They fully appreciate the advantages of free commercial intercourse.’’ But they contend that the Draft Treaty does not make the intercourse free; for they are still debarred addition and for carrying goods from port to port of the Atlantic coast of the United States. The feeling of a majority of the busi- ness men of these Provinces is expressed by a correspondent of the St. John Tele- graph, as follows :— We have got to sacril several million dollars per year which we ought to have res ceived for our fisheries, and ild extensive canals by which the Americans can compete with us for the trade of the west. It is true we need some of the canals, such as the Wel- land; we also need the Bay Verte, but the people of the United States have no right to our canals. If the question was given to the people of the States to decide, they would be im favor of it, even at a cost to themselves in» stead of to us. The trade of Canada is such that it cannot possibly be bound by a foreign nation. It will find channels for itself some- bow ; theref if we are prevented from sends ing our goo to the States, by duties, we certainly will be able to send greater quanti- ties to other countries. But the goods that re I< we produce are indispensible tothe people of the United States, and whether there is a Reciprocity Treaty or not our exports to that eountry must increase. Though this Treaty may benefit these Provinces, yet the advan- tages son the other side, even if we never expend one dollar to obtain therefore, my Treaty may ountries, it is conclusi is that though t be a mutual benetit to both mot worth the sacrifice made, ind might have been obtained at a much more reasonable price which s highly desirable as there isa deficit already in the revenue, as great pub- yn 2 if} doubtless, be re- | | the institution will be called upon to answer | from | THE EXAMINER | 008% t4k1TAnLe@) INSTITUTIONS, PRINCE 0 —_—___— We trust that the disclosures made by ithe Geand Jury respecting the Lunatic Asyl am and the Poor House, will lead to a speedy and thorough reform of both these (socalled) “Charitable Institu tions.” The Province is in disgrace Let us set about Wiping off the stigma | with the least possible delay.

GENTLEMEN :— I set papers in Canadian and Greek His- tory, Shakspeare and English Literature, and after examining those which were wrought by the students and transmitted to me,I have come to the followiug con- elusions: That the paper in Canadian History was excellently well done— that the Shakspeare papers were very good, the parsing and analysis being wonderfully accurate. Le Page’s paper is first class and nearly as good as possible. In Greek History,Dixon’s paper is the first, though LePages is best in point of style. Easton's is also an excelient paper. Lepage’s paper in English literature is really remarkable for its excellence. The style is wonderfully matured, and his thinking power strikes me as of ahigh order. Stew- art is diligent, so too is Easton, whom 1 take to be a lad of good promise, if as I suppose, he is but young comparatively.

These sightless children, groping in the dark, feeling with the tips of their fingers the raised letters of their books, would put to shame many boys and girls in this Island who are blessed with ‘seeing eyes’ and a ‘priceless system of education,’ Specimens of their writing and handiwork were shown and greatly admired. It is very evident that the Halifax + [ns stitute for the Blind’’ is doing a good work well, Lut it is much tobe regretted that it is not more largely patronized. It bas good, clean wholesome accommodation for fifty pupi's ,—there are only fifteen in at- tendance. However, it has only been es~ tablish d three years ; and there can be no doubt the sphere of its usefulness will ere long,be greatly enlarged. There are on this Island about eighty blind persons,— eight or nine of whom, at least, should be under instruction at the Institute.

This debt I believe is less per head then that of any other colony, and only about 1-6 that of the ad- joining State of New York. Una like the States of the Cuion, the provinces of Canada have no separate debt whatever, while that of most of the States is very large. : : By the construction of canals and the im- provement ofher rivers, Canada has created the finest inland water communication in the world. Ships of 4000 tons can now ascend to Montreal from the ocean, (1,000 miles , and from thence there is now river and inland lake navi- gution of 1,300 miles for vessels of 400 tons. She has erected more than 300 lighthouses along a frontier aud seaboard of nearly 3,000 miles. These are free to the shipping of the world, She has had to construct harbors, deepen rivers and provide other means of floating her immense forest of timber to the seaboard. She has subsized rail- | ways, of which there are upwards of 4 000 miles one instance . inactual operation, and like every other new country, she has had to open roads, build "NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.

