Tux Census Returns for 1871, which has only recently been issued by the Govern- ment, is a volume of 500 pages, and con- tains a large amount of statistical informa tion. As this Island and the North-West country were only latterly taken into the Union, statistics in referece to the increase of the population since 1851 are only af forded for four Provinces, viz: Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia: 1851. 1861. 1871. ae 952,004 1,395,091 1,620,851 Quebec......-. 890,261 1,111,566 1,191,516 New Bruns’k.. 193,500 252,047 235, 594 Nova Scotia... 276,854 330, 857 387,809 Totals.... 2,312,919 3,090,571 3,455,761 Turning to the statistics giving the dif- ferent denominations, we get the following, being from 1861 to 1872 :— 1861. 1871. Ce, os chee es 1,372,923 1,492,033 ND. wns wh 0 ais ot 441,021 567,091 Presbyterians........... 72,496 545,005 Church of England...... 4§5,566 494,744 oe ee ee 195,906 239,343 cn icuaddere 29,650 31,935 Congregatioualists....... 17,767 21,841 The Catholics predominate in Quebec and New Brunswick, the Baptists being second in the latter Province. The Metho- dists lead largely in Ontario, atid the Pres- byterians in Nova Scotia, while the Church of England maintains steady figures in all the Provinces. The Methodists have made the largest numerical and percentage in- crease during the decade. The remainder of the population is made up of Pagans, Mahometans, Jews, Greeks, Quakers, Mormons, withont creed, and not given. In 1851 there were no Pagans, Mahometans, or Greeks classified, but 247 Mormons in Ontario and 12 in Quebec, and 106 Jews in Ontario and 243 in Quebec. In 1861 the Pagans, Mahometans and Greeks were still absent, but 74 Mormons were set down to Ontario, 3 to Quebec, 7 to New Brunswick and 27 to Nova Scotia. The Pagans appear to have come in force by 1871, as we find 1,884 credited to On- tario, 2 to Quebec, but New Brunswick and Nova Scotia still happily exempt. Ontario is also credited with 13 Mahometans in 1871. The Quakers number 1,345 in 1871, 26 being set down to New Brunswick and 96 to Nova Scotia. New Brunswick is credited with 48 Jews in 1871, while Nova Scotia has none; but the latter Province makes up this deficieney by the appearance of 16 Greeks opposite it—Greeks being con- sidered more of a novelty in these new countries. Having no creed there are 5,- 575 persons in the Dominion, while 17,055 are ‘‘ not given.” ccentimenntmcttinnpetiiiitiiamcaas: Oo Ally I LO Grit Insults. We have all heard the homely adage : ‘(as the old cock crows the young ones learns ;” and the subtle influence of a lead- ing mind over its inferiors was never more strikingly illustrated than in tho way Grit politicians and the Grit press imitate Mr. McKenzie’s sneering, insulting language regarding P. E. Island. The St. John News furnishes an instance. Says the News :— ‘The fact is the elections furnished the Island people with an opportunity for ex- pressing their dislike for tho tariff in a rourd-about fashion, AND THEY FAILED TO IMPROVE Ir.” In plain English, the people of P. E. Island had an opportunity—but they did not know enough to improve it! ‘We tell the News that the people of Prince Edward Island know hew to improve ai. oppor- tunity as well as any people in North America; and if there was the slightest de- sire on their part to reverse the decision of the 17th of September or to express disap- proval of the Tariff, they would not have failed to improve the opportunity. In the interest of Gritism, a determined effort was made, previous to the election, to raise a scare about the Tariff. But the effort failed; for the people remembered the rule of the Grits, and they thought ‘‘anything is better than that.” Besides, the people saw nothing in the Prince County Book- | niin ea same oY SS agen notin aadeeeal ~omeenanneneedis & an aarey a TS Se nner ltariff to be seared about.

