‘“The Constitutional History of Canada,” by J. G. Bourinot, LL. D., 232 pp. Published in Montreal by Dawson Bros.

‘Banks and Banking in Canada, by J. H. Menzies, F.C. A., 47 p. p. Published by Williamson & Co., Toronto.

Political Science is so important a branch of an advanced education, and the general inter- est, both at home and abroad, in the constitu- tional system of Canada is so pronounced, that in examining the two volumes noted above we dispose to a more thorough consideration of their subject than is required in less vital qvestions of, general application. We want our remarks te be of some use to those who may ,wish to study the leading features of the constitution (through which we are governed) from the starting point of a personal interest, Dr. Bourinot and Mr. Menzies having given the public the good fruits of their researches there anent as specialists. The Parliament- ary Institutions of Canada commence at the close of the 18th century. Under French rale there was no Legislative Assembly. In 1663, the establishment of a Supreme Council in Quebec was decreed. The principles on which the government was carried on were those of French absolutism and centralization. The waking or sleeping of the country de- pended on the King’s apathy or exertion.

1760-1774.—The terms of capitulation handed Canada over to Great Britain in 1760. The tréaty of Paris was signed in 1763, when the principle of respecting the acquired rights of the French-Canadians was conceded ; and though some slight exceptions were made, they were only temporarily enforced, St. Pierre and Miquelon remaining, however, under French control on account of the fishing interests.

For the next three years the government of Canada was entrusted to military chiefs variously located. Elected representatives were required to take the oath of allegiance and supremacy, and declare against transub- stantiation. Butas the French settlers re- fused the test oaths, government was effected by the Governor-General and an Executive Council.

Between 1763 and 1774 the Province was very unsettled, from the difficulty of knowing what laws were paramount, but after a while questions of civic right and property were both regulated and maintained. ‘* The Quebec Act of 1774.” In 1774 Parliament intervened for the first time in Canadian affairs, and then made important constitutional changes.

It was the system of government that by express authority of Parliament, granted at this time to Canada, that is meant by what is known as the Quebec Act of 1774. Lord Chatham designated it ‘‘a most cruel, op- pressive and odious measnre, tearing up jus- tice and every good principle by the roots.” It was exceeding unpopular in England and among the English speaking colonies of the Mother Country.

In the Royal speech at the close of the ses- sion, this act was spoken of as ‘‘ found on the plainest principles of justice and humanity, and would have the best effect in quieting the minds and promoting the happiness of our Canadian subjects.” The new constitution was inaugurated by Mayor General Carleton, (afterwards Lord Dorchester) who nominated a Legislative Council of twenty three mem- bers, of whom eigut were Roman Catholics.

1774-1791.—Canada in 1791 was divided into two Provinces, and a more liberal sys- tem of government set on foot. When the American war of Independence was in pro- gress, the French Canadian population re- mained faithful to their English allegiance, although General Washington (1775) sent a preclamation to the French Canadians, and Baron D’Estaing (1788) commander of the French fleet did likewise,—they would not re- volt against England. By 1790 the popula- tion of Canada was (by estimation) one hun- dred and sixty thousand souls, for whom the Governor (now of Upper and Lower Canada) created five judicial districts, to meet their requirements.

The constitutional Act of 1791 established in each Province a Legislative Council and Assembly with power to make laws.

1792.—In May, 1792, Lower Canada was divided into fifty electoral] districts, returning one member each. They met for the first time on the 17th of Decembar of the same year, at Quebec.

The Government ot Upper Canada was or- ganized at Kingston in July, 1792, and the first meeting (seven Legislative Councillors and sixteen Assembly men) was held at New- ark (the old name of Niagara) September, 1792, by Lieutenant-Governor Simcoe,

Harmony prevailed fora time, but bitter antagonisms produced their conflicts, and in consequence many appeals went home to the parent Government.

Re-union Act 1840—The Imperial Covern- ment now considered it necessary to obtain the consent for Union from the Legislature of Upper Canada, and of the special council of Lower Canada before asking Parliament to re-unite the two provinces. The Bill was put through in 1840 and in force in 184]. The English language only was to be used in the legislative records. Considering this as the initial of a new era of progressive liberty, it is not surprising that concessions followed concessions, and popular statesmanship pre- vailed, and at last secured what is known as responsible government. Authoritative rulings were based on the free consent of the ruled.

Federation of the Provinces,—Notwith- standing the Government became surrounded with political difficulties, and administrations became perplexing and troublesome. From the 2Ist of May, 1862, to the end of June, there were no less than five different ministries in charge of the public business, and legisla- tion was practically at a dead lock.

The Confederation (1867) consisted of only four provinces, but there were openings for the others to crawl in. The Province of Prince Edward Island had been represented in the Quebec Conference of 1864, but owing

main independent till 1873.

