No means has been taken by the mann- fanturers to push the sale of their “Myrtle Navy” tobacco, except giving from time to time a simple statement of the facts connected with it inthe public press. The large and rapidly increasing demands for it has been the result of the experience of smokers which these statements suggested. Th-ir advice to business men is to advertise largely if they have the right article to keep up the advertise- ment with.

THE RIEL QUESTION, BEGINNING OF THE DEBATE.

Orrawa, March 11.

Tne House met this afternoon, Sir John who is suffering froma severe cold, was not expected ; but he took his seat.

Robertson, of Hastings, introduced a bill to amend the criminal law by providing for extension of the term of imprisonment of burglars to ten years.

_ McCarthy introduced a bill to extend the time of voting at Dominion elections, mak- ing it from nine to eight o’clock.

In answer to a gentleman, Hon. Mr. Chaplean said the sum of $125 was paid for cireulating a fly sheet containing evidence in the Queen against Riel

Landry, of Monmtagny,moved his resolu- tion about Riel, He denied that he was setup by the government to make the motion, He objected to the execution, lst, because the jury recommended Riel to mercy; 2nd, because the medical officers had not had time te form a sound judgment as to his sanity; 3ed, that Goneral Middle- ton considered Riel a beligerent; and 4th that the day for capital punishment for political offences had passed away.

Hon. Mr. Langevin referred to the diffi- culties of his position during the past four months, as representative of the French Canadians in the Ministry. He referred to his twenty-nine years of public life, during which he had never been accused of being a traitor. He was no traitor now. Ho stat- ed what the Government had done, how it saw Riel defying the authority of the Queen in the far off regions of the North- west, and howit had called out the militia, who had responded aobly; how it gave the Counsel for Riel every opportunity, pay- ing for witnesses, etc, how every court that had been appea'ed to by Riel had sustained the conviction, how the gov- ernment had sent medical men to enquire as to Riel’s mental state, and how all three affirmed his responsibility before God and man. He was hanged, and the government desired to moet the resolution squarely. In order to do this he would move ‘the pre- vious question.’ This in the Commons of Canada precludes the introduction of any other amendment.”

Amyot followed, declaring that the Government had not brought down all the papers necessary, and were shirking their responsibility. At 11 o'clock House adjourned.

The State of India

Lonvoy, March 11.

Earl Kimberley, Secretary for India, moved in the Lords this afternoon for the appointment of a committee to enquire into and report upon the state of the gov- ernment of India, He stated that Lord Dofferin did not consider the position of affairs in Burmah as seriously alarming, although it had been reported that Yeme- then was besieged by 9,000 rebels, and that Gen. Prendergast had been sent with 300 British troops to relieve it. | Motion adopted.

The strikers now threaten to make higher wages and shorter hours a feature of the strike, unless a settlement is speedily effected.
