The ‘Fisheries.
Tue Halifax Hera’d, commenting upon the speech of the Hon. Donald Ferguson before the Board of Trace, says :
“ We are assured by those in a position to know, that if a vote were taken to-moriow among our fishermen, as to which they would prefer, the treary of 1818 with vigilant a tection against Yankee poachers, oO} tree trade with the United States in fish and fisheries— nine-tenths of them would vote for the former, Indeed our ‘rit friends, as Mr. Stairs pointed out in his’ speech at Mount Uniacke, are estopped from saying that our tishermen would gain anything by exchanging th ir fisheries for the free admission of their fish into the United States, since at the time the treaty ol Washington was entered into they vociferous- ly declared that the United States market, with a money compensation in, Was & wholly inadequate return Jor the free use of our fisheries by Yankee fishermen, — Phey called the fishery clauses of the “ ishinuton treaty ‘a base surrender of our fisheries. re! under the Wiman fad we would get $00,000 a year less for our fisheries than the Washing ton treaty gave us. Among the farmers there is not anything like the craze for free w.th the United States that onr Grit : pretend to believe there is. ‘The far. ners of Nova

-The Halifax Hereld says that ** Hon. Mr. Ferguson is obviously quite correct im supposing that the Wiiman tad, to be at all possible, implies a common legislature for the making and amending of the common tariff, a common court for the inter pretation of the tariff, and a common exe- cutive forthe discipliningof customs officials

The New Glasgow Waterwerks.
Mr. Tuomas A. McLean, of the enter- prising firm of McKinnon & McLean, ar- rived home from New Glssgow, N. §., after an absence of some six weeks, last evening. He informs us that during that period he has fitted up the bviler furnished by his firm for the waterworks at New Glasgow, has attended to the building of foundations for the pumping engine,air pumps, ete. ,and has made all connections from filtering basins to pumps, and from pumps to. main delivery pipe. He adds that on Monday last he submitted his portion of the work to a severe test and that he put a pressure of 100 pounds on the boiler, put the pumps up to 120 pounds tothe square inch, and every juint in the whole work remained perfectly tight, showing nc weakness what- ever. ‘The Commissioners have accepted the machinery without hesitation, declar- ing it to be a high class piece of workman- ship.
We congratulate Messrs. McKinnon & McLean on their success and are mere than pleased tu note the that our manu- facturers are found espable of carrying out such important contracts. Especially is it gratifying in. cases like the one we are referring to, where the workmansnip has to undergo the closest inspection net only of the engineer in charge, but also of larger

The reason we stopped publishing the names of the convicted during the last term of the Scott Act, was chat, so few
and much more preteutious rival manu- facturera.
New Glasgow has now, in Mr, MeLean’s opinion, one of the most eflicient water supplies in the Maritime Provinces. This, he thinks, and we agree with him, reflects great credit onthe engineer in charge, on the Commissioners who assisted him in perfecting the work, and upon the people who assisted them in their work.
The New Glasgow Chro.vjicle devotes a considerable portion oi its space to a des- criptiun of the new work. This is what it has to say about that portion in which our fellow townsinen are’ interested :—
‘*The boiler was furnished by Messrs. Mce- Kinnon & McLean, of Charlottetown, P. E. Island, who were awarded the contract over quite a number of competitors. It is a steel boiler, 15 fee@ Sanches long iu shell and is 4 feet 6 Mche#ifigiameter. The tubes are 49 in number and are 34 inchesin diameter. It it built of three-eighth inch steel plates in shell, thickness of heads half an inch, double riveted on the longitude seams. The dome is 2 feet 6 inches by 2 feet 6} inches. Engineer Ormiston pronounces the workman- ship first-class im every particular,. and Messrs, MeXinnon & McLean have made their mark as boiler makers by the excellent work done in this instance. Inspector Colliston, of the Toronte Insurance Company. paid a high compliment tothe ‘makers while inspecting the boiler, ind it passed with a high average. Messrs, MeXinnon & McLean also furnished the delivery and suction pipes and engine eon- nections, atnong which was u Worthington pump strainer. Mr. McLean, one of the members of the firm, was met by our reporter at the pumping station, who was also very obliging ‘n the way of providing information.’

oppose unjust attacks. Germany has no aggressive tendency, nor wants to be satis- fied through victorious wars or unchristian despotism to surprise neighboring peoples foreign to the German nation, to the con- stitution and empire. The military organi- zation of the country is not ‘calculated ‘tu disturb the peace of her neighbors by arbi- trary attacks. Germany is strong in parry- ing surprises and defending independence. She wishes tu become so strong that she can face with composure every danger.” At the close of the reading Herr Wedell Piesdorff, president of the body, called for cheers for the Emperor and they were given with enthusiasm.

The lecture was deeply interesting and very instructive. Mrs. Leonowens has the rare power of being able to give vivid descrip- tions of the men and places she has seen ;
_and these arerendered the more pleasing and
satisfactory by the views by which they are illustrated. The extrayagances of tyrannic power were well exemplitied by the inci- dents she related of life in the . palace of the King of Siam ; but even there, Mrs. Leonowens testifies, there are compensa- tions in the sweetness and gentle manners and devotion ot the numerous women and children. The views she gave of Buddhist temples and kingly palaces in Siam and Cambodia were very fine, ee I AI
