THe commercial community of Montreal was somewhat startled on the 22th inst., at the announcement of the very sudden de parture of Mr. Murray, cashier of the Ex- change Bank, who it seems, had been dab- bling in speculative shares in this market or *‘gelling short.” Murray evidently missed his mark, and having overdrawn his account to the extent of about $25,000, was ashamed to meet the directors, and consequently left the city. The Bank will sustain comparatively amall loss, as it holds bonds to the extent of

$20,000.

At Windsor Castle arrangements are now being made for the marriage of the Duke of Connaught and the Princess Louise Margaret of Prussia, which, it is understood, will take

revions tothe date fixed for the marriage,

er Majesty’s Princess Beatrice, and the Court will take up their residences at Windsor Castle, when the final preparations for the ceremonies will be completed, the details being somewhat similar to those observed at the marriage of H. R. H. Princess: Louise and the Marquis of Lorne.

Last year we had the pleasure of meeting master Dennis O'Meara Gaul onhis vacation visit to his Island home, and on his return te the College of Ottawa—one of the lead- ing educational institutions of the Dominion Capital—we sent our good wishes along with him. Our young men who go abroad to complete their studies are doing us credit, and no more pleasing task can fall to the lot ef a journalist than the perusal of @ good record of their progress. On this oczasion we chronicle, with pleasure, the academic career of our young friend. In the college amusements, his name figures among the duaronatis personae. At the more severe labors of the class-room, we see him to our better liking. The boy or girl who score 100 marks for latin, 100 for greek, 100 for history, 100 for geography, 100 for drawing, 95 for Algebra, 80 for literalure, and 70 for chemistry, during a term, cannot be devoid of tallent and ap- plication. Such has been master Gaul’s collegate record. We congratulate him upon the high rank he has taken. Both as a young man and a student we hear good accounts of him. The hopes of the Church and State, more largely, perhaps, than in times past, depend upon our well-educated youth. —Com.

From the reply given by Hon. Mr. Tilley to a question from Hon.

The Finance Minister states that the estimates would be placed before members at least three days before the delivery of the Budget Speech.

Zion Church Concert. To the Editor of the Examiner.

Dean Str,—Seeing an advertisement in the different papers headed the Concert of the season, in aid of the Zion Church funds and also that all the best talent in the City were engaged, | was tempted to go in and take a peep, and also hear what there was to hear. Now, Sir, we missed the familiar faces of the Charlottetown Amateur Orchestral Club, Prof. Earle, Prof. Caven, Herr Hermans, Mr. Wil- liams, and a number of ladics of refined musical talent. Therefore, a// the best talent in the city could not have been there. The piano used was not as good a one as we would wish. The accompaniments were badly played. The instrumental music poor. The part music good. Too much time was lost between the different pieces. We think it is exceedingly bad taste for the director to allow the use of the cornet in the choruses. -If the Leader and an organ or plano accompaniment cannot keep a number of voices together, the sooner we give up part singing the better. We also find fault with the arrangement of the programme. The concert was for church purposes, We are treated one minute to a trumpery little galop or waltz, next an anthem, then a comic reading, and so on. I would like to say more, but I wish to be as brief as possible, and hope the few remarks I have made and will make before I close will be taken in good part, and be the means of doing some good at least,

No. lL. Poor selection ; violin out of tune at commencement ; fair.

2. Voices blended beautifully together. Solo, by Mr. Beer, well sung.

4. Played very well; miserable selection.

No. 1 (in second part). Fine voice, and knows how to use it.

2. One of the best pieces of the evening.

3. Very good eftort indeed ; rather too much damper pedal.

4. Mr. Longworth is always good ; enjoyed immensely.

5. Well played ; expected something better from Mr. Vinnicombe.

6. Sung in fine voice.

7. Fairly rendered.

8. Too high for a baritone ; fair.

Yours, truly, GROWLER,
