Some Quebee merchants resolved, some time ago, to send a vessel to share in the seai erop from which at times Newfoundland mer- chants made handsome fortunes. Accordingly a suitable steamer was equipped for the work. She set out from Quebec last Tuesday, but on Thursday, having been seriously injured by the ice, wascompelled to take refuge at Riviere du Loup, and will have to return to Quebec for repairs. She may possibly be able to reach the ice fields in time to take part in the gleaning of the sealcrop. The .Vews says: ‘*But her expience, taken in connection with the experiences of the ‘‘Northern Light” in the Straits of Northumberland, tends to deepen the impression that the winter naviga- tion of the Gulf of St. Lawrence is rather to be desired than expected, until the Straits of Belle Isle are closed to the infiux of. the polar currents, and that projectis not likely to be realized at an early day.

To the Free and Independent | Hiectors of Charlottetown and} Royalty.
GENTLEMEN, —Having been nominated a Candidate to represent the town and royalty in the House of Assembly, I pro- mise, if elected, to forward the various in- terests of the City entrusted to me, so far as they don’t conflict with my own ; and will, at the same time, try to feel the grav- ity of the situation in which you have placed me. I will resolutely endeavor to refrain from any scintillations of small wit, and try to act with proper decorum on all public occasions. Gentlemen, our family record isa proud one. It was said by the Imperial Augustus that when he assumed the purple he found the City of Rome built of brick and left it a city of marble ; and, with equal truth, can my living progeniter and prospective paymaster to the forces, boast that he found Charlottetown a city of wood, and initiated an era of brick.
I flatter myself that I ought to know the yarious tastes and wants of my fellow- citizens, having conducted and successfully run a tobacco manufactory in your midst for the last twenty-five years—the quality of our plug being unexceptionable and almost rivalling Hickey’s. Gentlemen, the above address has cavsed me more study and labor than I have been accustomed to. I feel weak. Supper waits. So bon jour.
P. S.—The highest price given by my collector, Martin Quinn, for emptly porter and beer bottles.

Emigration and Colonization.
THE CAPABILITIES OF MANITOBA.
2,000 HUSBANDS WAITING FOR WIVES.
Orrawa, April 3.—The Immigration and Colonization Committee met yesterday. There was a good attendance of members.
Mr. Loucks said that he had been in Manitoba for three years. When he went there he leased an old farm, which he was assured was the 52nd year in course of cul- tivation, without once having had the land fertilized. His wheat yielded 25 bushels to the acre; oats, 51 bush.; peas, 20 bush.; and from 10 bushels of potatoes he gathered over 300 bushels at the end of the 1877 season. He broke some new soil up in the fall of ’76, and raised a crop of wheat such ashe had never seen. The farmers of Manitoba were entering Jargely into stock raising. He had heard that
A FRENCH NOBLEMAN
was going out there, and endeavored to se- cure a whole township to start a_ stock farm. Horses were from $400 to $600 per pair in 1876. That was draught horses. Last year they were a little cheaper; but all brought high prices. Winnipeg was their market for grain, and if they had railroad communication with the rest of Canada, he believed they would fill the graineries of the world. Me had just heard frem his son that the grass was growing and the cattle were grazing in the prairies. The population of Manitoba is said to be about 50,000, A great many from Huron and Bruce were settling in Saskatchewan Val- ley. The most available portion of the province that would be within 30 or 40 miles of Winnipeg were now mostly taken up. He believed it would be better for the Government to GO TO NOVA SCOTIA
where there were thousands (?) of idle people; and also to the other provinces, for emigrants. It Would be better than bringing men from the large cities of tho old world. As to land under cultivation in Manitoba he would tell what he saw—when he went up there he fall-ploughed his land, and a native in the next farm just saved his wheat onthe stubble and ploughed it in with a wooden implement, and the native had « much better crop than he had, If he was going to Maniteba as a settler he would go about July and tide himself over the winter.
NOTHING BUT sCcOTCH WATAT were grown there. Vegetables thrived wonderfully, and could be put in very late in the scason. The dampness that was in the soil was a good thing, but if it was drained he would be afraid that the good soil would blow away. They wanted branch railroads to open up the country and ex- port their surplus grain. If the Govern- ment could give the hardy people of Canada who were anxious to get to Manitoba, facilities to reach that province, it would be the best thing that could be done. Next to that, the best thing would be to send out about
2,000 womEN JY? WANTED INDUSTRIOUS HU.BANDS.
There were too msny bachelors up there spending their spare time in shooting ducks, who ought to be doing something else for the prosperity of their country. (Roars of laughter.) In reply to Mr. Bunster, the witness said that it was essentialiy neces- sary that a great many families should be sent to Manitoba, but they wanted people of industrious habits, aud there was plenty. of room for all the surplus population of the large cities. —_—_ be ———

