him towards the tavern of Senor Mendoza. Notwithstanding the prevailing darkness, | Wilkins soon found the house, and led his | companion through the low door into the } smoky public room, which reeked with the fumes of tobacco.

‘Never mind its being a little unlike what you are accustomed to,’ whispered Wilkins in the earof his companion, who | casta look of distrust and disgust around at the place, and especially at the rude, | wild faces of the guests, who were drinking | their pints of wine in the tavern. ‘These | people do not concern us, and the wine | which they drink, and which we shall share, | will taste only the better, as we did not expect to find any so good in such a house as this.

He drew Uiric, notwithstanding his reiues | tance, towards a table; and, calling Padre | Mendoza, ordered wine, and gave the host a | wink, which sufficiently apprised him that) the youth who accompanied him was the victim to be delivered into the hands of | Captain de Silva. The host answered this | glance by another wink, equally unnoticed

by Ulric ; and he pointed to a corner of the |

tain, who responded to the sign by a fero~- cious and malignant glance towards the uns | conscious object of their villany.

The host went out to seek the wine which |

he sat down at the table where Ulric and Wilkins had taken their seats, and Captaia |

‘So this is quite right,’ said he, smiling ;

Although Ulric cast a disapproving Jook | on him, the seaman seated himself at the table, and tapped Ulric on the shoulder with | rude familiarity. !

‘Don’t look angry, my young friend,’ he continued, laughing; ‘ hold out your glass, and let us pledge for friendship sake. We may remain longer together than you think for.’

‘No, 1 will not!” replied Ulrick. ‘1 do} not like touching glasses with any one, and | least of all with people whom I[ do not know.’

The captain laughed sneeringly, and said, ‘ You willsoon speak in another tone, my friend, when you have learned to know me! Come, no more refusals—your glass here, in all good will !’

Ulric glanced towards Wilkins, and leay- ing his glass untouched, rose from his seat.

THE MANUFACTURERS EXHIBITION. From the Maritime Trade Review, St. John, N. B.

The prospects of the Maritime Provinces Manufacturers’ Exhibition, to be held in this City next Fall,are good. Such an Ex- hibition is required by the manufacturers and people at large, and there are ample materials for making the display important enough to attract attention from abroad. St. John people of all classes are entering heartily into the project; our manufactur. ere are unanimous in working for its success, and nothing is required but the hearty coa operation of the Manufacturers of the other cities and town of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island. Our manufaciurs are varied and important, and steadily increasing. It is difficult to ascer- tein, except by having them well repre-

sented at an Exhibition of the kind that}

has been projected, their real value and exs tent. The people generally do not realize what we have among us the germs of almost all the brancher of manufacturing necess sary to render us partically independent,and @ fitting collection of the products of home industry willdo more than volumes of sta~ tistics, and hundreds of detached descrip. | tions to open their eyes. At these Exhis bitions manufacturers have an opportunity of making each other's acquaintance, and of arranging for getting wares from each other that they might otherwise import. They are stimulated by each others skill, and en- couraged by each others success, and the general attention that their wares attract leads to the more general use of home pro- ductions. There are many prejudices against articles of home manufacture—pree judices that can only be overcome by per- uading people to give them a fair trial. The use of home productions must be made fashionable before a great part of the com-~ munity can be made to buy them at the same price they pay for imported goods of the same kind and quality, and grand Ex. hibitions have an important influence in popularizing meritorious articles. We hope that there is no manufacturerr in these Provinces so blind to his best interests, as to be indifferent to this Exhibition, or to grudge the slight expense of sending to it samples of his skill. If his wares are good and he can produce them ata price that will compare favorably with the imported articles that now monopolize the greater part of his legitimate market, he is sure of gaining new customers, and a wider repu- tation. We believe manufacturers are alive to the great benefits to be gained by being properly represented at the Exhi-

CENSUS STATISTICS.

The third volume of the Census, which has now been issued, contains thirty ~six additiona! tables, relating chiefly to the agricultural conditions and industrial en- terprise of Canada. The total number of acres owned in the Dominion, that is to | say, in the four Provinces of which it was | composed at that time the census was | taken, is stated to be 49,368,029, of which | 19,605,019 are in Ontario, 17,701 589 in Quebec, 5,453,962, in New Brunswick, and 6,607,159 in Nova Scotia. Of hous:s there where 539,512, besides 63,954 warehouses, factories and shops. The number of ships and tonnage owned by residents in Canada

considerably more than half the tonnage | belonging to this Province. Lut ia sea«

the other Provinces sucha long way be- hind as to give her the largest aggregate i tonnage, though not the largest number of | craft of all kinds. The figures here given | it may be remarked, represent the actual | tonnage owned by residents in Canada, | whether the ships were built abroad or

were launched from Canadian ship-yards.

From table 21, it appears that of the total

population of the Dominion 367,862 are oc.

cupiers of land, 326,160 as owners and 39,. | 583 as tenants. The farm stock of the Do- minion is set down at 1,251,209 milch cows 1,233,446 other horned cattle, 3,155,509 sheep, 1,366,083 swine, and 144,791 hives of bees. Ontario leads in all these items, Quebec approaching her closely only in milch cows and sheep. Table 23 gives the totals of field products, The largest items are oats, 42 489,453 bushels ; turnips 24,- 339,476 bushels; spring wheat, 10,355,912 bushels , winter wheat, 6,367,961, the lat- ter being almost exclusively the produce of Ontario. The hay crop amounted to 3,. $18,641 tons, of which 1 804,476 tons were yielded by Ontario and 1,225,640 tons by Quebec. Butter enters tor a large amount in the general products of the Dominion, the total for the four provinces being up- wards of seventy-four million pounds. The production of cheese is siightly under five million pounds. Quebec makes 3,339,766 yards of home made cloth, and },559,410 | yards of home miade linen. She 1s also| much the largest producer of maple sugar

bition, and are assured that the display will be such, that the people of these Provinces will be proud of it, and their manufacturing interests promoted by it.
