Capt. Palliser, in this letter, refers to the visit of the Canadian Ministers, and remarks that ‘apart from the magnificent project of peopling with our leyal English the rich portions of territory through which this line must run in its course to the west, the railroad is looked upon by officers of long experience as one ef great importance to the strategic wants ef the empire.’ Captaim Palliser dilates upon the importance te the Empire of for- tifying Esquimalt, aud maintaining com- munication through Canada, thence to Quebec ; and adds : tatien, therefore, on the duties charged on our goods by the Canadians should lead us to ignere the enormous cost to them and the great advantage to us of their railway now in hand to our gate of the Pacific Ocean. Four millions drawn at sight was not con- sidered too much by the people ef England te pay for their shares in the Suez Canal ; let us hope that the time will soon come when not only England but Austria also will recognize and act upon the necessity of the completion of this great western high- way of the British Empire.” . <a + -** No feeling of irrita- THE excursion to-day to the tea party at Souris—to which we several times directed attention—preved a grand success.

Dean Srr,—In your columns of yesterday, | see that Dr. Leeming has been somewhat blamed, for the fearless boldness of some ol his fearless denunciations of the tyranny of the English Government. If you were to assist at some of the debates 1m the english House of Commons, you would hear Enghish- men of unquestioned loyalty, and especially members of the Opposition, thundering against the oppressive policy of the Govern- ment, in fay more unmeasurel lines than those made use of by the distinguished orator, Nor is it a mark of disloyalty, to hold up to universal scorn the brutal words spoken by the Duke of Cambridge, at the time of the trish famime. ‘‘I am told,” said he, ‘‘ that the case in Ireland is not so bad after all. 1 understand that retten potatoes, mixed with seaweed, or even grass, atford a very whole- some and nutritious food. We know that an Irishman can live upon anything, and there's plenty of grass, if the potato crop should fail.” It is no sin against loyalty to denounce such brutal language. Suppose there were a famine in Scotland, and the people were dying by thousands, what would the Scotch residents of this Island think of the man who would rise up in British Parliament and say, ‘LT understand there are plenty of thistles in Scotland, and these, when properly stewed, will make wholesome dish.” Sucha wretch would deserve to he crea- tion. The remarks made by Dr. Leeming, in his grand oration, were aimed against Injus- tice, Cruelty and Inhumanity. Yours truly, a very hissed off Fagr Pay. «+ a> The Gospel According to Timothy. To the Editor of the Keramii Cr. Sar.—‘' Timothy” is ont with an epistle to clergymen. He cannot give utterance to his unbounded delight at De. Leeming’s oratory without exhibiting his spleen. I am sorry to see that there is a difference of opinion as to the merits of the recent lecture. If reports be true, the Rev. gentleman said some things that would never be said by an orator. This pleased ‘Timothy's’ taste. Hence the burning words of warning to the Charlotte- town ranters. Perhaps, did ‘* Timothy ” ceduce into daily life the advice given-him, even by ranters, he would not be the torion udlicun he is. The word notor1ous pioyliedi le i ‘‘ranter” comes with an ill gracefrom that quarter. I have heard him on an occasion when calmness and moderation were re- quired, and I could not help comparing his windy spouting to the fiery ravings of a rank Communist. Let me assure him that vulgar At vrHE Stipediary Magistrate's Court, | this forenoon, Joseph Valley was fined 510| er 20 days, for assaulting a countryman, and James ‘‘oodman for the same offence was fined five dollars or 10 days. Two com- mon drunks were also disposed of by the Magistrate. Tus Previncial Rifle Association shooting eemmenced this morning at Kensington Rifle Range with a good attendance of marksmen. The tirst match was at 200 yards, ten shots. Sergeant R. V. Longworth succeeded in making a score of 46 out of a possible 50, while Private J. Crockett scored 42 and Pri- vate Pickard, 40. Ir is significant of the popularity of Prince ef Wales College and Normal School that the candidates who applied yesterday for admis- sion numbere:! one hundred and eighty-seven. Of these nearly a hundred failed in the exam- ination in arithmetic, and consequently can- uot enter. Dr. LeemiNe To Lecrure Acain—As will be seen by our advertizing columns, the Rev.
