Velcome,. Louisa!

From casemate and castle and iron-clad ficet A welcome has boomed for Louisa ; Republican Jonathan starts to his feet To grasp the fair hand of Louisa.

And swift may the sentiment speed from our Isle To greet the Royal Louisa ; That heaven may graciously wreath in its smile The braw Callum More and Louisa. ~-SCOTSMAN, Ch’town, Nov. 26, 1878. Swearing the Governuer General into Office.

(Prom the St. John Sun.)

‘When the procession had reached the Provincial building, it halted while the Marquis and his party and leading officials entered the building, where the ccremon of swearing the Marquis into office took place.

The swearing in of the Marquis of Lorne as Governor General was one of the most interesting scenes of the day, although it was witnessed by comparatively few. The members of the Privy Council of the Do- minion

FIRST ENTERED THE ASSEMBLY CHAMBER,

and sat in the centra of the room with the Clerk of the Privy Council, Mr. W. A. Himsworth, and the Judge of the Supreme Court of Canada, Hon. Justice Ritchie, at each end of the table; after the members had taken their seats the Marquis of Lorne, H. R. H. Princess Louise and suite en- tered the room SURROUNDED BY THE STAFP.

On taking their seat the Marquis’ Secre- tary, Major DeWinton, handed him the book of oaths while Judge Ritchie handed him the Bible, whereupon the Marquis read the following oath :

GOVERNOR GENERAL'S OATH OF ALLEGIANCE,

“‘T, Sir John Douglas Sutherland Camp- bell, commonly called the Marquis of Lorne, do swear that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty, Queen Victoria, and will defend her to the utmost of my pewer against all conspiracies and at- tempts. whatever which shall be made against. her person, Crown or dignity, and I will use my utmost endeavors to disclose and make known to Her Majesty, her heirs and survivors, all treason and treacherous conspiracies which may be formed against her or them, and I do faithfully promise to maintain, support and defend, to the ut- most of my power, the succession to the Crown, which succession, by an act entitled ‘¢ An Act for the further limitation of the Crown and better securing of the rights and liberties of the subject,” is and stands lim- ited to the Princess Sophia, electress of Hanover, and the heirs of her body being Protestants, hereby utterly renouncing and abjuring any obedience or allegiance unto any other person claiming or pretending a right to the Crown of this Realm; and 1 do declare, that ne foreign prince, person, pre- late, state or potentate, hath, or ought to have, any jurisdiction, power, superiority or authority, gubernatorial or. spiritual, within the Realm; and I make this declara- tion upon the true faith of a Christian. So Help Me God.” :

After the Marquis had signed the above the Judge administered

THE OATH OF OFFICE as follows :—

1, ‘* You shall well and truly execute the

office and trust ef Governor-General of Can- ada, and the territories extending thereon; and duly and impartially administer jus- tice therein, so help vou God.” . 2. You shall do your utmost endeavor that all the clauses, matters and things con- tained in the several acts of Parliament, heretofore passed, and now in force, relat- ing to trade and Her Majesty’s Colonies and plantations, be punctually and bona fide pre- served according to the true intent and meaning thereof, so help your God.” .

3. ‘ You shall well and truly execute the office of keeper of the Great, Seal of Her Majesty’s Dominion of Canada, according to the best of your knowledge and ability, so help you God.”

While the jurat was being signed by the. Judge, the Governor General handed

THE GREAT SEAL

of the Dominion to the Secretary of State, Hon. Senator Aikins, saying, ‘‘ I hereby give into your hands the Great Seal of the Dominion for safe keeping.” At this mo- ment the Governor General's flag was hoisted over Admiralty House, all the city bells rung out a hearty welcome, and a salute of seventeen guns was fired from the ships and forts in honor of our newly-made Governor General and his Royal wife. The party then left the Provincial Building, and the procession reformed and proceeded.

The Ear! of Rosebery opened the winter course of lectures before the Edinburgh Literary Institution on the 6th of Novem- ber with an address, in the course of which he said that the late A. T. Stewart told him in New York that his only recreation from the toils of his enormous business was the occasional reading ot an ode of Horace.

Shere Ali’s Army.

The Amir’s army consists of some seven- teen or eighteen battalions of infantry, dressed in cast-off British uniforms, pur- chased for the most part at Peshawur; four or five regiments of light dragoons, similar- y rigged, and an artillery force, with per- haps a hundred brass guns. This comprises the regular army.

