The Twelfth in Cartwright. > At the inspection of the 31th Battalion, on Thursday last, by Col. Drury, Adjutant. General, Major Denison, and staff, No. & Company, Port Perry, received a flattering commendation for their orderly, tidy appear- ance, and clean and perfect condition in which the rifles were kept. The Col said that Corporal Letcber's rifle was one of the cleanest he had ever seen. This must have been satisfactory to both officers and men of this Company, Doubtless much of this desirable condition of things is due to the care and attention of Orderly Sergeant Hazlehurst, who is now promoted to the office of Color.

Should such an event take place, the Licutenant-Governor, it is well known, would without hesitation grant a dissolution and Mr, Joly would come back from a second appeal to the country with stronger following than he now has, while some gentiemen now holding seats, returned by the Liberal vote and voting with Mr Chapleau, would, it is more than likely, bave an unsolicited opportunity afforded them of staying at home. Another conse- quence, and one worthy of not a little con- sideration is, that in the event of a dissolu= ton of the Provincial Legislative Assembly becoming necessary, a dissolution of the Commons would, in all probability, take place for both Houses on the same day would settle the fate of the Ultramontane pro- gramme party in both arenas. Some falter- ors are known to be disposed to join Mr. Joly even now, and Mr. Chapleau's motion is probably only intended to give him an opportunity of having a parting fling at his old adversaries. That he will make a powerful and bitter speech there can be no doubt, but that ty so doing lie will bring down upon himself some unpleasant re. joinders is equally certain," even a We wonder if our eastern Grit speakg from ipspiration when he threatens the Quebec Opposition that if they again defeat he Joly party that the mighty Letellier will dissolve the parliament and the little less powerful and no less scrupulous Mackenzie will dissolve theCommons so that the entire Grit force of the Dominion may be brought to bear in securing the return of the Rouge party in Quebec. It may be, however, that the Witness' wish is only father to the thought, or it may be that he is just silly enough to puppose that be can frighten the opposition by his silly threats. Ttis not at all likely, however, that this political fracas will end without something of astirring nature coming out of it ; it will be a wonder if Latellier does not put his foot deep into it, even deeper than he has yct done: But when the opposition regains the treasury benches they will be asilly pack it they do not demand the immediate dismissal of a Lieu- Governor who appears to be supremely iguor- ant of the very first principles of & responsible G , the position of Lieu-G not in his line.

The unfortunate judges at the late Musical Tournament, held in Montreal, have got into a hornet's nest. Everybody appears to be dissatisfied with the award, The Montreal City Band, which is also the Band of the Victoria Rifles, carried off the first and best The binds were dissatisfied, took the pet, and would not accept of the prizes, amounting, in all, to $1,200, other competing smaller prizes awarded them, and a regular musical rumpus has been the result, This is how Musical Doctor, Si G. B. Crozier, one of the judges, lets himself down. In a letter to the Mail he says :-- « With reference to the Jubilee contest of bands in Montreal, will: you kindly give me space to say, first, that I did uot agree to the award of the judges, or sign any of the secondly, 1 objected point blank, and in express terms, to the decisions rendered ; award by which the prize was assigned to the band which appeared in the morning as the City Band, and in the evening as the band of the Victoria Rifles. I did not con. sider that they had any right to appear in the two. fold capacity of a civilian and of a pseudo military band, nor did Tin any case think that they were the best band on tue ground, me on the spot, giving my impressions of the performances of each band--in no single I have retained the notes taken by instance do my recorded impressions agree with the published decision of the judges, It is very unpleasant for me to have to make any remarks which appear to reflect on any members of my profession, but I owe it no lees to my profession than to my- self to " speak out" when challenged to do so by the leading papers of the Dominion, As to pecuniary matters, I can only say that I have bad the pleasure (and profit) of de- fraying all my expenses to, in, and from Montreal, I hope some of my fellow. judges were more fortunate. Thanking you for your kindness in allowing me so much of your valuable space, and assuring you that 1 shall be very cautious in accepting the position of judge in band contests." The Montreal Star says: -- The Julilee Committee will hold a meeting this evening at the St Lawrence Hall for the purpose of giving such explanations in regard to the management as may be necessary, We understand that Messrs. Hall, Lavalle and Gagnon agreed exactly in their score, Mr, Conn concurring with them. Mr. Crozier gave the same number of points all round, As 80 much dissatisfaction exists with the awards, the City Band is prepared to again enter into competition with its opponents, and fight the battle over again." A short way of ending the dispute ;-- "The President of tho City Band, Mr, Lapierre, expresses the opinion that his band fairly esrned the prizes they obtained, He has stated that the City Band will play any band in Ontario for $5 000--said contest to take place either in this Province or the United Stateg ; the Ontario bands to have a fair voice in the selection of the judges."
