Union of Great Britain and Her Colonies.
Mr. Forster, [M. P. for Bradford, who is regarded as likely in the coming time to be « Premier of England, in a recent speech, said :
‘‘ There is one special alliance I leok for- ward toin the interests of the future of our race—nay, the future of the world— and that is a special alliance with our kins- men, with the whole of the English-speak- ing people.”
The St. John ‘* News” remarks :—-
‘‘Such an alliance as that would, no doubt, be extremely desirable. The Eng- lish speaking race receiving additions from so many other races day by day is pursuing a wonderful career, and seems to be reserv- ed for a glorious destiny. Holding as it does such precious trusts for the benefit of mankind at large, a good understanding and cordial co-operation between all its branches seem exceedingly desirable.”

New Brunswick Industries,
Things are moving; even in New Bruns- wick, under the National Policy. Nearly $100,000 has been secured for a Sugar Re- finery in Moncton, since St. John will not move in the matter. The foundations of a Brass Rolling Mill and Lock Factory have been laid in the same place, and in the same town the stock has been rapidly taken up fera Knitting Factory. This is nota bad record. In St. Johna party has com- menced to make Blacking for sale through- out Canada, samples of which have been left at this office. ‘Two establishments (Mr. L. H. Yeung, Waterloo strect, and Mr. Waring, of Indiantown,) have engaged in the manufacture of Iron Nuts. Mr. Young’s machine turns outa ton per day, wort! $150 to $200 perton. Messrs, Parks & Sons’ cotton mill has been enlarged to double its old capacity to meet the in- creased demands for its goods under the N. P. Other new enterprises and im- provements are to follow. We might cite scores of evidences of the benefits which the New Tariff is conferring and is likely to confer on the people of New Brunswick. — St. John Sun.

Princess Louise in London.
Says a late London joutnal : —Hor Royal Highness Princess Louise visited the Kast London Hospital for children on the 7th inst. Though the intention of Her Royal Highness to inspect the hospital had not been made widely known, a crowd of per- sons liad assembled to greet her when the Royal carriage drove up to the building. The Princess, who was accompanied by Dr. Agnew Clark, one of the consulting physicians to the hospital, was received by the Committee of Management. Her Royal Highness having accepted a beautiful bou- quet from the hands of Mrs, Reeves, whose husband, Mr. H. A. Reeves, is one of the surgeons connected with the institution,
roceeded to inspect the Princess Mary ward and the Enfield ward. In her tour of the rooms her Royal Highness stopped at the bedside of nearly every child, and in many cases accompanied her words of kind- ly encouragement with the gift of a flower. The Rev. A. Carter was deputed by the Princess to make a similar gift to the mother of an infant for whom t'lere isa small chance of recovery. Having com- plete her inspection of the wards, her Reyal Highness was conducted to the Boar Room, where she signed her name in the visitor’s book, and was afterwards shown the nurses dining-room, the out- patients’ room, the dispensary, and other apartinents. Before leaving the hospital her {toyal Highness kindly consented to have her name inscribed as its patroness, and expressed, through Dr. Agnew Clark to the Board of Management, the satisfac- tion she derived from the visit. As the Roya! carriage drove off, three ringing cheers were given for the Princess.
There is good authority for saying that there is no truth in the report of the Prin- cess being about to change her religion or
of her having ‘‘ had enough” of Canada.

A new Australian delicacy is finding its way into the London market: dried kan- garoe tongues, cured by drying in smoke.
The Hochelaga Cotton Co. intend adding a bay factory to their works, where the manufacture of seamless bags will give em- ployment to a large number of additional hands,
There is a very great difference betwean the late Treasurer of Quebec, M. Langelier, and M. G. Drolet, the Auditor. The for- mer, ia his explanation to the House claim- ed a sirplus of $646,310, and the latter an- nounces a deficiency of $671,811.64. The truth will probably be got at next socsion of the Legislature.

