Queen’s County Exhibition. THe Patriot has the following on the ex-

hibition of fine arts—a department which

our reporter inadvertently overlooked :—

‘* In this department there was a better exhibit than was ever seen before in Char- lottetown. Miss Lockhead, of Mount Stewart, contributed towards it two paint- ings in oil entitled ‘A German Harvest Scene, and ‘A Scene on the Rhine.’ In the treatment of both these subjects no smal! degree of artistic feeling was display- ed. Miss Lockhead also exhibited ‘three crayon drawings of ‘ French conscripts under the First Empire,’ ‘ Their wives bid- ding them adieu,’ and ‘ Their Children lam- enting,’ and excellent portraits of Rev. W. R, Frame and Mrs. Erame, which reflected much credit on the fair artist. Dr. P. W. G. Canning showed a collection of crayon, water color, and sepia sketches, all of which were very well executed and attracted much attention. A very creditable display of photographs was made by Messrs. Lewis, Mugtford, and Cook

_ Revolution ?

———

An English journal of no less respecta- bility than the London ‘‘Times” recently delivered itself of the following :—

Is there

‘*There are political and moral considera- tions involved in this (the English land) question as well as the purely commercial. it is a political consideration of very great moment that, while the aggregate popula- tion and general prosperity of these islands have been for many years steadily on the increase, the agricultural villages are less populous than they were a few years ago. : . It is a moral consideration of possibly more gravity that in the event of the soil, property and power of ihis coyn- try ever being monopolized by fewer and still fewer hands, even by processes quite spontaneous and unexceptionable, there mag arise a fearful reaction. Revo- lutions do not proceed by rule and logic. They are not even reasonable, and the more they are examined the less they can be justified. They may have received some impulse from philosophers and _ theorists, but they are generally rude deliverances from great facts, often the quiet growth of ages, that have acquired tyrannic force and overweening magnitude. There certainly would arise danger to the State and Con- stitution of this country if the number of landowners and tenant farmers should be very much diminished, the aggregate popu- lation becoming meanwhile much greater, and retaining its present taste for rural scenes and occupations.”

——— i oo

Mr. Robert Young, who has so long and successfully carried on the dry goods, mil- linery, and sewing maehine business on the South Side of Queen Square, has found it necessary, Owing to ‘his rapidly increasing business, to remove to a larger and more cotamodions premises ; and has taken the well-known and centrally situated shop on Queen Street, oppesite the Market House, lately occupied by Messrs. J. D. Mason & Co. We visited Mr. Young's new premises this morning, and from what we saw there we are convinced that his reputation for keeping a first-class establishment will not suffer in the least for the change, but will, if possible, be increased. The front shop which is large and commodious, has been completely renovated and handsomely painted. In it are to be found a large and varied assortment of silks, satins, velvets, ribbons, laces, dress stuffs, millinery, and a thousand and one articles dear to the feminine mind. Here also are shown speci- mens of the various kinds of sewing ma- chines kept in stock by Mr. Young. In the rear of the shop is a spacious and wuil lighted show-room, in which the ladies can have an opportunity of inspecting the mil- linery exhibited there without the trouble of ascending a flight of stairs. This is a convenience which, we are‘sure, Mr. Young’s customers will appreciate. On the second flat are two rvoms. In the first of these are stored on shelves large quantities of goods from which to replenish the stock in the shop below. The other room in the front of the building is a large,-comfort- able, and airy work-room, where a number of young women are employed in making up and trimming hats, bonnets, &c. The whole of the third flat is used as a wareroom for sewing machines. Here are to be found these useful labor-savers in great variety, from the sixteen dollar hand machine, up to the large and handsomely-finished ones worth $150. Some of these are set up and ready for use, while others are in pieces and packed away in cases. On the whole, we may safely say that Mr. Young’s estab- lishment is one that would be a credit to any town in the Dominion.—Patriot.

Commercial News.

THE REVIVAL OF TRADE.

Under the above heading the Montreal ‘“‘Herald o° Tuesday moralises on the com- mercial situation, and tells us that the revival of trade in the Dominion has come upon us very suddenly at last. It thus appears that, be the cause National Policy or waatever else it may, an improvement in trade is a fact ; and that ivstcad of an aggravation of the long line of calamity which.accompanied the Grit commercial policy being the result of that by which it has been superseded—as the ‘‘Her- ald” and its friends declared must certainly be the case-—it lias been followed by a revival of prosperity, a fact which proves them to have been very bad prophets.

