Special Despatch to Eeamimer :

Lonpon, August 1.

The dory Nuvtilus put in near the Lizard in consequence of rough weather. She will proceed when the weather moderates.

In the Commons to-day Robert Lowe re- sumed the debate on Lord Huntington’s resulution. The debate led to a lively scene, Lowe accusing the Government of acting a falsehood. Sir Stafford Northcote rose to a point of order that the language of Mr. Lowe was unparliamentary. The Speaker ruled that as the remark was not applied to any member of the Government it was in order.

Mr. Lowe repeated his statement, when the Speaker ruled it to be out of order, as being applied to members of the Govern- ment. r. Lowe then withdrew the ex- pression.

Mr. Lowe’s speech was mainly a repiti- tion of Mr. Gladstone’s argument concern- ing the partition of Turkey, betrayal of Greece, and the uselessness of Cyprus.

The alleged falsehoods which Mr. Lowe referred to, were the instructions sent to Lord Ode Russell, British Ambassador at Berlin, to oppose the cession of Batoum after England had already secretly agreed not to go to war on the subject.

Mr. Lowe violently attacked the abuse of the Crown Treaty making prerogatives, which, it may be here mentioned, has been the key-note of Liberal speeches. He said : ‘* An antiquated prerogative has been drawn from its rusty scabbard and used without the knowledge or consent of the people. The Government had done their utmost to drag Royalty into collision with the people. lt was impossible that Englishmen could be content to leave the exercise of the Royal prerogative in its present position.”

Mr. Lowe’s remarks were greeted with loud cheers from the Liberal benches.

Lord John Manners, Postmaster-General, defended the Government, and Mr. Cham- berlain— Radical member for Birmingham —attacked it, dwelling on its extravagence.

The debate was continued on a strictly postr line, by Sir John Hey, Mr. Stevelly

ill, Mr. Holmes, Edward Knitchball Huggesin, Samuel Irving and Sir John Lubbeck, and was then adjourned.

Be it therefore enacted by the City Council of the City of Charlottetown as follows :—

1, There shall be paid by the occupants or owners of Freehold or Mor des Property within the City of Charlottetown, for City and School purposes, the following sum, that is to say, the sum of Twelve Cents onevery Dollar of the rental for the current year ending on the twenty-sixth day of May, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred seventy. nine, according to the valuations entered against the names of each and every person in the Valuation Book of Real Property made by the Assessors of of the City of Charlottetown, and returned by the said Assessors to the said City Council on the twelfth day of July, in the year of Our Lord One Thousand Kight Hundred and Seventy-eight.

SYDNEY COAL. REDUCTION IN PRICE !

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC!

HE GENERAL MINING ASSOCIA-

TION (Limited) beg to intimate to the — that the price of SYDNEY COAL hes een

Reduced to $2 per ton of 2240 lbs., a price which it is hoped will place it within the reach of all consumers.

The opening of the new winning at ‘‘ THE SYDNEY MINES” and the fact that the SYDNEY COAL now being shipped is all from the DEEP taken in connection with re cent improvements in the process of screening, affords purchasers a positive guarantee of the very superior quality and condition of the SYDNEY COAL now offered for sale.

It is a well-know fact that for-many years

ast the prices of other Cape Breton coals have en regulated by the rates fixed for SYDNEY COAL; but while it is true that other coals, to get a sale at all, have been pressed on the market at various prices under the current rate of SYDNEY COAL, it is no less true that, taking into account the superior lastin qualities of SYDNEY COAL when compare with other Cape Breton coals, the advantage, both as to economy and convenience, is in

| higher price.

The General Mining Association (Limited) regret that they should again have to caution the Public against the attempts being made from time to time to induce them to buy in- ferior coals purporting to be ‘‘ EQUAL TO SYDNEY,” “SUPERIOR TO SYDNEY,” etc., etc., while some yet more unscrupulous vendors have not hesitated to advertise their coal as SYDNEY COAL (from some designated locality). All these efforts to sell coal by such means are only so many admissions on the part of those who make them of the sranDARD character of SYDNEY COAL.

It has come to the knowledge of the Asso- ciation that in frequent instances parties givin orders to truckmen and others for SYDNE COAL have been furnished with other and iuferior coal. The Public are cautioned against | permitting themselves to be imposed apon in this way.