Winter Communication—A Sug- gestion.
To the Editor of the Examiner.
Dear Srx,—I see in your issue of the 2nd inst,, an editorial to the effect that the North- ern Light, which has been tried for the last two winters between Georgetown and Pictou with very little satisfaction to the public, is about to be placed on the the route between the Capes. You say still further ‘‘if the Government would procure two small,staunch, easily managed steamers—something like tug boats—to ply at the Capes during the depth ef winter, they would in our opinion do right.”
Now, sir, 1 think the public will concur with you in that opinion, as it is self evident to every one who has given the least thought to the ‘subject, that the Northern Light is a gigantic fraud, foisted on the people of Prince Kdward Island to satisfy the greedy clamour of a needy supporter of the late Government.
Would it not be as well for the Government to hire one of the steam tugs in our harbor as an experiment, as one of them has proved her- self a good sea boat, having been tested in very severe weather in the gulf. Her hire for two or three seasons would not amount to to the sum which the ‘‘gigantic fraud” cost on the slip at Pictou last spring. Hoping that you will ventilate this subject in your widely circulating and influential journal,
I beg leave to remain, Your obedient servant, SUBSORIBER.

EMIGRANTS FOR CANADA.
A Toronto despatch says that during the ten months ending Oct. 31st last, 10,662 emigrants arrived in that city, against 11,- 452 in the corresponding period last year. The nationalities were: English, 10,6359; Seotch, 2,614; Irish, 3,039; Germans, 1,- 239; Americans, 2,591; Icelanders, 37; Swiss, 129; other countries, 604. The large number of American emigrant is notice- able.
SHIPMENTS OF LIVE STOCK FOR THE SEASON.
According to the statistics furnished by McKachran, V. 8., and Government In- spector of Live Stock, the total shipments this year from Montreal and Quebec, from the opening to the close of navigation, as compared with the two preceding years, are as follows: —
1879. 1878. 1877. Cattle, 24,823 18,655 6,940 Sheep, 78,792 41,250 9,500 Hogs, 4,745 2,078 430
The great najority of animals shipped from Quebec were forwarded by rail from Montreal, and as large as the increased shipments of cattle, sheep and hogs this year are over 1878 and 1877, the exports next year will doubtless show a still larger increase as compared with those of 1879.
POTATOES IM ENGLAND.
Potatoes in Englaud are worth 7s. sterl- ing per 100 pounds, or 7 cents a pound. If ythey could be shipped without great waste, there would evidently be consider- able profit in exporting them. A commer- cial letter received by a St. sohn merchant asks, ‘Are you not going to send us over some of your potatoes ?’—St. John paper.
SHIPBUILDING ON THE CLYDE.
There is no question as to the revival of shipbuilding on the Clyde at least. Every yard there will presently be actively en- gaged, as orders are pouring in with a rush. The orders already on hand involve the construction of 80,000 tons of shipping. The improved condition of things out of which this revival on the Clyde springs must operate favorably on the shipbuilding industry here also.
POTATO EXPORTS IN NOVA SCOTIA.
A large schooner, called the Harry Buschman, is being loaded with potatoes by the Patrons of Husbandry, for Liver- pool, G. B.
The H. B. Jones, loaded with 13,000 bushels of potatoes and -200 barrels of
apples, by the Patrons of Husbandry, left Canning for England on Monday night.
The Patrons of Husbandry are also load- ing two other vessels with potatoes for Europe, one at Kingsport and the other at “Pickets.”
The Modeau is also chartered for Eng- land, and is being loaded with potatoes by W. H. Payzant, of Canning.-—lx. Herald.

The Land Question in Mngland. While the Irish are raising such a row about the land question, the equally, if not more, unhappy condition of Englishmen in like conditions of life is overlooked. Here is a story of how an English landlord treats his tenants: ‘*The Duke of Cleveland has lately evicted from their homes on his Devonshire, estates about one hundred and sixty families They and their ancestors have occupied their honses siuce the Norman couquest. Succes- sive Dakes have refused ty) repair them until they have become rickety, and the present DukeSaas conceived his own method of re form. Heocdered the families to leave and began burning tenements. The poor people had nowhere to go. aud were in great distress. Some gentlemen in the neighborhood remon- strated, but all they could get from the Duke waa permission that the evicted might have a month or two of grace t> find other shelter.” [tis thus evident that the land question is not confined to Ireland, and that before long it will be the great national subject of politi- eal controversy.
Here is a deszription of Gladstone :— He looks an active and powerful man, of middle height,with broad though somewhat stooping shoulders. He speaks with ani- mation and uses frequent gestures. His hair is gray, his face puckered with wrink- les, but his eyes are still very young, quick
nd fall of fire.
