Telegrams.
Tue papers relative to the Piers being now betore the public, the re is every Op-
portunity of judging as to the truth of . ° y)° the telesrams sent by Messrs. Sullivan | and Davies on the 19th and 20th Febru- ary last. Mr. Sullivan’s telegram reads | thus: “Orrawa. Feb. 19, 1854
‘Mi ater 1 Publi y' orks received bis Chief Engineer's »t vesterday. It is favor able an i wi we subs ially con urred ip bv Cabinet this week Hesides assuming works and fundiig provincial expenditure, Do-| minion Gov eot will place in estimates |

“WW, W. SuLuvan.” Afr. Davies’ telegram reads as follows “Orrawa, Feb, 20, 1884. ‘No Piers money granted or proposed. Gov- ernment refused to say Engineers’ not reported. “TL. H. Daviss.” Mr. Davies’ defenders here, have al- leged in his defence that he did not refer in the above telegram tothe Report ot the Engineers’ who examined our Piers last summer, but to that of the Engineer, Mr. Perley. Now, we find? Mr. Perley’s report is dated on the 16th of February, or four days befor e ié lee sent. The 16th of February fellon Saturday. The Monday following was the 18th, and it would of course follow, that a document completed
sh , the i qram 1s
by the Engineer on Saturday would reach |
the Minister on the Monday following. This exactly corroborates Mr. Sullivan's telegram of Tuesday the 19th, that the Evgiueer’s Report was
18th of February Here then we have
the most unmistakeable evidence that in |
this respect Mr. Davies’ telegram was
entirely false, and Mr. Sullivan's stricily |
true. The other portions of Mr. Davies’ tele-
gram are equally false.
20th of February the Goverumeuvt re- fused to say whether any money would be voted for our piers. The next quibble will be that his telegram referred to the answer he received from Sir Langevin on the 13th of February. This quibble,if urged, will show what duplicity Mr. Davies was capable of resorting to in order to deceive the electors of Belfast, on the eve of the late election.
Mr. Sullivan's telegram is now demon- strated to be true. The Chief Exgineer’s report was received on the day stated. The liability of the Dominion to maintain the piers of Federal importance to this Islaud was admitted, therefore the report was favorable. It was ‘*substantially” concurred in only three days later than expected by Mr. Sullivan when he sent the telegram, and a sum is authorized to be placed in the estimates to put ‘‘the piers taken ia thorough repair.”

Another gentleman, who also shali be nameless, like- wise (the opportunity being seemingly favorable) alluded to what he was reported to have eaid some two or three months ago on the ‘Course of Study.” He was, how-

Death of H. R. H. Prince Leopold.
Our despatches to-day announce the death of Prince Leopold, fourth son of Her Majesty Queen Victoria. It oc- curred very suddenly at Cannes as His Royal Highness was about starting for Darmstadt to attend the wedding of his neice. Prince Leopold was a victim of hemophilia, a disease of the bleod where excessive bleeding occurs spon taneously or from slight cause. It was probably one of those fits of bleed- ing whieh yesterday to him proved fatal. His Royal Highness Prince Leopold
George Duncan Aibert, was born on the!
éth of April, 1853, and had he lived to the 7th prox., would be thirty-one years of age. Lle married on the 27th of April. 1882, the Princess Helen of Waldeck-Pyrmont, sister to the Queen of the Netherlands. He was created Duke of Albany, Earl of Clarence, and Baron Arklow iu 1881-2.
Family, aud Her Majesty, our despatches state, is profoundly affected by his death.

The Truth is in Us.
In its flimsy article on the pier money, the Patriot calls Tue ExamIneR a “living organ.’ Yet inthe same article it admits that Tux roughly reliable. Though the piers correspondence were laid on the table of the House of Assembly on Friday evening, the editor of the Patriot did not take the trouble of consulting them for
his own or his readers information. It says “we have not yet seen the Piers correspondence, but we glean from the Examiyer the following informatios.”” That is all in- formation i reference to the pier question. Now, ifthe Examimrer is a “lying why does the Patriot cater it? figures to the public? Why does not the editor or his pumerous
subs ‘‘seek and find?’ The truth is, the editor ot the Patriot believes every statement we make, but it does
not sait his circumstances to acknowledge his belief ia this respect. Therefore, he says with his pen we lie, while bis own actIVUS prove the truth is m us,

And here we may remark that, if members | of the Institute desire to see their speeches | correctly reported, we ask them to be some- | what more explicit and definite in their re- |marks ; for we have not yet reached that exactness which enables one to report what speakers tended to pay. linmediately following this digression | Dr. Leeming was called upon by the | President to read an essay on ‘*Decimal | Notation.” The audience was small but appreciative. The Dr. started with Egyp- tian numerical characters, carrying us along through the Hebrew, Greek, Roman, |Runie and Sanesorit or Arabic notation, giving an historical review of those charac- ters, showing by charts the several marks representing numbers, and explaining bow the several characters assumed their forms both in writing and sculpture. The Doctor has always something fresh for his hearers; and in this instance he was not behind former oceasions, his essay being interlarded |with many instructive and interesting comments. The chief speakers were Messrs. D. Montgomery, J. McSwain and the President.