The hue and cry that the price of flour would be raised by the imposition of a duty ow imported flour is growing fainter and faint- er with each passing day. A merchant In- forms us that he has just ordered a supply of Canadian flour from Bosten, a firm ot enter- prising flour dealers in that city having made arrangements with Canadian millers to keep them stocked with Canadian flour in bond. By this arrangement, the same grades of flour, and at same cost prices as the American, can be landed here 50 cents per barrel cheaper than flour manufactured in the United States, as there is no duty on Canadian flour, but there is 50 cents per barrel on American. — Liverpool Times. Monrreat, April 7.—The long-looked for event has at last arrived—the re-opening of Redpath’s sugar refinery. Operations were renewed this morning with three hundred hands. This number wil, however, be con siderably-increased as soon as water is let in the canal, and the factory can ne worked to its fullest capacity. ‘Two thousand hogsheads of raw sugar arrived from Cuba via New} York, for the company during last week, and as much more is expected in a few days. A certain Guelph manufacturer (name may be obtained on application to the writer) says the ‘‘ Herald,” has had advices from Buffalo which offer to lay down iron in Gulph, duty and carriage paid, at $19 per ton—the same price as iron ruled at before the new duty was put on. Now, who is it that pays the duty, the Yankee manufacturer or the Can- adian consumer ? The North Sydney Marine Railway is being prepared for operations. Capt. McKay, with a number of men, are rushing things through, and in a few days the old Lady, with her family, will again be making their usual noise and stir on the harbor.— North Sydaecy Herald. We direct the attention of the public to tiie advertisement, in another column, of the Windsor Furniture Company. The factory is now in full blast, and is turning out some ex- cellent work. Evidently the new tariff is having a depressing effect on this, the largest, industry of the kind in the Lower Provinces. —Hzx. Herald. Guewpu, April 7.—As a result of the Na- tional Policy, the Guelph Lumber Company has received an order for 6,000,000 feet of dressed and undressed lumber, to be delivered at the City of Winnipeg. Hitherto the Prai- rie Province has secured its supply of lumber from the pineries of Minnesota. Messrs. Copp Bros. & Co. are turning outa very large number of various agricultural implements. The business so far this season is more than double that of a year ago, and the total year’s transactions is expected to far exceed those of apy previous year. The Dominion Steamship Company, Mon- treal, have contracted for the construction of two new steamers, 330 feet long, 80 feet beam and of 3,200 tons gross. They will be spar. decked, and built of the best material. The Dundas cotton factory, Hamilton, is running up to its full capacity, and the good news comes to hand that the buildings are likely to be extended to meet the pressing demands for Candian cotton. : Both of the Hamilton glass works are run- ning full gangs of men, and it is expected that the lines of goods they now manufacture will be added to very materially during the present year. The workmen employed in Meakin’s brush factory, Hamilton, have for the past week or two been working over-time. Such a state of matters has not existed for several years. The Galway Mining Company are about to open up their lead mine at the back of Peter- boro’. The marble quarries at Burleigh and j Belmont are also to be opened up. It is proposed to erect a new cotton mill in Hamilton, if suitable arrangements can be made. Quite an addition to the population will take place. Messrs. Gates Bros., organ manufacturers, of Wilmot, N. ©., are making arrangements to manufacture pianos. _ Mr. William Millard, of Liverpool, N. S., is filling orders for home-made plows. The manufacture of silk hats will be begun at Montreal in a short time. A broom factory has been started in Sher- brooke, N. 8. a “Holy” Russia. HOW ‘HOLY’ RUSSIA MASSACRES POLITICAL PRISONERS. The prisoners under arrest in Kief prison resolved some time ago to tunnel under the walls and escape. The scheme was divulged by one of the conspirators. The authorities allowed the prisoners to continue the excava- tion. When the tunnel was completed and the prisoners entered in, one after another, in- tending to come up through the opening be- youd the prison precincts. The soldiers pre- viously posted at the opening shot the escap-| ing prisoners as they came up, when the bulk of the prisoners, territied by the noise of the firing, stopped and remained in the tunnel. The soldiers were sent in from behind and the unfortunate wretches, caught between two fires, were all shot down. The proceeding seemed to give the officials much amusement and the directors of Kieff prison has been praised and decorated for having acted with The Island Blections. from Prinee Edward [sland show that the Local elections result- ed in the election of twenty-five Liberal- Conservative