Canada First.

Ovr telegraphic summary of the leading events of the day has already informed our readers that Earl Derby—the son of a great English statesman and author—and him- self one of the able minds of the Mother Country—recommends immigration to Can- ada ard Australia as a panacea for the trade distress under which Great Britain is now suffering. We approve of his Lordship’s suggestion; and hope it will not be allowed to remain a mere theory or suggestion. Its results ought not to be unproductive of good to England and Canada; and Lord Derby’s idea is deserving of th serious consideration of our rulers, who desire to sce our broad and fertile acres peopled and cultivated. We observe that an association in Wales offers £7 to those who are willing to make Canada their home and £4 for the emigrant to Australia. The Dominion offers the shortest passage and the highest pre- mium. To the honest, unemployed labor- ers of the Fatherland we say, ‘‘ Come over and help us to cultivate the generous soil of this Dominion, and by your energy and in- dustry add to the strength, wealth and in- fluence of the British Empire.” Work the emigrant will have; but harvest sheaves will fill his granary and place plenty within the reach of his family. Industrious we expect him to be. In a new country drones will not do well. We bid all classes welcome; but the labor- er in the agricultural line, is the man Can- ada most needs. She will generously repay his early toils and privations; and when his children and friends consign him to the ‘*bourne whence no traveller returns,” they, amid their tears, will have the satis- faction of seeing here an inheritance they scarcely would expect to enter upon “at home.” For the sake of England; for the sake of Canada; and for the sake of our eis-Atlantic fellow countrymen, we hope Karl Derby’s speech will practically bear abundant fruit. For the hardy, honest sons of toil, we are persuaded that our Do- mixion is a better and cheaper place to live in than the United States. Our taxes are less, and our institutions are British. Let, then, our emigration agents bestir them. selves, and let good be done. Look at the Mennonites and the Icelandic settlers! In- dustrious, free, and on the road to content- ment and prosperity they are already.

Captain Frederick Nickerson:

The death of Captain Frederick Nicker- son, at the age of 70 years, occurred at his residence, 401 Broadway, on Sunday nigh“. He was born in Brewster, Me. He followed a seafaring life for several years, and after- wards entered into partnership with his brother David, under the firm name of D. & F. Nickerson. On the death of David the firm assumed the name of F. Nickerson & Co., and carried on business on Commer- cial Wharf. He was a shipowner and a director in the Union Pacific Railroad, and for 30 years director of the Mechanics’ Bank. He was elected president of the South Boston Savings Bank in 1869, and remained so until January, 1876, when he resigned on account of his failing health, but remained a member of the Board of Trustees. Osptain Nickerson leaves two sons and two daughters. His brother, Joseph Nickerson, resides in Jamaica Plain, his brother Thomas in Newton, and Jona- than in South Boston. tleman resided in Brewster in the summer season and in South Boston in the winter. He was a worshipper at the Broadway Unitarian Church, and his life was one of probity and usefulness. Captain Nickerson

little mischievous.

Joun McNevix, sworn—Again related the alleged confessions of Rapsom in the jail, and he said he warned Rapsom never to tell about a crime like that again.

To Mr. Peters, he said : Frederick Davy spoke to me about the reward about a week after Rapsom’s confession—when Rapsom was shifted out of our room. He said, ‘“there’s $590 to be made out of those fel- lows by going out and informing.” The next day Davy fetched out a sheet of paper with Rapsom’s confession written down. He says, ‘‘T am going to inform when I get out, and if you'll come up and swear false ‘for me, Ill give you half the reward.” Witness explained that by ‘‘swearing false” was meant that when he was cross-ex- amined before the court Davy wanted him to say that they had no conversation about the reward.

Fereperick Davy, sworn-—-Again related the alleged confessions of Rapsom.

To Mr. Peters—I never told: McNevin that I would give him half to swear false. He misunderstood me.

Gzornez Carrer (recalled) gave further evidence concerning the location of the building burned.

