REAL ESTATE IN MONTREAL.
There is a decided change for the better in real estate in Montreal. One broke sold five properties during the past week at prices much in advance of what the) would have realized only a month ago. An owner was offered $1.75 per foot fora va eant lot on St.- Catherine Street west, a ter days ago which he refused, although he could pot have realized over $1.25 per foot a year ago. For several lots on the oposi side of :his property a bid $2 per foot has been made and, refused.
POTATOES FOR ENGLAND.
The St. John Sun says the barkentine “‘ Lydia” gages over to Carleton to-day to re-class, and will be ready to commence loading about November 10th. She can carry about 4,600 barrels of potatoes, 3,600 of which have been taken already. The principal shippers are sending in lots o' 500 barrels, some of the potatoes coming from up the St John, Harvey station (York Co.) and Salisbury. Quite a quantity wil! be put upin slat boxes, holding a barre. and a half, made at Servoss’ mill, Carleton. Some of these boxes not already taken, can be had on application to the agent, Mrs. 5. Schofield, and as they only cost 24 cents each it is prebable they will sell at a figure across the water which will return a good profit to the shipper.
PRICE OF BREAD.
Speakidg of the difference in the price « bread between Montreal and Toronto, thi Montreal ‘‘Witness” says :
“It must strike the Montreal consumer that prices are relatively less in proportion to the price of floar and labor in Toronto than in this city. There a four-pound white loaf is now sold for 14 cents; here a four- pound white loaf is sold fer 18 cents, some bakers charging as high as 20 cents. Cal- eulating 60 loaves to the barrel, we get the following results for Toronto and Montreal respectively: 69 loaves at 14 cents, $8.40; 69 loaves at 18 cents, $10.80. Flour is, ot course, {rom 50 cents to $1 per barrel dearer here, a difference in price which is, how- ever, partially covered by the fact that bakers’ wages are lower here than in Toronto. However, the recent advance of white bread to 18 cents here is hardly pro- portioned to the advance in flour during the past two months.”
In Charlottetown the retail price is 9}
eents for the 2b. loaf. which is the ordin-
ary size sold here.

The Fa'l of Joly.
ix the unhappy career and untimely and disastrous fall of the Joly Government, there is an important lesson for politicians —the lesson that it is most expedient to act on principle and best todoright. There ean be no donbt that the Joly Government was the result or outcome of an immoral intrigue between the Leader of all the Grits -—the Hon. George Brown-—and the late Governor Letellier. The iminediate object of | the intricue was to place in power in Que- bec, a Government which would lend its in- fluence to the cause of the Grits during the Dominion election contest of 1877. But eventhough it purchased a Speaker and bought off members of the opposite party, it failed in that object.
The lateministry was arbitrarily dismissed while yet they were supported by a large majority of the people’s representatives on the ostensible ground that their railway pol icy was a bad one and that Mr. Joly woald work out a better one. But again there followed a bitter failure. Mr. Joly was cempelle to carry out the policy of his ill- treated predecessors. The finances were to have been righted by Mr. Joly, but he left] them as bad as he found them. In fact, though successful in purchasing power for @ time, he failed in every work of import-
ance that he undertook. And not from lack of executive ability. Mr Joly is one of the ablest men in th
Local politics of Quebec. He failed simply because his Government was founded on wrong—because he was as one born out of due time—because his Government was the outeome of an unconstitutional and immoral intrigue. Besides the satisfaction of seeing wrong «unsuccessful, there is another cause for rejoicing at the ill luck of the intrivuers. In the dismissal of Mr Letellier, and inthe way it was done, the people he ve a guarantee that poplar liberty will not again; in such a way, be en- dangered ‘ ew oe oe
Some Micmacs in this vicinity entered a prorainent mercantile establishment a few deys ago, and the oldest brudder com- menced p -gotiating for a barrel of flour—on credit. J 4 the politest manner possible the salesman informed him that although he always had the highest regard for his honesty, on this occasion, he could not help refusing him. The company were ail will-
ing to become sureties for the due paymen; of the bill; but even this was refused, Brudder :omonstrated indignantly against the distrust of the man behind the coun- ter, and in conclusion cvoly remarked— - **Me not white enough to run away without
pay me bil’ —K. O, Advertser.

Tus hurricane which Province, on Wednesday, has proved most lisastrous to public and private property. he amount of damage done to Government works—wharves, bridges, ete.— throughout the Province is roughly estimated at tifty:
thousand dollars; and the damage to yrivate property— shipping, wharves,
outbuildings, étce,—is estimated to be above sixty thousand dollars. . A tele- vram from Cardigan states that the des- truction to Government property at George- town, Montague and Cardigan is estimated at fifteen thousand dollars. Chapel Whar‘, Grand River; Launching Wharf, Brudenell Wharf (North side); Alley’s Mill Bridge, Louis’ Bridge, McLaren’s Mill Bridge, Lower Cardigan Wharf, are all badly damaged. In fact, every bridge within reach of the tide is damaged more or less. \ gentleman from Lot 11 informs us that the tide rose two feet over several potatoe Gelds in that vicinity—an event which has
not occurred for thirty-five years. Goff’s Mill Bridge, Canadian Bridge, Yeu's Mill Bridge, Bideford Bridge, Mackieson’s Bridge, Venson’s_ Bridge, Dogherty’s Bridge, Ellis River Bridge,
South-west Bridge, and a large number oi other bridges were badly damaged—some being totally carried away. This disaster to the wharves and bridges is much to be revretted as the progress of shipping in this busy season will be greatly impeded. The Commissioner of Public Works has set to work very energetically, and is doing all in his power to have the damages repaired as quick as possible.

NEW BOOKS.
The United States and the Dominion ‘of Canada: Their Future. By Alexander Monroe, Esquire, Author of the History, Geography and. Productions of Nova Seotia, New Brunswick and Prince Ed- ward Island, ete., ete. St. John, N. B.: Printed by Barnes & Company.
Tats book contains a large amount of useful statistical information about the United States and Canada. Indeed, it is for the most part a careful compilation of facts which seem to enforce the leading idea of its author—viz., the unification of North America. Mr. Monroe thinks a union of the Dominion with the Republic necessary, because the Dominion cannot prosper with- out it. In our opivion, he has altogether too poor an opinion of this ‘*‘Canada of Ours.” At any rate, we intend to try to prosper as Wwe are; and, if at a future time, a change be deemed advisable, we shall then be ina better position te make ad- vantageous terms withthe other ‘‘contract- ing party.” The advantages of free Com- mercial intercourse with the United States cannot, it is true, bo over estimated. Butin seeking such intercourse we have met with several rebufis from the Government of the United States. In truth, our neichbors have not treated us very kindly ; and, un. kind treatment before union is not, if wil
be admitted, likely to be followed by kind treatment after umion. [f our neighbors really desire union the proper course for them to persue is to reciprocate trade with as on fair and liberal terms. Tighten the Commercial bond and the political bond will be the more easily forged. A ‘‘United North America is a grand idea ; and if the political institutions of the United States be, in the course of years, ‘‘levelledd up,” ours inay -perhaps, with advantage, be somewhat ‘‘levelled down’ —a compromise may be effected and the grand idea consum- mated. At present, like an elder daughter, we are virtually independent in the old home and quite content under the old flag.
