Tue DAIL

DECEMBER 8, 1882.

Steady Boys.

Tue official returns show that the revenue of the Dominion for the month of November * was $3,097,072.80 against $2.857,344.72 in the coirespondiog

period of last year, and for the first five |

months of the currevt fiscal year the revenue shows an excess over that of 1881 of vo less than $!,783,490.”

This is a very large iuc:ease.

Be riog in mind that the country is prospering and developing very rapidly aud that, as a result of the Government's Railway Policy, thousands of immi- grants have beev pouring into the North- west, an increase was, of course, to be expected.

But are not the imports increasing iv too large a population ?

Our commerc‘al men should study the sitaation carefully, or they will come to

grief. lt should be remembered that our crops have not been marketed this}

year in such large quantities as in pre- vious years, and if too many goods are imported. payments will have to be made out of the cash in reserve, or an exten- sion of time will have to be obtained; while some individuals will, as a result of their rushness, be ruined.

In this Province, we believe. importers have, on the whole, exercised the caution which prudence suggests ; but a reduced import, througtout Canada, for some mouths at least, would be a good sign.

The Transit of Venus.

At other points of observation, the astrovomers, were not, we are pleased to learn, 30 unforiupate as they were in Charlottetown. The despatches say that the transit was plainly visible at Cork. Ireland, at Durbau aud Capetown, South Atrica, at Hartford, Connecticut, at Har vard College Observatory, at New Haven. at Washington, at New York, aud at Ottawa.

A Boston despatch says that during the transit of Veuus all four contacts were satisfactorily observed, and that over 800 measures of the diameter of Venus were observed. Observations with the spectroscope showed no perceptible absorption by at mosphere of Venus ; while photometrical observations showed that the disk of Venus was darker than the sky surrounding the sun.

It is reported that at the college of the city of New York, Prof. Draper succeed- ed in getting eight plates of 32 ov each plate duriog the transit, under his new idea of astronomical photographing. These plates it is believed will prove of great value to science.

Ao Ov'awa despatch to the Halifax Morning Chronicle says :—‘* The transit of Venus was observed here to-day by Mr. Blake, of the Toronto observatory. The moment of the exterior contact was 8.35 by the chronometer. The interior coutact took place about twenty minutes later, the exact second pot being giveu (by order of the department) at present by the officer in charge of the ob- servaiory. The course of the plauet was from the South-East eud of the suo across to the North-West end. The exact time between the internal contacts was exactly five hours aud twenty minutes, aud be'ween the external con- tacts, exactly six hours, showing that the time taken by the planet in its travels betweec the exterval and iuternal poiuts of ingress und egress was twenty mivutes at either side of the sun. Pri- vate telegrams have been received here during the day regarding the observa- tions in other cities, and from what is leurned it is thought the observations takeu here were the most satisfactory of apy in the Domiuiou, and are the most accurate owing to the excellent state of the weather.”

—Scientific subjects are receiving a good deal of attention in some of the neighboring cities. The Halifax Herald hopes that arrangements will be made for the delivery of a few scien‘ific lec.ures iu that city during this winter ; and in calling attention to the address of Dr. Leeming, to be delivered this even- ing, we may express the hope that it will be followed by others oa kindred subjects.

Caledonian Club.

At the regular annual meeting of this Club held at their reoms, December 7th, the annual reports of the Treasurer, the Financial Secretary, and Recording Secre- tary, were severally presented and adopted. The report of the St. Andrew's Dinner Committee was also submitted and ap proved, as showing that the dinner, (which was conducted on temperance principles) was a grand success

The sum of forty dollars was then unani- mously voted for the Charl ttetown Hoepital aod the sum of fifty dol ars was placed at the disposal of a Committee of the Club, to be appropriated during the approaching winter for the relief of the poor and des‘itute.

After the transaction of business, H. L. Macdonald, E-q , of Cardigan, one of the Directors cf the Club for King’s County, who, accompanied by Qapt. John Stewart, of Belfast, was present, sang, by request of the Chief, some Scotch songs in Galic and English, which, it is needless to add, were enthusiastically received by a'] present at this very interesting meeting of the Cale- donian Club of P. E. Island.

Waar SeExst THE “Cepar Grove” To De- STRUCIIoN ?--Capt Angruve, of the steamer ““ieorgze Shattuck,” states that half an hour before the luckless ““Cedar Grove” etruck on Walker's Keef, his ship was off the same neighborhood.

—_——@————. Iy the Canadian grain crop of the present year, says the Monetary 7'imes, is worth fifty millions of dollais moe than that of lodl, prices, as we pointed out last weck, are lower. farmers who hold back their grain from market, in the hope of obtaining, later on, prices equal tv what they gut last year, are hkely to be disappointed. It is bad policy on their part to hold back; and if at present prices they would realize fifty millions of dollars more than last year, surely they ought to realize and be happy. cnceilintifphchdiam Cos victions— (Correction) — Before Wm. Heard, Alex. Hayden end James Curtis, Esq., J. P.’s, on the 5th inst,, Vessey vs. Hardy, read the defendant was fined $20, or fourteen days for pointing a pistol at, and threatening to shoot the plaiatiff, was an error. It should have been $20, or thirty days’ imprisonment, being the lowest fine for bke offence, according to Dominion statute, 40 Vic., Chap 30, sec 4., which we publish for the information of the public :—'‘ 40 Vic , Chap. 30, Sec. 4, ** Whosvever without law- ful «xcuse points at another per-on, any fire- arm or air gun, whether loaded or unloaded, | shall be liable on conviction thereof to 4 fine of not less than than twenty or more than fifty dollars, or to imprisonment in any jail or place of coufinement for a term not exceeding thirty days.”

Pvuaitistic —It is now evident that there will b: no pugilistic encounter between ‘Tom Allen and John L. Sullivan. Allen hada benefit in New York, on Monday evening, to which Sullivan was invited to spar with the beneficiary. Upon his arrival he was inform- ed that he wou d not be allow:d to don the gloves, so he quietly took a seat until the closing bout, when he jumped upon the stage and informed the aaeas how he had been treated by the management. He also an- nounced that he would give $300 and one- third of the gate receipts to any man who would stand before him for four three mivute rounds atany time ‘The eve ing’s entertain- ment was then cencluded by a bout between Allan and Rooke, which is described as mere ‘* baby play,’ Allen falling on the ground at the end of the third round, from weakness, by the slight exertion.

AxsovuTt three hundred people were arrested in New York city on Sunday la-t for breaking the Sabbath. They comprised milkmen, grocers, butchers, drivers of vehicles, boot-blacks, newspaper uendors, pedulers, etc. Their arrest wes atiected under the new penal code, probibiting labor of all kinds, except in works of necessity. There is hkely to be trouble. The observance of the new law would not only render it impossib'e to issue Sunday news. papers, but it would make the pub ication of all the morning dailies extremely difficult and ordinarily impussible on Monday.

She had beer moat of the time in the plaster trade, and vever lost a sailor sustained any damage.
