City Assessment.

JUDGMENT OF THE SUPREME COURT.

We see by an entry in Court this morn- ing that the appeal suit of Mr. E. Smith, against the judgment of the Stipendiary Magistrate, has been withdrawn, and the judgment of the Magistrate confirmed, with costs. This will, we presume, settle the question as to the legality of the City Bye- laws, and put an end to any misunder- standing as to the binding force of the present assessment Bye-law.

A CORRESPONDENT Keewatin writes :—

“The work of construction on section 73 was started by H. J. Archibald on the 3rd ult., and now Fraser, Manning & Co. have 250 men employed on the western end of it. Soon there will be a call for 2,000 and more men. Thirty-five miles have been sub-let. The difficulties in the way of the contractors, on account of the almost impassible state of the Dawson Road, can only be understood by men who have experienced some of them. Headyuarters for the contractors and engi- neers is a few steps from the ‘‘ Falls,” where the water of the Lake of the Woods pours into the Winnipeg River. Good buildings have been erccted, and everything is being done ina way that reflects the greatest credit on ali concerned. Already the men are sub- scribing for a building to be used for Divine Service, reading-room and Masonic Hall. The building is to be 35 by 25 feet, with 16 feet walls, and is to be finished in six weeks.”

The Quebec Budget.

Though the Joly Ministry has been able to redeem its promise to keep down the ex- penses of administration to the figure of

1874, it has not been able by this economy te make both ends meet. These expenses in 1874 were $1,958,242, and last year $1,952,167—a difference of only $6,075 in favor of the former year. This is near enough te be regarded as a literal fulfil- ment of this half of the promise made by the Joly Government when it en- tered on office. The other half of the prom- ise—that the equilibrium in the finances would be restored by the economy which it was intended to practice — has not been fulfilled. On the contrary, there is a deficit of $697,278.74 on the whole transac- tions of the year ; the total expenses being $2,828,444.26, and the receipts $2,784,- 835.62, besides $500,000 received from the Dominion Government ‘‘on account of a claim,” according to the Treasurer. These are the figures of the Treasurer, M. Lange- lier. Afull report of the speech of Mr. Church has not arrived, but he contended that the deficit was not less than $700,000 ; certain items being, in his opinion, im- properly classed as ordinary revenue. How- ever this may be, the deficit, as given by the Treasurer, is exceptionally large rela- tive to the revenue.

—_—- -—-- Queen’s County Exhibition.

A meeting of the Board of Commissioners for managing the Queen’s County Exhibi- tions, was held at the Law Courts Building on Tuesday, the 29th inst.

Present—Hon. Judge Hensley, Chairman; Hon. Senator Haythorne, Hon. John Balderston, Hon. L. McMillan, Dr. Jenk- ins, W. McKay, C. Gardiner, 8. Hyde, W. Mutch, —— Bain, C. Longworth, Richard Bagnall, Edward Grant, Pendergrast, W. Haslam, Geo. Tweedy, John McDoug- all, D. Nicholson, Esquires.

Senator Haythorne, Chairman of the Committee appointed to prepare a prize list, in presenting the report of the com- mittee, remarked that it was almost im- possible, with the small sum appropriated by the Legislature, to do justice to the various departments expected to be represented at the Exhibition. The Coramittee, however, had agreed upon a prize list, dealing as liberally with competi tors in the different departments as _ the very limited and inadequate means placed at their disposal would permit. His Honor then submitted the prize list, which was real, and, after some alterations, adopted by the Board. The Secretary submitted seven tenders, received for printing the prize list. That of Bremner Bros., being the lowest, was accepted.

A vote of thanks was unanimously ten- dered to Hon. Senator Haythorne for his valuable services in preparing the prize list, which he suitably ack aowledged.

The Board then adjourned until Friday, the 15th day of August next, then to meet at the same place, at 10 o’clock, a. m., for the purpose of appeinting Judges and transacting other business of importance in connection with the Exhibition.

