THE INDIGNATION MEETING AT LITTLE YORK. Tus meeting at Little York was well at. tended. The wealthy yeomen present were singularly unanimous in condemnation of the ‘ill-considered’ Acts of the Govern, ment. Even Mr. Kenneth Henderson ad- mitted that the Government had acted bastily and in a manner which should call forth the united protest of the people. The only difference of opinion appeared to be as to the propriety of calling upon Mr. Davies and his friends to deliver up their portfolios and to dissolve the Legislature, or to give them a chance to reconsider and amend their Acts in accordance with pubs lio requirements. The meeting was organized. by appointing Abraham Gill, Esq., Chairman, and Mr. | Joseph D. Seaman Secretary. The first resolution was moved by Robert Lawson, Esq., and seconded by Mr. Peter Stewart, Jr., as follows:— Whereas The party at present in power, have needlessly increased the numbers and salurieg of officials, and have otherwise reck- lessly squandered the peopie’s money; an1 Whereas, The Government have grievous- ly and unjustly taxed the farming popula tion and not the ship-builder and owner, or citizens and townspeople, to keep up and supporkthe system of wasteful expenditure, and Whereas, The numerous condemnatory résclutions pessed in different parts of the country, bave little or no effect upon an in- consistent and unfeeling Covernment; Therefore Resolved, That this meeting set an exatpple to other settlements, by petition- ing His Honor tbe Lieutenant Governer to dissolve the present Houses of Assembly, and send back our mis-representatives to the people at the poles—there to give an ac- couut of their stewardahip. Ap animated discussion followed. Robt, Lawson, Eaq., in his remarks, compared the Government to a ship, of which Mr. Davies was captain, and of which the crew had been strengthened by the appointment of many additional office-holders,—setting sail with a favering breeze and brilliant prospects—caught in a storm—creaking in every \Uimber--and aboutto be shattered upon the rock of public opinion. Messrs. D. Fer- guson and Kenueth Henderson were, how- ever, the principal speakers. The former exerted nis eloquence, and has great ability’ in debate with telling effect. The latter was cunning and slippery. He would fain have defended the Government; but after the manner of Bilaam of old, he condemn- ed them altogether; and his dolorous appeal on their bebalf for mercy and ‘‘ more time” alternately provoked the cold < — _— THE CANADA LIFE. We are always glad. to’ find“an opportu- nity of conversing with our readers on the subject of successful Canadian enterprises. To attempt any praise of the institution needless as “To gild refined gold, to paint the lily, ‘To throw a perfume on the violet.” The Canada Life has been one of the most successful institutions ever estab» lished in this country, ranking beside our best chartered banks in stability; and its long career of usefulness is attested to-day by thousands of families who sre in com- fortable circumstances owing to the foies sight of their founders and the prudential and successful management of the “Sav~« ings Bank” in which they are invested. Tbe eminent authority whose report ap- pears in the Company's advertisement on our last page has testified that, even on the basis of the new reserve of 44 per cent. adopted by the Government last session. the Canada Life is already not only in a position tomake the required reduction, but with a reserve of $99000 over and above the amount thereby involved; and, moreover, that its assets are so invested as to make it perfectly safe for it to work under the 5 per cent standard for at least ten years to come, the surplus assets under that standard on the 30th April last being no leas than $283,000.— Monetary Times. —ow + EUROPE GROWING COLDER. A Swedish paper publishes an interest- ing article under the heading, ‘\ Why 1s the Climate of Europe Growing Colder ?” The article states that in the Bay of Keme- nok, near Komo, in Greenland, fossil and very characteristic remains of palm and other trees have been discovered lately, which tend to show that, in these parts formerly a rich vegetation must have ex~ isted But the ice period of geologists arrived, and, as a coasequence of the de- creasing temperature, this fine vegetation wys covered with ice and snow. [his sinking in the temperature, which moved in a southerly direction, as can be proved by geological data—that is, the discovery ot fozsil p!ants of certain species—seems to be going on in our day, also. During the last few years the ice has mereased far to ward the south; thus betweengGreenland and the Arctic Sea colossal masses of ice have accumulated. On European coasts navigators now frequeutly find ice in latis tudes where it never existed before dur: ing the summer months, and the cold reigning upon the Scandinavian peninsula this summer results from the masses of ice which are floating in the region where the Galf Stream bends toward our coasts. This is a repetition of the observations made inthe old summer of 1865. The unaccustomed vicinity of these mas-es of ice has rendered the climate of Iceland 80 that corn no longer ripen; there, and the Icelanders. in fear of a coming faming and icy climate, begin to found a new home in North America. EO A New Style in Weddings. —A Vermont couple were mirried in a boat on Lake Champlain the otber day by Rev. Mr. Brooks of Panton. They intended to go to Westport and be married at a friend’s house, but were unable to cross the lake, and were unwilling to go back home un married, The clergyman could not marry them without a license from the pruper town officials, and they took the above method to circumvent the law by getting out of the State limits,—Burlinglon Free Fress. canal Atthe Stipendiary Magistrate’s Court yesterday morning, Wm. Kennedy wa fined $3 and costs, or 14 days, for being drunk and incapable. Daniel Munroe, for the same offence, was fined $2 and and laughter, pity, and contempt of his hearers, Mr. George Vessey thought the resolu.