I have, therefore, at the request of a large number of my friends and pétronus, opened a BRANCH FACTORY AT CARDIGAN BRIDGE, which is conducted by a competent mechanic, who served his time ip 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 :— Amer‘can Hickcry, Oak. Ash, Elm, Bass, Whitewood, ete., etc. The iron will be of the best English retined; aud Norway and Swedish iron will be used for the parts re quiring extra strength and durability. — , Also, in connection with the said branch is a PAINTSHOP, which is conducted bya first-class curriage-painter, who will attend to the painting of new and second-hand work for the public.

"he day before the Mackenzie party secured the Government of C.nada, they assumed to be most disinterested patriots who sought only the good of their country ; the day after, the leading spirits threw off he mask and appeared in the role of pers sistent office seekers.

We refer to the editors of Grit journals; and here are some of them snugly provided for : The Eitor of the Toronto Globe, made a Senator, Thé Editor of the Montreal Herald, made a Senato-, The Editor of 1’ Lvenment, of Quebec, made a Senator, The Editor of the Charlottetown Patriot (Currie) made Collector of Customs, the Editor of the st, John Globe, made a Postmaster, Lhe Editor of the Halifax Kecorder, made a Postmaster, Lhe Proprietor of the Halifax Chronicle made Emigration Agent, in London, vice Jenkins, The Editor of the Brockville Recorder, made a Postmaster.

POSTAG | The aggregate of salaries paid the Grit | politicians’ appointed to office, ontside of the Cabinet, during three years reign—not including ward politicians, stump orators and curb stone bummers,—is in the vicinity of $150,000 per annum; and who can estimate the profits arising to them from | participation in Government contracts and other semi-political speculations ? Verily, Patriotism hath its exceeding great reward, WHAT THEY SAY IN ENGLAND, Some few weeks ago, in concluding a re= view of Lord Dafferin’s speech to the peo« ple of British Coiumbia at Victoria, Van. couver’s Island, we expressed some curi~ osity as to the probable nature of the coms ments of the English press on the subject, feeling assured that the British journals would not approve of the course taken by His Excellency, who perhaps too chivals rously came forwaid to the defence of his sorely beset Ministers, The verdict of the English press has proved to be exactly in accordance with our anticipations. The leading journals of ail shades of political opinion have spoken on the question, and with ah unanimity which js remarkable, have come to the same cons clusion, namely, that Lord Dufferin’s de- fence of his Ministers has failed to relieve them of the charges of bad faith in their dealings with the inhabitants of the Pacific“ Province in relation to the Railway ques. tion. This is the opinion of the Liberal Daily News and Daily Telegraph; the Inde- pendent Liberal M’ali Mall Gazette; the Conservative Standard, and the Tory Saturs ay Review. The only leading journal which remains silent on the ‘subject is the Times. ‘Thus we find the Grit Govern- ment condemned by the journals which contribute most largely to the formation of public opinion in England? one of which newspapers—the Telegraph, which is in political accord with Mr. Mackenzie, and therefore not at all likely to do him any in. justice — uses strong language in condemna. tion of his personal conduct in the matter. That very able journal says: ‘It is idle to ‘ask the citizens of Victoria to believe that ‘‘Mr, Mackenzie had nothing to do with ‘ the repudiation of his proposed com- * promise, in the face of the fact that he has “been at pains to bestow “high favors on ‘s those who were prominent in quashing it.’ Certainly, the entrance of Mr. Blake into the Cabinet following the defeat of the Nanaimo and Esquimault railway Bill in the Senate, the fact that the measure was not introduced at the last session of Par- liament, and the further fact that Mr. Mills, a bitter opponent of the entire scheme of union with British Columbia, has been made a member of the Administra- tion, all go to confirm the charges of bad faith which have been urged against Mr. Mackenzie. We have no wish to judge the Premier harshly in this connection, but we must say that his actions, which ferm the ground of judgement against him, are largely confirmatory of the charges made in this connection, even if they may -not be regarded as conclusive proof on the point. The first Minister is thus placed in a pasition, which isin the highest degree unenviable, and from which he will find es- cape exceedingly difficult. Should he prove to be guilty of what is charged against him, it will, however, be but a repes tition of his course in othermatters, notably the appointments to vacancies in the mili- tary staff. Canada can scarcely submit with patience to be ruled by a government whose head has been guilty of such offences as are charged against Mr. Mackenzie, therefore his attention must be devoted to the task of clearing himself from the im-~ putations cast upon his personal honor, or his expulsion from office will not leng be delayed. In other columns we give lengtby ex- trac’s from the Daily News, Telegrayh and Siancard. These comments will, no doubt, be read with interest, as their importance deserves.— Intelligencer. THE EMPRESS OF INDIA. [From the London Times, | Every mail from India now brings intel - ligence of the preparations which are being made for the proclamation of the Queen on New Year’s day as Empress of India. The title is to be promulgated in a manner and with circumstances which willat once etamp its political significance and satisfy native sentiment. Nothing will be wanting to give reality and splendor to the occasion. Arrangements, we doubt not, are being made to receive the princes and chiefs and other native notables with the highest cis - tinction. They should be the guest of the Viceroy and entertained at the cost of the state while at Delhi. The Ist of January, it bas been announced, is to be kept asa holiday and festival throughout India. The proclamation is to be simultaneougly made in every civil and military station through- out India, and the native and European trouns are to be granted a special allowance as on the Queen's birthday. jf it was a Mogul Emperor or Mahratat Peishwar who was to be proclaimed, large. donat ons would be made te the poor, and on 60 special an occasion we might very profitably follow their example. The money should not be flung away in indiscriminate charity, but be applied to the building of native rest houses and hospitals. Special presents from the Queen should, and no doubt will, be made to the leading native princes and chiefs, symbols of their quasi- feudal relation to the Empress of India and of her protecting power, which would be handed down from father to son as the most reverend of the family heirlooms The opportunity is a great one, and can never return, and must not pass away leav~ ing in their minds only the memory of an unsubstantial pageant. THE EASTERN QUESTION—THE DERBY POLICY LIKELY TO TRIUMPH. It would seem afterall that Lord Derby’s proposals for the settlement of the Eastern Question, at least for the present, are likely to be adopted by all concerned, and carried out under the supervision of the six powers. The territorial integrity of Turkey is, apparently, to be maintained, and guarantees for the better Government of the Turkish Christians secured without the intervention of foreign armies of occu- pation. Should these indications be ful- filled, a great revolution in British public sentiment will follow in regard to the | general course pursued by the Disraeli Go. vernment relative to the Turkish troub'es, and an immense amount of denunciatory ment will be seen to have been needlessly and unprofitably expended ,— News, | eloquence directed against that Govern- | EK PREPAID, IN ER.

