Rates of Freight.

On enquiry at the Railway Office, we learn that there is a discrepancy between the statement of our correspondent, “ A Merchant,” and the regular rates, which, on pork and herring, between Georgetown and Chariottetown, are as follows :

Herring, in car loads, 14 cents per bar-

rel. Small lots, 33 cents per barrel, or 11 cents per 100 Ibs. Pork. in car loads and small lots, 33

cents per barrel, or 11 cents per LOO lbs. There is evidently a mistake, either 1n the amount: charged for the lots referred to, or on the part of “‘A Merchant” him- self, It is very much to be regretted that the

rates are so high, and that through ' yr

rates ave not been granted. The

country at large, and iraders = and

the railway in particular, have lost largeiy on this account. But we are glad to learn that the Superintendent has made represen- tations which will in all probability lead te

the needed modification. -—- a> -

Notes from the Capital

SIR JOHN'S REPLY Te BLAKE.

Sir John was enthusiastically applauded en rising to reply to the Leader of the Opposition. His speech contrasted well with that of his opponent. After the usual con- gratulations of the mover andfseconder, he refe: ed to the remarkable way in which Mr. 3lake had drawn into the debate every conceivable subject which could possibly be introduced, and pointed out that this was quite contrary to British Parliamentary practize, which is to discuss subjecta when the papers referring to them are before the House and when the facts are known. In reply to Mr. Blake’s suggestion that the Syndicate bargain should be sub- mitted to the people before being ratified, by Parliament, he said the Leader of the Opposition was too good a Parliamentarian te take that ground seriously, as it would be entirely opposed to the principles of the Constitution. It was correct for meas- ures to bo framed and matured and passed by the representatives of the people who

were sen’ to Parliament for that very pur- pose. If the honorable gentiemen opposite believed in another practice, why did they not act upon it in 1870 when they in troduced very serious and important modh- fications in connection with the Pacific Railway | He was sure that the Ex-Leacder

of the @pposition was too good a Parliament- arian tec oncurin the doctrine of hissuccessor onthissul ject. As to his remarks at Hoehe!- aga that ihe contractors were prepared to go on with the work,he meant what he said. The Syndicate. was ready now to proceed with the building of the road, and able to do so. If the Government had asked the Syndicate te go on with the work, aesuring it that the bargain would be ratified by Parliament the work would have been proceeded with. He was o nfident that the Syndicate would

be able to build the road, to equip it, and run it, and thus relieve the country ef an immense responsibility.

Referring to Mr. Blake's remarks with regard to immigration, he expressed his regret that the hopes hela by the Govern- ment last session had not been realized. The number of immigrants who had ar- rived was less than had been anticipated, but the estimate of his honorable opponent

who had put it at less thas 8,000 was entirely incorrect. It was, however, he

said, no wonder that immigration to Can- ada had been retarded in view of the wea- pons placed in the hands of the eneinies of Cauada by some hon, gentlemen on opposite side of the House. He produced a fly shee: with a portrait of Blake in front and extracts from a speech of that gentie- man in the House lauding Kansas as a field for iramigration in the centre. As for the Civil Service Commission he said it was not a party question but one in which both parties were equally interested and 1c hoped that the matter would be carefully considere:t by both sides of the House, that tlie service might be improved as found necessary. He defended the appointment of the Pacific Railway Commission as right and within the power of Parliament as pro- vided by Statute, and declared that one- sided accusations and insinuations had been east across the floor of the House, and these involved ot only officiale and contractors but also :nembers of the Government, and hence it vas deemed necessary to appoint the Commission. After brief Speeches by Mackenzis, J. H. Pope, Cartwright, Mills, Anglin ad Charlton, the address was de- clared passed on a division clause by clause.

THE CONTRACT,

The Pasific Railway Contract was then Jaid on the table; and necessary preliminary measures taken jor the carrying on of the business of the session.

WACKENZIE TO THE

On Monday forenoon, the Opposition had acaucus, and in the afternoon Mr. fackenzie moved for an order of the

ouse for all papers, etc., concerning the construction of the Pacific Railway, includ- ing the offers made for its construction and working \efore the delegation of Ministers left for England, cte.

