They possess a highly evamelled surface, and are practically indes- tructible, und will retain their freshness and beauty for any length of time. If they become soiled they can easily be cleaned, as they will not lose any of their beauty by wet. ‘This valuadle quality, com- ‘bined with their remarkable elegance, make them very suitable for presents; while the difficulty of their production will prevent them ever becoming 80 common as to lessen their value. Our patrons cap haye one or all of their Photos finished in this style—an advantage which cannot be obtained elsewhere. ‘

We give special attention to making Groups of Families, Socicties, Schools, &c

Our pictures of children are sufficient evidence of our success in this difficult branch of our art.

Our YNLARGEMENTS, finished in India Ink, Pastel, Crayon, Oil and Water Colors, have made a favorable reputation for them selves throughout the Lower Provinces.

Parties intending to have Photographs made will find it to their advantage to sit early, a@ the namber of our customers makes some delay in the delivery of the Photos unavoidable. We prefer to have our sittera come by appointment, :

Photographs can be obtained for iess money elsewhere ; but in this case we ask that quality be given the preference; as- suring the public that they will tlad our charges very moderate.

Pig ee a i Railway Management.

—— oe

To the Ediior of the Heaminer -

Dear Sr,-—As a sample of the manage- ment of the Railway, so strongly commend- ed by the Patriot, 1 may cite the case of Georgetown Station, where the Superin- tendent has appointed his son to a clerk- ship, at $40 per month, to attend to the freight received from and delivered to the Northern Light—one hour’s work a day ;— and that too, ata time when the station- mastér is without anything to do the greater part of the time.

I suppose young McKechnie was out of employment ; and, as the Railway is a milch cow for good Grits to suck, a situa- tion had to be found him. I should have thought that during the winter there would be a reduction made in the large number employed at Charlottetown or Summerside, so that, if an extra man was required at Georgetovn (which I very much doubt), one of the old hands could have been sent ; but I presume it is better management to discharge old hands to find. ruom for new beginners. There is one-thing certain, that if some of the junior members of the great Davies family do not come to the front soon, they will be outnumbered in the race to assist a suffering country by drawing fat salaries.

LIBERAL.

The Northern Light.

a

To the Editor of the Examiner:

Srr,—A general eleetion will soon be on, when the country will be able to pass judg- ment on the acts of the present Dominion Government. There will then be surveys of harbors ordered, and estimates of differ- ent public works ordered, and each county will be led to believe that it is to have some work, of great benefit to it, carried oui. But I would ask the electors of these coun-

ties to accept all the preparations that will be made at what they are worth, which is nothing.

If a Government, at the cost of afew tons of coal, can double the accommodation for mails and passengers with the mainland, and steadily refuses to do, the prospects of other works which wonld require a larger expen- diture of money, are slim indeed.

By starting the train some half an hour earlier ou mails would reach Picton a little after 12 o’clock, midday, and there is noth- ing in the world to prevent the Northern Light, in ordinary weather, returning to Georgetown daily. It would cost the coun- try nothing extra for wages, as the men are paid by the month ; the expenditure would be simply the differnee in cost of fuel be- tween keeping the fires banked and the running consumption.

The Governmentseem tohaveawakened to the fact, that a place called Summerside has an existence, and, perhaps, the next general election will make them realise that other parts of P. E. Island are alive and prepar- ed to show at the polls their appreciation of the efforts the Government is making to render steam communication in winter the greatest benefit possible !

Telegraphic News.

Lonpon, Jan. 17.—The.Russians are be- fore Philippopolis ; 2 battle is imminent. Twenty-four hours areydemanded te send away the non-combatants.

Suleiman Pasha fought from Tatar Baz- ardjik to Philoppopolis, where he met the Russians in large force. A desperate en- gagement was fought on Tuesday, in which Suleiman succeeded in clearing the road to Adrianople and continuing his retreat thither.

The ‘‘Post,” in official form, confirms the report that England has sent a communica- tion to the Russian Cabinet similar to that made by Austria to the Porte.

It is reported that Bismarck has waived his objections to another European Confer- ence on Eastern Affairs.

It is reported that Ismail Hakki Pasha offered to surrrender Erzeroum if allowed to retire with his troops. The telegram does not say whether the offer was accepted or not.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Jan. 17.— Many rumors are current in regard to the attitude of the Great Powers. it is said that the Grand Vizier assured the German ambassador that the Porte has determined to make peace with Russia, leaving any powers objecting to the conditions to settle the matter with Russia. The instructions of the Turkish Plenepotentiaris was to to make the conclu- sion of tho armistice absolutely certain.

Lonpon, Jan. 18.—The news is confirm- ed of Austria’s declaration.

