But accepting the telegram as a full and true exposition of the position taken by Lord Granville, we are not to conclude thatthe matter is finally determived. The position of the Secretary of State for the Colonies, was precisely the same with respect to the question of the non- fulfilment of the Terms of Union with British Colamtia. ‘But yet, after the exercise of his ‘friendly offices,” the claim of British Columbia was recognized and the terms fulfilled. Should the same result follow, the ‘friendly offices,” which it will afford Lord Granville *““much satisfaction to exercise,’ in people our behalf will be well pleased. If Lord Granville should ex- ercise his ‘friendly offices,” the fact will, to some extent, justify the Government to the people of Oatario and Quebec in any attempt they may make or ezx- pense they may be at to furnish us with the “continueus communication,” guaranteed by the Terms of Union.

Drinking in Great Britain. Bradstreets sels forth some poimts in connection witb British revenue statistics. It was shown by the Chancellor of the Exchequer while introducing the budget that the revenue derived from spirits showed a persistent decline in comparison with the estimates for the year just tlosed and with the receipts for the pre- ceding year. Within the decade the de- crease in revenue from alcohol has amounted in round numbers to nearly 22,500 000. This decline has been concurrent with an iperease in the venue derived from the comforts of } life. Taken together the facts seem to reflect a change in popular habits. most satisfactory feature of the lately issued revenue returus is the gain in the revenue derived from the post office and telegraph services, the returns from which have exceeded the estimates of the exchequer authorities. ) La 230 Editorial Notes. — Astothe ways and :neaos which the Government will adopt to meet the expe id ture for the current year, the Herald says:—“ We may, we think, rest assured that the Government will act with their accustomed prudence, and that the burdens of the people will not be jucrease | by auy action that they may ke —Tae Revising Officers have now to le all the polling divisions in which th ire more than two hundred voters. there will be a com- ‘oge; but, fortunately, it is easy de Charlottetown into «mall sec- ‘Of VYOUDR pilrposes.

Mr. Thompson moved the first reading of the Senate bill respecting insurance. Carried. In answer to Mr. Cameron’s question, ‘‘Is it the intention of Government during the present session to provide for the extension of the Intercolonial Railway from the Strait of Canso to Sydney or Louisburg,” Hon. Mr. Pope said negotiations are now going on, and he hoped tv be able to make provision. : Several motions for papers passed, in- cluding an order for correspondence be- tween the Marine Department and the Captain of Northern Light relating to the discontinuance of her trips during Feb- ruary. ; Dr. Jenkins complained of the vexatious delays and suggested that the Alert should be tried. Mr. Davies complained that there had not been an honest attempt to secure com- munication. He described the effort P. E. Island made to have the Terms of Union carried out respecting continuous communi- cation and said the record of the Govern- ment had been « record of delay and inac- tion. Mr. Hackett said he thought the North- ern Light’s usefulness was gone.

Mr. McLelan said that great ex- pense had been incurred to keep the Nor- thern Li-ht in the best possible condition.
