DRAWBRIDGES. Hon. Mr. Laird had expected that there would have been some alteration from the bill of last year in respect to drawbridges— some compromise between the views of the Houses—but it was not the case. During the recess he had endeavoured to »btain information upon the subject, for he vas prepared to give way if he found that he was wrong, but he had not learned anys thing to induce him to doso. He considers ac. suas the principal of requiring the master owner of a vessel to pay for going through a drawbridge, and also to furnish the men and materials necessary to raise an. lower the same was wrong; and he believed that if those claims were resisted the Government could not eaforce them. | n a treatise on the law of water courses by loseph K. Angell, he found the following: ‘In Great Britain this right of the public to navigate a public navigable river is para- mount to any right of property in the crown, which never had the power to grant a will, so as to obstruct the public navigation.”’ he first right, therefore, was that of the | iblic to the navigation of a river, and the two second that of the Government to build a bridge, and he contended that parties erecting a bridge were bound to open i free of charge to those requiring it. In| Scotia he believed there were no ugh draw. i u Massachusetts, trade and com- } m iraged, and he would read n extract from the consolidated statutes of tiat state ‘‘Every corporation shall provide for each drawbridge of the Company a steady, ind discreet superintendant,experienced in the management of vessels, who shall have all control and direction of the passing of vessels through the draw. ‘* The superintendant shall at all hours of the day and night be ready to open the draw, shall, haying regard to the convenient and secure passage of engines and trains, snd the state of the tide, decide when, and the order in which vessels may pass, allow- ing no unnecessary detention, shall give all necessary advice, and furnish proper facili-« ties for such passing: and shall keep posted up in a convenient place, for the inspection »{ all persons interested, a written copy of his regulations conforming to the provisions of sections seventy-three to eighty ins clusive.”’ [he interests of the Province required that facilities should be given for the free navigation of the rivers but this bill im. } osed a special tax upon owners of vessels, Again, the same law said ‘++ Every commander of a vessel applying to pass through such draw shall give the super- intendant a true report of his vessel's draught of water and shall be goyerned by him as to the priority of right when two or more vessels apply to pass at the same time; he shall, unless otherwise directed by the superintendent, in passir., go to the right, according to the tide, if practicable ; and except as he may be authorized by the superintendent, shall so place his buoys, warpingslines, anchors, or cables as neither to interfere with other vessels nor obstruct the bridge; and he shall be allowed a re- asonable time for his veerel to pass.” A gentleman who had been in the United states with a vessel told him (Mr. Laird) that he had passed through seven draws bridges in one day—that as soon as hs ape proached a bridge it was opened, anc. not a cent wes charged for passing t! ough. In view of these facts he did not feel justified in supporting the pro "s of the bill. Hon. Mr. Strong coulc not agree with his honor’s reasoning in any respect. If the Government had no right to obstruct the navigation of ariver, how was it that such a numerously signed petition, backed by a subscription list of $11,000, for a bridge across the North River, was coming in! Was it not considered that such a bridge would benefit commerce? A groat many people took different views from his honor who had just spoken. He had neglected te tell the House that the drawbridges in other countries to which he had referred we v wil bridges. They generally belong- ei to rich corporations which could well afe ord to attend the draws. We were in en- tirely different circumstances. He (Mr. .) uad no experience in the matter, but he was aware that shipowners approved ot the measure, and considered that it was for the public interest. He supposed our bridges were not constructed upon the most approved principle—that it would re« quire men and materials to open them— and if they were to be made free the ex. pense to the Government would be very considerable A vessel generally had a crew of at least turee or four men, and if they would assist in opening and closing the draw, there would be no difculty. He did not see that there was anytuing radic. ally wrong in the matter, for if those who passed through those bridges for their own | venetit did not bear the expense it would | ‘ funds, If} > were encot » right to builda ridge ong @ river it was a wonder so many of his honor’s friends were asking the Government to break the law. lion. Mr. Baldereton said his constituents were not asking the Government to break the law. They were asking fora secondary right. They wanted to have a bridge so nstructed that the river would be naviy gable still, Ho believed the public had a right to the free navigation of the rivers. In au act to incorporate a company to build a bridge across the St. Lawrence, he found the foilowing : ‘« Provided always, that in the construc. tion of the said bridge, the said company shall not cause any ol struction in, orin any | way impede the free navigation of the River | St. Lawrence.’’ It was his opinion that if a vessel were to break one of those bridges the Government could not recover damages. ton. Mr. Munn believed the Government | had aright to build bridges across navi- | gable rivers providing they constructed proper draws, but they had no right to charge forfpassing through those draws. Hon. Mr. Strong said the navigation would be obstructed even by a drawbridge, | and if it was contrary to law to build a | bridge across a river, it wasalso contrary to} law to build one with a draw. [He did not think their honors had arrived at the whole truth in the matter, Hon. Mr. Dodd said a bridge, as well as draw in a bridge, was for the accommoda- tion of the people, and there™re, he could | not see that the law was broken by the cons struction of such a bridge; neither could be eee that it was wrong to charge a smal! fee for passing through a drawbridge, but Government had voluntarily assumed isn’t | | could no | would, } _ liberty to impede the navigation of a river. | condition of the prisoners confined in said } and instruction, for the young; suitable | strangled to the ground. The rest of the | them-—shown in excluding British Colum- | Washington, in the tax put upon lobster | cans, thereby practically putting a duty | admitted free, in the recent exclusion of att: 0 Silene. it was wrong to require a man to work and pay also. Ile thought a shipmaster wilful- | ‘y breaking a bridge would be liable to an j action at law for damages. Hon. Mr. Bolger hoped the bill would not | ma thesame fate as a similar bill did last year. It had been passed by men in the | louse of Assembly who were experienced | in those matters. He was of opinion that | it was quite right to charge a small fee for passing through those bridges. Hon. Mr, Strong would again remind the committee that if the Government had men to take vessels through those bridges the cost would be very considerable. Ex« perienced men had told him that as trading vessels generally had three or four men each, it would be very little inconvenience for them to render the assistance required. flon. Mr. Laird said if they had toll bridges in the United States, vessels were allowed to pass through them free, but here the Government were proposing to take those who hada prior right, and let these who had only a secondary right go free. It was true that the charge was trifling, but the principle was what he was opposed to, The Government would also be held harmless in case the draws were outof repair. The producers of produce ibove those bridges would have to bear all he burden, It was very well to talk of the expense, but there were proper means of raising a revenue without imposing a special tax upon shipowners, and that to cover the neglect of the Government. The responsible position, and it was the duty of the Opposition to endeavor to prevent any bill from going into eperation which would amount to a premium upon the neglect of the public works of the Province. Hon. Mr. Balderston said that if draw- bridges were as well constructed here as they are in the other Provinces, where one man could open them, the bill would not be so objectionable. His honor the Leader of the Government said that they had not produced the whole law of the matter, and it therefore became him to show wherein they had failed. Till he would show that the law was different he would maintain that the bill was unjust. Hon. Mr. Strong said the quotations made were so much at variance with the common practice that he inferred they ‘a all the law of the case. It ips, be a question for legal minds hcwv far the Government were at The river Thames was spanned by many bridges, and they were not drawbridges. Small steamers had their funnels upon hinges,and had to lower them to pass under. Vessels with tall masts would not pass at all. He therefore censidered that there must be some other law than the cast iron one referred to. Those drawbridges were in the interest of the people, and if the draws were not kept in order the Ciovern- ment should be held responsible. Progress was reported and the House ad- journed. SatcrDay, April Ist. JAIL— QUEEN'S COUNTY, Hon. Mr. Laird, according to notice, presented the following resolution :— Whereas. 1t appears by a return from the Sheriff on the state of Queen’s County Jail now On the table of this House, that the Jail, is both shameful and disgraceful, not only to this Province, but to the whole Dominion ; and !hough the attention of the Government has been repeatedly called io the necessity of improvement in that des» partment,still no steps appear to have been taken in that direction Therefore Resolved, That the neglect ot the Government in not providing safe keep ing and suitable employment for the able ied; proper companions, employment accomodation and care for, and attention to the insane, is highly reprehensible, and has justly incurred the censure of this House. On moving for the adoption of this res solution, Mr. Laird said that notwithstand. ing the crimes which necessiated the cone finement of certain persons, the Govern- ment had a duty to discharge towards them When they were compelled to take minors from the custody ef their parents or proper guardians, if they had any, the Government assumed the duties and responsibilities of the parents; and no matter what expense was incurred the State should provide prov per companions and employment for those persons. Employment was necessary for their reformation,- for “ Satan finds some mischief still for idle hands to do.’’ When the Governmdnt did not provide employ- ment or instruction for those criminals, they were acting not only in a disgracefut, but in a criminal manner ; and the report upon the table showed that boys of nine years and upwards were confined without any employment or instruction. There was no sane person, of ordinary powers of mind but was susceptible of improvement during his minority, and if those persons had res ceived bad training upon the streets or Otherwise, it was the duty of the Govern< ment,when they were contined,to endeavor to counteract those injurivus effects; but when lads of ten years were confined in the same cell with criminals {from the lowest class of humanity, without employment or instruction, what could be expected from them? [f the Government were so negligent it was the duty of this House to endeavor to bring the matter before the proper authorities; for though they might hold themselves above all authority in this Province, yet there were ways of bringing the matter before tribunals which would bring them to a proper sense of their duty. The Chinese Government is in trouble again and tinds its subjects revolting all over the fece of the country. Two great insurrec have broken out, one in the Province .. Kivor-Ying, where the rebels are having their own way, taking and hold- ing cities, levying contributions, and mak- ing things hot for those individuals who do not fall in with their views. Strong bodies of imperial troops were sent out to put down the insurrection, but the Pekin Government learnt with dismay that, on coming face to face with the enemy, the troops deserted en masse, Officers and privates alike choogs ing to revolt. The other insurrection is in ShansSee, and the Viceroy of Kiang-su is at his wits’ end to know how to pluck the flower safety from the nettle danger. The troops at his disposal have no arms worth using and have not been paid for some months. He is afraid of sending them ins to the field lest they too should desert, and the only expedient he can think of is raise ing a loan of 10,000,000 taels, giving as se. curity the customs collections at the ports on the Yang-tsesxyang. An attempt has lately been made, says the Pall Mall Gazette, by the footpads of Smyrna to improve on the garrote system of robbery by the introduction of the lasse. A preliminary trial of this contrivance was made tho other -~*ning, a German gentle- man connected with the Smyrna and Cas, saba Railway, being selected as the subject of the experiment. Approaching the ictim: noiselessly from behind, one of the thieves suddenly threw a running noose round his neck, tightened it with wonder- ful dexterity until he was brought half gang then stepped forward and relieved him of a leather bag he carried at his side, They then with much good feeling loosened the noose and restored him to liberty, Unfortunately the bag only contained two cigars—of doubtful quality. In the mean time, as the thieves of that city are, from their skill and audacity, held in no slight veneration throughout the empire, the universal adoption of the lasso by the crim- inal classes of Turkey is probably a mere question of time. TREATING THEM PropeRLy.—We are not astonished that the Dominion Government should have withdrawn the permissiou hitherto granted to American steamers of carrying cargoes and passengers between port and port in Canada. The rigid inter- pretations which our neighbors put upon such treaty obligations as bear against from the benefits of bia the Treaty of upon an article which by treaty ought to be Canadian vessels from their canals, and in } the matter of the fishery commission - all | point to a systematic policy of sharp prac- | tice. While we are far from recommending | that Canada should be mean because the | United States is so, thera is no cause for _us to be more than just in our dealings with | them. If they are strict in their interpretay tion of the Treaty of Washington we should | be strict too. They abrogated the recipro- city treaty with this country; let us there- | fore frame our tariff for the future in such ‘life upen which they are both CLERKS OR MECHANICS. We have ever, so far as we have been given the opportunity, speken plainly upon the necessity of the education of young men in the trades, Looked at from every sensible, wholesome, but mayhap unfashion~ able point of vision, the young master of a trade has every advantage, the young clerk ‘almost every disadyantage, in the battle of entering. At the same age with the same educations: advantages the one elects, is compelled by parents or inexorable necessity, to enter some one of the mechanical pursuits, the other indulges his indolence by taking a clerkship. At twenty-one the mechanic can earn from $600 to $1,200 per annum; the clerk if he is smart, active and well dressed can make from $100 to $500 per annum, In other words it requires at least four times as much outlay for the latter to earn a pittanc as it does the other to assure a competence, One reason for this is that there aro hundreds of applicants for clerkships (which the world dignifies | under the title of respectable employment) in dry goods or notion houses, to the few who trust to muscle and industry for their independence, There are other facts that should enter into this reckoning. There is always a de- mand for mechanics, If trade in a specific line grows dull, he can commence, with assurance of skill, in another place, If he can get no work in his own branch, his strength and general knowledge fit him for other varities of needed labor. The trades as mentioned above are more remunerative and will more surely permit, with equal prudence,the acquisition of property,and a start in business, The clerk on the eontra- ry (it should be understood