RECIPROCITY WITH GREAT BRITAIN,

The colonies (Mr. ~MacIver, M. VP. for Birkenhead, says) are still our best customers; but if the protective system

inaugurated by Canada extends, we shall lose

jour colonial as well as our foreign markets.

Under these circumstances the question ought certainly to receive more consideration than it has done, whether itis not possible to ad- just our fiscal system so that, instead of fight- ing, the Mother Country and the colenies might mutually aid each other in the compe- tition with the foreigner. The reciprocity wave is gathering strength, and it will assume considerable importance before the general election.

IMPORTATION OF TEA.

The Belville ‘‘ Intelligencer,” the organ of the Minister of Customs, says that the direct importation of teas into the Dominion in 1879 is much in excess of that of 1878, and it quotes from Adamson, Bell & Co.’s Yokohama Tea Circular in support of the statemsnt. In this circular the shipments of Japan tea for Canada from the opening of the season to 21st August, 1879, are put downlat 2,312,232 Ibs., against 200,856 lbs. in 1878, or an increase of over ten hundred per cent. The ‘ Intelligencer” claims that the change is due to the new policy.

BUSINESS AT POINT DUCHENE.

The Point DuChene correspondent of the St. John ‘‘Sun” writes :—‘‘Business is reviving here and the outlook for the fall trade is good. The Island steamers are doing a fair business, although not as heavy as last year, the Gulf Ports steamers taking a considerable portion of the western freight to P. E. Island. Last Saturday the steamer ‘‘St. Lawrence” took 1,000 bbls. of flour and a large quantity of miscellaneous freight, bringing over 600 seeep for England, two-car loads o and a quantity ef eggs, flax-seed, &c. The ‘‘Princess of Wales” yesterday brought over some 400 sheep for St. John, 100 bbls. dried codfish for Boston, and 200 bbls.of oysters for Montreal and Quebec, with the newal quantity of eggs, &e.”

rREIGHTS,

Freights to Liverpool are quoted at6ls 3d.,

but no transactions at that figure have taken

lace. The tonnage offering “is slight, there

eing but one ship of 1006 tons in the market Coastwise: Bostor, $2.00; New York, $2.75; Philadelphia, $2.75 for lumber. Our Shediac correspondent, writing yesterday, says :—‘‘A entleman received a tele here, to-day of- ering $1.80 freight from ictou to Montreal, and grain from Montreal to Liverpool for orders at 8s. ‘This is the best grain freight for yeara.””

SUGAR.

The Boston ‘‘ Journal of Commerce ” reports that 19,000,000 pounds of granulated and cube sugars have been shipped from the port of Boston to all parts of the world—principally Great Britain. The total foreign shipments last year to all points amounted to 13,834 barrels—equal to about 4,000,000 pounds. Our contemporary claims that the cutting off of the shipments to Canada, on account of fthe increased tariff, has been much more than compensated by the opening up of the English markets; and it considers the running of the retineries to to their full capacity without stop- page an indication of the improved times. A

act in connection with the sugar trade be- tween the West Indies and Boston, regarded as noticeable, is the employment this year of a larger class of vessels than formerly. Some of them have had cargoes of 3,000 hogsheads, and others have taken as high as 4,000 hogs- heads,

RECIPROCITY.

English newspapers are beginning to talk as follows, this selection being from a journal called ‘‘The Machinery Market” :-—‘‘Under the present system we have to buy from £70, - 000,009 to £80,000,000 worth of food per an- num from abroad. Supposing we pay half*of this to the United States of America, what do they do with this money? Simply keep it to themselves. They buy very little from us, and are determined that what they do buy shall be as little as they can help. By means of a high protective tariff the Americans en- sure that this money obtained from us shall be spent amongst their own manufacturers, in- stead of with us. The consequence is that American manufacturers are flourishing on the money paid for the food we buy from them, whilst English manufacturers are starving.”

‘‘Weppep Yet no Wire.”—A Halifad de- spatch of the 10th says : —‘‘On Wedneday night a female soughtprotection at the police- station, She said she was to be married the following night to a Corporal of the Marines. Last nignt she turned up at church, but in- stead ot a Corporal, a Private of Marines ap- peared to fill the post of bridegroom. He had the license, and she either didn’t notice the change for the moment, or didn’t care, and the ceremony was performed. It turned out that the Corporal was drinking at a saloon to nerve him for the expected task, while the a who had previously arranged to cut

im out, was being married. All three subse- quently met in a bar-room. The bride was wild with grief, throwing her arms around the neck of the man te whom she should have been married. She said she would never have him. The successful and unsuccessful suitors then indulged in a long and hard fistic combat. The bride refused to live with her husband, and he left her.”
