Millions .n the Canada Cattle Trade.

So long as Free Trade in England gives us the benefit of a free market for our ex- ports, there is encouragement to raise any- thing which is needed in the British Isles. Beef is one of the great wants, and our people have just begun to attempt to supply it. The Toronto Mail of the 13th publishes the following summary of the Ontario cattle trade with England :—

‘“‘The development of the Canadian export trade in live stock is an encouraging feature of our trade with the mother country. It is estimated that 41,000 thousand animals, worth one million dollars, were shipped during the last three months. Ata rough estimate, the steamship companies, independent altogether of railway connections, received upwards of $300,000. The increase of trade over that of thesame period last year was threefold. Canada is the only cattle raising country in the world that is free from contagious disease. All other countries are more or less affected by it, which necessitates the slaughtering of animals as the ports of entry, while on the other hand, Canadian cattle can be raised for any market and shipped alive. This gives at least an ad- vantage of thirty per cent in favor of the ex- portation of Canadian stock over all their competitors that cannot be so shipped. On- tario farmers cannot engage too largely in stock raising, in view of the constantly in- creasing market for fresh beef at good prices afforded by the mother country.”

Immigration.

Mr. Pope, Minister of Agriculture, has directed Mr. Dyke, the Government Agent at Liverpoel, to place himself in com- munication with tenant farmers in various parts of the United Kingdom, and in cases where a number of agriculturists are found to entertain the idea of emigration and are able to satisfy him that they are possessed of a fair ameunt of capital, he is author- ized to send out to Canada any one of their number whom they may select to report upon the character of the country, the terms on which improved farms may be ac- quired, and other matters of value. The expense of these delegates will be defrayed by the Dominion, and every facility will be afforded for seeing the country and be- coming acquainted with its resources. This is a good plan.

Sir John A, McDonald land.

A cablegrani to the ‘‘Mail” is as follows :

London, Aug. 14.—This afternoon the Right Honorable Sir John McDonald, Premier of Canada, was summoned to Os- borne House and sworn in a member of the Queen’s Privy Councl. Sir John was appointed a member of the Privy Council ir July 1872. The Right Hon. Gentleman was introduced to Her Majesty and leading members of the Government who were in attendance, by Sir Michael Hicks Beach, Secretary of State for the Colonies, and after the ceremony had a long interview with the Queen and subsequently dined at Osborne House with Her Majesty. What will the Grit prophets say now ?

m8 Lord Chelmsford.

According to English correspondents whe were present at the battle of Ulundi, Lord Chelmsford displayed skill and beldness which deserved the success then achieved. Mr. Forbes, of the London News, says:— ** Lord Chelmsford’s soldierly coolness and decisive clear-headedness in action go far to redeem the passiveness and peevish vaccil- lation which are his characteristics when no battle is raging. One might wish him a military Rip Van Winkle, only wakening to direct a battle.” Public feeling in Eng- land is gradually become less severe regard-

| ing his failure in the early part of the cam-

paign. Fortunately, he is able to return without the stigma of unredeemed failure.

Our Exalted Guests is what the King’s County (P. E. L.) Advertiser calls the Mar- quis and Princess. ‘‘ Vice Regal party” appears slightly objectionable, as a defini- tion, inasmuch as a real vice-royalty has not been established in Canada, and -‘ Our Exalted Guests ” is an excellent substitute. We thank thee, Advertiser for teaching us that word.—-Moncton times.

Reiter To Bucrovene.—The Governor General and the Princess have given $150 for which the Buctouche Committee desire to tender their most heartfelt thanks, The Local Government have given $750. His Honor Governor Chandler $100; St Jehn about $1,300 Shediac about $300, arid other places are, no doubt, coming to the aid of the suflerers liberally.

It is stated that King Alfonso and the arch Duchess Maria of Austria will have an interview during the coming month, and their marri will be solemnized by the end of October.