that this article does not refer to those who have a decided aptitude for mercantile life, but rather to the army of salaried dependents, who never can hope to be described otherwise), begins life with a species of avoidance of r esponsi- bilities, shrinks,from indolence, in the first place,and then from species of compulsion thereafter; are self-doomed to a hopeless life of crudgery by which to maintain a respectilility which mocks them with weari- some deraands ; and finally go to premature graves without having ever enjoyed asingle really joyful emotion of hearty indepen» dence in all their dismal years of toil. There may be some who will say the picture is too full, to shadow in its treatment of salaried employees. In fact it would not surprise us to find the very class spoken of questioning the justice of the reality depict- ed. The unreality of such a life (the mockery of callin, -uch a life existence) causes a distortion of sentiment in those who are the victims, and we can only hope that these simple words may exert a slight influence on those who may not yet have entered into such drudgery. MISCELLANEOUS. A lot of prairie hens, wild turkeys and wild geese are to be sent from Iowa to New Zealaud for breeding purposes. Glasgow claims to be the second city in the British Isles. Jt has a population of 547,598, against the 473,405 of Liverpool. The accommodation offered by hotels and boarding houses at Philadelphia is calculat- ed to receive 98,000 guests, and private houses will increase it by another 20,000. Arumor comes fromthe Punjaub thata certain Maharaja there has been murdering his kinsfolk, and that certain ladies connect- ed with his family have appealed to the Govs ernment of India for protection. Mr. Thomas Carlyle is said to have made the following remark within the hearing of Mr. Conway: ‘ America is a great country, but no system can last which would give Jesus and Judas precisely the same vote on public affairs.’ A staff of divers, under the direction of an experienced submarine diver, Mr. Ridyard, of Birkenhead has arrived at Scilly to attempt to recover the remainder of the £80,000 of specie whick went down in the Schiller i=s: May, £57,000 were recovered last year, A child who, according to her father, had been well educated, was not allowed to be sworn on an assault case which came before the Wandsworth riagistrate, because she did not understand th nature of an oath and had never heard of the Bible, nor had ever said prayers. During the year of 1875, 17,655 immigrants were settled in the Province of Ontario. Their nationalities are as follows :—Englsh, 10,533 ; Scotch, 1,724 ; Irish, 1,621 ; German, 771; other countries, 3,006; total, 17,655. The doublesturret ship ‘ Inflexible” has been successfully launched at Portsmouth. The ceremony of christening was performed by Princess Louise. The “ Times’’ says the ‘« Inflexible” is the most tremendous instru, ment of offensive or defensive warfare yet created. The London “ Examiner” is indignant at the barrenness of the Prince of Wale’s visit to India, and says that the intelligent natives of Bengal were never brought into contact with him. Ifthe native Princes. who gave him such regal receptions, are not invited to England in their turn, the “‘ Examiner’ pre, dicts great evil. Tue Propaiztors or ENGLanp.—Jobn Bright declared that England was owned by 30,000 persons, which statement was savagely assail- ed as untrue. He, of course, meant thegreat bulk ofthe land, and did not include the holders of town lots and garden patches. It turns out from an inspection of the new Doomsday Book he was not far from right. The total acreage of England and Wales, exclusive of the Metropolis, and exclusive of common and waste lands, appear by the re- turns to be 33,013,510. In England and Wales (ommitting London) 3,874 owners hold 9,367,133 acres ; 10,207 owners hold 22,- 013,208 acres : 42,524 owners hold 28,840,550 acres; 930,322 remaining owners, viz.: those ofone acre and under 100 acres, hold the remainder ofthe area, 4,172,960. In Scot- land 24 owners hold 4,931,883 acres; 68 owners hold 7,957,494 acres; 320 owners hold 13,169,030 acres ; 580 owners hold 14,- 898,836 acres ; 1,468 owners hold 16,734,469 acres; 1,759 owners hold 17,576,550 acres; 130,471 owners hold the remainder, viz.: 1,- 371,144 acres. Th° iurn for Ireland has not yet been pubisned. Thus it appears that 10,000 owners hold more than two- thirds of the whole of England. The next 29,000 own all but about 5,000,000 acres so that Mr. Bright was, after all, not far from correct when he said that nearly all Eng-~ land was the property of a handful of land monopolists.

I have, therefore, at the request of a large number of my friends and patrons, opened a BRANCH FACTORY AT CARDIGAN BRIDGE, which ts conducted by a competent mechanic, who served his time in the ‘‘ Nonpareil,” and has since worked for several years in the United States—a mechanic who knows his business, and has such an interest in the work as to allow nothing but a faithful job to pass. He and several competent workmen will attend to the wants of the public in that County. The stock used in the construction of the work will be of the best imported, viz :— American Hickory, Oak, Ask, Elm, Bass, Whitewood, etc., etc. The iron will be of the best English refined; and Norway and Swedish iron will be used for the parts re quiring extra strength and durability. Also, in connection with the gaid branch is a PAINTSHOP, which is conducted by a first-class carriage-painter, who will attend to the painting of new and second-hand work for the public.
