Special Despatch to Examiner.

Orrawa, April 10.

Hon. James C. Pops read a telegram in the House last night, showing the result of elections in the Island. The report was re- ceived with great enthusiasm by the Liberal- Conservatives.

McKenzie abused Pope for introducing Local politics, and. sneered at the Island politicians. Ele was called to order, and Mr. Pope proceeded with his speech.

Mr. Brecken followed with one of the best speeches of the session—resenting the insult to the Island politicians and vindi- cating the intelligence of the Island people. He referred to the fact that McKenzie sneered at them in his first speech of the session.

Mr. Brecken’s speech took the House by surprise, and created intense excitement. He was cheered to the echo; and many people in the galleries rose to their feet.

The House sat all night, and a vote was taken on the tariff at a quarter to six this morning. In favor of the tariff, 136 ; against, 58. Sixteen members were ab- sent ; Masson and Langevin were away and some members had retired to rest.

Anglin spoke against time to stave off vote.

Lonpon, April 10.

An agreement has been arrived at by Turkey and Austria that the latter occupy three towns cn the river Lowe on the out- skirts of Novi Buzia, commanding all practicable crossings.

The Roumelian- Commission has also set- tled another point with the Porte including our allowing Turkey one-third of the reve- nues of the Province.

The Porte is preparing a new course rel- ative tothe Greek frontier to anticipate army meditation by the Powers.

A Paris corresppndent says: ‘‘ [t is net true that an Anglo-French squadron will go to Alexandria.” The withdrawal of the firman, declaring that the vice-royalty of Egypt is heriditary, will be the first stage, after which the Khedive can be deposed at any moment.

Pustn, April 10.

Seventeen thousand persons in Sagardu and neighborhood are still subsisting en charity. It has been raining ten days, and the supply of bread is becoming exhausted. The total loss of life by drowning up to the 6th was 77. The lower portion of the place is still submerged by six to twelve feet of water, and it will take over a hundred days to pump out the water.

Rog, April 11.

The Pope’s letter concerning education has great importance, and directly confirms the impression that the Pepe understands the liberty and dignity of tho Papacy to consist in removing from Rome all means of practising and propagating whatever the Church holds heretical, and that his gradual. | ly increasing insistence on the restoration of temporal power is promoted by the con- viction that until the Pontiff regains tem- poral sway it will be impossible to prohibit liberty of worship and instruction here.

A xew item of protection is being agitated! in Nova Scotia. A lady correspondent in! the Halifax Recorder says: ‘‘It is noticeable , almost every week, by the marriage announce- | ments in the daily papers that our young men. go abroad for wives and bring them into this, country without paying any customs duty.”’ | The correspondent thinks this is unfair, as there is a surplus of the home article, and sug- | gests that there should be both a specific, and | according to age duty imposed, sufficiently | heavy to keep our young men at home. Some- | thing in this way : On Girls married abroad and brought

into Nova Scotia, $500 specific duty. |

On girls between 16 and 2}, $250 Between 21 and 30, 150 “Between 30 and 40, 100 Over 40, free. ee
