Peter DesBrisay Esquire Mr. Perer DesBrisay passed away He was the eldest

yesterday morning. nas DesBrisay—who

g son of the late T

established the Apothecaries Hail in 1810—and was born on the 17th of September 1811. For many years he was assistant Postmaster General under the late Thomas Owen, Esq., and sub sequently uoder the Hon. L. C. Owen. Upon the latter gentleman's resignation he was appointed Postmaster General of the Island, and held the office until there was a chavge of Government in 1867.

Assistant Provincial Secretary, which he} held until the amalgamation of that | office with that of the Clerk of the}

Executive Council in 1876; but he retaioed a position in the Provincial Secretary's Office until 1879.

The Irish Question in Parliament |

Tue [rish question was of course the | chief feature of the debate which took | place on Friday on the Address in reply | to the Queen’s Sptech. According to| the telegraphic summary, Mr. Gladstone | said that in seeking a re-election he was} main'y guided by the wish to proceed | with a proposal regard to both the legislative and social position of Ireland. | Oaly the Government, however, .was| able to act in such a matter, and he} did not intend to introduce a proposa! of) his own, but he would reserve his! opinion. He would also reserve his} decision whether to alter or to add tu the proposals embodied ia his election mapi- festo. He pleaded for a patient hearinug of the opinions of Lrish Nationalists.

In reply to Mr. Giadstone, Sir Michael Hicks Beach said the new chief secretary for Ireland would cousider the question whether the ordinary powers were sufii- cient, or whether special powers would be needed to suppress boycotting.

Mr. Parnell said that he had always believed that if the principle were admit- ted that Ireland was entitled to some form of self-covernment,the settlement of the details would not be found a formid- able task, and thai there be no yreat difficulty in securing the Empire against separation. He himself, although a Pre- testant, feared no danger to the “minority in Ireland from the Catholics. The whole question was one of reasonable or ex orbitant rents. He denied that the} National ‘League encouraged boycotting. Nationalist members, he said, on seeing | the manifest desire of England to weigh! the Irish question calmly, had resolved | that no extravagance of word or action| on their part should mar the first fair chance Ireland ever had.

Lord Randolph Churchill said he wished the House to clearly understand that it would be impossible for the present Government to sanction an Irish Parliament. But the Government would be prepared when the proper time ar- rived with a scheme to improve local vovernment io ireland.

In view of the gravity of the situation, the statesmen of England dre evidently determined to be calm and moderate in their words, The remarks of Mr. Par- nell were, it will be admitted by all, prudent and sensible.

Founp Deap.—James E. Harvey, about 45 years of age, of Lockhartvilie, was found dead on the main post road, near Lock- hertville, on Thursday evening.

A Misapprehension Corrected.

Sixn,— Mr. Hooper, in his card to the citizens, wherein he seeks re-electi-n to the Mayoralty, takes credit to himself, that, during his term of office a considerable amount of debentures has been redeemed, 1 understand that he is using this argument freely in his canvass. It is a matter of regret that the worthy gentleman should labor under so grave a misapprehension, A reference to the Civic Accounts will establish the fact that during Mr. Hooper's term of office, debentures to the amount of $2,900 were redeemed, and a {new issue floated of $20,500, so that the bonded debt of the city was $17,600 greater when Mr. Hooper went out of office than when ho came in The figures speak for themselves,

G reqnisitior ‘veral hundred cilizens, [ consider it my du . offer as a candidate for the Mayoraity of . ais city

If elected I shall ad minister the city affairs economically, and as a guarantee of my future actions | may mention that firing iny former occupancy vo! the Civic Cheir, debentures to the ameunt of several thousand dollars were paid off, an occurrence which did net happen for many years previously.

In regard to a system of water supply, it is now “generally conceded that a system of sewerage would sooner or later have to fol- low the iatroduction of water woks. Auy private company having the privilege of making profits from water works, in this city, should be required to construct sewerage, if, after proper investivation, it be found that water works wonld necessitate sewerage, Shoald a majority of the City Counciilore deem it desirable to bring in a supply of pure water, for domestic as well as for fire pur- poses, withont entailing; any great additional taxation, I would approve of the same, pro- vided the question were submitted to a meeting of the citizens for their consent

I am opposed to the unjast poll tax upon citizens ov-r sixty years of age, and also upon all those who contribute to the city revenue through personal or property taxcs, agd shall endeavor to keep down taxation. I am in favor of every impreve nent and conveni-nce for the health and comfort cf my fellow citizens within the means of the tex payers ; but to obtain them, J am not in favor of increasing the debenture debt, the intcrest on which alrealy abso b a large portion of our city revenue.

I shall pursue the same course in the fature as in the past in regard to saving and expend- ing the citizens’ taxes without extravagance, and will otherwise, if elected, do all in my power to serve the best interests of the city,
