Most respectfully yours, : W. S, LELAND, Concord, Mass, eae >---—

Tus prisoner Gillis received the news of the compautation calmly. He had given p all hope of a reprieve, and made every preparation to meet his God. 5 The gallows had been placed iu position in the north- s corner of the jail yard, the hangman secured, tickets of admission to see the execiition issued, and every preparation for the fatal day made. The past few days i been exceedingly trying ones to the unfortunate man. Sested in his lonely cell, listening to the hammering of nails, and other noises incite to the erection of the gallows, his feelings cam be better imagined than described. Every stroke of the hammer must have forcibly reminded him of the aneertainties of lifeand the nea roach of that day upon which it had been decreed he shou'd end bis career on earth, aad ‘go to that bourne from whence no traveller returns.”

- BILLS INTRODUCED.

Orrawa, March 8. Charlton introduced jment of seduction. Edgar introduced a bill to amend the Supreme Court of ' Canada Act, by providing that a Provincial Government iu doubt about the constitu. | tionality of Provincial Acts may, by inter- vention of the Governor-General in Council, | bring the question before the Court for | adjudication.

[un answer to Blake Thompson said, ex-

cept in few cases prisonera connected with | the rebellion wero not regularly committed ifor trial, but were taken in overt acts of rebellion and held for trial or discharged. | There were in all 46 half-breeds prisoners, | 81 Indians and 2 whites. Eighteen half- | breeds were tried for treason felony, one for |high treason and one for murder. These |}were all convicted. Eleven in all were discharged on their own recognizances of $400 each, to appear to receive sentence when called upon. Hight were discharged upon their own recognizinces to appear. |}One was discharged by order of Ganera | Middleton. Four were discharged a | Battleford. Of the Indians, 21 were tried ‘for murder. ‘Ten charged with treason \felony were discharged on promising to come up for trial of the white men.

Jackson, charged with treason felony, | was acquitted. Thomas Scott was dis- | charged on ground of insanity.

In answer to a question, Sir John said negotiations were entered into with Mr. O’Donohoe about his entering the cabinet in 1882. Mr, O'Donohoe found he could ‘not bring strength to the Government, and waived for consideration in favor of Sena’or Smith, who is now in the cabinet.

In answer, Carling said the total number of immigrants reported to have settled in | Canada in 1885 was 79,159

A Disturbed Loyalist Meeting.

_ Toronto, Oat , March 8. | A public meeting was heid here to-night | to express sympathy with the Loyalists in ireland. The hall was packed and hun- | dreds could not obtain admittance. Every {member of the Irish National Leagua was } present and the Orangemen, hearing they | had made arrangements to pack the house, turned out in fali force. During the even- ing, the speakers were constantly iuter-

lrupted with howls aud hisses and jangry feelixgs were thereby engen- dered. When the first resolution was being put to the meeting a

prominent Land Leaguer rose in the body of the Hal! and aaid he had an ameand- ment to offer. The wildest uproar fol- lowed. He made his way to the,platform, where he was surrounded by several ex- cited Orangemen, who, with uplifted sticks only waited an opportunity to strike him. In the body of the Halli the scene was werrible. Had a blow heen atruck, blood would have flowed freely, but for- tunately quiet was scon restored.