Sir A. T. Galt’s Mission to England. The Montreal (Gazette contains the follow- ing in reference to Sir A. T. Galt’s visit to England: ‘Sir Alex. Galt goes home to renew the negotiations, in which he was en- gaged last winter, for better trade relations between Canada and certain European countries and the West Indies. The 1m- pertance of such a mission cannet be over- estimated, and the entire fitness of the envoy to accomplish success, if success 18 possible, will not any where be doubted. ’

The Reign of Terror in Russia.

Nihilism, as it called, is going on with its work in Russia very much as if there existed no ‘‘extraordinary measures” for putting it down, All those who object to the existing despotic form of government have the name of Nihilists attached to them, and they are run down all over the empire like so many mad dogs. Yet it appears that they are not to be frightened out of exist- ence ; but, on the contrary, they are carry- ing out their threat of shedding blood for blood, At present their chief object is to get money, and the way in which they set about it shows what they are. Certain in- dividuals are assessed at so much, and if they don’t pay their houses are set on fire. In this way some merchants at Moscow have had to pay £3000 te £8000. The small tewn of Uziany, where there are a number of wealthy Jews, was assessed at £2000. The money was not paid, and so, on the 21st ult., a tire broke out by which as many as 300 houses were consumed and fourteen people lost their lives. All this is worthy ef the Goths and Vandals who de- stroyed Rome ; but what are we to say of a government which sets examples of such barbarities ?

On the Queen’s Birthday, two Knights were created two C. M. G’s, The Knights are Sir Wm, Fox and Sir Edward Stafford.

A great fire had occurred and was the all- absorbing topic of conversation. It broke out in the Opera House, on Manning street, Wel. lington, on Sunday, June 15th, and the loss of property is estimated at £100,000 sterling, or $500,000. The insuranses seem to be about £25,000, or one-fourth of the amount of prop- erty destroyed. The Standard, North British, London and Lancashire, Royal, Imperial, and Guardian Insurance Companies—familiar names—join the local offices in bearing the burden of the disaster.

The Bank of New Zealand passed through the fire, but it hada fire-proof chamber, in which its bullion, notes, etc., were placed and from which they were taken out perfectly safe.

New Zealand has had a census for 1878, {showing that the European population of the colony, on March 3rd. was 226,574 males and 183,405 females. This shows that the colony is a desirable place for women.

The Chinese population was 4,433.

- oo Commercial Items.

(From the Monetary Times.)

The shipments of strawberries from Oak- ville, the past season, aggregated 200 tons. The number of quarts was 216,000, which, at a cent a quart, means $2,160 for the pickers.

‘*No man,” saye the moralist of the Boston Herald, *‘ has a right to live beyond the means of his creditors.”

The Nova Scotia coal trade is reported to be continually improving. The Acadia Com- pany are shipping to order all the coal they can raise. The Halifax Company have shipped more the past week than they have done in any previous week for years. The Intercolonial is also doing a good business.

The West India trade with Halifax is re- ported to be increasing. Both the imports and exports at that city are reported by the Herald to be considerably in excess of the week pre- vious. Of the large amount coming into that port only a smal! quantity of goods are lying in warehonse.

Some idea of the extent of the potato trade in Nova Scotia can be had by noticing the fact that 60,000 bushels of potatoes have been shipped by one man from Folly, Colchester Co., during nine weeks ending 26th June.

MISCELLANEOUS.

Baron Von Gerolt, formerly Persian Minister at Washington, died at Bonn on the 28th.

Duke William, the only brother of the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, died at Heidelburg on Monday.

The following advertisement appears in a Dublin paper: ‘‘ Required, two honest men, of the Parnell and Biggar type, to represent the city of Cork in the House of

Commons. Address Secretary, Advanced ee League, Paradise place, ork.”

The Imperial Government have extended jtheir telegraph line from Sambro, off Hali- fax, to Camperdown, and it is understood that the submarine cable is to connect Fort Clarence, Ives’ Point, with the Queen’s lumber yard.

Great Britain has on the stocks two steel clad ships of war, which are to be the cost- liest ever built, the estimate for building each, without armament, being $5,000,000. Each vessel will mount four guns, measure 9,100 tons and run 16 miles an hour. They are to be plated with sixteen inches of steel.

Hon. Mr. Wilmot will leave Ottawa about the 5th of August for St. John, N. B., for the purpose of assisting in the reception of the Governor General and the Princess Louise.

