JULY 8, 1879.

The Letellier Matter.

Tue following special cablegram has been received by the Toronto ‘‘ Globe,” dated London, July 4th :—‘‘ After Sir Leonard Tilley’s interview with the authorities at the Colonial office, they resolved to under- take the decision ef the Letellier affair without awaiting the arrival of Sir John Macdonald. A despatch to the Marquis of Lorne announcing the decision was sent yesterday. I believe the decision is in the precise terms of my last cable message.” The last cable message reads :—‘‘ The feeling in the Colonial Office is against sanctioning the dismissal of Lieutenant- Governor Letellier, but impressed with the idea that it is not proper for the Govern- ment here in England te deal with the matter. It is assumed as probable that hoth political parties in Cauada might take umbrage at such interference with Can- adian internal affairs. Further, it is held that the Canadian Gevernment has con- stitutional authority to deal with the matter. It is understood that interference with the question will be declined.” The St. John Sun says : ‘‘ Well, the agony is over! The ‘precise terms,’ of course, are a complete endorsement of Sir John A. McDonald’s position. They admit that the

British agricultural districts was not dis- tant.” Liberals such as Messrs. Brassey, MacDuff and Bluff blamed the British land system and game laws for the de- pression. in a speech by Mr. Bright, who warned land owners that the competition of the United States would go on increasing, and the enly way of meeting it was to get rid of stupid and mischievous legisla- tion, regulation ef tenure and transfer of land. Messrs. Maclver and Bentinck ad- vocated protective measures. The Marquis of Hartington and the Goverament, as Tre- presented by Viscount Sanden (Conserva- tive) and Sir Stafford Northcote, declared that no cause had been shown for such measures, which certainly would never be sanctioned. The Marquis of Hartington attributed the degression primarily to the bad season. The Commons have adopted resolutions appointing a commission to 1n- vestigate the causes of the agricultural de- pression. It was asserted by a number of the members that American competition was the cause.

Execution of the Czar'’s Would-be Assassin.

The

Alexander Solovieff, the would-be assas- sin of the Czar, was carried on the 9th of June from Fort Petropavlovsky, on the ‘‘ cart of disgrace,” in black convict’s dress ana black cape, without shade, on the head ; on his chest was hung a board with the

words, ‘‘ State Criminal.” The cart was surrounded by mounted guards and Cos- sacks. On the Smolenskoe field, at some distance from the scaffold, there was a crowd of people. On the scaffold were fixed a gallows, a post of disgrace, a ladder —everything painted black. At the foot of the sceffold wasa plain black coffin, covered with coarse matting. There were present the Minister of Justice, the State Attorney, the Chief of Police, the com- mander of the fort and others. When the

Our sole object is to draw public atten:

matter.

Twe criminals were sent up the Supreme Court fer trial this term, by the City Magistrate. One on acharge of assault the other on a charge of larceny. In both cases the magistrate released the prisoners on bail. It sgems that when{fcalled on the

Indictment, neither of them put in an ap- pearance. The Attorney General had the

bail duly called by and upen his motion the bail bond was, in legal phraseology, estreated. Here,fusually, the matter stops. The bail are never called upon to pay the amount of their recogaiz- ances ; and the criminal escapes unpunished. That this is a burlesque upon justice we need hardly inform our readers. Whose fault is it? The magistrate,we know, is bound in such cases to take bail when tendered to him. We.will presume he knows his duty and has accepted good and sufficient bail, and that these bail are held and firmly bound in proper recognizances. We have had some little experience of his particulariness in the matter of bail. We will do more than resume—we will risk the assertion that the bail are good and sufficient. We are not aware how the present At- torney General intends to act, nor do we desire to prejudge him. But this we assert : that within the past eight years, though we have often heard bail solemnly called, we have never known them required to make good their recognizance. We have: seen junior barristers laugh at this calling asa good joke. But we have not seen any at- tempt made to hold the bail responsible. We write now that we may be in time, | and that the present Crown officer may} know that public attentien is being called to this matter. The right te be released on bail we have no desire to see in anyway restricted. It is a needful provision of the law, and neces- sary as a check to the too arbitrary enforce-

If the decision of the Imperial autherities is as represented in the Globe, the reference to England must be regarded asa wise step, since the weight of the opinion of the Brit- ish Law Lords is added to the sound con- stitutional doctrine laid down by the first constitutional lawyers of Canada.’

‘he Mackerel Fishery.

The recent stagnation of mackerel in the market, says the Boston Journal ef Com- merce, in the face of a short catch and poor prospect of future additions te the low stock on hand, is unexampled, we think, in the history of the commerce of Boston, and

almost discreditable to the large and wealthy houses engaged in the business. The souther:: fishery, with those vessels which packec their tish, has been, except in a few exceptional instances, a proneunced

failure. The weirs of Nova Scotia which should have sent inte our markets from 5,000 = to 10,000

barrels of large 3's, have not caught as many hundreds ; Island to date has not taken a hundred barrels. Boston has possessed any stock to speak of, and yet fish which last year brought from $4.50 to $5.50 have been gingerly handled at $2.50 to $3.00, at which they will not pay the cost of packing and freight. there ever was a chance to speculate safely in mackerel, it is the one which the Boston tish dealers have allowed to pass unim- proved; and we think that this utter supineness will greatly lessen the catch this season. It is certain that many large firms which formerly utterly neglected cod- fishing have put their men into the business as safer and less fluctuating ; and such is the general feeling throughout Nova Scotia and the Bay of St. Lawrence.