Sir John and Dr. Tupper said, in effect.

Girl he Robbed.

JUDGE AND MINISTER IN THEIR ROBES HEAD- ING THE WEDDING PROCESSION,

The Court of General Sessions just con- cluded at Montreal, began with the trial of Richard Liston, a young man of 24, fer the larceny of $2,750 from Stella Hart, a pretty fewess of 17, and ended with their marriage in the court room where he waa, on the th inst., tried and convicted, and where he was sentenced on the 10th. Liston has led a roving life, and several times got into scrapes with the police. Kight months ago he made the acquaintance ef Stella, and eloped with her to New York, where they remained until recently. Stella, before leaving home, stole

2 750 from her father, a well-to-do optician here. On their return from New York Liston refused to marry, ber, and she had him arrest- ed on charge of stealing the money. He was found guilty, and sentence was suspended un- til the 10th to allow for the marriage taking place in the interim. On the morning of the 9th, although an attempt had been made to keep the matter private. the court room was crammed, lawyers, merchants, and members of Parliament being not the least interested and desirous of seeing the marriage. The parties met in the office of the Clerk of the Crown, and then proceeded in processional order to the Court of Queen’s Bench Chamber a guard of police bringing up the front and rear, Judge Dugas and the Rev. Gavin Lang of the St. Andrew's Church of Scotland, in their robes, preceding the couple. The bride looked happo, and was attired ina walking habit. The bridegroom was solemn. He stalked along, his expectant wife on one side and a jailer on the other. ‘lhe ceremony took place in front of the Judges’ benoh under the huge emblazoned arms of Great Britain, bear- ing the inscription : Honi soit qui mal y pease. The servioe was conducted with all due solem- nity. The girl returned to her friends, and the prisoner was driven back to jail. His sentence, it is said, will be light.

Sate . i Ai —— WEWS BY TELEGRAPH, Loxvon, Dec. 13. | Later advices from thascene of the dis- aster at the Welsh Miiery atate that eighty-six men imprisoned in the upper pit are, beyond question, dead. Four men have beer rescued from the lower pit. One of these states that after hearing a dead- ened report of the explosion at half past one a. m., he and his mate noticed a heavy depression in the atmosphere. Shortly afterward tons of rubbish fell about them. They kept in stalls, taking all possible pre- cautions. After some hours of anxious suspense they heard the voices of the res- cuing*party and were able to converse a little with them, They climbed over the failen rubbish to where the cage was and were hauled up uninjured. He bimeelf, however, was partially insensible. He arserts that there are other men still alive in the lower pit.

Lonpon, Deo. 10.

At a special meeting of the Fermey branch of the Land League yesterday, a resolution was proposed summoning the government to prevent Chief Justice May from trying the traversers, At a meeting of the London committee of the Parnell Defence Fund, Justin McCarthy presiding, a resolution was adopted that a petition be forwarded to the Queen, through Mr. Forster, urging that Judge May be not al- lowed to try the traversera. Judge Fitz- gerald. 9 Baron of the Exchequer, Ireland, has received a letter threatening that he will be murdered unless he charges fairly in certain Limerick cases. Baron Dowse, in opening the Connaught Assizes to-day, dwelt upon the unusual prevalence of crime and particularly on the difficulty in getting the people to give information of the offences committed.

The Child’s First Grief.

Oh! call my brother back to me, I cannot play alone ; The summer comes with bird and flower, Oh where’s my brother gone * The butterfly is dancing bright, Across the sunbeam’s track, { care not now to chase its flight - Oh! call my brother back !

He wonld not hear my voice, fair child, He may not come to thee.” The flower that once in springtime bloomed, No more on earth thou'lt see’! A rose’s brief, bright life of joy, Such unto him was given, Go—thou must play alone my bey, Thy brother isin Heaven :

And has he left, his birds and flowers, And must | call in vain %

And thro’ these long, long wintry hours, Will he not come again !!

And on the Pond, and in the Park” Are all our wanderings 0’er;

Oh, while my brether with me played, Would, 1 had loved him more.