A Russian despatch says England has an opportunity ofconvincing herself that Rus- sia fully respects the sphere of British in- terests and Russia reserves the right of seeking England’s participation in any al. terations of International treaties.

Their was an impressive funeral yesterday of VictorgEmmanuel.

In the Restigouche election Mr. Haddow ca‘d that both parties claimed him. But he belonged to neither ; he would support the best party.

Opening of Parliament. — The Queen’s Speech.

Lonpex, Jan. 17.—Parliament met to- day! As the Queen did not open the ses- sion in person there was no _ state ceremo- nial. The Queen’s speech states she sum- moned Parliament before the usual time that it might become acquainted with the etferts she made to terminate- the war, and that she might. have its advice and assist- ance. She alludes to lier having declared he intention at the outbreak of the war to preserve neutrality in the contest, which she lamented but failed to prevent, so long as the interests of her Empire were not threatened. The Russian successes have convincéed the Porte that it should endeay- our to briny hostilities to a close, and the Sultan’s . Goyernment accordingly ad- dressed to the neutral powers, parties to the treaties relating to Turkey, an appeal for their good offices. It did not, however, appear’ to the majority of them that they could usefully comply with the re- quest and the Porte was so informed. The Porte then determined to make 2 sep- arate appeal to Her Government, and s at once agreed to inquire ot the Czar whe ther he would entertain peace overtures. The Czar, in; reply, expressed his earnest desire for peace and stated his opinions as to the course which should be pursued to attain it. Upon this subject communica- tions have taken place between Russia and Turkey, through her Government’s offices, and she earnestly truststhey may lead to the termination of the war. She will spare no efforts to promote that result. Hitherto in the war neither of the belligerents has infringed on the conditions on which her neutrality is founded, and she willingly be- lieves both are desirous to respect them as far as lies in their power. So long as her interests are not infringed, her attitude will continue the same, but she cannot conceal from herself that should hostilities be un- fortunately prolonged some unexpected oc- currence may render it incumbent on her to adopt measures for precaution, Such measures could be effectually taken without adequate preparation, and she trusts to her Paeliament’s liberality to supply means re- quiree for thet -purpose. The papers on these affairs will be forthwith laid before Parliament.

The Debate in Parliament.

Jatin

Lonpon, Jan. 18.

In the debate on the address, Granville said that Earl Beaconsfield’s utterances dur- ing the recess were belligerent, and had dif- fered from the expressions of his colleagues. He said if the Russian assurances were un- satisfactory, Parliament should have been summoned at once, If they were satisfac- tory, the present session was calculated to cause a feeling of insecurity.

Beaconsfield replied, the summons to Parliament was issued when an opportunity to offer for peace negotiations appeared. The Porte’s appeal to England was made at the instance of the British Government.

He repudiated newspaper statements on the Government’s policy or divisions in the Cabinet. The Government considered the policy and conditicn of other countries ; it never varied from a decision of neutrality. Beaconsfield had written no letter on pub- lic affairs during the recess ; had speken but once, and then in presence of his colleagues, when he said the Government declared con- ditional neutrality. He concluded: ‘ If, in the negotiations, British influence is in- creased—as God grant it may be—I will-ex- press the unanimous sentiment of the Gov- ernment that that influence will be used for the good of humanity and for securing a stable and enduring peace; but if we are

called n to defend the rights and inter- ests of England, if our present ho and

prospects of peace are unrealized, if there are circumstances that demand that we should appeal again to Parliament for the means to vindicate the honor and interests of the country, I am certain the Govern. ment will never fail to take that course.” (Loud cheers).

The Marquis of {Salisbury denied that the Cabinet , was divided or land isolated. The summoning of Parliament was not an encouragement to the Turks, as they had been repeatedly told not to expect assist- ance from Eugland. He concluded : “ If you will not trust the Government, provide yourselves with a Government that you will trust, If you trust the Government provide it with the proper means of carrying out your confidence.” The address was agreed to.

_ THe MacponaLo Banquet.—The work- ingmen’s banquet to Sir John A. Macdon- ald, given on Wednesday last, at Toronto, was a great success. Four or five hundred sat down to dinner, most of whom were workingmen. The hall was splendidly de- corated. Among those present were a great many radies. The greatest enthusi- asm —— After reading an address to Sir John, Mr. A. W. Metcalfe presented him with a gold watch and chain, and Lady Macdonald with a bouquet. Sir John re- plied in a speech of some length, which was enthusiastically received.

A gentleman who boards at a first-class |

hotel, on King street, St. John, got ve tired the other day, and went to Asie ti an of the large rooms, When he awoke he was surprised so find himself “laid out,” and candles oecning on every hand. His first thought, he said, was that he was in Paris. He expects to get square with the friendy who thus treated him as a corpse.
