Che Speaker tock the chair at 3 o’clock, after which several petiti: ere present- ills were read us a first time. John Macdonald said the Finance Minister had received an intimation from Sir Richard Cartwtizht that he intended to propose a resolution to-day in the nature of an arraignement of the Government, and which it seemed was likely to cause a pro- | longed debate. He suggested that it be not brought up to-day, as many of the mem- | bers wished to go away this evening for Sunday. He thought that if Sir Richard did consentto putoff his resolution he might let the Government know what it was so that they might be prepared to meet the attack. Sir Richard Cartwright said he would defer to the request of the leader of the Government, and postpone the introduc- tion of his motion, especially as he had not made the House aware of its precise nature. He might say that it would have been in- troduced before now, but forthe unfor- tunate indisposition of Mr. Laurier, who had been for a few days confined to his Sir will Le dispensed at the close of the morning service. incase Orr For Dorcnester.—The prisoners Hill and Callaghan, convicted at the lust sitting of the Supreme Court, left for Dorchester peni- tentiary last night.

Runners were used in the work, 2nd it took forty-four horses to haul the building into its new position. Mr. Albert Kelly, of Lot 48, superintended the job. Mr. Doyle is highly pleased with the success Of the operation. wines Weer Meritev.—Says the Chatbam Ad- vance: A few days ago,fan express parcel, repaid, arrived at Chatham for Rev. N.

JHERE was a very good attendance at the rink last night to witness the races. At nine o'clock the gong sounded for the ice to be cleared and for the skaters in the first race—A. Newsom, K. Ferguson, W. Davies, W. Earle and G. McKie—to be in readiness. Having drawn for places, they came to the starting point thus: McKie, Ferguson, Davies, Newsom, Earle—the three first named having the inside place, and so on with the rest. At the start Earle took the lead, which he held until they had reached the first cor- ner, when he was easily passed by Newsom, who shot to the front and kept there until the time (one-half hour) was up, Earle fall- ing back to second place, which he kept till the end. In the first lap Davies claim- eda foul against Earle, which, however, waa not taken notice of, asthe odds were decidedly in the latter's favor. The others having dropped behind, the race was vir- tually between Newsom and Earle, both skating at a lively pace, but with the former steadily gaining on the latter, doing so untii time was called, when he was 5} laps ahead of Earle, who, however, made a good second. It was noticed that some of the losing competitors made several mean attempts to foul Earle, and to trip him up, thinking thus to make him lose the race; but, owing to his watchfuiness and activity, they all failed. These fouls were intended to ap- pear accidental, but to those present it was uite plan that they were intended. They dia not reflect much credit on the perpe- trator. Throughout the race Newsom did splendid work, showing caretul training and a clear understanding of what he had to do. He was closely followed in this by Earle, who gives promise of becoming a fast as well as graceful skater. Following are the scores : Laps BD MOWOR 200 ccccccccccscessccccsces 1033 W. Earle.....

After recess Hon. David Mills read the statement appearing in the papers that the Canadian vessels seized by the United States in Behring Sea in 1888 and which have been held until this time pending ne- gotiations concerning the disputed right of seizure have been advertised tu be sold in March. He asked whether there had been auy correspondence with the foreign office on the subject, or if the Canadian Govern- ment had asked that acruiser be sent to protect Canadian vessels. He desired to know what representations had been made by the Canadiaa Government. Sir Hector Langevin suggested that Mr. Mills should move for a return in the regu- lar way. Hon. C. H. Tupper said a good deal of correspondence had already been brought down. Any request for the rest, he had no doubt, would receive fair consideration. NOTES. The brandy importers of Montreal to-day asked for a readjustment of duty, desiring it to be levied on the strength of the spirit instead of the quantity. A large deputation of rolling miil pro- prietors and manufacturers of iron and steel interviewed the Ministers of Customs and Finance to-day, to urge that no change be made in the duties on iron and steel. Representatives of Harrris & Co., and Burpee,of St. Join, the Nova Scotia Co. of New Glasgow, and the Halifax Rolling Mill Co. joined in the request. , Mr. Patterson, representing the Iron and Steel Works, however, asked for an in- crease in the duty on wrought iron scrap of from $2 to $4 per ton. Mr. Mills, of Annapolis, presented a petition to the Minister of Fisheries to-day, asking for an extension of the lobster fish- ing season for the Bay of Fundy ccast. A delegation of forty Ontario millers in- terviewed the Government to-day asking an increase in the duty on flour of from fifty cents to adollar per barrel. ‘Twenty members of Parliament accompanied them. Sir John Macdonaid said the Government would give the matter its most serious con- sideration. Ff a _———— A Narrow Escape. Vicroria, B. C., Feb. 22. A Chinese.man and woman, through being refused their wages for the last eight months, and being told to leave without the means being provided, by Capt. Robin- son, of Moresby Island, madea raft and endeavored to reach Saanich. The current carried them into the straits, where they drifted two days and three nights without food or water. An Indian in a canoe found them both lashed to a raft, the woman in- sensible and the man barely conscious. He brought them to Foul Bay, and they came to Victoria. An action has been taken against Robinson, the owner of the island, for wages. Both waifs will recover. — Mr. Jeffreys Again. Toronto, Feb A new development has taken place in the case of Rev.

The Church of Christ was not built by any uninspired man, but by Peter, chosen by the Head, Christ, who said ‘* ou this | Rock I will build my Church.” Jesus told the disciples to tarry at Jer- usalem, till they be endued with power from on high, see Acts of Aposiles, 2nd Read what was preached, part of which reads, ** Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly God hath made that same Jesus whom ye have cruci- fied, both Lord aud Christ.” Now when they heard this they were pricked in their hearts, and said unto Peter and the rest of t'e Aposties, men and brethren, “* what shall we do?’ What answer did the Apos- tle Peter give? 38th version, ‘* Repent that and be baptized every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins.” 4Ist verse, ** They that giadiy re- ceived His word were haptized.” Now, what kind of Chureh did the Apos- tle build on this oceasion ? Was it a Baptist Church of any of the kinds mentioned by you? When this pattern is followed, does it not make the Church of which Christ said : ** upon this Rock I will build ny Church,” which is the Church ot Christ. Yours truly, M. SrevENSON.