‘The prosecution rests.

Mr. SHaw, for the defence, calle

Groras Dockenporrr, sworn—Said the

Seilar’s house was false.

To Mr. Palmer—f{ do not know much about Rapsom. I bought Sellar’s property before and after the fire. There was about $890 difference in the price. Ido not do business with Horriel. [ had him hired for the summer. I was never with him at Mr. Sellar’s at unseasonable hours. I do not know who shot Mr. Setlar’s dog. I do not know who told me. I was blamed for it. Horriel did not shoot the dog, that I know of. idid not put the kerosene on Sellar’s

dog. i deny that I admitted to Yeo or any one else that I fired ithe dog or that I knew who did ii.

[ swear positively that I did not shoot the dog at the chain. [was at my boarding house—at Jacob Cummings—on the night of the last fire. There was a ineeting or preaching in the Baptist Church that night. { was not there. I was at my father’s dur- ing the day; but got home to my boarding house between 6 and 7 in the evening. I was nota leader of the choir. I was dis- charged, as I heard, because they wanted a professor of their religion*—a Christian—to lead the singing. Mrs. Cammings and Horriei and myself were in the house the whole evening of the fire after half-past six. My brother William was at my father’s that day. Ithink the burning of the housea very queer case. I do not. know that Rap- som set the fire. I swear positively that I never borrowed three twenty dollar notes from Horriel. I paid $30 to James Carter, Mr. Sellar’s clerk. I got it from Mrs. Cummings who kept my cash-box. I got between 200 and $300 from Mr. Hall. 1 forget the date—in last Nov., I think. {t was paid to me in his office. I deny getting money from Charles Horviel to pay Carter. Horriel used to get money froin me to pay for luinber, [ had nothing to do with shaving the horses’ tails.

Witi1amM Dockenporrr, sworn—To Mr. Shaw—I did not contribute towards giving Rapsom $14 for burning Mr. Sellar’s barn. [ did not hold the pistol as alleged. I know nothing about the tires.

To Mr. Davies-—-I was at my home when the fire took place. On the day before, I was at my father’s. I did not see George on that day. I left my father’s about six that that evening. To the best of my knowledge, George was not at my father’s that day. The day after Sel- lar’s horses were shaved I was at the North River and heard of it. I sometimes take too much to drink. I never saw Rapsom till I saw him at the Mayistrate’s Court. I saw Horriel once or twice before.

To Mr. Peters—I was in Lot 48 the night the horses tails were shaved.

Bens. DockEeNpvorFr, sworn—It is false that my brothers and I made up a_ purse of $11 for Rapsom for buening Mr. Sellar’s ‘ property.

To the Attorney-General—I know Chas. Horriel. I have not spoken to my brother George for three years. ‘ I know Sellar’s. I know nothing about the beehive scrape.

‘room all the sash of a window forced in.

Officor McKinnon, who we left in the front, came to the window and called me and said he wanted assistance. I told him if he wanted any he would have to go the Sta- tion.

I followed on and heard the foot ahead of me. When I came tothe corner of Pownal and Dorchester Street, the prisoner Lamb was standing at Haszard’s old corner. He was very mach exhausted, and appeared as if he was after agood run. I said to him ‘ You hada good run.” Hesaid ‘the was there for a half hour.” I saw Lamb that same night avout 10 o'clock: L returned to Weeks.

To Lamb—-I cannot say whether you or I was most excited. You might have been skylarking or fighting at the corner, and you might not.

To a Juryman—When IT saw Cavanagh first, he was close to me. [am sure it was he.

Auszert Srevenson (sworn)—I_ was standing on my father’s doorstep, opposite Weeks’ shop, a little after 8 o’clock on the night in question. I heard a crash of glass in Weeks’ store. I ran towards the store. and as I did so, two young men passed ine. fam sure the men in the dock are the parties. [told McKinnon about them, and he ran after them. As they passed me they were running slowly.

