Tue National Policy; has already given an impetus to Interprovincial Trade ; and if the policy be continued the volume of Interprovincial Trade will increase year by year to the mutual profit of all concerned in it. . In coal and flour there has been already a successful and profitable interchange. Cape Breton coal has been laid down in Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and Quebec by means of vessels, which brought to the Maritime Provinces cargoes ¢f Ontario flour and other commodities. We are informed that Messrs. Howland are conducting 4 profitable trade in bringing coal from the Little Glace Bay Mine to Toronto, and shipping flour as return freight. Sailing vessels have been thus far engaged in the trade, the freight to Halifax being forty cents as against sixty or sixty-five cents by Grand Trunk railway. Among the schoon- ers which have brought, or are bringing Nova Scotia coal to this port, are the Herbert Dudley, Cavalier, Foster, Erie, and Elgin. That a successful trade has been established is no longer matter for specula- tion, and indeed the profits aggregate from $1,000 to $1,500 per cargo. The develop- ment of the trade will enable the Ontario people to obtain Cape Breton coal at still lower rates. This information is borne out by the fol- lowing letter recently published in the Toronto Globe :-- (To the Editor of the Globe. ) Sir,—As the representative of the ‘‘Glace Bay Coal Company,” I beg you to publish the following, contradicting statements in your editoral entitled ‘‘Complete Failure of the Coal Tax,” of yesterday's issue. The Dudley's cargo was placed in this mar- ket as cheap as the ae’ quality of Ameri- can bituminous coal, and at a good profit. No American coal equal to it can be pur- chased in Toronto for less than $4.90 and $5 per ton. : Capt. Parsons has offered to re-charter his vessel for less than former terms, but his offer was re Thanking ~~ am, yours, &c. Joun Lirueow. Toronto, Jaly 25, 1879. It is noteworthy that, though this prefit- able and beneficial trade—beneficial to On- tario and beneficial to the Maritime Prev- inces—has resulted from the imposition of a duty of fifty cents per ton on coal, coal was never before so cheap in Prince Ed- ward Island as it isnow! The prophetic sage of the Patriot prophesied falsely. el Rumors Without Foundation. eee ne | MAGINATIVE INDIVIDUALS, in the cool shades of oppesition, have been reporting contemplated changes in the personel of the Dominien Cabinet. There is no tangible ground whatever for such a report. The rapid and wonderful changes which took place in the McKenzie Cabinet are not likely to prove a precedent for Sir John A. McDonald. The Torente Mail—a good authority on the point—says :— ‘‘We are strongly of opinion that Sir John will continue to be Premier and Min- ister ef the Interior for some time to come. We are equally confident that Sir Charles Tupper will remain Minister of Rail- ways till he has succeeded in proving to the country that his reforms were real and his plans well founded. We are strongly of opinion that Sir Leonard Tilley will re- main Minister of Finance long enough to render Sir Richard Cartwright unhappy by a series of surpluses and the success of the National Policy, and that the Government, having committed itself to a great policy, will hardly change its composition seriously till that policy has been in as great a meas- ure as possible fulfilled to the gratification and applause of the country. We are of opinion that the Minister of Justice will retain his portfolio long enough to appear tedious to the Grit inconstants. It is said that the Chief Justice ef Nova Scotia is to ‘superannuated.’ It may reassure our Grit friends to know that there is no power to superannuate the Chief Justice of Nova Scotia, who is of a disposition to cling to work in which he takes great delight, and for which he is so eminently fitted. In conclusion, we may observe that in our opinion the very last thing on the cards is ac in the Ministry at present, and eur Grit contemporaries will find it pure waste of space to discuss the matter.” The Japanese are now making kerosene from petreleum wells of their ewn, but they - have not fyet discovered its usefulness in kindling the kitchen fire. > aos ‘ $i x ; Ean. Thé Viéé-Regal Visit: PREPARATIONS IN ST. JOHN. Tue St. John Telegraph says :— ‘‘ As the date of the arrival of our dis- tinguished visitors draws near, preparations are quickened and we begin to see what is likely to be accomplished. A new feature, occasionally mooted, was decided upon yes- terday, namely, a torchlight procession, to be got up by the City and Portland. This, of course, will ceme off on the night of the 6th of August, which will, we should think, be that of the illumination by request of the Mayor. A torchlight procession, when well managed, always proves an effective and imposing demonstration. While Draw- ing Rooms are for the few, torchlight pro- cessions and fireworks are for the many. ‘*Ag the Press of other cities, as well as our own, will be represented at the public appearances that will take place, it has been arranged that a committee consisting of the Mayor, Mr. Willis and Mr. Elder, will take such steps as may be necessary to secure the entree and preper accommodation of the Press. “It would seem that the arches which, at