Canadian Cattle and “orses im - England.

The English correspondent of the Torouto Globe analyses a return in regard’ to the trans-Atlantic cattle and horse trade with England, He writes :—

In 1875, 62 cattle were impefted into the United Kingdom from Canada, and 362 cattle and ore slieep from the ‘United | States ; 1874, 273 cattle from Canada, and one head-of cattle and one sheep ‘rom the

ne geet el nepnigpe ees

United States ; in 1875, 1,212 cattle from the Dominion, and 299 from the States ; inf

1876, 2,655 cattle and 1,865 sheep from Canada, and 392 cattle trom the States; and in 1877, 7,649 cattle and 10,275 sheep from Canada, and 11,533. cattle and 13,120 sheep from the United States. These figures speak for themselves. Canadian cattle recently landed have arrived in Liver- pool in extraordinary good condition and have realized top prices. With regard to the extensive purchases of horses made, or about to be made by the Government, I am in a position to state that they have only bought some three thousand of the twenty one thousand they require. Large numbers of very serviceable animals were offered to the Government in various parts of Great Britain, and the buyers will not have to leave the United Kingdom to obtain the class of beasts they require at reasonable prices. These animals are ‘second-class horses, but first rate carriage horses are as dear as ever, and will always fetch high prices. Hence 1 would advise Canadian breeders te bear these facts in mind when breeding this spring. —~> + a oe A queen bee lays from 10,000 to 39,000 eggs a yer.

DISTURBANCES IN MONTREAL ON GOOD FRI- DAY —- SEVERAL PERSONS . INJURED — NEARLY A A CATHOLIC CHURCH, ,

PANIC IN

Montruat, April 19, 6 p. m.-- Several party rows took place here to-day between the Orange Young Britons and ‘the Trish Catholics. The most serious was about 11 o'clock, %. m., opposite Notre Dame Cathc-

tlic Church, in the Place d’Armes. The

Britons were matching to Church when a young man, known to be'n Catholic, crossed through the procession, whereupon he-was pursued by the Orange party into the church, which is the largest in the city, and contained some 7,000 or 8,000 worshippers. The rush into the sacred: edifice leeghact t - rific excitement. and :several ladies fainted. Through the exertions of the officers of the church, a panic’ was averted... After a time the doors were shut, and fighting took place on the street. <A young man named Charles O’Hara, a Catholic, was badly beaten. A volunteer named Schoales, it is said, fell out of the ranks of his regi- ment, which was passing at the time, and used the butt-end of his gun with terrible effect on O’Hara’s head, During the affray three pistol shots were fired; but go far no one is reported wounded. Between three and four o’clock the. fight was renewed on Notre Dame street, but, being close to the Police Station, it was soon suppressed.

4 LATEST. Monrreat, April 19, 11 p.. m.—Further rioting took place in Victoria Square at 10.30 p.m. Stones were thrown and pistol shots fired. A volunteer belonging to the Artie lery, named Cole, was severely injured bya stone striking him on the head. Several plate glass windows. were broken by the stone throwing. _ A squad of police coming on the scene Mapeet the rioters. A large. patrol of police is now out and the streets ave been cleared. —St. John Telegraph.

Hon. Mr. Mitchell on the Quebec Outrage.

‘Tan/editorial correspondent of the Hali- fax Herald reports that ;—

After recess on Monday night the Honse wag packed with people; rows and rows of men and women lining all the sides of the galleries. It was, after all, the greatest sight seen in them The events of fhe past few days had made a great talk, and people were on tiptoe of expectation for the vote which had been ar- range to take place at ten o’clock. .. But this arrangement, made between the leaders, was expressly declared, in private, not to include Mr. Mitchell, who was away, and who always acts-With considerable independence of party. Accordingly, in the afternoon he gave notice. that he would speak, And ‘ds the fact ap- peared in the papers, the expectation of the public was heightened by the possibility of the re-openiug of the debate. Accordingly, a little after ten o'clock Mr. Mitchell began to speak. Hon. Mr. Smith had made some points out of the case of Governor Gordon in New Bruns- wick, and to that case Mr. Mitchell deroted himself closely ; but L cannot follew his Leng speech.with any degree. of intelligence in. a short. summary. ‘Two points he did make with great aptness. Ist. That the;case of Lieutenant Governor Letellicr was not alone interesting to the Province of Quebec, to which Provitice the Government ‘wished’ to relegate the matter; but it was important and interesting also to all the Provinces and to the Dominion as well; for a »vrecedent once estab- lished ree like a chain that is put round the neck of a growing animal and strangle it in time. . 2nd. That if Sy oemeiniae ier had the right to dismiss his 1ainisters for extrava- gance, Lord Dufferin had as much right to dis- miss the Ottawa Goverrment. Mr. Mitchell then, with immense effeel’on the audience, and amid the applause of the House, took up the extravagances and jobs of the present Govern- ment, and showed how much more call they gave for the exercise of t1¢ prerogative of dis- missal, than the acts of the DeSoucherville Government in Quebec. And yet, said Mr. Mitchell, we would all condemn Lord Dufferin if he dismissed his ministers for such reasons, while they still hold a Parliamen majority, Mr. Mitchell's address was lstened with great courtesy and attention. It was an able speech in every way. It was free from the petulance which sometimes destroys ‘the ef- tect of some good points made in debate. It was delivered with carnestness, and if with too mach rapidity, that was because Mr, Mitchell’s utéterance is naturally very rapid. After Mr, Mitchell’s oration was completed, about half-past eleven, the House divided, and the partizan vote of 112 to 70 was taken.

Mr. Blake, as telegraphed, did not He would not'dave face the self-seorn which would punish him for voting in support» of measures taken by a partizan Governor, meas- ures of which Mr. Blake disapproves. But his party feeling conquered his desire to condema the tool of the Government, Governor Letel- lier. Nevertheless his absence on the occasion is significant; and the weight of the yote will be almost destroyud by the absence from it of the namecf Mr. Blake. The inevitable sev- enteen Nova Scotians voted, of course; the Flynns, MclIsaacs, Bordens and Rays, etc., not having either Mr. Blake’s sensitiveness of soul, nor Mr. Blake’s courage to refrain from voting. They are safe, too, from self

their sensitiyeness will not supply it.
