New York's Opinion.
Ar the meeting of the chamber of com- merce of New York on the first inst., the epecial committee appointed to consider the subject of commercial union with Canada, submitted resolutions expressing the earnest desire that all differences arising from the fishery question and all other differences between the United States and Canada be and speedily adjusted on an en-
that
peaceably during basis to the mutual interest ; American fishing vessels be accorded the same privileges in Canadian ports accorded in American ports ; that the chamber will welcome any arrangement for
relations between
as Canadian vessels are
enlarged commercial Canada und the United States, which shall seem to the two contracting parties fair and just, and which may contribute to a settle- inent of the question now under considera- tion ; that any differences of opinion touch- ing rights under existing treaties or public not be reconcilable after superseded by new
law which may discussion or be arrangements mutually satisfactory, should be referred to friendly arbitration, after the example of the Geneva conference both parties agreeing to be bound by the decision. The resolutions were adopted. Would it not be well for our Chamber of Commerce, to appoint asa result of their draw up a
discussion, a committee to
resolution in the reasonable and _ business-
like spirit of this one /

Tus Halifax Herald quotes ‘a large part of the Hon. D. Ferguson’s last letter to Tue ExaMINeR, and adds :~
** Mr. Ferguson also brings out another im- portant peint,—that the exports of P. E. Island to the other provinces now embraced in the Dominion of Canada were, during the last six years of Reciprocity, only $66,787 less than the exports to the United States; while during the six following the abrogation of the treaty they were more than double as much as those to the States. This shows (1) that even before the Island entered the Dominion, the Dominion was by all odds her best customer; and (2) that she got better prices for her pro- ducts in the sister provinces during 1867-72 than she got from the Yankees in the halcyon days of Reciprocity. These facts are worth acres of ‘‘ flapdoodle” from the pens of Gold- win Smith and other Wiman boomsters.”
~The Montreal Star reports that boys from English charitable institutions are doing well in Canada. There are many of these boys in Quebec, scattered among the farmers; there are also & great num-
ber in Ontario; and now we see that the boys fromthe London Home, who were some time ago sent to Manitoba, are also giving satisfaction to their employers. This is pleasing news, and it proves that boys, trained to habits of obedience in charitable homes in England, can be sent to Canada with good prospects for their ad- vancement. Under proper safeguards for the boys and some assurance for their em- ployers, there should be room for many of these boys in the rural districts of Canada. We have room for a good many in this Province.

AL mdon correspondent of the Montreal Star writes :—
_*‘I bad a talk with a leading member of the Nationalist party on the subject of the J'imes setting spies on ‘ir. Parnell, and finding him living incognito in the village ot Brockley, in Kent, under the name of Preston. He told me that Mr. Parnell is in a delicate state of health, extremely thin and pale. He had a perfect right to seek repose while Parliament was not sitting. Hs was not surprised at the conduct of the Témes, but said that the Par- nellites were determined to retaliate, and a watch will be set on the private movements of the Jive writers. He fancied that this will prove ratherawkward. He thought there must bea good number of journalists who would ebrink from such an ordeal.

POLITICAL, AGRICULTURAL [AND COMMERCIAL ~—A SHORT, BREEZY LETTER.
(Special Correspondence of The Examiner. )
Yes, I reached this centre of English Imperialism \vith expected punctuality, and after a good look around, got to work with my quill, You shall have your share, too.
In politics there is 4 kind of lull, as the House is net sitting, but the sad Irish question is the subject of all public meet- ings. The Tory Government does not yet seem convinesd of its inability to rule by coercion ; with free speech and free press it is impossible to treat the country like a Poland or a Lombardy, and if these safety valves are closed on the green Island, an outcry will be made in Great Britain. A solid majority, of one hundred votes in the Lower House, and the active sympathy of publicans and parsons throughout England form a strong bulwark. The necessity for the Liberals cut of office securing the hearty support of Dissenters to restore them to ottice again heis compelled the adoption of Disestablishment of the Church, at least in Wales. as part of the recognized platfurm.
Agricultural distress has weakened the power of the landlords, which for the most part has been used in combination with the clergy to hinder every advance, social or political.
Popular education is supplying the people with a weapon they never had beiore. One striking evidence of the advance made in public sentiment is the visit of a body representing 233 members of the House of Commons, to President Cleveland, to suggest the adoption of arbitration between the United States and Great Britain.
The transition state of commerce, Owing, I believe, mainly to the development of railways, rapid steamship communication, telegraph aud telephone, together with that wonderful institution the Parcels Post, has so interfered with the ordinary course of business that retail traders have a difficulty in making both ends meet, and even large concerns feel perplexed.
As for the farmers, want of capital, and worse still want of all scientific knowledge of their occupation has brought them to the verge of bankruptcy. The wage earning class, if in work, are better off than ever, every article uf food and dress are one third to one half the price,at which they stood twenty-five or thirty years ago: but if the bread winner is out of employment, the pressure is severe,