Agricultural Depression in England.

It is <lifficult to know what good the proposed Royal Commission in England to enquire inte the state of agriculture can do beyond vathering statistics and letting the country know the real condition of affairs. If matters are as bad as portrayed, it is about time they were inquired into and something done towards applying a remedy. A mere commission can do no good unless it is followed by energetic beneficial measures; and what direction they can take, without departing in some degree from the strict principles of free trade, it is rather hard to foretell. That something must be done, and done quickly, te counteract the present state of things, is alarmingly evident. Farmers are losing their capital, and in many cases have had to abandon land as _ no longer yielding a living which has provided for their ances- tors for generations back. Reductions cf rent have oaly met a portion of the trouble

for landlords are experiencing difficulty, not only in retaining their tenants at a re- duced rental, but in reletting at any price when the property once becomes vacant. Formerly a bankrupt farmer was a rarity,

in ared dress, helped the convict to get out. Solovieff firmly ascended the scaffold and took his place. Then the executioner took off the cape from the head of Solovieff, and the Attorney General read the sentence of the Supreme Ceurt. Solovieff preserved calmness. Then a priest in mourning dress, cross in hand, appreached the pris- oner, but he shook his head and said: ‘‘ No, I don’t want that.” Then the drums were ordered te beat. The execu- tioner put on Solovieff a long white robe, covered his head with a hood and tied his arms with a rope. Then Solovieff mounted the ladder, the fatal noose was adjusted on the neck, the ladder was suddenly re- moved, and—all was over. About half an hour later the body was taken down, ex- amined by a physician, put in the coffin, and carried away in the same cart for burial.

Geirs to Ninety Millions.

During the past two or three days there have been in cenference in this city heirs and attorneys representing about 140 linel descendants of Robert Edwards, who ewn-

now valued at $90,000,000. The ostensible and proofs gathered and in their possession, and forecast proceedings and operations for the future. John N. Edwards, Esq., of Seaward, Neb.. represented fifty of these

city, and Captain Henry Edwards, of Kam- oka, Canada, the remaining ninety. Upon a full comparison of facts and views, it is learned that a satisfactery conclusion was reached; that documentary and other proofs were at hand sufficient to warrant legal proceedings whenever they choose. One of the heirs, a washerwoman, named Sher- bondy, is a resident of the suburbs of Akron. Cleveland Herald.

Reduction of the Indian Army. The Government has decided to largely re- duce the European army now in India. No further difficulty is apprehended either in Afghanistan or Burmah, and a considerable reduction of the European forces now em- ployed in India, it is believed, can be safely and advantageously made. The details res- pecting the regiments which are to be brought home have not yet been male public, but it is thought that within the next few months the British garrison in India will be materially reduced, and the military necessities of the Empire supplied by native Sepoy regiments to avery great extent. If the warin South Africa, contrary tothe present opinion, con- tinues, some of the regiments withdrawn may be sent to the Cape.

Curap Insurance.~A subscriber at Nap- anee in remitting says :—‘‘ I insured my house in the Canada Agricultural Insurance Co. They burst, and I lost two years on one and three months on another policy. I then in- sured in the Ottawa Agricultural, and I un- derstand now they have also reinsured their policies with the Watertown Agricultural In- surance Co, Can you inform me in your next issue if am insured or not? I really don’t know, and there are others in this section who are equally ignorant. Please inform us, and oblige yours.” —Monetary Times. |

The rumours afloat that Archbishop Pur- cell’s mind has become unsett!ed by his finan- cial troubles are pronounced untrue by the Church authorities at Cincinnati. At present he is secluded at a religious institution near Albany. It is stated in ecclesiastical circles that he has not been as successful in collecting

New Gurnea..—Australian papers give an account of another expedition, described as well-equipped, which has left Sydney for New Guinea. It is stated that the party comprises Baron Maclay, the famous Russian scientist and explorer, Chevalier Bruno, whe was the first tomake anattempt from Australia to open trade with the terru incognita, and Capt. Leeman, who has had considerable experience on the coast of New Guinea and elsewhere northward, The fast-sailing three masted American schooner ‘‘Saddie F. Caller” is the vessel chartered, and her owner, Captain Webber, enters heartily into the project, and is, in fact, a partner in the concern; £2,500 has been spent in the full equipment, and the vessel is provisioned for a 12 months’ cruise, at the termination of which she will return to Port Jackson. The object of the expedition is scientific and commercial. Astrolabe Bay will first be visited, and thence the ‘coast all round will be examined; and, if. pos sible, arrangements made for opening up a trade with the natives, and it is expected that Baron Maclay’s knowledge and experience will be of great avail.

The liver is the imperial organ of the whole human system, as it controls the life health and happiness of man. When it is disturbed in its proper action, all kinds of ailments are the natural result. The di- gestion of food, the movements of the heart and blood, the action of the brain and ner- vous system, are all immediately connected with the workings of the liver.