The volume of trade has risen from $76,000,- 090 ia 1861 to $240,000,000 in 1873, employing a tounage of nearly 14,000,000. Her exports have increased 56 per cent in six years, while during the last ten years her imports of British manu- ufactures have risen from £4,000,000 to £8,000- 000 sterling. She owns betweea 6,000 and 10,- 000 vessels, having a registred tonnage of over 1,500,900. She employes 90,000 men 1a her fish- eries, the value of which is about £2,000,000 ster- ling a year, for the facilities she has given, for the products of the Western States of the Union | reaching the sea by way of the St. Lawrence, are attacting an export trade throughCanadian channels which already amounts to upwards of $12,750,000 per year, and which will be increas- ed enormously by the improvements in the navi- gation pow in progress. The undeveloped resources of Canada are im- mense, and no Englishman would desire to let them lie fallow. The enterprise and energy of the population having been turning these ele- ments ot wealth and national greatness to rapid account ; hence there isa constant pressure on every Government to undertake fresh works of public improvement, but no Chancellor has yet been wanting in the duty of warning and putting before the country the new burdens which these in the aggregated would entail. The present Fi- nance Minister has done so, and his Budget speech has been regarded only as an injunction to pause and mark time for aseason. The good sense of the community wili in the future, as io the past,afford sufficeat security against their in- curring Obligations beyond their means, or for | others which will bring no adequate return than | objects either in attracting increased trade, or | otherwise’ I think that you will admit that the facts I have stated prove that the record of few coun- tries shows a parallel to the wisdom and pru- dence which Canada has heretofore displayed | in her public undertakings and those qualities | ought to be some guarantee for the future. —— $$ ATLANTIC STEAM LANES. The possibility of lessening the destruc~ tion of life on the At'antic, so far as caused by collisions, has again been brought under prominent notice by Professor Pierce of Harvard University. The points made by him are thus given by the New York Jfrald: First—That steam lanes should be estab- lished, because collisions will be a hundreds fo'd more imminent in the next generation, when ocean trayel will have multiplied very largely , infact, there must be one hundred collisions then where we have one now. Second—It has been suggested that there | should be a district ‘lane’ for every month of the year, laid down with a scru- Third —The meridian of the greatest dan~ ger is fifty degrees west of Greenwich, on | fogs, fishing smacks and stranded icebergs. | This is the vital point and may dispose of | the whole question. #ouurth—That the systems adopted by the German lines and the Cunard line are op- posing in their character, producing con- | fusion and uncertainty. Fifi) that the Cunard line now in force is the best one. Sizth ~That “steam lanes might be com. | pelled by a clause in marine insurance poli- cies. Lastly—Vhat vessels should be compelled | to observe a uniform speed -- say ten knots | and hour - during the continuance of a fog, | ifthe lanes be established. It is reasonably assumed that collisions must increase with the increase of the At- lantic steam marine of the world, unless such steps to countrract them be taken as science and experience may suggest. Un- derwriters ought to aid in promoting a measure in whick commerce and humanity | are so deeply interested. Itmight be even worthy of the co-operation of the great maritime nations. Should the scheme be carried out, it would be attended with in- direct incidental advantages. It would fas cilitate the succoring of disabled vessels, and thus prove instrumental in saving life and property. We trust that the subject of “steam lanes’’ will not be allowed to drop, —St. John 1% legraph. soe + TIONAL THE INTERNA CONGRESS, The British Government has, at last, de- cided to send a representative to the Eu- ropean International Congress, to be held at Brussels. In announcing this decision to the House of Lords, the foreign Secretary Earl of Derby, said that a feeling of uneasis ness, which had been openly expressed, “was not at all unnatural or unfounded, and he was glad of an opportunity to say say something to dispel it. The British Government had deferred its answer to the invitation to participate in the Congress until the latest moment. It had given no particular encouragement to the project, but as all the great European Powers had consented to take a part in a Congress which aimed at the mitigation of suffering, it was feared that an absolute and uncondi- tional refusal would be liable to misrepresen- tation, and the Government have therefore decided to accept the invitation, stipulating that England was not to be required to dis- cussrules of international lawsgoverning the rights of belligerents, or undertake any new engagement in regard to general principles. The scope of the Congress did not include matters relating to maritime warfare. Eng~ land would not send a representative unless she was distinctly assured on these points, and especially on the last. In any case, her representative would not be empowered to consent to the adoption of any new rules. He would simply watch and repo?t the pro~ ceedings, the government reserving full liberty of action.” > +: << +. oe _ Bazaar.—A Bazaar in aid of the Skating Rink will be held in the Rink on Wednes- day next.