Hartington in Dublin.
STORY CF HIS RECEPTION FROM A NATIONALIST POINT OF VIEW,
THE
(By cable to the New York Tribune.)
Dvus.irx, November 29.—With the aid of the most formidable muster of police ever witnessed in Dublin the unionists have managed to held their meeting to-night in Leinster Hal!. Lord Hartington was re- ceived on his srrival at Kingstown early this morning with hoots, hisses and groans, aud this evening when he aprived at the Leinster hall in company with Goschen he found it surrounded by an immense crowo singing *‘God Save Ireland” in chorus. Even inside the hall, notwithstanding all the precautions, the nationalists had gained a footing and pointed the addresses of the speakers with cries of ‘‘ Mitchellstown ” and cheers for Parnell, Gladstone, Home Rule and William O’Brien. If the police in plain clothes who bristled in every corner had been withdrawn there would have been a considerable gap left in the hall. Rackrenters, Crown law- yers, castle oflicials, expectant office seek- ers, and boys from Trinity College made up the bulk of the gathering. The Unionists have been trying to make great capital ont of the Catholic element in the display and to emphasize it they got two Catholics to act 2. the hosts of Lord Hart- ington and Mr. Goschen. One of these gentlemen, James Talbot Power, was so unwilling to occupy this invidious position that the Castle went the length of bringing direct influence to bar to induce him to in- vite the distinguishe|! Marquis. Mr. Power, is a whiskey distiller, and between his cus- tomers (the trade) on one hand, and his social patrons (che Unionists) on the other, he was anxious not to come to the ground so that his frame of mind in dispensing hospitality to Lord Hartington and thereby offending the Na- tionalist publicans who kept his distillery going, can hardly be one of the happiest, fhe fact about the Gatholic Unionists is this, that there were fifty altogether of them on the reception committee, and the quality of the Catholicity of this may be judged from the fact the day they select to feast their visitors is one of the fast days of the Catholic church. Of the fifty twenty were lawyers, all br:efless and esurient, or else of the third rank, with the exception of Soli- citor Geneial Peter O’Brien, familarly known as ‘**Pother the Packer.” Amongst the remainder is the landlord, David Sherlock, who became notorious last winter in tonnection with an old widow and her daughter, whose turkeys he seized in satisfaction for an arrear of rent. Both widow and daughter died a fortnight afterward, and the coroner's jury returned a verdict of death from starvation owing to their being deprived of their sole means of subsistence—a flock of turkey seized by their landlord, David Sherlock. During the n‘eeting the multitude outside kept singing ‘* God Save Ireland” until the army of poileemen at length found it necessary to press them back from the building and draw a cordon around it, occupying every lane and avenue in the neighborhood.. The meeting was finally held within the triple line of armed men, and was about as representative of Dublin sentiment as a conclave of the privy council in a back roou: of the castle.

Fiotous Students,
Kineston, Ont., Dee, 4.
There was intense excitement here last night caused by a collision between the police and the medicalstudents. The latter were parading the streets singing college songs, when a policeman arrested one of their number named Dickeuson. The others closed around the policeman who drew his revolver and threatened to shoot. He succeeded in taking the prisoner to the station followed by the students. The students threaten to again parade on Mon- day night, and serious trouble is feared.