Mr. Spurgeon and the Canadians. Mr. Spurgeon, having been again urgent- ly invited by the churches of Canada a them a visit has written a characteristic let- ter, declining the offer, on the ground that

the claims of the work at home are too and pressing to permit of his leaving. en he does leave the post of actual service, he says he must seek absolute repose, but he could not get that in Canada, for when he sees the eagerness of the people to hear, he must preach, and to refrain from doing 80 is a greater strain than to deliver his soul. Hence he could only go to Caneda when he felt able to work hard, and that a'so is the time when he has most desire to be home.

~ -— << —— A. T. Stewart's Remaias.

The N, Y. Times of the 22nd inst. says the mysterious doctor, believed to be the chief conspirator in the Stewart grave rob- bery, has been fully identified as George A. Christian, the notorious Washington resur- rectionist. The Tribune denies the report- ed recovery of Stewart’s body and the ar- rest of the robbers. It says the chief ho of Mrs. Stewart, Judge Hilton and t police, is that, despairing of securing any reward for the unconditional return of the body, the criminals will quarrel among themselves, and each will hasten to betray the others, in the hope of being accepted as a witness for the State. ‘This policy has been urged by Judge Hilton and Inspector Murray from the first, and Mrs, Stewart has only lately consented to it. This ac- counts for the offering of a new reward, in which no mention of the return of the boéy

was made. ce oe

Miscellaneous.

Mr. Spurgeon is to receive a gift of $25,- 000 from his congregation on the comple- tion of his theological labors, December 31.

Serious charges of mismanagement are made against the nurses of the Montreal small-pox hospital, and an investigation will likely be held.

The Royal Commission at Victoria, B. C., has found that the late Governor of the Province had not been guilty of attempting to bribe a member of Parliament.

A correspondent of the London Daily News, having made some comments on the present system of calling British war ves- sels by such names as the Bouncer and the Insolent, the Pall Mall Gazette suggests, as an improvement, such mild names as the Ritualist and the Thoughtfal Radical.

. Appalling destitution exists among the mechanics and labourers of Sheffield in con- sequence of the business depression. Hun. dreds are living in tenements without clo- thing or furniture, which they have been forced to setl for food. They are without fuel, and dependent upon the charity of neighbors for subsistence.

It is said that Mr.-Tilley has received in- structions to represent to the British Gov- trnment that the adoption of the Pine River route, terminating at Bute Inlet, for the Canadian Pacific Railway, recommend:

ed by Admiral Deporsey and approved by’ the Home authorities for stragetic and.

other considerations, will involve an expen- diture of about $30,000,000 cver. the route terminating at Burrard Inlet, and that it is on the ground of the selection of the for- mer route being an imperial, as well as Co- lonial, necessity, that England is asked for a grant of £6,000,000 sterling to cover the the additional cost of construction.

Since 1828 no less a sum than $3,070,- 000,000, er $61,400,000 a, raised in London for foreign States. Of this, $785,000,000, or 26 per cent. ,is in en- tire default. . The Bankrupt states are Tur- key, Peru, Mexico, Venezuela, Honduras, Costa Rica, Paraguay, the Confederate States, Uruguay, Greeve, Bolivia, Ecuador, San Domingo, Guatemala, Poyais. and Li- beria. ‘The loans in partial default amount to $875,000,000 or 30 per cent. Spain owes $545,000,000, and the chances of her pay- ing are considered on a par with Turkey. Calculating that the Khedive of Egypt will keep his engagements, there are thus loans ijn entire or partial default amounting to $1,660,000,000 or 46 per cent of the whole.

A story which some would call charac- teristic, is told of Bismarck, when, in 1851, he arrived at Frankfort for the purpose of entering on the exercise of his first political office, as Prussian representative at the Diet of the since dissolved Con- federation. In his new capacity the now celebrated Chancellor paid a visit to the President of the Diet, Count Thun, a noble- man who had a very poor notion of the dig- nity of his high position. The Count re- ceived his visitor with séant ceremony, did not even ask him to sit: down, and con- tinued smoking his cigar. Herr Otto was, nevertheless, not taken aback. . Drawing forth his cigar case, with the utmost cool- ness he said, ‘‘May I ask your Excellency fora light?’ His Excellency shewed con- siderable surprise, but gave the light, and
