A statement shows that 7,700 tons of raw and refined sugar, and 3,000 tons coal were sent by rail to and from the Moncton Refinery, and 1,500 tons of refined sugar were sent from tae Halifax Refinery, while nearly 15,000 tons of raw sugars were carried over the Intercolovial from Halifax and St. Jehn to Montreal. a _-_e em «+ ne The First Breeze. The first breeze of the session blew out ef Sir John’s explanation. In commenting upon it, Mr. Biake referred sarcastically to the close relations now existing between Sir Charles Tupper and Hon. Mr. MeLelan, as contrasted with their hostility to each other in ante-Confederation days. Sir Richard Cartwright followed with a quota tion from an old speech of Mr. McLelan’s, in which he charged Sir Charles with cor- ruption in connection with the Picton Railway. Sir Charles did not long delay his crushing retort. Failing to find in the policy and administration of the Govern- ment a point of attack, he said the Opposi- tion were compelled to fall back upon issues sixteen years old. But he challenged them to bring forward their charges. It should not, he submitted, be forgotten that of the dozen or more Nova Scotia leaders whe confronted him on entering pub- lic life twenty-five years age, every one who had died, died his political and personal friend, and every one who survived was personally supporting him to-day. It should also be remembered that he had en- joyed the distinguished honor of represent- ing uninterraptedly for twenty-seven years one of the mos intelligent, enlighten- ed and wealthy countries in the whole Dominion—the country in which he was best known! This was a line of defence which the Liberal leaders had not bargained for ; and when Sir Charles carried the war into Africa, and called te mind their in- consistancy with respect to Mr. Cauchon, they were completely foiled. —> <- DP -o oo The Coal Interest. The Halifax ‘“‘Herald’s” Ottawa corres- pondent reports that last year was probably the most successful for coal mining in the history of Cape Breton. The total quantity shipped last year from Sydney harbor was 258,961 tons—an increase of 130,900 tons over 1878, of which 146,122 tons were shipped to Quebec, Montreal and points west. This was an increase of no less than 118,014 tons over the quantity shipped to the same ports in 1878. The correspondent states, moreover, that the demand for the current year will be unprecedented, and all Nova Scotia and Cape Breton collieries will be worked to their fullost capacity. Over 300,000 tons are required for Mon- treal; 30,000 tons are wanted for the Canada Pacific, delivered at Kingston and Brockville : and 80,000 tons for the Grand Trunk, 30,000 tons of which are to be delivered at Brockville. Over 100,000 tons of Cape Breton coal have already been contracted for in Montreal and points west as faras Ottawa, and many orders haye been declined because it would be impossible to fill them. This is in addition to orders at the Cumberland Pictou mines. The Herald’s correspondent has had an interview with Mr. Gunn, the Opposition member for Kingston, who it will be re- membered, defeated Sir John Macdonald at the last election. In connection with others, Mr. Gunn_is opening up a large mining area adjoining the old Sydney mines. It is a property of ten square miles, estimated to contain 90,000,000 tons of coal, and the capital of the company is to be $500,000, of which $400,000 is to be spent in equipping the mine, building rail- road to point of shipment, wharves, etc. The present owners of the property ask $25,000 cash and $75,000 paid up stock. It is estimated that a minimum of 1,000,000 tons per annum can be mined . et hk Civic. A FULL meeting of the City Council was held yesterday forenoon, for the purpose of appointing a Finance Committee, instruct- ing the Assessors, and receiving a report from the Union Bank. The report of the Union Bank was deliy- ered verbally by the Mayor, to the effect that the Cashier of the Bank informed him that he would cash no further checks of the city, but would buy from the Corporation $20,000 worth of debentures at six per cent., in order to assist in paying off the debt of the city.

To remedy this matter, a meeting of Council is called for next Monday night. NR + + Ge - Trade of the Dominion by,.Provinces From the Moncton Times. The statement of the imports and exports of the Dominion by Provinces, as given in the Trade and Navigation returns, is very encouraging, showing as it does a gratify- ing increase in all the Provinces. The pro gress in New Brunswick is especially marked, which is an indication that the Province is recovering from the adverse influences which had been at work in it, retarding the return of prosperity for some time after the other Provinces had expe- rienced relief. We have compiled the sta- tistics for the different Provinces as below, for the convenience of our readers : ONTARIO, Entered for Exports, consumption ei $28,063,980 $26,204, 940 Fy RABI a 30,014,478 33, 167,327 Inc. 1881..$ 1,950,498 Increase in exports, 7 per cent, Increase in entered fer consumpiion, 27 per cent. $ 6,962,387 QUEBEC, Pina cus ce $41,449, 209 $31,550,073 Reees ev tasks 48, 965, 087 39,788,496 Inc. 1881. . $3,515,878 Increase in exports, 8} per cert Increase in entered for consumption, 26 per cent. $ 8,238,423 NOVA SCOTIA. ae $ 7.543,684 $ 6,138,938 Bee kc nedne 8,245,737 7,052,197 Inc. 1881..$ 702,054 $ $13,269 Increase in exports, 94 per cent. cent.