Ata meeting of the Nova Scotia Local Government on Saturday, satisfactory ar- rangements were made fur completing the Western Counties Railroad froin Digby to Yarmouth, and work has reeommenced all along the line. The road has been lying in an unfinished state for the last three years. The projected road between An- napolis and Digby, some twenty miles of the most difficult part to build, will probab- ly be abandoned and connection made by steamboat. Mr. Plunkett promises to have the road completed to Yarmouth about the middle of September.

Tue talented company from the Halifax Academy of Music, under the management of Mr. Wm. &. Harkins, will visit this city next week, and will commence a series of theatrical performances inthe Market Hall on Tuesday. They have secured a new set of scenery and there will beachange of programme each night.

ur Meruopist Sabbath School picvic took place at Shaw’s Wharf, West River, to-day. The children, carrying banners, marshalled by their teachers, and headed by the band of the 82nd battallion, marched through the principal streets of the city and tothe Ferry Wharf, where they embarkedefor the grounds. They, fortunately, had a fine day and will, no doubt, spend it pleasantly.

Two Mic-Macs appeared before the Stipendi- ary Magistrate this morning, —one, named Simon Nicholas, for being drunk and inecap- able, and another, Thomas Nicholas, for using insulting language towards Officer Cameron. When Simon was asked where he got the liquor, he replied, ‘‘Sent one man for it,” and refused to give further information. He was sent up for fourteen days, and Thomas was fined and paid one dollar.

A SERIOUS ACCIDENT occurred to Thomas Allan and Isaac Godkin, at Rose Bank, yes- terday. They were down into Mr. Stewart's brick kiln, loading the trucks with brick, when the walls of the kiln caved in and buried themselves and the horses in the debris. When the fallen bricks were removed, it was found that Mr. Godkin was seriously and Mr. Allan almost fatally injured. They were con- veyed to their homes in this city. Mr, God- kin is able to move about to-day, but Mr. Allan is very low.

CHELMSFORD is spirited if not always prud- ent. Late London despatches state that he con- templates resigning immediately. He has, as he thinks, redeemed by his recent success the reputation which the misfortunes of Isandula lost him, proving that a single blunder is not always a preot of incompetency, and he wishes to resent, as far as the actof resigna- tion will do so, the reflection upon his charac- ter as an officer involved in this deposition.

Apvices from St. John’s; Nfid., report the wreck of the steamship **Burgus,”’ 1152 tons, of Hull, G. B., Capt. Martin, from Montreal, July 9th, for London, G. B., with a cargo of 5,000 quarters fo wheat, 2,800 quarters peas, and 410 live sheep. On the 14th inst. she struck at Mariner’s Cove, Gull Island, Placen- tia Bay, Nfld., and became a total wreck. The cargo was immediately plundered by the half- civilized inhabitants ; even to the ship’s stores, and saloon furnishings were stolen. The two passengers and crew of 23 men were at St. Mary’s.

I have read it again, and regret tosay that I can see nothing incorrect in it. Had he stated what was not stated correct, perhaps I could refresh his memory a little. I am, yours truly, N. P.

English Trade.

STRAMBERG,

The total value of exports frem Great Britain and Ireland to all countries for the six months ending June 30, 1879, was £88,826,493 against £94,660,400 in the same period of 1878. The imports for the same period of 1879 were valued at £178,- 741,821 against £189,674,854 in 1878. It is well to note that the true test of whether there is a decline or increase in the export or impert is to take quan- tities not values, for in any year, owing to a decline in prices, the es- timated value may be less while the quantity is greater. We notice that the exports to the United States show in cer- tain lines considerable of an increase ; for instance, in 1879 there were 26,262,700 yards of cotton, print goeds, against 22,- 385,200 in the same period of 1878; of linen there were 43,921,600 yards, against 40,587,700 ; of yards of silks, broadstuffs, 175,000, against 104,316 ; of wool, 756,000 pounds, against 256,700 in 1878. In wor- sted stuffs the balance was the other way, the figures being 12,279,800 yards, against 17,190,700 yards, while .in carpets the pro- portionate falling off was much greater, the export being 103,800 yards, against 235,400 yards in the six months of 1878.
