The N. P. in Ottawa.
A representative of the Ottawa Herald—a
d pre Ma Liberal p yper--interviewed several manufactur- ers on Saturday; and this is what Mr. Selly Lee, wholesale boot and shoe dealer, said of the offects of the National Policy. On being asked if his business had been benefited by the introduction of the National Policy tarfff, he replied in the affirmative, stating that there had been a steady improvement in his busi- ness during the past four months, and that orders are more numerous than he could pos- sibly fill; he furnishes four wholesale houses in Montreal, two in Toronto, one in Hamilton and one in London, all of which are contin- ually sending orders of such dimensions 2s to tax Mr. Loe’s labor resources to the utmost. Ag an in. stance, he said thas last Monday he $2,000 wortn of goods

Tus Quinrsrre Crus Concrrt.—Though the weather was unfavorable, the concert held iu St. Paul’s Schoolroom last evening, was by no means an inauspicious opening ot the season. There was a fair audience ; and, thoug’ we feel that something is wauting toa first-class amateur concert vyhen Mr. Hermans does not sing, and thoagh we were disappointed on account of the non-ap- pearanc. of Mrs. Stricklan i, Mr. Montgomery and Dr. Creamer, the music was, takea for ali in all, very fine indeed, Miss Hayden sang the first song. Of course itis right and pro- per that ladies should, ordinarily, take pre- cedence, yet we question the tact which plac ed on the stand—before the audience had properly settled down to the enjoyment oi music—2 young lady unused to appear in public. Under the som what trying cir- oumstance, Miss Hayden behaved with great self-possession aud sang exceedingly well. But she missed “the encore she deserved, and
which she would have undoubtedly received, j > 4.4 ooweat AAio a tre had she suoz later in the evening. Miss Hay
den has a sweet voice, capable of the highest ; ; Tayi > any se At cultivation. Mr. L. J. Williams’ song ** Ma- deline ’ was a decided hit. It was enthusias- tically encored. Mr. ‘Villiams’ yoice has greatly improved since his last appearance - public, and the applause he re seived was well deserve l. Professor Caven sang the song set down in the bills for Mr. Montgomery—** Li Balen,” from Verdi. 1t is neediess to say that it wassaug in a fhusue 1 style and with reat power. The Professor’s song, ‘‘Jack’s Gorn,” was applauded to the echo, and en- List}; > w- . a} cored — of course. Mr. Wiilianis, by request, “41 TT or ee sang (with applause) * Remember Me, to fill the yvacancy caused by the absence of Mrs. Strickland. The chief featare of the concert was tho splendid playing of tae Quintette Club. This was, certainly, one of the finest musical treats jever enjoyed by a Charlottetown audience. Nor must we forget the violin : by Mr. Vinnicombe which was exceedingly and was encored with the greates{ appla It seems to be generally admitted that 4» Vinnie »mbe never played better than he did last nivht. It is to be hoped that tue concert will soon be repeated.

oats at (ue McDonald & Bros.
The price of oats stand here at 33 cents ner bushel. At Montague Bridge, oats are selling for 32 cents per bushel, and Lower Montague the price is 33 cents. Potatoes have gone completely out of the market, for want of vessels to carry them.
Sauveauxc. — The Customs officials at this port seized a quantity of Ame ‘ican kerosene oil, at midnight on Tuesday night last, which was being smuggled ashore from an American schooner. The vessel cleared out before the offenders were caught, but it is thought a despetch sent to the Gut of Canso on the followiig morning will overtake them.
Exports at Moreii.—Since our last re- port the following produce has been ship- ped by rail, from Morell Station, viz., 14,- 000 bush. oats, 80 do barley, 1027 do pota- toes, 67 cases eggs, 27 firkins butter and 14 head live stock. The price of oats has fal- len to 30c. per bush. during the past week, and no demand at all for potatoes. So that farmers are now hauling to other places for export.
The brigt. Reata, Jos. McDonald, mas- ter, arrived at this port on the 27th ult., from South America. A man named Mc- Phee, son of Archibald McPhee, of Gallas Point, died on the passage, of fever, and was buried at sea. The Reata is now load- ing at Annandale, and will shortly sail under command of Capt. Buekley. Capt. McDonald is now in command of the Lucy Pope, ono of the finest vessels belonging to this Island.

Convicrrons.—It seems the authorities are dotermined.to stop the illicit sale of liquor, On Wednesday last, the under- mentioned parties were convicted and fined as follows, before Justice Sanderson, Wick- wire and Stewart for violating the liquor
law at Montague Bridge:—John J. Me- Donald, $40, and ests; John McRae, $40,
McDonald, $20 and costs ; Danie! Dewar, $20 and costs ; Peter McKenzie, $20, and costs; Roderick Mc- Kenzie, $20, and costs; Annaias Camp- bell, $40, and costs. Jas. D. Dewar a wit- ness (and a J.