TYPE IN 7_~om s A NEWSPAPER, _— The Poughkeepsie Hugie, in an article on the ‘ Mistakes in the Newspapers,’ says the number of type used in a paper the size of the Kagle is 600,000, the actual bits of metal arranged and re-arranged every day in preparing a newspaper the size of the Eagle for the Press, We suppose tew people think of the printing trade as the most exact and particular business, but it is. In making type, variations that might be allowed in the machinery of the finest watch would render the type useless, We read once in awhile of a wonderful piece of cabinet work or mosaic work, containing ten, twenty, or fifty thousand pieces, the maker of which has spedt months or even years of labor in producing it, and people go to see it as a great curiosity; but the most elaborate and carefully fitted piece of work ever made does not compare with what the printer does every day. The man who does the first is looked upon as an artist—a marvel of skill, and if a hundred of pieces are put in wrong side up,or turns ed the wrong way it is not observed in the general effect; but if the printer in fitting ten times as many pieces together in the same day, puts one where another should be, or turns one the wrong way, everybody sees it and is amazed at the ‘stupid cares lessness of the printers.’ ~—_- Jobn Chinaman may be caught stealing, but nothnig short of surgical operation will extract goods from his person and raiment, A San Francisco correspondent of the Chicago Tribune gives @ case in point, A Chinaman entered a cigar store, and while asking hs way toa certain street, slipped a box of cigars up his sleeve. A mirror be- trayed him, and a policemen was called in. “Me honest boy—allee the same-—belly good—no cigallee.” The box was in neither rfght nor left sleeve, nor in either trouser leg. The left elbow suddenly moved; the policeman squeezed the bone; John smiled; no box. ‘he right shoulder was agitated; the policeman made a dash in that direction; another smile; no box. Suddenly the cigar dealer saw something creeping acioss the Chinaman’s back, and clapped his hand upon it; another smile; lo! the cigars! At the police station the officers found two more boxes—one under each a mpit.