members and five Grit mem bers. The late Government, which was In sympathy with the teform Party of Can- ada, were defeated a few weeks since, and their successors determined to appeal to the country, with the above result. Mr. Davies, the late Premier, and nearly all the members of the old Government were de- feated. While local issues would form an important element in the contest, there can be no doubt but that Dominion questioas, and especially the National Policy, were a leading factor in determining the result, and for this reason the overwhelming sup- port which has been accorded to the Lib- eral Conservative Government is an indica. tion of the approval of the people of Prince Edward Island of the policy of the Domin- ion Government. The elections on Wed- nesday, taken in conjunction with those in September last, show that the people of Prince Edward Island have learned to know to which party the destinies of the country can be best committed. — Montreal Gazette. The final returns <tremmmninsnarcnan Gi? a Gi eeeneeenees The London “Times” Letellicr Matter. on the The Globe this morning contains the fol- lowing special cablegram, dated London, April 9: Tho Letellier affair forms the sub- ject of discussion in the journals here. The ‘Limes in aneditorial on 11th,says it is plain that two questions are raised by this new Canadian difficulty. First, whether the Marquis of Lorne was bound to act upon the advice of his Ministers and remove Lieut. Governor Letellier, and second, whether supposing him not thus bound, he exercised a sound discretion in declining to remove the Quebee Lieutenant-Governor. The first question must be decided by the | Confederation Act; the Marquis of Lorne probably relies upon the words, ‘‘a Licu- tenant Governor shall hold office during the pleasnre of the Governor-General.” We may fairly hold that he read the Ccnstitu- tion aright in thinking that he is net bound to dismiss Lieutenant Governor Letellier ; but has he been discreet in his refusal, though justified in trying to retain him? He will ultimately be under the necessity of accepting the advice of his Ministers, supported by the Canadian Parliament and the country. a The War in Souto America. Lima, March 19, via New York, April 12.—Anterior to the news per cable of the declaration of war by Peru and Bolivia against Chili, is the following: A special envoy of Peru to Chili was received by the Chilian Government, and laid before it the basis on which Peru desired to effect a mediation between the belligerents. Judg- ing from the tone of the Chilian press, the proposal (which is that before entering upon the discussion Chili must evacuate the Bolivian territory now in possession of her forces) will be courteously rejected and Peru be obliged to assume a decided stand. The Peruvians are actively preparing fcr any emergency. Bolivia has issued a de- cree expelling all Chilians from the nation- al territory within ten days. All conmer- cial relations with Chili are declared inter- rupted, and assurances will be given that war will be prosecuted until the oceupied territory is again under the control of the former owners. Troops are being pushed down to the Atacama coast. Chili, mean- time, is continually reinforcing her soldiers in Antofogasta and Caracoles. Fortifica- tions have been erected, and it is said that the two towns are capable of defense. -—B 2° GDP -o 2-—---———- 3 Special Notices. Fresu ORANGES and Marie SvuGar at Brer & Gorr’s.

The House went into commitiee of the whole on a Bill respecting census and stat- istics. Mr. Anglin objected to the clause authorizing the collection of statistics other than those pertaining to the census, saying the House had several times declined to authorize the collection of vital and crim- inal statistics, and it should not be attempt- ed to obtain the authority by a clause in a census bill ; a permanent staff might be ap- pointed under this clause. th Sir John explained that, as the statistics would be much more easily obtained by the census staff, it was thought better to in- clude the authority for it in the Census Bill; hereafter it would be in the control of the House, as nothing could be done for the gathering of the statistics annually without the voting of money for the pur- O3e. The Bill was agreed to. Lieut. Governor Archibald expects to leave for England on Saturday next. It is rumored that he will be knighted by Her Majesty. R. J. Carson has invented a process by which it is impossible to alter checks or bank netes. ‘The opinion of several bank managers is that it is the best process yet invented. He is applying for a patent. The contract for carrying mails from Pictou to Magdalen Islands and Gaspe, has been awarded to Mr. James King, of Pic- tou, owner of the steamer ‘‘Albert.” It is rumored that the Margnis of Lorne and Princess Louise will visit New York in in June. There was a large crowd of emigrants started from this section of the country for Council Bluffs, North-West territory, last a hiigiit. New York, April 15, Ohili has declared war against Pern.