NATIONAL CURRENCY. Wasurxaton, D. C., March 25, 1879. Concress has at last got to work upon one of the appropriation bills, the House having discussed the Army Appropriation Bill several day’s ago. The bill, as pre- sented, is substantially as it passed the House and failed in the Senate last winter, and, except in the matter of disallowing troops at the polls, there seems to be a gen- eral agreement that the bill shall pass sub- stantially as it is, with the exception of that. The Republicans are said to be solid- ly united against that, a careful canvass failing to bring out more than one or two whe are ‘‘offish” from the party pro- gramnie. Itis suspected that a few demo- crats and Greenbackers are not solid in favor of the measure as an attachment to an appropriation bill, although in faver of it as a separate and independent measure. Several attempts have been made to reduce the Army, but all failed by a decided majority, Democrats as well as Republicans opposing it. The fact is the Army is as smallas it is possible to get along with in view of the threatened In-
dian troubles,
The Senate is simply waiting upon the
House, and will do very little until the
Army Bill reaches it. Thenanotherstruggle
will ensue over the treops at the polls’
clause. Overthisand the other political
legislation the contest is now expected to
be longer than at first anticipated.
The Greenbackers and many who sympa-
thize with their financial views in the other
parties are certainly not in a hurry to get away. They propose to do what they can to promote their views. They have had several conferences, in which such Demo- crats as Ewing and Blackburn, and such Republicans as Kelly and Forbs take part, to perfect a programme for legislation, and the result is the adoption of a resolution in favor of the following measures :—
First, the increase of the coinage of silver to the capacity of our mints.
Second, to reissue greenbacks now held for the redemption of fractional currency or hereafter retired for the payment of the ar- rears of pensions and in extinguishment of the bonded debt.
Third, providing for the substitution of legal tender notes for national bank notes. Fourth, to stop all further increase of national debt.
Fifth, to provide for a tax on incomes ef over $2,000.
Mr. De La Maityr has already presented a bill including several of these points. I have no doubt that the majority of Demo- crats, in fact nearly ail from the West and South, are favorable to this programme, and many Republicans appear to lean towards it also, and the assault upon the national banks will be determined and strong.

Rev. Dr. Talmage.
This somewhat celebrated reverend gen- tleman is now on trial before the Brooklyn, N. Y., Presbytery, on a charge of ‘‘false- hood and deceit.” At the opening of the case there was considerable wrangling among the reverend Presbyters, and in some cases the ‘‘angry passions’ were allowed full scope. The language used was net elegant. But Talmage is nothing unless sensational, and in the midst of the wrangle up he jumps and exclaims, ‘‘Away with technicalities! Give us eternal justice ?”’ Tho preliminaries having been arranged, the trial proceeds. The ‘revelations’ brought out so far show that the reverend gentleman is a trifle “tricky” in his deal- ings with his fellow men, but of course the evidence so far is ‘for the prosecution,” and it is hardly fair to ‘“‘judge him before his time.” Whichever way the verdict goes, however, Talmage will be the winner. He will wrap around himself the mantle of martyrdom—the Tabernacle will still be crowded, and the plaudits of his ever in. creasing admirers will be balm to his lacer- ated feelings.—i/7.

gee cee. Drunkard’s Son.
Arthur Healy, eight years of age, a heavy built lad, with a solid meible cast of countenance, was committed this morning, at the request of his mother, to five years in the Reformatory. The father of the boy is a habitual drunkard, and is serving outatermin jailfor assaulting his wife, who, as usual, is a hard-working, careful woman. His son appears to be rapidly following in the footsteps of his wayward and dissolute parent. When sent to school he refuses to go, and constantly remains away from home at night time, unless dir- covered by his mother. Although young his vicious- disposition has been foully de- veloped. One night last month he was found in an eut-house of a neighbor, stiff with cold, and drunk as a lord is usually suppesed to be. On this occasion he was brought before the Recorder, who depicted to him the narrow escape he had from bei frozen to death, and the fate which wo inevitably overtake him if he did not re- form. Arthur tearfully promised to amend his way, and was allowed to return home,
as it appears, withoutany effect.—Montreal | Post April 3rd.
