MicHAkL tLANAGAN, who was lately tried, in Montreal, for the murder of Mary Gal- lagher, was drowned in the Lachine Canal, near Wellington Bridge. He was working on one of the canal boats, and was stepping from that one to another, when he slipped and fell between.the two. There is about 6 inches of ice on the canal, but it is thinner between the boats, and his fall broke through it. He went under, and was seen no more.

The second meeting will be held this Monday evening. Free to all,

Sim ALEXANDER Gatt at the dinner of the St. Andrew's Society in Montreal, said : ‘‘We have abolishe:! the connection between Church and State. All creeds and religions are alike in the eye of the law, and I often wonder how it is possible that those who really are friends to Canada can import into this country the discords and dissensions which have desolated their Mother country.” This remark was re- ceived with enthusiastic and prolonged cheer- ing.

At present there is at least one polygamist sitting Congress.

Co(a)tp Quarrers.—On Sunday morning a number of christian gentlemen, engaged in distributing tracts to sailors, were attracted to a coal shed on Queens wharf by the screams ofa woman. A barrel, full of heavy material, placed against the shed door prevented egress Un removing this, and opening the oor, a haggard, thinly-clad woman, apparently about forty years of age, appeared. She had been drunk on Saturday night, and, during her drunken stuper, wandered into the shed and slept in the coal, until the noise of footsteps awoke her on Sunday morning.

A CASE OF ROBBERY, a case and two at tempts at burglarly were reported by the

Late oa Saturday night the bars were removed trom the window of Mr. Sampson's boot store, Great George street. This was evidently doue by burglars who were, no doubt, frightened by the approach of some person, An attempt was also made to

KE have great pleasure in

informing our Customers that our first quarters business has been very satisfactory ; not only has the custom of our pre- decessor been maintained but largely augmented. The char- acter, style and prices of our Goods have given great satisfac- tion. We have still on hand a Good Stock of General and Fancy DRY GOODS, such as

few houses here can show, and

Our DRESS MATERIALS, Mantles and Cloths of every description are having a good run, whilst our Fur Goods are voing off in good style. The gentlemen find it economical to buy from us their Ulsters, Over- eoats and Reefers, as well as their Shirts, Linders, Ties, Xe.

At this season we would call special attention to our beauti- ful stock of FANCY WOOL WORK—in every shape and form, besides Wools of every deseription.

Our CARPETS are, without doubt, the cheapest in the city, and have sold well. Intending purchasers will serve their own interests to call ere they all go. It is not every day such oppor- tunities occur for furnishing at a cheap rate.

In the work we have given ourselves of giving ‘ Good Goods for little money,” we have so far had the co-operation of the Public, which, if continued, cannot fail, in the end, to largely benefit us and all who favor us with their custom.

We have made up our minds to gain and deserve a large share of public patronage and support, which we are sensible will be the result of industry, courtesy, and an assiduous! attention to each of our numerous customers, aswell as to each branch of our business.

Mantle and Dress Making is done on the premises by the Misses CurRRIE.