~ tion rather too sweeping, and opposed it on that ground. and Mr. Jonn Leach at- tempted to revive the dead issues of the past—the Railway and Confederation--but failed utterly in shaking the determination of the electors present to pass the resolu tion in its integrity. It passed by an over- whelming majority. And, in fact, those who opposed it did so not because they approved of the measures of the Govern- ment, but because they thought the reso lution. —ag they expressed it—‘‘rather too strong.” The following gentlemen were then apy pointed a committee to carry the resolution into effect, viz: D. Reardon, D. Matheson, R. Lawson, Peter Stewart and George Sea- man. On motion of Mr, D. Brown, seconded by D. Matheson, sr., the following resolu- tion passed almost unanimously; — Resolved, That the thanks of the meeting are due to the K«ditor of the Presbylerian for the manfal manner in which he has defends ek the rights of the people. Owing tothe hurry and tarmoi! of moving our office, we are unable to-day to give a fuil report of this important meeting. The report of thé efficient secretary will, how- ever, be published ir. the course of a day or two. i g Tuerg are now three square-riggers loads ing with produce at the Railway Wharf :— The ship “James Duncan” is loading with Orts for Queerstown by J Duncan & Co.. the barkentine “W. D. Stewart” is loading for Queenstown with potatoes and oats by Hyndman & Foley; the barkentine Vigi- lant’ is louding with oats for Queenstown costs or 8 days. David Arbing. for allow- ing ® nuisance on the street, was fined $1.60 and costs, or 14 days. John Shea, on complaint of Simon D. Fraser, for steals ing @ coat, was remanded days. He (Shea) was a'so sentenced to imprisonment for three weeks with hari labor, for des serting the brig Siena. Tas S.S. ‘* Hadji.”’ Capt. Wilson, which arrived here on Saturday last, brought the marks of a slight collision, which took place by the running into of the steamer by a schooncr in the St. Lawrence River, a few miies below Quebec. The main boom of the schooner penetrated clear through the starbord waist boat of the ‘ Hadji,” then breaking off, and remaining in the boat, where it is still to be seen. Afier the collision, the schooner upset, and as tke nigbt—when the occurrence 1cok place —was stormy and cold, her crew were in great danger, and would, undoubtedly, have been drowned but for the gallantry of the officers and seamen of the steamer. As soon as possible after the collision, Capt. Wm. Munroe, of Pictou, second of- ficer of the ‘‘ Hadji,’’ and Mr. Tobin, boat~ swain, proceeded in a small boat to look after the schoone’rs crew. and after much search succeeded in finding them, either holding to the wreck or swiming in the river,and in putting them aboard the stenmer, where they were suitably provided for, Cpat. Wiison speaks highly of the gallantary of the courageous men who went to the rescue, and it would be fitting that their ski'l and bravery were suitabiy recog nized.— Pictou Standard, - ‘ : +<<f>0- lus Japanese say the first inhabitant of atev. this World Was a woman, oF. .* A et WAR NEWS, Loxvon, Nov, 18, An official Rus sian despatch, dated Ve | | whose name heads this article were ®$/ ran Kaleh, Sunday, 18:h, says: ** The a) The sians carried Kars to day by storm battle preceding the capture commeuced at 8-o'clock jast night, and o’clock this morning.

The Graphic says the following is the substance of a private cable dispatch re- ceived here by prominent banking firms :— * Kars has fallen; Erzeroum will foliow. ‘*Osman Pasha will very soon be cap- tured at Plevna, with his entire army. “The Russians are putting forth extray ordinary efforts so as to finish up the war befor the close of the year.

Nov. 19, The Daily News Veran Kaleh special says Kars was captured by about 15,00 Russians, who climbed steep rocks, ram- parts and walls, and stormed an equal number of desperately fighting Turks in headlong flight over their ditches and pars apets, compelling them to die or surren,s der. The escalede had been originaliy fixed for the 13th, but was postponed ow- ing to bad weather. The principal attack was made on the southern forts. General Lozeroft, who commanded the right wing, consisting of the fortieth division, assaulted Hafie Pasha, «a fort crown- ing steep, rocky heights.

By daylight on Sun~ day morning, Gen. Lasereff's troops made progress so far as the capture of Fort Kara. dahn. The other forts, especially Arab Tobiaon the east, and Takmeh Tobia on th? west, maintained a stubborn resistance until Soclock, when ail garrisons which oould escaps fled towards Erzeroun, but these were subsequently overtaken by dra, goons and Cossacks and brought back pri-~ soners.