There are twenty vacancies in the Car- linals’ College. Although by recent ap- pointments the number of ltalians has been reduced, they still propomderate. One solitary survivor, Cardina! Schwartzenberg, Archbishop of Prague, owes his appvint ment to the predecessor of Pius TX., and nas, therefore, held his high position for nearly half a century. Thirty-seven were created by Pius IX , and already twenty have been elevated to the cardinalate by the present pontiff, while twenty vacancies remain to be filied.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. |
A Third House.
Sin, —Is it true that in this Province we have three Houses before which all public business must pass before becoming law ?
{t is rumored that the third house is composed of a society of lawyers, who have members among both political parties in the House of Assembly; and one of the objects of the auciety is to veto or obstruct any legislation that is not supposed to advance the interest of the legal profession, or the clients of such as have money enough
in legal proceedings, or lessen the revenues tu be derived by those non-producers from the labor of the producers of the country.
If this is the case, and the legal pro- feasion have the power to dictate what levislation shall take place and what petitions to the legislature shall be acted upon by Parhament, it will be a strong argum nt to be used in favor of @ legislative union of the Maritime Provinces, as In a larger community such a society would not be likely to have the same influence in proportion to their number in the govern- ment of the country, as they appear to have in this Province.
Yours, etc., LAYMAN.
CURRENT NOTES.
An agitation in Bale, Switzerland, against the priestly control of education has re- sulted in a popular verdict against the con-
tinuance. The Grand Council submitted
the question to vote, The ballot- box showed that 4.479 were in favor of committing the schools to the care of
laymen, while only 2,910 voted for clerical control.
The building of the Jong-projected Roman Catholic cathedral in London is about to be begun. As was to be expected, it is to be on ascale of great magnificence. The site is that occupied by Tothill Fields Prison, and has been purchased for $575,- 000. The estimated cost of the building itself is shout $25,000,000. In magnitude
the structure will surpass Westminster Abbey. It is Cesigned to be 570 feet in
length and 350 in breadth, Westminster Abbey being 511 feet in length and 203 feet across the transepts.
The Dominion Government have decided to yield to the pressure of the regular life insurance companies and will abandon the bill for this session at least, amending the General Life Insurance Act of 1877. The bill, which has passed its first reading, places mutual benefit and co-operate life associations under the General Life Insurance Act, making it compul- sory for all American concerns of this character to take out licenses and deposit fifty thousand dollars with the Government as security for insured, while Canadian associations are not obliged to make a deposit, although subject to inspection. The regular life insurance companies hold that no distinction should be made, but that all, whether American or Canadian, should be compelled to make the deposit. In view of these representations, no further action will be taken on the bill this session.
The Catholic directory for 1874 gives the following statistics of the Catholic Church in the United States: There are 13 arch- bishops, 57 bishops, 6,385 priests, 1,651 ecclesiastical students, 6,613 churches, 1,159 chapels, 1,476 stations, 22 ecclesiastical seminaries, 87 colleges, 599 academiss, 2,582 parochial schools, 481,834 pupils at- tending the parochial schools, 204 asylums, and 139 hospitals. There has been an in- crease during the last year of 289 priests, 217 ecclesiastical students, 372 churches, 6 colleges, 20 academies and 41 parochial schools, and in the aitendance an increase of 53,192 pupils, and 19 asylums. The number of Catholics in the country is given at 6,623,176. The number of Roman Catholic clergy in England is 2,176. Scot- land added six to her list of clergy during the year. The number of churches, sta- tions and schools in Scotland and England increased fifty-one per cent. during the past twelve months. England has one arch- bishop and fourteen bishops, and Scotland two archbishops.
Madison Square Congregational Church, New York, has been for months in a state of great perturbation. Stormy meetings have from time to time been held, the scenes at which occassionally rivalled the animation at political partizan assemblages, The present pastor of the congregation, Rev. Mr. Newton, was and is a minister in connection with the Methodist Episcopal body. He entered on an engagement to supply ihe pulpit of Madison Square Con- gregational Church. After a time a number in the congregation thought he should either consent to be formaliy installed as a Congregationalist minister or retire. Dr. Newman and his friends objected to the proposal aud the antagonism subsequently became intense. A council has just decided that the course proposed by what is termed the Old Church party is the proper one to follow, and they advise the calling of a meeting to finally end what has been a long, unseemly and bitter contention, All parties in this militant congregation seem now inclined to manifest a conciliatory spirit.
It is pretty clear that among the other storm-clouds lowering over England a regency now impends. That which has long been coming seems at last to have eome. The Crown is politically faineant; yet a great change in the social character of the Court might in the present frame of the public mind be attended with political effects. The Prince of Wales went into life with an excellent disposition; nor in be- coming a voluptuary has he, like most voluptuaries, become heartless or forgotten old friends who are entirely outside his pre- sent circle. He had the misfortune to loose, at the critical moment, the three men who might have stayed his youthful steps in the slippery path, his father (whose hand, however, was rather too tight), the Duke of Neweastis, and General Bruce. Bad men,*and women as bad, of course, soon beset the unguarded heir to the throne. The pleasures of Mariborough House have not been like those of Carlton House, grossly scandalous; yet the company kept there has wrought the most serious mis- chief by lowering the tone and standard of society. It is possible that if the Prince comes into a position of high responsibility the sun may break through the clouds; but suns do not often break through the clouds a ths aye of furty-threy.— Dyin,
