Mr. Martin in moving that the draft address be committed to a Committee of the Whole House, spoke ofthe noble and gracious qualities of our beloved (Queen, whe rules over a population of over three hund- red millions. The British Empire tsone of the greatest the world ever saw, containins as it does, an area of 9,000,000 of square wiles. During the reign of the present sovereign, this Empire has made greater rides in progress than during the rule of sny previous monarch. This progress was not only in acquiring territory, but also was shown by the vast improvement m the material welfare of the people, in the ad- vancement of the arts and sciences, and in the edueation of the masses. The genius f the inventor has not only revolutionized trade of the worjl, but has brought luxuries and comforts previously reserv ed for the rich, within the reach of the most moderate income. In _ view of the many venefits the pe ple of this Empire have ob tained under the benign reign of Her Majesty, he was assured that earnest prayer would be made by _ every loyal subject that her rule may be long continued. The portion of her empire known as the Dominion of Canada, has increased very rapidly in population and wealth daring the last fifty i ; years, and in no part of the British luminions is loyalty to the Queen more heartily expressed. The population of the Dominion is now not far short of five millions; and the vast tracts of the fertile und that have lately been opened up for settlement, warrant us in believing that \is Canada of ours will in the near future be the home of scores of millions. In cur wn Province, although very rapid increase pulation and wealth may not be seen, yet the comfortable appearauceof thesmiling nesteads of our farmers evidence a great mount of substantial comfortand happiness. With regard to our Stock Farm,he theught 44 private enterprise was supplying im proved stock, the Farm might be utilized for the purpose of testing diferent kinds of eds and grasses, and also ‘the kinds of frnit suitable to our soil and climate. Farmers would then have confidence in un- dertaking the growing of fruits, and would not be at the merey of tree pedlers, who zo around the country selling inferior trees. The Farm might also be made a training school for young men in the science of agriculture. He referred to the list of exhibits sent to the Colonial and Indian Exhibition last year, and considered that ‘ason to be proud of the number snd quality of the articles sent from this small Province. With regard to steam ommunication with the mainland, it was ratifying to be assured that this long neg- lected question was likely to be settled in the near future. He referred to the Sub- way prop sed wo be built under the Straits of Northumberland, and accorded great praise to Senator Howlan for displaying so much energy in bringing the matter to the notice of the Dominion Government. He ilso spoke of the plans submitted to the inspection of members of the Legislature in the Library yesterday, by Senator ilowlan, of * proposed Subway under the Hillsborough, and contended hat it would confer great benefits on a large section of the Island. He argued that on the score of economy it would be wisdom to have this work proceeded with is it would eventually cost less than the present unsatisfactory method of crossing, and showed that the success of a Subway across the Hillsborough would leave the Dominion Government without excuse for neglecting to build the Subway across the Straits. He was pleased to think the Gov- ernment were going to deal with the liquor tratlic. On the question of amending the Education Act, members in both branches f the Legislature were divided in opinion, he consilered the supplementary clause was in injustice to many sections of the coun- try. wo ha | 1 ldress was seconded by the Hon. J James Clow and a general debate followed, at the conclusion of which it passed unani- The Council has adjourned until Tues- HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY. Fripay, April 1. Mr. Speaker took the chair at 3.15. The Heuse waited upon His Honor the Lieutenant-Governor in the Legislative Library, and presented their reply to the speech delivered at the opening of the ses- Sion. Mr. SULLIVAN moved the second reading of the Bill respecting appeals to the Supreme Court. He explained that the Bill provided for appeals from decisions in the County Court, in which $5 and _ up- wards are involved. Mr. SvurHERLAND contended that the right of appeal should be given to every nan, no matter how small the sum in dis- pute House in Committee, Dr. Gillis in the ch lr, acre ed to the Bill. Mx.

Mr. McLezop presented a bill to enable the Diocesan Church Society of the Province to avail themselves of the interest in an endowment fund. The bill was read a first time. Hon. Mr. Svurutvan submitted a_ bill respecting chattel mortgages. The chief requirement of the bill is an endorsement, from time to time, of the amount which re- mains due on any bill of sale remaining on fyle inthe Prothonotary’s office. It was read a first time.

