THE DAILY

Rev. Prof. Burwash’s Lecture.

A large audience, presided over by T C James, Esq, listened to the lecture of Rev. Professor Burwash on ‘‘ Water.”” After quoting some of the grand things said and sung about water, the lecturer referred to the works in nature’ in which water was the agency used by the Divine Hand. The strata of the earth, the soil on ita surface, the mines of iron and other metals were laid down in their | places by meansof water. The water which | moistens the air which surrounds the earth | is & screen protecting all that lives upon the | earth from the sun and from the frost. | Water, carbonic acid and ammonia are the | most important things in nature, anc water is, perhaps, the most import-| ant of all. Fifty-five per cent. of| the very driest wood is nothing} but water. Several exceedingly el illustrations of the powers of water were given by the lecturer and Dr. Leeming; and altogether the lecture was very instructive and pleasing. The lecturer acknowledged the kindnes of Dr. Leeming and Mr. James; and on motion of Charles Palmer, Esq., received a hearty vote of thanks.

Supreme Court. Tuvurspay, Noy. 22.

John McMillan vs. Benjamin Mutch— This was the first cose calied on this morn ing, and it lasted nearly all day. It appears that the plaintiff issued a bailable writ against the defeadant, under which he was arrested and committed to Summerside jail. The defendant afterwards made an applica- tion to set aside the writ and to be dis- charged from arrest on the grounds (1) that the affidavit of debt under which it was issued was insufficient, the cause of action not being gutticieatly stated, and (2) that the writ itself was irregular in not being exactly in the form laid down by law. This application wes heard before Chief Justice Palmer, who decided on the first ground that the aflidavit was defective, and he therefore set aside the writ and ordered the defendant to be discharged. From this decision the plainuff appealed to the foll court aud the appeal was argued at length to-day and judgment reserved. Peters & Peters fer the , laintiff...Hedgson, Q. C., for the defendant,

George Howatt vs. John - Modre—This case ied at Sironiérside in October last, and a verdict found for the defendant. A role nisi was afterwards obtained to get this verdict aside and for a new trial on the ground of misdirection. The argument to-day wason this ruleand jadgment re- served. F.

The Canadian Pacific Ralway.

AN INTERESTING LETTER FROM SIR FRANCIS HINCKS.

In a letter to the New York Graphic, Sir Francis Hincks says : ‘ The amount placed, including the last $10,000,000, has been $65,000,000. The first $10,000,000 was taken at 50, and the remainder at higher rates, so that it is probable that the $65,000.000 issned has not realized more than $36,000,000. The Government of Canada is authorized to sell terminal an- nuities, and it seems that in order to in- crease the value of their stock the directors of the Canadian Pacific have borrowed three per cent. annuities terminable on August 17, 1893 for the whole §$100,- 000,000, but of this only $65,000,000 is to be paid at once. Their original guarantee was five per cent. during construction, which, it is expected, will be completed in the spring of 1886. It may be well to cor- rect another error in Saturday’s Gruphic. The aggregate resources of the Canadian Pacific were placed at $55.000,000, conaist- ing of cash bonds $25,000,000, land grant $25,000,000, and stuck $5,000,000 Now, it will appear from what has been stated above that the steck already placed has produced about $36,000,000 and the re- mainder unpaid will probably bring on or aboutj$20.000.000. There is another item of $30,000,000, the value of certain sections of the read contracted for by the Government before the bargain was made with the syndicate, and which were handed over to them free of cost. One of these sections is between Prince Arthur’s Land- ing, at the head of Lake Superior, and Win- mipeg, and has been already handed over complete. The other is in British Colum bia, and is being constrasted by a firm of United States contractors of high standing [t will, therefore be necessary to add $66, - 000.000, instead of $5,000,000, to the $50,000,000, making 81 16,000,000, irre-

714,090 to its shipping—almost double that

spective ot the $35,000,060 of stock in the hands of the Government. It is generally believed that the land will produce more than the esti s many sales have heen acre. In Canada the

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

A Protest.

Sir,—I understand that the Protestant Hospital Comn.itiee are about to purchase the residence of Mrs. H. Haszard for an hospital. As a contributor to the fund I must enter my protest, through your col- umna, against this proceeding. I have good and many reasons for doing so. Here ere a few :

Ist. The situation is too public. The travel from the leading farming districts northwest and west of the city makes so much bustle and noise on the macadamized roads that patients cannot possibly lie comfortably in the wards.

Zad. The house and premises qre totally unsuited for an hospital, inasmuch as yard room is small, and the house being square and only two stories high, gives no accom- modation for patients or nurses.

3rd. An hospital such as is demanded by the Protestant (denominations shoulid be more pleasantly situated than the building selected.

To remedy this 1 would suggest that the committee give their attention to some more suitable place in the suburbs. Now the Franklin House is, in my opinion, ad- mirably situated, and weil suited for the purpose.

It has ample and comfortable rooms indoors for patients and attendants, while the grounds outside are just what is re- quired for the use of invalids.

Huping that the committee will give this matter their attention,

I remain yours, ete., . Con TRIBUTOR. Nov. 21, 1883.

Mr. Wm. Howe, of the interior depart- ment, son of the late Hon. Joseph Howe, is dangerously ill of typhoid fever. Smati hopes are entertained of his recovery.

A motion has been made at Osgood hall to commit the Hon.

In New York last week 39,900 shares of the Canadian Pacific railway company changed hands—the face value being $5,900,000,—as against 76,000 shares ia the previous week. This diminution is claimed to be a confirmation of the re- port that the stock is being cleared off the New York market and shipped to Europe.

The St. John Telegraph reports : Two residents of Angusta, Me., Messis. George Hunt and James Keegan, are at present in the city, having just returned from a trip to Prince Edward Island, where they have invested in a number of horses. The horses, seventeen in number, are fine speci- mens of Island stock and are all in excellent condition. These gentlemen are doing an extensive business in this line, having made several purchases this fa!).

The growth of the town of North Sydney, Cape Breton, has been remarkable. Ten years ago the population was less than 1,500; it now exceeds 4,000. In the same time real estate bas increased in value five hundred per cent., five churches have been erected by as many denominations, and there is not a vacant house in the town. Then as to the employment of Jabor, some four hundred ship carpenters and laborers are engaged ou the dock and the marine railway, and nine tanneries, a shoe factory, afoundry, two furniture factories and a machine shop are in operation. But the most noticeable increase has occurred in the trade of the port. In 1879 the tonage of vessels calling at North Sydney was 245,220 tons, in 1882 it had increased to 455,492 tons, and this year a further gain of 25 per cent has been made, The tonnage of vessels arriving at this port in the Do. minion, being exceeded only by Que- bec, Halifax and Montreal, while to October 23rd, 1883, 1,106 vessels had arrived, against 881 in the correspond. ing period in 1882. The increase in coal shipments has been equally marked, the export having risen from 228,062 tons in 1878 to 313,257 tons in 1882, while in the first ten months of the current year 488,00 tons have beea shipped, and an additional quantity of 54,000 tons is expected to be exported before the close of the year.
