He says that the rental paid to the Drummend Company and the Grand Trunk, in all $210,000a yeur, would, if capitalized, be sufficient to build two lines from Levis to Montreal, and bridge over the St Lawrence at Que- bec.

Other members were McMullen, Christie, Mc- Lure aod Flint (Government) Ganong and Moore (vpposition).
Flict produced a partial scheme to
establish prohibition by provinces, leaving Quebec free tu retain the traffic.
Ganong expressed the opinion that to be most effective a prohibitory law ought to take in the whole country and prohibit notoniythe sale but tne importation and mapufecture.
Senator Vidal was of the same opinion. It was contended that since the Govero- raent had referred the matter to the deci- sion of the electorate it was the duty of the goveroment to act on that opinion.
Flint and McLure did not favor th.s view and the Committee finally separated without agreeing to anything
Mr. Flint bas undertaken to complete his scheme of prohibition by provinces to and submit it ro his collea gues.

[SreciaL To THe Examiner.)
Sr. Jony, April 13.—Tho Internation- al steamship Cumberland was banly damaged yesterday by the Dosaldson steamship Alcides,
The Cumberland was lying at her regu
lar wharf on the east side of the harbor- The Aicides was pulled backward from her berth at Sand Point on the western side by two tugs, aiding the operation with her own steam. She evidently got up too much headway as she never stopped until she had gone clear across the harbor and pinned the Cumberland to her wharf.
The Alcides struck the Cumberland with her stern, just sbaft the paddles on the port side with a tremendous crasi, and for @ moment it Jooked as if the big iron boat would grind the wooden oxe to pulp.
If the tide had beea low this would ue- doubtedly have happened, but the tide was Very high and the Curberland was liited and pushed up on th¢ whart until the big twenty-four inch fenders on the wharf front were brokea off.
The damage to the Cumberland is esti- mated at four thousand dollars.

‘In bis fisherman’s boots and white @ush- ing pea jacket”
Sir,—I take the liberty to say what has , ofien been said: “History repeats itself.” T remember an episode that took place long ago—I was atteading Mr. Lockerby’s school at the time. It was im the year 1824. wheo the whole town and Island wer. looking forward in expectation of the arrival of a Governor to supplant the then Governor Colonel Charles Douglas Smith.
Mr. Smith had become odious to the proprietary partr because he would not consent to he ruled by that faction, eitner in our parliament or out of it. He ceased to call the House of Assembly together, because be fouad that body were led by Captaif Stewart, & proprietor, and the pro- tecior of over thirty claimants to as many townships that had never been granted by the crown. No one, at the time, suspected that these town- ships had never been granted; and it was Cap:aia Stewart's poiicy to strengthen himself by allowing his* friends, as it pleased him, to confirm them in poeres- sion; and the question was whether Captain Stewart or the Governor should rule the We had but one weekly newe- paper at the time,and it was devoted te the interest of the proprietors. The bar, the clergy aud other leading gentlemen were the strong adherents of Mr. Stewart. The Lieut~Goveraor escheated two townships and had commefced proceedings against the others when Captain Stewart took the field, gos up public meetings, aud called on the crown to remove the Lieut Governor from the colony. Capiain Stewart pro- ceeded to England, accomplished nis object, aod wrote to his frends here in-~ forming them of the same,—that Colonel teady had been appointed and that be would leave England with the pew Gov- ernor inthe brigJohn. Is ashbort time everybody talked about the coming of the new Governor. Citizens became impa-— tient at the length of time the brig John seemed to take in crossing the At-
Vavert, Malta, April 11.—An order-in Council has been issued allowing the use of the English language inthe oral and written proceedings in all the courts of Malta in all cases where Englishmen are plaintiffs, def-ndants or witnesses.
Hitherto Italian only wa used, and the grievance under which Englishmen la- boured reached a culminating point when Colonel] Hewaou was teaienced to three days imprisonment for refusing to sign his deposition, which was drawn up in Italian.
A proclamation also announces that after fifteen years from this date the En- glish language should be substituted for the Italian in all the Maltese courts.
| AGITATION IN AUSTRIA
Entire Framework of the Empire ig Threatened.
Vienna, April 11.~In consequence of the continually increasing discontent of the Germansand the inability of the Gow ernment to cope with the terrorism exer- cived by the ~lav priests, the political situation in Austria is sssuming s form which threatens the entire framework ef the Empire. Especialiy does it begin Seriously to effect the position of Austria in regard to the Triple Albance. Certain of the Czech leaders lately have not heei< tated at public meetings to argue repeaty ediy agaiast the alliance, aad to plead for a coalition between Austria and Russia.
) Tue Radical and German parties have been
prevented by the adjournment of the Reicherath from taking any decisive atti~ tude against Slav aspirations, but have arranged public meetings, where the speakers venture io give utterance as near as possible to anti-~dynastic sentiments,
Khalifa’s Vain Plaas.
Camo. April 11.—A former Egyptian _official,a brother-in-law of Yakub (brother ot the Khalifa, aud who wae killed at Omdurman), stated that after the Athara fight the Khalifa suggested leaviag Om~ durman, and marching south-west, and then when the Anglo-Egyptians eettled there to retura with s great army and deal with them as he dealt with Gordon at Kbartoum. The Khalifa was of the opinion that Omdurman was a difficult place to defend. Yakub and the Kha- lifa’s advisers, however, urged him to remain, and to fight till deaths . Many emirs declared that evil would befe!l them if they des-
erted the Mahdi’s tomb. Osmaa Digna, whom he knew well, wie not wounded at Atbara, but fied from Atbara to Gedarif on foot. The Khalifa ‘would certainly bave been taken at Omdurman but for Orman,who. hurried him off. Osman, though old, is still vigorous, and regards the 6ritish with av undying hate. The
Knalita had a plan ie build @ stronghold
at Jebel Gedir, a mountain in Southern Kordofan, so that he might have a piace of retreat, and actually eet arms there. Jebel Gedir is about 150 mles south of Lake Sherkeleb, where the Khalifa is at presert.
Great Britain Will Pay.

Unhappy Arabia.
Apegy, April 11.—Advices received from Sana, the capital of Yermao, Arabia, say
that fighting between the Turke and the revolting Zaidis continues, and that the
former sre committing such atrocities that the inhabitants have sworn to fight tothe last man.

Boone day a brig was signaled answerivg to the name of the Jobn, the two cannon were fired and the vessel came slowly up the harbor. All the town, was on the old wharf, the officers of the Govern- ment, the clergy, the bar,the mercbants; and the boys,—just let loose from school were the only gainers by the report. When the brig droped anchor, the Colonial Secre
tary and gentlemen of the Government were rowed on board, and were dreadfully disappoinied to learn that no Governor was there. The captain said that it was not his fault, that the ar- tillerymen had been deceived, that be had come from St. Jobn’s, Nfld., with passengers on board, and that it was
