ISLAND,
Royalty and Art at Montreal.
‘Lhe formal opening of the new Art Gal- lery, which took place at Montreal on Mon- day, wasan event of great interest to the citizens which was heightened by the pres- ence of His Excellency and Her Highness the Princesss Leuise. Eight o’clock was the hour set for the reception of guests, but long before that hour ladies and ¢entlemen in full dress began to assemble. Carriage after carriage rolled up to the = en- entrance until nine o'clock, at which time not less than a thousand persons were pres- ent, the ladies displaying most elegant and fashionable toilets. At ten minutes past nine, the Governor General and Princess Louise arrived, attended by Lady McNa- mara and Major DeWinton, A. D. C. Their Excelliencies were received by the Council of the Association—Hon Justice Mackay, Hon. Thos. Ryan, R. W. Shepherd and Peter Redpath—and escorted te the Retir- ing Room in the rear of the building. This room is beautifully furnished and several choice paintings adorn the walls, some being pencil sketches by Harlow, the favorite pupil of the late Sir Thomas Lawrence.
After a little delay the august visitors were conducted to the Grand Gallery, where they took their places on a dais erected in the eastern end of the room. The Presi- dent of the Council of Arts, Mr. Justice Mackay and the other members, ranged themselves in front of the dias, and the President read an address detailing the history of the foundation of the Art Gal- lery, which takes its rise from the mun- ificent gift of a former merchant of this city, late Mr. Gibbs.
His Excellency briefly replied, congratu- lating the Board on the possession of such asplendid building and fine collection of pictures for the benefit of the citizens. He expressed a hope that the time would soon arrive when they would have a Royal Academy for the promotion of art. He concluded by declaring, amid applause, the Art Gallery open.
After a few introductions, their Excel? lencies took their departure for the hotel. The exhibition comprises noble gifts of 72 choice pictures bequeathed by the founder, twelve belonging to the Association and the loan collection, aggregating 282 oil paint- ings, water colours and sketches. Her Royal Highness, the Princess Louise, has contributed four paintings from her own easel. They comprise an oil portrait of the grand-mother of Lord Lorne, a copy, and three out-door sketches of Scotch scenery. Her Royal Highness was dressed in white silk, with pearl necklace, and diamonds in her hair. His Excellency was in plain evening dress without any decoration. Soon after their Excellency’s departed the as- sembly began to disperse. A guard of honor of the Victoria Rifles, with their band, was in atiendance.
MontreaL, May 27.
Her Royal Highness the Princess Lottise, accompanied by Lady MacNamara, walked into the city from the Windsor Hotel to- day, in the forenoon, and visited several of the principal dry goods establishments in St. James and Notre Dame streets, inspect- ing also, en passant, various public build ings. Her Royal Highness expressed her- self especially pleased with the new post office and Bank of Montreal buildings, and stood admiring the architecture of the latter for several minutes. At ten o'clock this p. m. the vice-regal party, accompanied by a number of leading citizens, left for the back river, where their Excellencies visited the Convent of the Sacred Heart and were accorded a brilliant reception.
Orrawa, May 23.
The Governor-General and _ Princess Louise will formerly visit St. John, N. B., during the summer. It is said that two
very handsome cars are being constructed by the Gilbert car manufactory at Troy, for the Marquis of Lorne. They are calcu- lated to run on any road, and will be used in conveying the Marquis angl Princess Louise on their extended trip in Western Ontario. The Vice-Regal party will stay a week at Halifax, and will also visit St. John, after their trip West to Kingston and Toronto. According to present inten- tions they will return to Ottawa in time for the celebration of Dominion Day, after which it is not unlikely that they will make ashort visit in consort to the United States. There is some talk ef getting up a grand celebration here on Dominion Day; and invite regiments from Montreal, Tor- onto and Quebec to participate. Kryaston, Ont.; May 27.
The Dean of Ontario is to preach before the Marquis and Princess on Sunday, a.m.
The programme for Queen’s ‘College, on Friday, is made known. The principal, professors, graduates and students are to meet at 10.30 and, marshalled by Mr. Mc- Intyre, M. A., they are to meet the-Gov- ernor and Princess as they enter the grounds, and conduct them to the platform, where a special convocation will take place, and where the degree of L.L. D. will be} conferred upon the Marquis. An address will al o be presented by Hon. J. Hamilton, as chairman of the board of trustees. After the convocation the Marquis and mayor will make addresses to the assembled audience.
Larex.—Both the Governor and Prin- cess will lay a stone and plant memorial trees. The gradnat2s and others will lunch
at the close’ ef the ceremonies in Convoca- tion Halli. There will bea military escort from “‘A” battery, ‘“‘Cavalry,” ‘‘Collece

