A Gross Mis-statement.
Mr. Davies made a gross mis-statement the other evening when he said that the Contract did not make the construction of the Eastern and Central sections ** inter- dependent on each other. Here is what the Contract says in reference to pis sub- ject. We uote from Section 4. —
The work of construction shall menced at the eastern extremity of the Hast- ern Section, not later than the tirst day of July next, and the work upon the Central Section shall be commenced by the compauy at such pomt towards the eastern end thereot on the position of the end new uncer con struction a shail be found shail be approved by the CGoverument, at a date not later than the first of May next, and the work uoon the Eastern and Central por- be vigorously and ontinaously annual progress

He staged with the an- nouncement that he had given ‘a great deal of time and study to this question,” and yet we find him making the grorsest mis-statements of facts, and then making these mis-statements the basis of declama- tion for two long, mis-spent hours. When Mr. Davies said the Company were free under the Contract to build the central or easy portion of the line and* leave the Eastern oc difficult section unbuilt, he

Not Yet.
We have not yet had the pleasure of seeing any notice of a public meeting to be held for the purpose of enabling Mr. L. H. Davies to correct the most egregious of the mis statements with which, at the meeting in Market Hall, he deceived his supporters and followers? Are we, then, to infer that these gross mis-stements are to remain uncerrected ?
Quire a number of important cases were decided before His Bonor Jadge Alley, in the County Coart yesterday. ‘Ve notice one in particular . that of Dr. McNeill vs. the Union Bank of Prince Edward ‘Island. This was au action brought to recover, as the plaintiff alleged, money improperly charged to him for exchange on two drafts payable «at the Union Bank. No de- tence beiny made, the plaintiff easily obtained judgment for amount claimed, with costs
ainst the Rank. Is it not strange that a charge of this nature
defended? The amogunt involved was small but the principle, nevertheless, would affect much larger transactions and the community at large would do well to take notice of it.

The captain and crew of the schr. Royal Arch has arrived overland from Witless Bay, distant 18 miles from St. John’s, where they were dashed ashore amid break ing seas, in a small boat, almost stove to pieces and partially filled with water. Their escape is one of the must miraculous in the histor? of marine incidents,
Capt Noel, of the Royal Arch, gives the following account of the loss of his vessel and the well nigh miraculous escape of himself and his crew : —