(From the Montreal Gazette. ) The revenue of the Dominion in the last fiscal year was the largest ever obtained, amounting to $29,635,297, an increase over that of the previous year of $6,327,891, the greatest revenue previously collected being $24,648,715 in 18745. The chief items of increase were as follows:—Castoms $4,334,749; excise, $1,110,595; public works, $515,523; post office, $100,000, and casual revenue, $115,436, The sources of revenue which represent, a tax upon the people are these of customs. excise and bi!l stamps, which together yielded $23,942,138 in the past fiscal year, againSt $17,841,938 in 1877-8, and $20,664,- 878 in 1874-5, the last year until the pre- sent in which there was a surplus, Taking the increase of population into account, the rate of Customs taxation per head was in 188] more than that in 1875 by 38c., or 9} per cent., an increase which certainly cannot be considered burdensome. The large surplus of the year, $4,132,743, warrants the Government in making a reduction in the taxation, and to this end about $1,000,000 of taxes, representing the duty upon tea aad coffee, will be abolished, The expenditure in 1881 reached $25,- 502,554, against $24,850,634 in 1880, and In order to show this statement.

THE DAILY EXAMINER, FEBRUARY A Worthy Islander Abroad. | | | AN ADDRESS AND A GOLD WATCH, The preprietor and employes of The Times, of ‘Winnipeg, recently met at the Russell Heuse, of that city, to do honor to Alex. McQueen, the financial manager of the institution ever since its commence- ment-~a native of Orwell, the worthy son of u very worthy father, Mr. Angus Me- Queen—on the eve of his severing his connection with the office to enter upon another occupation. The mode of honoring him was the orthodox one—a banquet avd a gift. After the former had been par- taken of, and the usual loyal and patriotic toasts drank, Geo. H. Ham read, on behalf of the office, the following address : OF Winnipsa, Jan. 28, 1852, Aurx. McQuzgn, Ese., Dear Str,— Hearing with the deepest re- gret of the severance of your connection with the 7'imes newspaper oflice, we cannot permit the oescasion to pass without marking it in some way with an expression of the high esteem and respect in which you are held by ail. During the years you have oveupied the position of business manager of the 7'imes, we have ever found yeu a faithful servant, de voted to the interests of the institution, a genial companion anda staunch friend, Our relations have been mutually of the most pleasant kind ; and although we shall not be so closely connected in the future, the exist- ing kindliness with which we regard you, we feel certain, shall always remain. We trust you will meet with the fullest measure of suc- cess in your new venture, in entering upon which your carry with you the best wiehes of the Tunes. Asa slight token of our appre- ciation of your many good qualities, accept this watch,§which will also be a souvenir of the pleasant days spent amongst us. We remain, yours very sincerely, The Proprietor and Empleyesof the Times At the proper time, John A. Kerr laid before the astonished recipient a valuable stem-winding gold watch, upon which was elegantly engraved the inscription ‘‘A. Me Queen, from the Times, Jan. 28th, 1882.” The gift was procured from the establish- ment of Thompson Bros. & Forrest. When Mr. McQueen had partly recoy- ered from his bewilderment, he briefly re- turned thanks for the gift—but so unex- pected a surprise was it, he told them, he could not find expression of his feelings at the kindness and honor which they had done him. The evening, we are told by the Times, was very pleasantly spent till midnight, in displaying the musical and oratorical ability of the staff—all wishing Mr. McQueen every suecesa, and expressing the deepest regret at the severance of connection with the office in which he had by his many good qualities of head and heart earned their highest esteem and respect. his ~ 0 oe --- The Arabian [nsurrection. A LEADER CHOSEN UP. -—THE REPORTED. AND ARMS To BE AFFAIR MORE TAKEN SERIOUS THAN The Paris Gaulois contains a very detail- ed account of the insurrection in Arabia, which it declares to be a much more impor- taut affair than people in general suspect, or than the Porte is willing to concede. The originators of the movement are of course the Wahabis, the reformers of the Mohammed world, who on a former ocea- sion, in the 18th century, actually succeed- ed in driving the Turks for atime out of Arabia. It was Mehemet Ali, the cele- brated Viceroy of Egypt, who again brought them under the sway of the Suitan, but ever since that time they have main- tained their ground as a religious, if not a political, sect, and still regard with un- diminished hatred the orthodox Mussul- mans, As loug as they remained tolerably quiet in the district of Nedj, which is their special domain, the rulers at Constantinople could afford to treat their animosity with indifference and disdain; but they are now in a very different position, and appear, if the truth were known, to be causing great anxiety in the Otto- man capital. The great war with Russia obliged the Sultan to denude Arabia of its contingent of troops, and the oppcrtunity thus afforded to the malcontents enabled them to come out from their retreats to the more central parts of the peninsula, and even to make pi oselytes and enter into dangerous intrigues in the holy cities them- selves. Mecca ilself is said to be full of fanatics of the Wahabi persuasion, who are eager and almost ready to throw off the religious yoke of the descendants of Oth- man. Joined to this question of sects is oue of perhaps more serious import. The malcontents are beginning to recognize as their leader a man professing to be a direct lineal descendant of Abbas, the uncle of the prophet, and itis said that the tribes of Beni Thaket and Beni Arish have ac- tually taken up arms in his behalf, and are threatening the garrison at Mecca, while another tribe, the Beni Otta hi, intercept the communications between that city and Medina. Tue market today was fairly at- tended. The following are the prices: Beef (small) per Ib. 6 to 12 cents; do (quarter) 5 to 9 cents; Mutton per Ib. 6 to 10 cents; Lamb per Ib. 5 to 10 cents Veal per lb 3 to 8 cents; Ducks each, 25 to 30 cents; Fowls each 20 to 25 cents; Chickens per psir 39 to 50 cents; Butter (fresh) 20 to 25 \ UBSORIBE for the DAILY Qyups i ' Pablished ia V.
