts and party has been fired on. A doctor was severely wounded. A force has been sent tu assist the last five men. ~ Messrs. Pearce & Bevans, of New Yerk, cotton brokers, have failed. Liabilities ismall.

Sir Charles Tupper’s late purchase of

?

| Steel rails is probably the last that will be

made by him outside of Canada. Needing in the near future a supply of these, and feeling the pulse of the market, he made a purchase which evidently, it is judged from the remarks of the English correspondent of the iro Age, quoted in our last, could not be secured again.

-The River du Loup track and the metal- ling of the Pacific read from Lake Superior to Winnipeg, will absorb all this purchase, and will almost anticipate its delivery by the demand.

We may look’ forward, therefore, to a- policy of building henceforth Canadian roads with Canadian steel. and nowhere else, as in Nova Scotia, within the bounda- ries of our wile Dominion, can this forg- ing of a highway be done so well and with so great an Tmpnise to the prosperity of the nation.

The declared policy of the present gov- ernment is, as far as possible, to have all work required by Canada done by Canadian hands, and this outcome of the National Policy will be to create in Nova Scotia an

industry that must make her powerful -

among the iron-workers of the world.

The mineral wealth of Nova Scotia has hitherto been developed with much the same activity, as a few years ago, the rich soil of our northwestern prairies was tilled. Then, an enthusiastic inhabitant showed a small acre with a splendid crop, but his garden patch was surrounded by a _ wilder- ness of fertile soil. The flood of immigra- tion is now rippling over this soil, and the industry of the plow is breaking this wilder- ness into wheat fields.

In like manner here we have had an in- dividual case or so that showed what our powers as iron-makers might be if we had one fair chance of entering on the arena; our Londonderry Steel Company has made its mark, but all the rest of our provinoe has practically remained undeveloped.

We had iron, coal, capital and hardy labor, but they lay apart, and like chemical substances that have an aflinity for each other, they remained side by side without any action. Envelope these in the fusing influence of a decision carrying ont the national policy of building our own roads with our own iron, and an action will at once begin that shall produce in shape and life an industry cleary native to the soil al-

though the policy of free traders would have | denied its right to exist here.

Within six months we will see the be- ginning of this great change, and the next two years will preduce a growth of iron manufactures that will be as great a sur- prise tothe sceptical free trader of these provinces, as was the development of agri-

culture in the northwest to the Hudson’s —

Bay stock-holders who considered their ter- ritory only fit for the production. of fur- bearing animals.

We are passing the point of being mere customers of fish merchants and importers ; we will realize the position attained by North Englishmen, whose manhood has found in the scil the means that made them sovereigns of trade, and that turned petty seaports and fishing villages into marts of commerce which are quoted in the foreign markets of the whole world.

English newspapers are beginning to talk as follows, this selection being from a journal called The Machinery Market :-— ‘Wnder the present system we have to buy £70,000,000 to £89,000,000 worth of food per annum from abroad. Supposing we pay half of this to the United States of America, what do they do with this money / Simply keep it to themselves. They buy very little from us, and are determined that what they do buy shall he as little as they canhelp. By means of a high protect- ive tariff the Americans ensure that this

money obtained from usshall be spetitamong -

their own manufacturers instead of witlf us. The conseqnence is that American mant- facturers cre flourishing on the money paid forthe food. we buy from them, whilst English manufacturers are starving.”

While General Sherman was down in Kentucky the other day, among the crowd of old soldiers who gathered around him was one who shook his hand with great delight and exclaimed: ‘‘ Why, General, I'm delighted io see you; don’t you re- member me,—Stanley, formerly of Leaven- worth.” ‘‘Why, of course, I recognize you,” said the General, ** what in the-—— are you doing in this country?’ ‘‘ Why, sir, ’ was the reply, ‘“‘ I am preaching now.” ‘*‘ Preaching,” said the General, suddenly changing his tone to one of more respect for the clergyman, ‘‘1 hope to heaven you are cing well,
