The Crisis.

The Maii, in a leader on the Quebec crisis, says: ‘‘When M. Letellier was re- moved from Spencer Wood Mr. Joly lost the most powerful member of his Cabinet. Having once disgraced high office by enter- ing into the conspiracy of the 2nd of March, the ex-Lieutenant Governor hesitated at nothing, and the Premier had every con- fidence in his willingness to help his party throughout its difficulties, no matter how far constitutional precedent might be violated or the principles of responsible Government set at naught, but simul- taneously with M. Letellier’s exit, M. Joly became suddenly weak—so weak, in- deed, that in order to save himself he was forced to abandon the entire policy of the Government as laid down in the Speech froin the Throne. It is something new in the history of Parliamentary Government for a Ministry to withdraw their public measures, one after the other, out of sheer fright, and yet pretend that they still possess the confidence of the people's representatives.”

The Quebec correspondent of the St Johh Sun telegraphed on Monday night as follows:

‘‘The situation isunchanged. The Legisla- tive Council met to-day and refused to propose aconference with the Assembly, holding that such a proposal should come from the Lower House. Premier Joly remains ob- stinate. He personally declares that he will net resign on any account. It is rumored that he will try a vote of confid- ence. Ifso, Flynn, one of his supporters, will move an amendment recommending a coalition and concessions. Mr. Joly will not hear of coalition. If a conference be held, the {Council will not give way. Itis not supposed that Governor Robitaille will, in any event dismiss the ministry, but will, when it has failed to bring about the re- conciliation has charged it with, refuse to

nd a disseluiion. Mr. Joly will then

ve to resign. The Government talk of going to the country on the abolition of the Legislative Council. It is admitted en all sides that a new ministry could be formed intwenty-fo ar hoursand commandample sup- port, but nothing definite is known about a Premier. Ross, Robertson, Loranger, and Church are mentioned. Mr. Joly’s person- al pride, encouraged by Ministerial irrecon- cilables, is the main trouble, and moderate Liberals do not like to incur the odium by leaving the Government.

Competition in Gas.

a a ee

Mr. Cuartes Mitixer will exhibit the illuminating properties of the Watkins’ Patent Gas Attachment in front of the Market Hall, at 7.30 this evening. We learn that Mr. Millner intends introducing this Attachment for the purpose of compet- ing with the Gas Company in the lightning ef the city streets. He says he will be able to light the city for half the cost now paid for coal gas. ‘The following is a description ef the Attachment, taken from a circular :

“This Attachment can be agplied to any Street Lantern now in use, doing away with all street mains and service pipe; and the duration of the light can be graduated to any desired number of hours from the time of lighting. It consists of a Tank or Reservoir which is easily adjusted to the outside of any strect lantern; connected with the Reservoir from the inside is a pipe and valve, to which is attached the Watkins’ Solar Gas Burner, which is in itself practically a miniature gas manufactory. By means of a chemical pro- cess, the liquid, on its passage through this burner, is converted into gas, which gives a bright, steady flame, resembling the best coal gas. The material used in making the gas is re-distilled Naphtha or Gasolene of seventy- four degrees gravity, and is not affected by any degree of cold weather. The Reservoirs are of a capacity sufficient for a light of four- teen hours—the length ef the longest winter night. They can be gauged, of course, fora light of any number of hours under this, going out themselves at the time desired.”

———ie ee ———s—C—S Tae Revival of the iron trade in England which seems now to be eertain, is a hopeful sign. A London despatch states that the Wiyan Coal and Iron Company has made arrangements for starting another blast furnace which has not been in use for three years. The company has received sufficient orders for pig iron to take the out-put of five furnaces until the end of the year, and dec\ine to take further orders for delivering in 1879. Should this activity in the iron trade continue, other trades may soon be expected to feel the benefit of the improve- ment in business.

Good Words for Manitoba.

A letter,from Mr. T. Connolly, cerres- pondent of the Tendon Times, now in Manitoba, and written to a leading official in the Interior Department at Ottawa, says :—‘*This is the finest land in the world; { could never believe it until I came here, and I presume there are many more like me who are slow to credit every honest state ment in reference to the fertility of the creat North-west. However, I will make amends for it. When I go back I will send every one [ can from Great Britain to where they can get the finest land in the world on easy terms. I have been about a great deal, and visited the homesteads of men whom I find have done more in a few years towards making themselves and families comfortable than farmers in On- tario could have dene in a life time. This country, if settled up, will be the salvation of the Dominion, when her vast natural products can find a route to the sea over the railways and canals of the older Pro- vinces. I regret that I did net come up here sooner, that I might be able to see more of the country, but you may rest assured I will make the most of my time.”

A Comparison of Time.

As a means of comparison between Can- adian and American Scullers over a three mile course, we append the following table of times :—

min. sec. Hanlan at the Centennial Regat-

ta against Coulter and Thomas, 21 34

Hanlan against Luther & Plaisted

at the same place............ 21 544 Hanlan against Alex. Brayley at

eS Ere 21 Courtney at Saratoga in 1877.... 20 473 Warren Smith at Silver Lake.. 21 05 Smith on Bedford Basin...... 21 08}

It will be noticed that both Smith and Morris made better time at Silver Lake than was made on Monday, but this may be accounted for by the difference between fresh and salt water.

Ture Rev. Joun LaruHern, who is in Eng- land, sends an interesting letter to the Wes- leyan, in part describing the British§ Con, ference recently held at] Birmingham, in the course of which he says :—‘‘It is surpris- ing how large a proportion of the speaking is done by afew men. No one is allowed much license for digression. Woe tothe unfortunote brother who attempts to leave the Conference. The President, Mr. Gregory, exhibits admir- able tact in putting check upon any sign of un- reasonable impatience; and not unfrequently young men who presume upon their right to speak are indebted to the courtesy of the President for the opportunity of getting off a speech. In the main there seems to be less of order. and somewhat fmore of confusion and almost at times of clamor, than at our own General Conference. With a few rare and rich exceptions the interest and power of the debates was not up to the level of our recent Montreal Conference.

Tue Gazette d Ottawa says that Lieut-Col. Osborne Smith has left Winnipeg for the scene of the rumored Indian troubles. De- spatches received up! to the 27th inst., say that Sitting Bull is at Wood Mountains and that he is badly advised by a chief named Big Wolfe, who is inciting hostilies against §the Crees and Santaux Indians, and that one or two encountors had actually taken place. According to instruc- tions issued by the Hon. Mr. Masson, an order has been given to the Hamilton Powder Company for twenty thousand pounds of powder. The powder has been formerly imported from London, and it is said the Hamilton powder is just as good as the London manufacture, and cheaper. Five hundred military overcoats will also soon be advertised for, to be manufactured in Canada. It also the intention to pur- chase the paper formerly procured from Scotland, for the department from Canadian manufacturers.

Mr. GLADSTONE made a great speech at Chester a day or two before the departure of the latest mails. Several other promin- ent men were delivering addresses which savored of an early election contest. The Liberals wish to bring on a general election immediately ; the Conservatives wish to defer it. But if ‘‘ the unexpected always happens,” as Disraeli has it, who can pre- dict what will take place ?