Newfoundland remains out yet, but she is getting ready at Jast, and will soon now have her representatines at Ottawa, and her right hand within the federation fingers. The Queen, Senate and Commons are the ONE par- We have not space for recent events, even if they were not matters of general knowledge, but we must quote from Lord Lorne, who gave the following state- ments their admirable clothing of words. Speaking of the working of Canadian institu- tions he said: ‘* A judecature above suspicion; self-governing communities entrusting to a

strong central government all national interests; the toleration of all faiths, with favor to none ; a franchise recognising the rights of labor, by

the exclusion only of the idler; the mainten-

to the opposition that existed it chose to re-|4

ance of a government not privileged to exist for any fixed term, but ever susceptible to the change of public opinion, and ever open, through a responsible ministry, to the seru- tiny of the people;—these are the features of the rising power of 4he Dominion of Canada,

The pamphlet before us on banks and banking in Canada, though not much more than a running commentory on official bank returns of their business, opens & wider field of interest to all engaged in crade production or commerce in Canada.

Farmers, lumbermen, dealers in manufac- tures, produce distributors, employers of labor, and all the well-to-do classes of the Dominion hold Canadian bank notes, and to the extent they do that have a propor- tionate interest in the fidelity of cen and the security of banking. It is therefore a benefit to examine into the features of these necessary adjuncts of prosperity and learn to distinguish the difference by ready perception both their smiles in prosperity and their frowns in adversity.

The Menzies pamphlet says a good many good things. The basis of circulation is explained. The nature and dependence of “ Bests” (so called); the earning power of banks; limited reserves; the prevailing commercial system; security of circulation; Government and bank currency; monetary standards; bank inspec- tion; professional audits, and other points are opinionised, and as Mr. Hague, Mr. Cross, and Mr. Powis have added to the pamphlet their valuable criticisms, the work is very in- structive.

The Dominion Illustrated isa Montreal sam- ple sheet of illustrations, which has been laid on our table to boom the sale of it. Number 1, Vol. 1, comes out on Dominion Day, and if this sample is a fair one, (of which we have no doubt), of the rest, the public will fi nd no better literary and artistic altar, on which to deposit the dime that buys it. Send to G. K, Desbarats & Son, 2 Barren Block, Montreal.

We have also a little 12 pp. tract called ‘* White Slaves.” It seems to be a quiet re- minder that all is not gold that glitters be- fore the eyes of those young ladies, who now- adays are so anxious to go to Boston for work —which they get with a vengeance. Write to Mrs. Lawson, (Sec’y Traveller's Aid Society), 44 Victoria Read, Halifax.

The Fire Fiend Again.

THRILLING SCENES AND INCIDENTS AT A FIRE AT LITTLE BAY, NFLD.

A dispatch from Little Bay to the St. John’s Newfoundland Mercwry, gives the following particulars of a fire at that place ; ‘*“ Yesterday morning a forest fire originated at the bottom of Little Bay, anda gale of southeast wind blowing at the time sent the flames sweeping along Hall’s Bay road where brushwood after wincer’s cutting was in abundance, and proved like so much tinder to the devouring element. When the fire reached the hill overlooking the settlement on back of this bight, a huge cloud of black smoke rose bursting into sheets of flame, the wind carrying burn- ing brands to all parts, and houses caught on fire before the occupants were aware of the terrible fact. The fire demon had full sway and all were forced to flee before his advancing and destructive columus. The scene which followed beggared description, and will long be remembered by the fright- ened survivors. Mothers with babes pressed to their bosoms, and their little half naked children just able to toddle, * clingingcon- vulsively to their skirts, could be seen mak- ing their way along through the blinding smoke and scorching heat; mothers crying piteously for their little ones who had stray- ed from them; children crying for their mothers whom in the hurry they had miss- ed, strong men calling ‘‘ water! water !” bravely battling with the fire king to save their homes from its destructive grasp, made up a picture better imagined than de- scribed. Inthis scene of tumult and dis- may a deed of filial affection and brotherly love took place, which at fonce stamps its author asa hero andaman. A lad named Carpenter, aged 18, wrapped his coat around his mother, and took her on his back, she being almost suffocated and un- able to walk, he then took his little brother under his arm and carried both to a place of safety about a mile away, his hat was burning on his head but he did not know it till some one snatched it off, and his mother had her neck and face burnt. But now comes the saddest tale: A woman named Mrs. Manning, with her two chil- dren, who lived the farthest in the valley, while endeavoring to make her escape was overcome with heat and smoke, and fell on the roadside, where herself and children were both found. This morning the body of John Driscoll was discovered about a hundred yards from his house, it was bad- ly burned, but the face was intact. Poor Driscoll had saved some of his things and gone back to the house for his trunk, and it is supposed that in the smoke he missed the road, and on finding his clothes on fire, made for the brook, as his body was found within afew yards of it. Many others were badly burnt while saving their effects. For four hours the principal settlement at the Bight stood in imminent danger of be- ing swept away, and every man was order- ed to look to his own home, for fiery sparks were flying in all directions. and no one knew the moment one of them would alight on a house and ignite it.”

Apvice to Morurers.— Mrs, Winslow's Soothing Syrup should always be used when children are cutting teeth. It relieves the little sufferer at once; it produces natural uiet sleep by relieving the child from pain; and the little cherub awakes as “‘bright asa button.” It is very pleasant vo taste. It soothes the child, softens the gums, allays all pain, relieves wind, regulates the bowels, and ‘s the best known remedy for diarrhea, whether arising from teething or other causes. Twenty-five cents a vottle. Be sure and ask for Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup, and take no other kind. [April 1 ‘88
