The Pacific Railway. toa state verims

Tue Montreal Gaz-tie refers ment of the Bystander respecting the of the Pacitic Railway contract; and says. ‘The Parliament of Canada is committed to the construction of the Pacific Railway, and no less than three elections have occurred since that decision was arrived at, without in any case any leading public man under- taking to dispute the obligation which the country had assumed. In 1872 the electors gave Sir John Macdonald’s Government a majority, and the leading question at that election was the Pacific Railway. When the elections occurred an agreement had actually been made with a company to build the read from Lake Nipissing to the Pacific Ocean, precisely the line which is now contracted for, and the amount to be given was $30,000,000 in anoney and 50,- 000.000 acres of land. The Bystander as sumes in the calculation which it makes that the land is worth at least $2.50 an acre. that is, it is assumed that the Govern- ment by selling the land, would realize a net profit equivalent to $ 34,000,000 for 25,- 000.000 acres. Assuming this to be true, the arrangement made with the company 1n the session of 1872, and which was approved by the electors at the election of 1872, in- volved an expend.t ire of $158,000, 00, that is, $30,000,000 of eash and 50,000,000 acres of land, worth, at the price fixed by the Bystander, $128 ,000, 000 So that the bargain today, even at the fivures given by the Bystander. is better than that which the electors approved in 1872,by $38,000,000.”

a tp am Voters not Vetes.

In a painstaking analysis of the electoral voting at the last two General Elections in Great Britain, Mr. Alfred Trisby finds that the great Conservative majority in 1874, instead of being 75, ought certainly to

- have been only 37, and more probably the Liberals ought to have had a majority of 17. This would have been the case if voters not votes had settled the question. In 1880, instead of a Liberal majority ot 123, there ought strictly tobe only 47, though more properly it ought to be 60.

This is strange, for it shows that with the present system of elections, a country may be governed by a party elected by a minority of electors. No doubt this ques tion will form an important one before leng.

Another strange and telling fact gained frem the analysis is:—In 1874, tie Liberals polled 42 per cent. of the registered elec- tors, the Conservatives 35 per cent.

In 1880 the Liberals polled 52 per cent. of the registered electors., the Conserva- tives 51 per cent.

Between 1874 and 1880 the registered electors increased 11 per cent., the Liberal voters 37 per cent., andthe number of Conservative voters was substantially un-

altered.

Perhaps these facts account for the oppo- gition of certain members te the extension of the Franchise in the Old Country.

Historical Research.

Frw readers of History consider the enormous labour demanded from the accu- rate historian. The chief is, perhaps, that of verifying his facts with the manuscripts ofthe time. in England there are several MSS. libraries, which, from the discredit- able way of indexing their contents, are a source of terror to historical students, and of preat annoyance to historians. The follewing is a striking instance, aud proves that something more than just trusting. to the original svurces is required.

In the Cottcnian Library of MSS., the volume B. IL. has the following entry:— ‘9g, Tho. Wuley (sic) to the Bishop of Winchester (Wolsey) various news from Court, particularly about the intelligence received of Pope Leo X., the dangerous illness and the succession. Windsor, Sept. 30, 1521.”

There are no less than four mistakes 10 this eutry. It is not ‘*Wnhiey,” but ““Wulcy,” being no less than the signature of the famous Thomas Wolsey, before he was made Cardinal, or even held a Bishopric. Consequently, Wolsey was not, at that time, Bishop of Winchester; during the time he was Bishop of Winchester he was also Archbishop of York and Cardinal, so that he would have been sure to be addressed by his higher dignities. Fur ther, the date could not possibly be 1521, else the writer would have signed hinsel! as Cardinal of York, and not ample “Thomas Wulcy, and lastly, for the same reason, the Pope, who was dangerously ill, eould not possibly have been Leo X. In fact letter was written nine years earlier than the date assigned, the Bishopof Win- chester was Fox, and@he Pope, whose ill- ness was reported, was Julins II.

I'he Cattle Trade.

The Montreal Gazetie says :—Cable ad vices just received from Glasgow, Edin- burgh and Liverpool, state that geod Can- adian cattle are doing much better and selling freely at 74c @ 8c per lb., with future prospects good.