BADLY WANTED BY EUROPEAN GOVERN- MENTS — NO SUPERIORITY, AND THE PROS- PECT OF HIGHBR PRICES FOR IT, The Pall Mall Gazette has the following article—of especial interest, in a commer- ‘ial sense, to Canadian readers:—When Germany, Russia and Austria forbid the exportation of horses across their frontier it is clear that there has been and is much uneasiness in the political atmosphere, to say the least. No motive means which civilization has at command is able to sup- plant the willing four footed ally of man, and his value is as great in these days of scientific campaigns as it ever was, though the chances at present are all against the horses, and war was never so “‘horrid”’ for them as itis now. What France desires to-day, and what she has _ been eagerly seeking for through a longer period = than many appreciate, is an ample force of the tough and invaluable war horses of the period—no_ caparisoned beasts all love-loks and curvettings, and suited in burnished mail before aad be- hind, but sturdy steeds, sound in wind and limb, like the rustic conscripts who bestride them and capable of working for fourteen hours at a stretch on a modicum of food, In the last war she was altogether outridden and outpaced in the cavalry, and the ser- vices of her batteries, when the frightful havoe of a campaign began to tell on them, was not so good as the enemy's. This time it seems THE MISTAKE IS TO BE RECTIFIED, wnd she has been drawing surreptitious sup- plies from Russia, where statistics say there are 23,000,000 head of horses,to the 1,500,- YOO in Austria, 2,000,000 in Hungary, 4,000,000 in Germany, France herself havy- ing $3,000,000 to fall back upon. The greater proportion of these are not avail- ible, being in civil employ, and now sealed against the republic by the order which sought to shut the Europen stable door before’ the steeds were all stolen. Her own countrybreds are not slways the models of a soldier's mount, and the Percherons of Brittany, though admir- able beside plough-poles, lack speed and ‘‘snap’’ for the rough work of war. In Algeria there is a yood establishment of useful stuff, but the half-bred Arabs of the Mediterranean, again, are better at home on the sandy uplands with a bournoused warrior in each high-peaked saddle, than wallowing through the winter morasses of Northern Europe. An ideal trooper of the modern army is seen in the erdimary Eng- lish farmer's riding horse, but, alas for France as for ourselves; last year there were ONLY 2,000,000 HORSES IN GREAT BRITAIN, and there are no more now. General Bou- langer knows as well as the war office that half the stalls in our cavalry barracks are chronically empty, and to fit out a foreign expedition, even of a mild type, reduces our home cavalry to foot soldiers, as well as depopulates the riding schools. In Canada the Gallic seekers for chargers found again abundance of the right mate- rial, horses with short bodies, long necks, good quarters, and am equal share of spirit and strength. Beth these latter essentials are necessary, since the light troopers ef the Loire scale some- thing like 200 lb., and a heavy cuirassier with all his accoutrements weights more than 250 Ibs. For the artillery needs, power and weightare of paramount import- ance, six horses usually working in the traces of a French gun, which with its car- riage and armament will represent 2,500 lbs. of dead weight-——-no mean draught for rough work and over bad roads. The cap- tain of chasseurs, indeed, who was sent on this quest, declared that there were plenty of horses in the streets of Montreal and (Juebee more like what were needed than any they could find in’ the weedy nags of La Plato, the long-limbed Hungarian “tats,” or THE WILD COSSACKS’ CHARGERS of the Black Sea littoral. It is one thing, however, to inveigle the horses of a neigh- boring country across an easy frontier and another to mount a swarm of irregular cavalry, and outfit a score or two of batter- ies with supplies drawn from across an ocean, In one way or another animals for the coming war must be had, and how keen the equiry has been and whither the influx has tended, the prompt and unmistakable measures of the great nations who live near France show. As matters stand at present everything points to the modern war horse playing a leading part in the struggles of the near future. Russia has to-day on the Austrian frontier enough rough riders to flood the border lands of the duai empire and paralyse mobilization; Germany again fringes her army with a crowd of Uhlans almost as numerous as the population of the provinces they occupy, and the public swears between her teeth—if signs go for anything—that to-morrow she will take a leaf from Von Moltke’s book, guard her advance with a swarm of lances and keep her military stables better supplied than they were before Sedan. Whatever the next campaigns be, there ean be but little doubt that arise in the value of horseflesh will be among them, and our own government ought to be much more keenly alive to this and to the subject of English remounts generally than they appear to be. ——————t> <> «. P. R. Extension. THE BOSTON AND QUEBEC AIB LINE THROUGH MAINF. A. T. Stewart,one of the principal engineers of the Canadian Pacific railway, has complet- ed a preliminary survey of the Boston and Quebec air line railroad. The route is to be built from Skowhegan to Moose River, follow- ing the Kennebec river on the east side to Moose river village, there connecting with the Cmadian Pacific to the east and west. At this point the Quebee Central builds down to connect, making a trans-continental junction of the three railroads and the river systems. Stewart reports this a practicable route. This road when completed will be operated by the Maine Central, and become part of the system of the Boston and Maine Railroad. The dis- tance from Boston and Portland to Quebec is estimated at ten hours shorter than at present. ee Wm. O’Brien, editor of United Ireland, in a speech made at Dublin, on the 28th, said if the evictions on Lord Lansdowne’s estates did not cease, he and Kilbryde, who was the principal tenant on his lordship’s Luggacarran estate, and who was recently evicted, would visit Canada to begin an agitation with a view of having Lord Lans.- | down ousted from thé palace at Ottawa. - — SATURDAY, APRIL 2. 1887.
