bill. The former was intrcduced at a previous session, and in the inter- val was destributed amongst the judges and jurists of the Dominion, with a view to obtaining suggestions for the improvement and perfecting of the measure. A select committee, compos- ed of leading lawyers then took charge of the work, and the result has been the codification of the criminal law, the first in the history of the country. The code consists of 1007 clauses, which will give some idea of the immense amount of labor the work entailed. of high importance mark the session just closed, the codification of the criminal law, and the redistribution lasted through more than nineteen weeks.

THE Senate did a. good thing when it removed from the criminal code the provision that made the Province of Quebec lottery legal. Gambling speculation of all kinds is demoralizing and impovericing to a community, and is doubly so when protected by the law. It is to be regretted that the section to Algoma and Nipissing district in Ontario, and one to Ottawa county in Quebec. In order to effect these changes in Ontario and Quebec, certain electoral districts below the unit of population have been united. In" Ontario, Monck a conservative constituency dis- appears, aud North Brant and North Wentworth two liberal divisions are united. In Quebec, eight constituencies ‘of which three are conservative have} been formed into four divisions. In Prince Edward Island, a liberal con' stituency has disappeared; in Nova Scotia two counties, a liberal and a conservative, have been united 3 whilst in New Brunswick the two divisions which disappear are represented by conservatives. Taking the redistribu- tion measure as a whole, it may be fairly claimed for it that it is as free from objectionable partisan features as it possible to have such a measure. hers. Ontario and British Columbia, under the system, were entitled to remain stationary, and as a. matter of lcourse Quebec, so far as the number of representatives is concerned. The large increase of population in such com- mercial centres as Montreal and Toronto, however, rendered a redistri- bution of the seats in Ontario and Quebec necessary, with the result that Montreal has now two additional mem- bers, Hochelaga, a suburb of that city, ‘ has now a representative. and Toronto‘ has an additional representative.

The heavy rains came at a time when they could do least ham, and should the present bright warm weather continue the result to the farming com- munity may justify the expectations that were formed of a good crop early in the season. In low land districts there has been considerable injury, and rust is reported, but to a small extent, in Central Ontario. The mischief al- ready done it is admitted will not be serious, should favorable weather con- tinue. The hay crop is a large one,‘ whilst roots and fruit are in a promis- ing condition.

The extent of the loss may be estimated ,from the fact that St. John’s is the only city in the colony, contains one- sixth of the population of the island, and most of its wealth and resources.

C,â€"â€"Hotels Closed. VICTORIA, B. 0.. July 12.-â€"There is a general panic here over the outbreak of small-pox. Forty cases were reported up to last night. The disease broke out first three weeks ago in a house which was promptly quarantined. and it was suppos- ed that the disease had been stamped out. There is no place at present to which the afflicted can be moved, but it is thought one will be found today. In the mean- time tents are being erected. The Driard House. the leading hctel, closed yesterday voluntarily ; the Balmoral, Western Hotel and also a number of boarding houses are THE commercial agency reports of the failure record for the Dominion for the first half of 1892 are an improve- ment upon the record for the same period of last year. The number of failures show a decline of nearly five per cent., and the amount of liabilities 17 per cent. In Ontario the number of failures has been 399 as against 458 for the first half of 1891, and the liabilities $2,224,212, as against $3,- 047,025 for the same period of last year. In Quebec the number for the ‘firss half of 1891 was 367 as compared with 305 this year; whilst the liabilities this year have been $3,124,- 841 as against $4,525,205 in 1891. Ini the other provinces the record has not been quite so favorable; but taking the Dominion as a whole there were 41 less failures during the first six months of this year than for the same period of last year, and the amount of liabilities about $1,400,000 less. The splendid crop of last year has had its effect on trade generally, and should a good har- vest be reaped this year better things may he looked for. tion suspend the right to free passage through the canal, and may cause to be levied a toll on freight, not to exceed $2 per ton, and a toll on passengers not to exceed $5 each. Canadian freight and passengers carried in United States vessels are to be treated the same as when carried in Canadian vessels. It is doubtful whether this move should be regarded in a serious light, as it is popular on the eve of a great election in the U.S. to appear to give the tail of the Canadian beaver a twist.

PARIS, July 11.â€"Ravachol, the Anar- ‘ chist, murderer and thief, was executed this morning. He was awakened at 4.30 o’clock by the goal officals at Mount Brisson and. informed that the day of his execution had arrived. The condemned man assumed an air of cynical indifference and when the ministrations of the prison chapliu were offered to him he refused to accept them, and broke out into strong invectives against religion. In some way the knowledge that this notorious crim- inal was to be put to death this morning became known and a noisy and excited crowd gathered about the place where the guillotine was set up. The approaches to the scaffold were guarded by lines of troops who kept the way clear for the condemnq ed man and the executioner’s party. 1 Ravachol was brought out of the prison in a closed van. Though he could not be seen he could beheard uttering blasphe- mous cries. The instrument of death had been erected and everything was in readi- ness. In the early morning light the scene was a weird one. As Ravachol descended from the van silence fell upon the crowd. Once alongside the guillotine the prisoner was seized by the assistants of M. DeBloc the executioner, who, with the celerity attained by long practice, soon bound him hand and foot. His elbows were drawn ‘ back behind him and bound together, his 1 shirt was opened at the neck and turned down, and in a moment his unresisting form was pushed down the bascule. the sliding plank that carries the body forward in a reclining position, so that the neck is directly under the knife. Just as he was slid forward Ravachol shouted, “I have something to say.” DeBloc paid no atten- tion whatever to this, but proceeded to let the knife drop. Just as the heavy blade started on its fatal journey. Rava- chol shouted “Vive la Republique.” and a second later his severed head was lying in the basket placed in front of the guil- 4 lotine to receive it. After the morbid curosity of the crowd had been fully satis- fied by seeing the end of Ravachol, they slowly dispersed. TORONTO.