The SS. ‘‘ Thames,” hence for London, arrived at her destination on the Ist inst., having lost 53 head of cattle overboard. The SS. ‘‘Govino,” hence fer London, arrived on the Ist, having lost 55 cattle on the voyage out of a cargo of 118 head. The 8S. ‘‘ Orchis” also lost 94 head overboard.

?

Lave reports from British trade centres show that a solid business revival has set in throughout Great Britain, though some ap- prehension is felt lest Mr. Gladstone’s pen- chant for ‘‘naval demonstration,’ and so forth, should bring on serious foreign compii- cations. Itis said that there is far from a

1 understanding between the German and Brisish Governments just now. Bismar: k's faith in Russian philantrophy does not appear to le as childlike and blandas Mr, Glad-

Annual Meeting of the Diocesan Church Society.

eS

The Thirty-seventh Annual Meeting of the Diocesan Church Society was held in St. Paul’s School Room, on Wednesday evening, the 10th November, 1559, at 74 v’elock, p m., His Honor the Chief Jus- tice in the chair.

Afier singing and prayer, the Chairman briefly addresred the meeting, drawlag attention to the varivus vbjects in support of which the Society was tormed, and in- viting any gentleman present to make such observations with reference to these objects as would promote the best interests of the Society, and cause the meeting to be a profitable one.

The Secretary then read the Annual Report, stating that as all the collections had not been yet received, the Treasurers report would be deferred till the adjourned the 2nd February

would

meeting on Wednesday, next, when the accustomed reports be read and passed.

On invitation being given by the Chair- man te discuss the 12th Bye Law, and to

offer any suggestions for the interests of the Church, the following gentlemen took

discussion: —Messrs. C. Palmer, R. R. Kitzgerald, 8. H. Davies, B. War- burton, F. T. Newbery, H. J. Cundall, Revs. A. Osborne, D. Hind, T. B. Reagh, Ven. Archdeacon Read, T. Johnstone, R. W. Dyer, and D. Fitzgerald. The fol- lowing resolutions were then put to the meeting and unanimously adopted :—

That thanks be given to Almighty God forthe late harvest and other gifts of His Providence during the past year; and to the 8S. P. G. and C.C. 8. for their con- tinued help to the Church in this Province.

That as the time of holding the annual meeting in November has been found in- convenient, inasmuch as the collections are not taken up before it takes place, and therefore there are no funds to report up- on, or to distribute at the time of making the annual grants, it is deemed expedi ent to return to the old time of holding the meeting ; viz.:

Ist Wednesday in February—thus giving time for the collections to be made before the meeting occurs.

That this. meeting be adjourned to the first Wednesday in February next.

‘hat the ofticers and members of the Executive Gommittee be the same as last year.

That the Chief Justice be one Vice Presidents of the Society. After the singing of the Missionary Hymn, and a collection taken up, the meeting was closed with the accustomed benediction.

Dear Sir,—Is-the light house at Souris ever going to be lighted? What is wanting? is it material? If so, can it not be procured in the Domiuion? Where is the visitor of ighthouses? Where is Stone? Where is Aylward? is three months more going to pass away before this work is completed, when the specified time was August 10th.

Souris is the commercial centre of King’s County, where vessels of graded draught daily discharge and load during the autumnal season. Mariners eagerly e: quire why the tower is not lighted, while it stands as a monument of prodigality to the nautical world.

Sir,— Last evening I happened to be present at the D. C. 5. meeting, and en- joyed the speeches very much ; but one thing I want explained: The Rev. Dr. Read stated that there were no ‘ channels of grace in the Church.” Is this the teach- ing of the Church of England ?

IN COMBINATION with other Journals, the American Agriculturist is now much more largely used than ever before. While agri- culture is the most important of all pursuits, its profitableness is coming more and more to depend upon improved labor-saving, labor helping mechanical appliances. Illustrative engravings of various labor-helping contri- vances, implements, animals, plants, build- ings, ete., are indispensable in supplying the information most desired by cultivators gene- rally. its special facilities for supplying such engravings, as weil as other reliable information generally, makes the American Agricalturist a very appropriate ‘“Companion,”” or Supplement, to any other Journal, and for this purpose it is supplied at the lowest possi- ble rates.

It is officially reported that the Austral- asian Provinces reaped at their last wheat harvest two and three-quarter million acres of land, only 300,000 acres. less than those under wheat this year in the Umited King dom.