first, for economic reasons, were hardly contemplated, are growing in favor, and that we are likely to have quite a number. Carleton seems determined on an arch; Portland is of the same mind; the merch- ants of Dock and Charlotte streets are fol- lowed by those of King street in aiming at the same kind of ffestal demonstration— possibly the entrance to South Market street may be graced in the same way. The tendencies are in that direction at present. Then there will be an arch at the freight station, if no change is made in the plans, and decorations of some kind at the New Brunswick Cotton Mills. ‘‘Candles will be a great deal used in il- lumination. A water street merchant dis- posed of his entire stock of that article, which is now controlled, as well as other material suitable for the purpose, by a Char- lotte street dealer. Chinese lanterns will be used in stores. In many private dwell- ings it is believed gas will be used, and the blinds drawn up so as to give the dwellings a festal appearance.” PREPARATIONS IN CHARLOTTETOWN Tue local Government have appointed the following gentlemen a committee to prepare a reception to the Marquis of Lorne and. Princess Louise :—Hon. Messrs. Sullivan, Ferguson, McLeod, DeBlois, A. A. McDonald, and Messrs. Yeo, Farquharson, Wm. McGill, William. Murphy, R. R. FitzGerald, and Donald McKinnon, We are informed that neither balle nor banquets will take place on the occasion of the vice-regal visit. The com- mittee will meet this evening at three o'clock to arrange preliminaries. It is suggested that Her Royal Highness be asked to formally open the Asylum for Insane which is now nearly completed. The suggestion is worthy of consideration. The Princess would, doubtless, be gratified to have her name coupled with this chari- table werk of ours. The public buildings, including Govern- ment House, are being painted and put in order. —— .-_—-oaPe A Brave Girl. AN INTERESTING CEREMONY. Miss Johanna Smith lived as a servant girl with Mr. McDonald, Bedeque Peint, and was industrious and saving. A fine looking young fellow named William James McDougall was also hired, and in course of time managed to gain Miss Smith’s affec- tions, and then deserted her, and at a tea party toek up with another girl. Miss Smith applied to a lawyer for redress, and McDougall was arrested under a bailable writ, for damages and breach of promise, and lodged in Summerside Jail, and a stop, for the time, put to his courting, and the blissful enjoyment of having a stroll at moonlight with his girl of the tea party. But although Miss Smith had her heartless lover caged, she did net feel happy, and passed sieepless_ nights think. ing about his hard fate, about all those handsome and manly _at- tractions of his that had found a lodgment in her heart, and about her own ferlorn condition, and to the jail she went to see him. Through the wicket they talk, and {inside the prison doors he promises that, if she sets him free, he will marry her. Neither of them has the two dollars re- quired for the license, but some generous friends go round with the hat and the money is gathered in, and a generous Jus- tice of the Peace consents to perform the ceremony free gratis, and inside the jail all is bustle as the fellow-priseners of Mc- Dougall help to rig him out, and to polish him off fit for the great occasion. But now comes a cruel on and delay— the lawyer must have $12 for his costs. The heart of the girlis like te break, and inside the jail all is quite and sadness ; but love laughs at bolts and bars of iron, and she whispers through the wicket: ‘‘ I’ve got a littte cow, and I'll sell her to get you out.” The cow was twelve miles away,and none will ever know the toils and hardships that dear girl endured in driving the cow through the woods and swamps, bofore she got her sold and the lawyer satisfied. Last week once more all was right, but not yet, the Sheriff wanted $1.75. Fancy the anguish of the young girl, she had no other cow, had now nothing left in the world, and a silent prayer went up, and the heart of a stranger was touched and the Sheriff paid, McDougall een th f th le of ering of the e of Summer- side, eilicevenl ot the toma barristers of of the Province, were now met in the Court Room.

[Le Canadien. | M. Letellier is dismissed. Chastisement has waited long, but, by the force of things, it has at length overtaken the guilty. Law and justice have been trodden under foot. They are now avenged. [Le Nouveau Monde. | This act avenges the violated constitu- tion, and saves the autonomy of the Prov- ince. It signifies that the Lieut.-Governor ought to hold impartially the balance of power. As between the rival parties which dispute in the Legislature, he ought to avoid partizanship, and submit their quar- rels to the arbitrament of the pepular will. {Courier de Montreal. } At length this important question has been settled to the satisfaction of those who believe in responsible government. We rejoice at it, not because we see in it the chastisement of the auther of the coup d'etat but because we are happy to find that re- sponsible government is more than an idle expression in this province. es ow that the rights of the people are tri- umphant, the friends of the Lient. Governor, those whose interest it is to uphold the coup d'etat, throw fuel on the flames.

