Many are seen upon the roads wending their way there on foot, not only from the west, but from this side ofSalt Lake, travel- ling westward to the same destination.

The Nova Scotisn Government resolved to test the law, and for this purpose the same gentleman, Capt. Forbes, was sent. to the United States. A case was raised in which a master of a vessel refused the second eerti-cute, and to pay the fee demanded. It was brought before the court of first jurisdic- tion snd judgment rendered against the Consul It was then appealed to the higher court, and nf- i ter tedious proceedings, the judgment of the lower court was conrmed, so that it was onl last summer settled beyond doubt, that the law of the United States did a second nally Dominion an-n ---- -- ....,....c..u., vvuu sunea In reply that the lawn of the United States required both certicates to be taken by all masters of vessels.

He toundthe facts to be as we have stated, whereupon the Non.

The Foreign Secretary made inquiries of the Consuls themselves, who stated in reply that 9..

On the arrival of a. vessel at any United States port, the master is '7 required, by law, to hand his papers to his Con- sul or his Agent, who gives ltim a certicate, on presenting which at the Custom House he is ad- mitted to entry. For this certicate the Consul or Agent is entitled to a fee. For some yests pest, however, some of the Consuls and their Agents have been in the habit of demanding andreceiving another fee for 3 second cettili- cate on giving back the papers to the master of the vessel, when he was ready to sail. They in- sisted upon every master ofa vessel taking such certicate whether he desired it or not, and thus managed to double their fees without the slight- est right or authority. The rules of the Foreign Oice gave them 9. right to the first fee, but not to demand the other unless the master expressly naked from them 5 certicate on leaving port, then and in that case only had they right to de- mand the second fee. The wrong and extorti ll! of which they were guilty, was in insisting that every master must take the second certicate whether he wanted it or not, and thus in com- pelling masters, in every case, to pay two lees instead of one.

Thisinteresting work is issued under the auspices of the Queen, who com- manded Mr Kenneth Macleay to execute the thirty or more original drawings of Her Majesty's retainers of the Royal household at Ballnoral. The portraits have great merit as. works of art, and are full lengths with accessories, which greatly enhance their interest. Each portrait is sccnmpa- nierl hy descriptive and biographical letter press, which has also had the advantage of being revised _hy'Her Majesty. It ap- pears that each retuiner is represent-ed 8.4 a member of one or other of the famous clans of Scotlsml, so that the series will have his- torical, and` what may fairly he termed eth- nological, intererest. Her Majesty s kind- ness in showing so much interest in the per- sonal history of her retainers. aml confer- ring upon them such distinction, wil_lcx- tend and conrm the affectionate regard in which Her Niajesty is_hehl.y But, beyond the sentiment ol'-thc work, it has intrinsic uml national value; it is certainly unique in conception, original in the fullest sense of the word, having no predecessor in the list. of Royal volumes. ` --..- ---.--- - -. --~-- - -_V-_-___vA1.

Last year was the first year of this experiment, which is watclied with a. lively interest by ngricul- turists and by dealers in sugar. Some eight hundred tons of beets were grown, but the quantity anticipated for the present year is four-thousiind tons, ready for use by the end of SL`pt`CI}ll)Cl', when the works will use up roots at the rate of sixty tons in day.

The daughter and son also spoke po- sitively as to the identity of the prisoners.