The Anglo-Afghan Treaty. |
The principal points of the Anglo- Afghan | treaty are already known. In addition to! these the treaty provides :—
That henceforth there will be peace and |
. . . . i frieudship between the contracting parties; |
That British sympathizers in Afghani;tan | will be amnestied ; -
That the Ameer will be supported against | foreign aggression ;
That the British resident at Cabui will be provided with a proper escort ;
That he will have power to depute British agents to the Afghan frontier on special oc- CASLOTS ;
That the Ameer will be permitted to send agents to India.
A telegraph line to Cabul will be estab- lished. Commercial affairs form the sub- ject of a separate convention, to be conclud- ed for one year.
An Interesting Event.
The ordinary religious services at the Grafton Street Methodist Church, on last Sunday evening, were supplemented by an eccurrence which have been highly gratify- ing to the zealous pastor, Rev. Mr. Heariz, as well as to the congregation generally—in fact it was occasion when all Christians might rejoice. At the invitation of the Rev. Mr. Heartz over thirty persons, embracing heads of families and young men and women vacated their pews and took posi- tions around the communion rails in front of the pulpit, preparatory to being formally received into connection with the Methodist Church. The impressive ritual ef the church for the reception of members was read by the pastor, and each candidate was interrogated separately on doctrinal points. Adl having answered satisfactorily, the right hand of fellowship was extended to each of the candidates, and thus they were admitted into church fellowship.—J/~. Reporter.

All About:a Hat.
The London correspondent ef the Man- chester ‘* Guardian” writes :—‘ Mr, Rivers Wilson hasteft Egypt, and if ever the persorial history of the ' Khedive’s coup d'etat should be accurately recorded, may possibly be found that the cause of much of the trouble of last month could be hung upon a hat peg. Mr. Rivers Wilson, it seems, did not and would not wear a fez, and appeared, as to coat and hat, inthe Khedive's presence al ways inthe fashion of Pall Mall. Any- one who knows the Hrs: is aware of the gravity of such an innovation. At Con- stantinople and at Cario, Mahomedan rulers have had officers of every nationality in Eurepe. But Mr. Rivers Wilson is probably the first who insisted on appear: ing bareheaded and hat in hand in the sovereign’s presence. To Orientals it would seem that such a person could not possibly be in the Mussuiman service. It is the costume of a visitor or of a master. The Khedive himself would probably care little about the matter, but the reflection upon himself would be really serions in the eyes of an Oriental Court.”

The following appears as a Montreal des- patch to the St. John Globe of last evening:
‘‘ Hon Geo. Brown received a very kind and graceful note announcing tho fact that Her Majesty desired to confer the honor of Knighthood on him, and at the same time assuring him of the pleasure which it afford- ed His Excellency to be the agent by which the distinction was to be conveyed. Mr. Brown, however, felt it on the whole to be his duty not to this acknowledgment of his services asa public man, and his presence in the city on Saturday was for the purpese of expressing to the Marquis of Lorne, in person, his sense of Her Majesty’s favor as well as to ask permission to decline the re- ception of it.”

A Newcasrie despatch ofsthe 24th says :— *‘Tt was reperted here this morning that Campbell & Co.’s mill on Beaubeur Island was destroyed by fire at 12 o'clock last night, The mill was well fitted up for sawing deals, dimension lumber, clapboards, laths, shingles and barrel staves. No insurance. Wm. Me- Faydén, of Prince Edward Island, had an in- terest in the mill.”