Luc Letellier de St. Just as Lieut.-Governor of the Province of Quebec, has been cancelled by the Federal Governor- General. The Governor-General thought otherwise than we euppowed and he, we be- lieve, under the difficult circumstances was obliged to follow the advice of his Ministers. We submit to the dismissal. He has no doubt considered that it would not be a wise policy to have anether general election in the present state of affairs, and has there- fore confermed to the desire of those whom the popular voice has called to form his ad- ministration. -——-> The Irish University Bill. By the passing of the Irish University Bill, a troublesome question has been re- moved from the arena of British politics. Queen’s University will be waletdd by the Irish University, which will consist of a chancellor and a senate of sixty-six, who are empowered to hold examinations and grant degrees to properly qualified students without regard to their religious belief. Up to this time, neither Dublin nor Queen’s University jhas been allowed to grant de- grees to non-residents, and no Catholic student was permitted te become a college resident. Although the measure has not met the entire approval of the Irish mem- bers, it will remove the anomaly of having two well equipped universities in Ireland at which Catholics, although comprising three- fourths of: the population, were unable to obtain degrees, Horsk MACKEREL AT MIMINIGASH.—Last week the crew of one of the boats owned by John A. Matheson, were greatly annoyed when fishing mackerel, by a large hors: mack- erel. As soon as they would get theirjfish near the top of the water, this monster would bound past the boat, taking fish, jigs, and part of the lines in one scoop. After a time they bated a cod hook, and succeeded in hooking him. This honor fell to Mr. John Wedge— Yankee Jack. They then paid out line until they were able to weigh their anchor. This horse mackerel started for the south at about the rate of 17 miles per hour, taking the boat in tow. The day being calm the crews of the other boats on the ground, could not account for the speed at which their friends were going. Every one had a theory of their own, accounting for the phenomenon as best they could. Some said ‘‘Angels,” some *Devils.” After towing the boat about three miles he became exhausted, when the boat’s crew succeeded in towing him ashore. This fish measured 9 feet 9 inches in length, and its irth was 6 feet 5 inches. When packed he filled a puncheon. This, we believe, is the first horse mackerel ever caught at Mimini- gash.—S. J.

Sir,—In a late issue of your paper you ex- press the wish that a cordial welcome be ac- corded to His Excellency the Marquis of Lorne and the Princess Louise. As far as the welcome extends, all citizens are In unison with the sentiment ; but, if this welcome is to be made the excuse for the waste of one or more thousand dollars of citizens’ taxes, 1, for one, must protest. To his credit, be it spoken, the Governor General requested the citizens of St. John not to indulge in any considerable expenditure to do him honor, and, if St. John can’t afford to waste, it is well known we can’t, in view of the fact that we have a fund- ed debt of about nine dollars a head for every man, woman and child in the city limits, that our drainage and sewers will require a large outlay in the immediate future, that our water supply is entirely inadequate, that our side- walks require a lerge annual outlay, that our streets sadly require repairs, and last but not least, that, owing to the poverty of many tax- payers, a large amount of the present and past year's assessment will have to be remitted. Under these circumstances, our city rulers will do well to be economical. Yours, truly, H. Coomss. August 1, 1879. The Meat Fizzle. To the Ediotr of the Examene. Sir,—The letter of Mr. Bridges, publish- ed in your issue of yesterday, leaves out of sight an important fact. Mr. Bridges has not the honesty to state that it was when the complaint was first made that he called upon me. Nor does he state that the meat I said I was satisfied with was that furnish- ed for my own table. Moreover he misre- presents what I said about the meat fur- nished the inmates of the Poor House, doubtless it is so long age that Mr. Brid has forgotten. But I distinctly told Mr. Bridges at that time that the inmates had made complaints about the meat furnished by him, and I may further state that I com- P ined te Mr. Bridges’ man and requested im to tell his master, and that was after my interview with Mr. Bridges. With re- gard to my receiving any reproof from Rev. G. W. Hodgson, itis quite untrue. I am sir, yours &c., JoHN ALLEN. HOTEL ARRIVALS.
