However, nearly a year has elapsed since thcii, End we are now pleased to be able to say that the lady has fully regained her formeiiealth_ and vigour, and that not 3 vestige of the cancer now remains. A critical operation in u_n*_r:ery successfully executed is at once recognized as evidence of skill on the part of theeurgeon, but it is only its ultinmte success on the patient that can secure for him the condence of the puhlic-e condence which Dr. Kincaid, his unfaltering energy and professional skill, has justly earned and richly enjoys.-.Vorwood Register.

Mr Clark belonged to an old U.E. family, which settled in the townshi of Uamden after the _.Ame1'ic.'1n war, preferring, as Joseph Brandt b said, to "sink or swim with the English rather than remain in the United States. Mr Clark, un- 1. like m.-my of the descendants of the U.E. Loy- alisti, was a staunch supporter of constitu- tional principles, a. rm friend and warm ad- mirer of Sir John Macdnnald. Although very ill, and residing some miles in the country, at the election in August last, he insisted in being brought intoitown to record his vote for the last time for his old friend, and those constitutional principles which he valued next to his religion and his God. Mr Clark ha.s been in feeble health for a number of years, so that his death was not unexpected. He con- tinued to go aliont as usual until December last, since whiclrtime he has been confined to his bed, graduallizy wearing away, suffering but little pain, and calmly awaiting his end. As _ stated above, he died on Saturday about three p.m., in his 71.: year, peacefully and hopefully resigning his spirit to God who gave in. \ __ _._.-.... uuvu , , ,,,__ wvuneu uas led to this result.

He referred to the increase in t he Attorney-Generals and Crown La.nd s Departments. He contrasted the Grit in uice and out of oice; and said he would not at present go into the details of the speech. It being six o'clock, the House rose. After recess, a. number of bills passed through Committee, several others were read :1. second time. Mr" Rykert then resumed the debate upon the nancial statement. He defended the Government of the late Sandeld McDonald. and in the course of his remarks expressed his surprise at the circumstance of the Hon. Treasurer considering it worth his while to al- lude in so malicious a. manner to the late Gov- ernment. He maintained that neither extra- vagance or corruption could be imputed to the Sandtfeld McDonald Government. He criti- cised many of the items in the estimates which he pointed out were half a. million in excess of that presented by any previous Gov- ernment. . Mr Lauder thought the Hon. Treasurer should not be so sanguine as to the revenue to be derived from Crown Lands. Circum- stances were at present in favour of the p sent Government, and he went `on to show that in ve years the source of income would in: m.o-..:..n.. _-_ - -...... uuvurumeun, ma he source ` be materially decreased.

This was the se- l coml time only that the public accounts hiul . been furnished in a complete shape, prior to `I_nm|u'ng the usual speech in support of the .

He then proceeded tbdis- euu the nancial position of the Province at the clole of the year ending 31st December. 1872. He drew much of his comparisons from the Btttltllills having reference to the Iin:uicia\l-ycars of I868-G9 and 1870-71, and took the opportunity of paying the highest r icouipliment to the Hon. Mr Wood. for the mg spoken tor nearly two hours. Hon. Mr Cameron congratulated his hon. friend, the Treasurer, upon the lucid manner in which he had placed.his estimates before the House, but while he con atulated him upon his manner, he was afraigrthat he could not nraise the matter.

He would, he continued, close his statement by sa ing that the Province was making extraor inary progress in all direc- tions, the, cash resources having doubled dur- ing the last ve years. In these ve years the volume of trade had also doubled. Since 1867 there had been -expended on railways nearly $1,900,000. In the course of his remarks the is her condemned the articles of the London mu belittling I country that_wss making such rapid strides in the course of progress, and took credit to the Reform Government for the manner in which the finances were manag- ed.

The rstques- tion he would consider was--How does this Province stand nancially. In viewing this subject it was requisite to look at the effort of the Quebec Arbitration, a history of which he briey entered into. There was a debt of $10,- 500,000, chargeable against,Quebec andOutario; on the basis of making Ontario pay ve ninths, the s of $5,5,00,000 was charged against this rovince. This debt would be reduced by three large assets due by the Grand Trunk, Great \Vestern, and Northern Railways to the 'former Province of Canada. Against this debt we have the Upper Canada Grammar Fund. $312,769; Upper Uanada_ Building Fund, $|,472,30l ; our share of the Common School Fund, $914,214 ; our share of the Specic Fund, $3,000,000 ; Municipality Fund, $302,- 000 ; Upper Canada Improvement, $224,000 ; Provincial Libra:-y,$lU2,54l; and Joint Assets $6,990,751. \/Vith reference to our ways and means, his position was a very limited one. As Treasurer he had no power to put on taxes. Unr income resources are, from the Dominion Go\'ernment,$l,054,000; Consolidated Revenue Fund, $1,-141,000 ; open accounts, $2,680,900. These last two items of income were only esti- mates, but he quoted actual amounts derived from these sources during the past ve years for the purpose of showing that the estimated amounts were under the average of what might be expected. For some time back the actual expenditure had been considerably under the estimated expenses. For the year 1872, there was unexpended $540,817 ; in 1871, there was unexpended nearly three quarters of a million; in 1870, $450,383 ; and in 1869, $173,305, so that in no year has the expenditure reached $2,010,000 on Public Works.

On the 31st Dcc., 1862, the amount under investment was 84,- 297,979 ; expended on creating property of value, $1,475,427; and, in addition, there altog-ther mnrnamu-...l .... z..---- -' ,_ _ .. -.... .u-av vuusuuwee iupply, items, and report- pro . , `he ouae adjourned at 11:35 p. m-0azette. - Q ontatjo Legklature. |to, Feb. 2L-4'l'he h Ireuke?~.l ncncrreu no me mcreased ;he departments in 7 thought were ers would .-.,...:.. en speecn.
