Mr. Heard is aware that he Directors are amply respot sible pecuniarily, and that if atithe ot his charyes were true, it would be asimple matter for the stock a Court of Law, but he sees by theiraction on the 2nd inst., that the stockholders ign ure his state- ments, and it is necessary, | herefore, for him: to concoct an account of the meeting, which should deceive the public and satisfy his vanity.

THE MARKETS.

The Toronto Mail's latest repert at hand, states that Enylish quotations showed a fall of Id. on ali sorts of wheat, and of 4d on corn, but markets «do mot seem to have been very much affected. Montreal was quiet. New York was dull. The west was unsettled, but elosed at a slight rise. Flour was neglected ; no sales reported, nor did there seem te be any enquiry ; vething would have been paid over $4.55 for ordinary super- ior extra, or $4.75 for extra Oats wanted, and 37e. freely bid, but none effered; indeed it was admitted by some that 37}¢. would be paid. Barley still imulemand; a lot ef 20,000 bushels of No, 2 lying at Brampton, Unt. changed hands for shipment westwards on p. t.; it is admitted, however, that prices were steady, and it appears that the round lets which have sold fer the States during the last fow days have gone at about 89 to 90c. fer No. 2, and 93 to v4e. for choice No. 2, but cars are not sure to bring these figures.

Seott Act is the leading topic of conversa tion about the House today, Vidal’s Bill, as amended will probably be reported to the Commons to-morrow, and it is expected that there will be an animated debate concerning it. There is a very strong im- pression in seme quarters that the measure will passin the House, but this must be accepted with allewance.

In the Banking and Commerce Commit- tee this morning, Mr Longley’s Bill to incorporate the Acadia Steamship Company, was passed.

During the coming summer, a number of agents of the Company represented here, a short time ago by Baron Legree, of Paris, will visit various parts of the Dominion, with the view of ascertaining the best points for establishing beet-root sugar fac- tories.

Hon. J. H. Pope acts as Minister of Railways and Oanals during Sir Charles Tuapper’s absence.

Just before the House rose the Speaker reported from the Senate Hon. Mr. Vidal's Bill in amendment of the Canada Temperance Act, as amended aceording to motion of Senator Almon. On motion of Mr. Ouimet the Bill was read a first time.

There was a lively episode in the House this evening betweer Mr. Anglin and the Minister of Justice, and as might be ex- pected, the member for Gloucester came out seeond best.

John W. Nally, of Balla, one of the traversers arrested on a charge of inciting to murder, isa half-witted fellow.
