AGMNT FOR PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND: Secretary of ee Chi'ty ivu, i eb, 27, 1884. F. H. ARNAUD, Merchants Benk of Halifax | > on The Sabrevois Mission. Sir,—The statement in my former letter was made upon the authority of the Bishop of Montreal himself. At the meeting | called attention to the fact that several persons had been presented for confirmation, who, 1 had learned from Mr. Tucker, had been previously confirmed. The Bishop, who occupied the chair, sol- emnly assured us that this fact had never ‘been brought to his knowledge, and that ‘he was not aware that anyone who had been presented to him had been confirmed | before. I can answer for the impression produced by this statement upon a large portion of of the meeting. It was a most painful one, because we then learned that, by the “‘sup- pression of certain facts,’ the Bishop had been induced to commit an act which was irregular, uncanonical and void. This is not the only ground of objection What seemed to oppress the speakers-——for they all deplored it—was the manner in which these ‘‘unconverted”’ Frenchmen voted. This does not, how- ever, seem to me a calamity. Not less objectionable is the advice and support afforded to those who refuse to pay ‘the Ecclesiastical tax imposed upon pro- _perty by the law of the province of Quehee. I never before heard principles so sub- i versive of the rights of property, advocated ina public Assembly. I co net hold every supporter of the mission” responsible for its action, Still less for those of its objects which are ‘only partly arrived, for 1 believe there are many who support it ignorantly, and accepts with a child like confidence, the statement, contained in its reports. Ido not blame them. I have neither the right nor the wish to do so, but I {claim for myself the same full freedom of action which I willingly accord them, and in the exercise of that freedom, I shall, upon every opportunity, offer the Sabrevois Mission, the most strenuous opposition in ny power. Yours, etc., Epwarp J. Hopaeson. Hillsborough House, Aug. 22. { ie | The Canadian Pacific. A LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT ON THE SUB- JECT OF THE ‘‘GLOBE’S” FALSEHOODS. The President of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company has addressed the follow- ing letter to the Toronto Globe :— Sir,—I feel compelled by the tone adopt- ed by the Globe in Canadian Pacific matters to ask for space to set its readers right as to the statements of its Ottawa correspondent on the 7th inst., supported by your edito- rials of the 11th and 13th inst. These assertions are that the company had drawn fifteen millions of the government loan before the 30th June, besides the regular payments on account of construction; that the syndicate, as you are pleased to call the company, ‘‘have not been able to unfold any of their stock” and have been making ‘increasing demands” upon the Dominion treasury. The statements are absolutely without foundation, both as to those which are direct and those made inferentially. The company have not received one dollar from the government beyond the amounts expressly authorized by the Loan Act of last session, and they have made no demands upon the government except for the carrying out of the act. And, more- over, the company see no reason to doubt that the provisions made by that act is suflicient for the completion of the railway. As to the stock, I and my associates in the original contract have at this moment a cash capital investment in connec- tion with the enterprise of over eighteen million dollars, of which more than double the five million dollars we agreed to provide have been employed upon the Canadian Pactfiic Railway proper, and the remainder in co}lateral enterprises in con- nection with, and beneficial to, the main enterprise. The amount invested with the company is represented by a portion of the fifty-five millions of stock; and the remain- der of that stock is held by more than two thousand shareholders holding the highest positions, socially and financially, in Europe and America. The company holds no part of the sixty-five millions unissued, except the reversion of the ten millions on which an advance was obtained, as you are perfectly aware from the returns made last session, and therefore have no stock to sell, and if I and my friends were to sell out in- dividual holdings, which we have neither done or tried to do, the finances of the company would be in no way affected. The persistence of the Globe in state- ments such as I have referred to, notwith- standing the publicity given last session to the company’s affairs, and the intrinsic improbability of the re- ports themselves, do certainly convey to my mind, an impression that the company is dealt with not only without the ‘thonesty and fairness’ claimed by your article of to-day, but without a due regard for the facts, and with actual and unjusti- fiable malignity. I venture to hope, however, that your readers will better appreciate our efforts to perform our obligations to the country. Tam, sir, Your obedient servant, Gro.

