THE WEST INDIA TRADE.
We believe that the National Policy will do harm to the Itercolonial Railway. We understand that within the last few days the enterprising firm of Bremner & Hart, of this city, have shipped 319 hhds. and 56 bris. sugar, to Redpath & Son, Montreal, and that they have over three hundred hhds. now landing, which will be shipped by the same route within a few days. —Hze.
Herald. NOVA SCOTIA COAL FOR TORONTO.
The following, from the Toronto Mail, is a sufficient answer to those who say it iS impossible to send our coal to Toronto: ‘The schooner ‘Herbert Dudley” has been chartered for flour to Halifax, and return- ing will bring with her a cargo of coal. Her owners will receive $2,000 for the round trip. This is the first maritime charter of the season.” —-Ib.
a $32,000 JoB wHIcH DID Nor GO To ENGLAND.
The Montreal ‘‘ Witness” (Grit) says :— ‘‘On Saturday the contractors for the Ste. Cunegonde Water Works gave a contract to the Messrs. MeDougall of this city, for the greater portion of the pipes required for the new works, and also to a Hamilton, Ont., foundry for the balance, together with some machinery, The amount that will be thus retained in the country instead of going to England where, before the new tariff, the contractors declare it would have gone, they having had already . partial ar- ranyemenis made there for the pipes, will be over $52,000. The pipes are to be all delivered by the Messrs. McDougall and the Hamilton manufacturers between the 15th of May, and the 15th of July ensu- ing.”
THE POOR MAN'S MOLASSES.
In our last issue we stated that Capt. J. Vincent Dexter had informed us that the duty on a cargo of molasses lately received by him was lessened $120 by the change in the tariff. The Advance denied this. But Captain Dexter, than whom there is no bet-
| ter authority on this subject, plainly shows
to the public in the following, over his own signature, who can be relied on :—
‘*On the cargo of molasses in dispute the difference between the old duty and the new wasas you stated $120. J. V. Dexter.”
The Advance states that only thirteen puncheons of molasses had been entered. The Collector of Customs has given us a statement, showing that J. Vincent Dexter, since the change of tariff, has entered two cargoes of molasses, and that the change in the tariff has lessened the duties on the two cargoes $181.80. Besides giving him the use of that much more meney it would also give him a handsome profit if he continued to sell at the old prices, but he has come down, and our merchants are lowering the retail price of molasses, and in the end the consumer is benefitted.—Liverpvol J imes.
THE SUGAR DUTIES—PRICES LOWER. ‘*A Grocer” writing to the Montreal Gazette on the sugar tariff, says :—
t seems nothing can be said or dene to satisfy the Globe and Herald. As for the rabid freo traders of Enyland, surely we can get along without their dictation. They have enough to do to attend to the starving thousands amongst themselves; perhaps a little work would do them no harm. WhatI wish to say is, however, that to try and convince the Globe or the Herald, or any of the rabid Grits, is a most hopeless task. As well might you try to make the St. Lawrence run up instead of duwn. ‘The sugar question, for instance, is one which will prove what I say. The irits always contended that by pro- tecting Redpath the public were paying more for their sugar. It has been shown that the public got cheaper sugar in Red- path’s time than they did during the five years of American and Scotch supplies, be- sides a difference of about 20 per cent. in quality in favor of Redpath. We have the facts clearly demonstrated once more. During the winter yellow sngars were selling from 7} to 8 cents; granv- lated, from 8% to 9 cents, and the public were informed that the new tariff would increase the prices from 1 to 1} cts. a pound, which was going all into the pock- etsof Redpath & Co. Now, what are the facts? Before Re path has scarcely got the rust off his machinery, he is turning out magnificent yellow sagars from 7jc to 7jec, and granulated at Shc., and of a quality that anyone who takes the trouble to en- quire into, will find far superior in flavor and strength, to either the Scotch or the American. This, to me, is the most im- portant point of all. Tu get tho direct
and to have the cost of the spent among ourselves is also a point gain-_

The London Furniture Manufacturing Company now employ 150 men. Before the new tariff was put in force they empley- ed very few. Withthe new state of mat- ters, the Company will be able te sell very cheaply.
BUSINESS IN HALIFAX. The National Policy has not killed the country yet. As far as we can learn the business of the week has been better than for any previous week of the season, better indeed than for several years past at the same time.—H-x. Herald.
Somebody asks an Upper Province paper: ‘‘Are our capitalists going to sit quietly under the new order of things and wait for our American cousins to come over and show what enterprise can do ?”

How it Works.
Tur new Canadian tariff prevents Estey & Co.. of Battleboro, from making any profit on organs which they ship to Canada, where they have a large trade, and they talk of building a factory over the line.— Boston Journal of Commerce.
In several other cases American manu- facturers have indicated their intention of erecting factories in the Dominion—thus giving employment to the labor of this country and cempelling to the distribution of money in the Dominion, that would otherwise have been spent by the opera- tives in the States. Quite a change in that respect has been made by the Tariff and still greater changes in that line are in progress.

A Brilliant Victory for the British.
A correspondent of the London Times with Col. Wood’s column in Zululand, gives the following account of one of the few successful operations‘of the British in South Africa -—To better establish himself with regard to the Amaqulusi Kraal was the chief reason that induced Colonel Wood to move his camp from the banks of the Umvelos). This military stronghold has always been regarded with a certain degree of awe by the Boers, who imagined it to be im- pregnable, its position in some degree justi- fying this idea. Situated in a basin at a distance ef nearly two miles from the sum- mit of the rugged height by which it is sur rounded, the Amaqulusi Kraal lay almost hid- den from view, although containing within a circle of some 300 yards diameterseveral hun- dred well-built huts. Toattack and burn this would without doubt strike a formidable blow at the military prestige of North Zululand, and in order to reconnoitre the position Colonel Buller, with the Frontier Light Horse, marched at daybreak on the Ist February. The result of this expedition was more than could have been expected, for on returning to camp after a hard day’s work of nearly twenty hours, Colonel Bul- ler reported that he had surprised and burnt the kraal, at the same time capturing nearly 300 head of cattle. Finding only a few scouts on the hilltops, some of whom were shot, the others escaping, it was evi- dent that the kraal had been partly de- serted aud Colonel Buller decided to rush at
and fire it. The only practical approach down the precipitous slopes was so steep that the horsemen were obliged to dismount and lead
their horses. Fortunately, as surmised, the majority of the occupants had fled from their huts, only abeut 150 people, chiefly old men and women, escaping on the first appearance of the troops. A few shots fired from both sides, au advance ata gailop, and the kraal fired at several places was the work of afew moments. Favored by a steady breeze, the flames quickly spread and all was ina blaze. Such was the end of the Amaqulusi Kraal, and the hundreds of those who have left their homes to swell the ranks of Cetywayo’ army will learn with astonishment the daring feat of Colonel Buller and his 150 horse- men at the end of a sixty-mile ride declared to be un fait accompli. This in itself is an example of the value of mounted troops ; four days at least would have been neces- sary for an infantry attack on the almost inaccessable stronghold.
