The Meeting Last Night.

On of the largest and most enthueiastic public temperance meetings ever held in this city was held under tho auspices of the Grand Division 8. ef T., in the Market Hall last night. The Hal! was uncomfort- ably crowded. The G.-W. Patriarch, W. W. Beer, sqg., occupied the Chair.

The meeting was opened by a splendid address from Rev. Dr. Murray. Ne was followed by the Rev. G. W. Hodgson, who introduced and spoke at length to the fol- lowing Resolution :—

Resolved, That this meeting earnestly hepes that there will be no unnecessary delay in is- suing the proclamation to bring inte force the Canada Temperance Act, in those parts of the Province which have adopted the same,

The Resolution was seconded by Rev. A. McGilvray, in an able, earnest and teiling speech. Rev. J. McLeod supported it, and Rev. D. Fitagerald delivered an excellent closing address.

St. Patrick’s Band, which enlivened the evening by several airs, played the Nationai Anthem at the close, and the audience dis- persed, well pleased with the success of the

Sin Cuaries Tepper, commenting on the Island Railway, a few days ago; said :—

‘« That the revenue of the road in 1877-78 was $135,899, and for 1878-9 it was $125,855 showing a falling off in traflic, owing to the depression of business throughout the Is land having continued in a mere intensified form than during the previous year. The passenger traflic fell off consideraly, and owing te the sinall prices realized on farm produce, and fisheries, the freight business was greatly recuced. It was new paying tosend them by rail. .The operating ex-

penses were for 1877-78, $221,599; for 1878-79, $223,313; increase —in cost of working, $1.714. The increase

in the cost of working may be attri- buted to the heavy renewals ef sleepers, which was anticipated in the report of the previous year, there being 31,024 sleepers renewed ; also, to increase in wharf aceem- modation at Summerside and cost of re- pairs. The working expenses for the nine months ending the 3ist ef March, 1879, were $176,393, and for nine months of the succeeding year, $120,740—showing the actual saving to be $55,652. Tho receipts for the nine months ending 3ist March, 1879, were $96,561, aud for the correspond- ing period of 1880, were $84,252. These figures showed that the loss for the nine months ending 31st March, 1879, was $79.- 3831, and for the same period this year, it was $36,487.”

An IstanperR ABRroap..—Mr. Humphrey Mellish, son of Mr. James Mellish, of Lot 48, who was for several years a student at Prince of Wales College, has been dis- tinguishing himself at Dalhousie College, Halifax. Ata convocation held last week he stood the highest of the class of the second year and was awarded the first prize for classics, the St. Andrews prize for mathematics, chemistry and legic. Mr. Mellish’s marks, which were the highest, would have also entitled him to the North British Society Bursery had he been of Scottish parentage. — Patriot.

A Boom 1x Canaptan Coat.—lIt is said by a prominent Montreal coal dealer that the lowest price at which British coal can be laid down in Montreal by steamer for the next three menths, owing to high ecean freights, &c., is $5.78. Pictou ceal can be laid down in Montreal for $4.25, a differ- ence in favor of Pictou coal of $1.53. Cape Breton coal can be laid down in Montreal at $3.50, a difference in favor of Cape Breten coal of $2.28. Also that, having secured paying cargoes, steamers will ob- tain all their bunker coal for the return trip on this side instead of bringing it with them as usual frem Great Britain, and that ‘this will make a difference in favor of Canadian coal of thousands of tens. One steamship company has already given an order for 12,000 tons, delivered at their steamers at Montreal this summer.

Tre Cost or Supportinc tHE Roya Famity.—The total annual allewance to the Royal Family ef Britain is £546,000 atg., divided as follows : The Queen, £385,- 000; the Prince of Wales, £40,000 ; Prin- cess of Wales, £10,000; Crown Prince of Prussia, £8,000 ; Duke of Edinburgh, £25,- 000 ; Princess Christian of Schelswig Hel- stein, £6,000 ; Princess Louise, £6,000 ; Duke of Connaught, £25,000 ; Prince Leo- peld, £15,000; Duchess of Cambridge, £6,000 ; Duchess of Mecklenberg Strelitz, £6,000; Duke of Cambridge, £12,000; Duchess of Teck, £5,000. In addition to her annuity, the Queen receives the rents of the Duchy of Lancaster, £40,000 per an- num ; the Prince of Wales also receives the rents of the Duchy of Cornwall, £60,000 per annum.

Fire in Richmond, Me., en Wednesday, destroyed $110,000 worth of property, in- eluding several shee facteries, by which 200 persons lose employment.

The Bank of Montreal has reduced its half yearly dividend from 5 te 4 per cent for the current six menths. In view ef the contraction in business and the greater difficulty banks now have in earning divi- dends, the reduction is, according te the Monetary Times, considered by those best versed in financial affairs to be a wise step, though it falls hard on many whese income from this source is thus cut down one-fifth,

The British are inclined to appoint Abdul Rahman Khan Ameer. During religious services in the jail in Carson, Nev., and after a clergyman had addressed the prisoners on the text, ‘‘Hon- esty is the best policy,” a thief named Jones asked if he ceuld make a few remarks, Permission being given he said: “The expresssion that “‘ honesty is the best pol- icy” was first thrown out by Ben Franklin, an old humbug. I don't agree with Ben Franklin that honesty should be a policy dodge. If a man’s henest, he’s honest any- how ; and if he just simply keeps correct irom policy he’s a bad egg at heart, and only willing to get the confidence of the community and reb them out ef thousands. A man who is honest from pelicy would steal if he had the nerve and the chance.”