Gates is pastor, The public meetings begin on Saturday, 23rd, but the governors of Acadia College will begin their sessions on Thursday, 21st The Bapust convention is one of the lar gest, if not the largest, religious convoea- l tion in the lower provinces. It covers the field occupied by seven associations, com- prising about 3550 churches with 38,430 members. Up to 1827 this territory was occupied by but one association and in this year the denominational strength was re- presented by 17 ordained ministers, 30 ‘churches, and 1,827 members. The several associations have been formed since, at various times, to accommodate the growth of the Baptists in these provinces and some of them are so large that a far- ther division will soon be necessary. The membership of the convention is of two classes—:nembers in their own right and delegates from the churches. The former | class includes all ordained ministers resid- ing within the limits of the convention, | the faculty of Acadia college and those | who have paid a certain sum to the objects of which the convention has charge. The actual attendance of members at the last convention in Halifax was 258. The con- vention appoints the boards and hears their report. These are the board of home mis- siows, headquarters at Yarmouth, Rev. A. Cohoon, secretary: the board of foreign missions, headquarters at St. John, John March, sec’y; the board of governors of Acadia college, beadquarters Wolfville, Rev. T. A. Higgins, secretary. These three subjects occupy the principal time of the convention, though other collateral subjects come in for consideration. <<? Butler’s Letter. Commenting on Butler’s letter, the Mon- treal Herald says : ‘‘General Butler appears to be somewhat weak in geography. In his address as a Presidential candidate, in arguing against the construction of the Panama Canal, he says :—‘Intime of war, with the Panama Canal open, England seizes it by her im- mense navy, and from thence can ravage and blockade our whole Pacilic Coast. This she cannot do now, because she owns no coaling station nearer than the Sandwich Islands, from which it would be quite im- possible to supply a blockading fleet.’ General Butler seems to think that Eog- land owns the Sandwich Islands, which is a singular error for a Presidential candi- date to fall into, in view of the Reciprocity Treaty between the United States and those Islands. The General also forgets that in Vancouver's Island Britain has not only coaling stations but coal mines close to the Pacific Coast of the l nited States.” -——- Cattle for Canada. Says the Canadian Gazette (London, Ang. 7,) :—‘*The Hon. D, A. Smith, has just bought and forwarded to Canada, by the steamer Corean, under the charge of an experienced caretaker, a Highland bull and six heifers, which will be placed on Mr. Smith’s Farm, at Silver He'ghts, Manitoba. The object is to test by actual experience whether this breed of cattle can be advan- tageously crossed with those already in the Dominion. The bull took a first prize in the Highland Agricultural Show at Edin- burgh, last month, and as this exhibition was the Society’s centennial an exception- ally fine collection of cattle from all parts of the country was got together, and the distinction won was thus of more than ordinary value. In fact, the bull, which is of very distinguished pedigree, is said to be one of the finest of its class ever export ed from this country.’ Cyrrespondence with Queen Victoria by letter is one of the Prime Minister’s regu- lar and almost daily duties. When there has been an important division or debate in Parliament, and members are hastening home tired, to bed, the Premier alone can take no rest until he has written to the (Queen his official report of the proceedings. These letters are couched in the third per- son: ‘‘Mr. Gladstone presents his duty to your Majesty,’ etc, and her Ma- jesty’s replies, usually dictated to a secretary, also run in the | third person. Though never discursive, they are not mere formal acknowledg- ments, but often enter succinctly into the question at issue. The Queen devotes several hours every morning to the study of state business, and her time is no longer wasted now as it was during the first twenty-five years of her reign, by having to sign ajl commissions of the army and navy. In 1862, an Act relieved her of this tedious task. She was in that year still engaged in signing the commissions of the year 1858. An important piece of work has just been in the complete renewal of the loaden envelope of the dome of St. Peter's Church in Rome. It has occupied twelve years, and has cost over 200,000 lire, about $49,- 000. The original covering was applied to the dome in an imperfect fashion, which made continuous repairs a neces- sity; and at last it was determined to strip off the whole envelope and substitute a new one ona better system. New lead was imported from Spain and mixed with the old lead, in the proportion of one part old to two parts new. The total weight of the new cover is given at 354,305 kilo- grams ; and if were spread out flat it would occupy an area of 6,152 square metres, or about an acre and « half.- In stripping off the old plates, three of them were found to be of gilded copper. — It is rumored that King Alfonso’s visit to the baths has not benefitted his lung affection. brought to a successful conclusion in Rome, - oe