To Lamb—I did not see your face. There were three sales on Queen street that night, and there were people walking to and fro across the street.

ArTemMas Amos, sworn-— Was standing at LePage’s corner. Heard the glass break- ing. Immediately after, a crowd rushed out from LePage’s salesroom and rushed towards Weeks’ corner. I did not go there. At the same time I saw two men run to- wards LePage’s corner. One ran down Queen Street and the other ran across Sydney Street. One passed me. I saw the prisoners at the bar before, but could not swear whether either of them passed. 1 said before the Stipendiary Magistrate that I thought it was the prisoners at the bar, but I would not swear to them.

Witiiam HucuHes, sworn—Was with the last witness and heard the crash. Saw two persons coming towards us and panting. ‘Lo the best of my knowledge, one was the prisoner Lamb. I would not swear posi- ,tively that it was. ;

To Lamb—There was three sales on the street that night. It did not strike me at the time that there was anything wrong when you passed. .

The Advanco in Potatvas. (Boston Advertiser, 17th. )

Produce dealers holding large lois of po- tatees were cheered yesterday by reports from varions leading cities where potato speculations find favor, indicating the im- medin‘e prospect of a further advance In prices. ‘Che predictions of the condition of the potato market the present month, made in the long review of this interesé in these colanimns in December, have been realized, but to what extent further advances can be carried isan open question. The reports referred to state that at Chicago many of the large pits have been frozen; that peach- blows had advaneed from 60 to 7dc.; and that early rose were quick at 80 and 90c., accurding to lots; this isan advance of 10 to dc. a bushel for the week. Cincinnati was firm with only 70,000 buskels in stuck, and Southern ports free buyers. Bal- timore reports a stock of 113,000 bushels, and Washington buyers operating freely at 90c. for blues. In Philadelphia blues had advanced from 90c. to $1. New York re- ports a stiff market at $2.25 for blues, $2.75 tor Jacksons and $3.25 for early rose ; the operations of five Philadelphia buyers in that market on Monday induced a number of holders to stand out for_a 25 cents per barrel for a further advance. In Boston the stock has not materially changed since our special review above noted. ‘The only cargu here is the Mary Jani, and that is rather more en sterage than in the market. Maine, New Hampshire and Rhode Island dealers are buying a little more freely, aud the advance of 5 cents secured this week holds strong. One of the strong induce- ments that will in the future operate on the Down-East farmers to make more of the potate crop, is the chance of good profits.

LUCKY PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND.

Heretofore vats have been as much a staple as potatoes. Especially on Prince Edward Island it has been the great crop, the average exports of oats being three million bushels. This year the Island oats have been worth only 27 cents, the great West controlling the price. In the twenty years previous the lowest point has been 36 cents, while the average has been 40 cents ; with a yield of 40 bushels to the acre, this returned only $16, potatoes yield- 250 bushels tu the acre at 20 cents, the average price until this year, the returns is $50; but this year these Island farmers have secured about $100 to the acre. The experience of the past summer has convinced dealers that the most profit- able cargoes to ship are in 6,000 bush lots. In about 128 tons sail tonnage, such vessels having only six inches more depth of hold and three feet more beam than 80-ton vessels carrying 3,500 bushels, the potatoes spread out more, and there be- lug turee hatches on the large tonnage against one on the small, better ventilation is therefore secured, and so less rot suffer- ed. The champion cargo was last year. It was put into the barquentine ‘‘ Ethel Blanche,” 428 tons register, with 22,000 bushels. The hold was filled with shift- ing boards into eight compartment’s, hav- ing six inches space between each for air currents; wells were carried down into’ the three hatches, and booby hatches were built over the main and after hatches to se- cure continuous ventilation. The trimming was done with 303 erates. The vessel was loaded in thirteen days, and, sailing at once, arrived in London in fourteen days from the Island, and when opened only 140 bushels were found to be lost by rot, The qualities shipped were blues and garnefS.
