President Grant ennphmthucw‘ has pursued a very unfriendly course towards the Americans ; first, in having taken any steps for the protection of the fisheries which belong to us by as good a title as the ground upon which we stand ; +econdly, for having enforced the provisions of the treaty of 1818 and preâ€" vented American fishermen from trading and buying supplies in Canadian ports ; and thirdly, for claiming the right to _ exercise control over the navigation of the waters of the St. Lawrence river. WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 7, 187 IIon. John Young, of Montreal, is in The contract let to Mr. John Browne KEW ADVERTISEMENTS, arise as to their wilful vidlasion of the fishery laws. Officrs of the United States nary have acknowledged that the instrucâ€" tions thus given to our oflicials by the Canadian Government were fauthfully carâ€" ried out. But in justice to ourselvres, and more especially to our lishermen, it is the manifest duty of our (G.Â¥vernment to conâ€" tinue their present line of policy, and pre vent â€" Americans hu“flfi'ml a right which was y _ theirs so tong as the _ Reciprocity . Treaty was in force. They were not, and are not. ntwbynfiyddnwiqjmmw- cans, or, as President Grant asserts, "with a view to political effect upon the United States Government." Their action has been fully endorsed by all polivical parties in the Dominion, and the unanimous feel ing of this country is that the course which they have adopted should be persisted i\.. OReet 38, Bparhe Btree As to the exclusion of Amâ€"rican fishing wessels from Canudian ports, the facts, briefdy stated, are these. The treaty of 1818 provides that American fishing vessels shall only be allowed to enter our harbours when forced to do so by stress of weather, or to obtain supplies of wood and water. This was dJone in order that American vessels might have no oxcuse for frequentâ€" ing Canudian waters, as weli as to prevent smuggling. This provision has never â€" been â€" anpulled, . although, of course, so long as the Reciprocity treaty lasted it remained in abeyance. It was first put in force during the present Val»rous, in the harbour of Charlottetown, P E.L lt must be obvious that, save THE FI3aERY QUESTION. respect of thinking or faus 1870 can only be felt by those who are engaged in a violation of the fishery laws. In his remarks concerning the claim of | the Canadian Govéernment to exercise conâ€" trol over the navigation of the River St. Lawrence, and the compartson which he makes between it and the free navigation of the Rhine, Danube, and other European rivers, President Grant only exhibits an amount of ignorance which seems perfectâ€". ly astonishing in a man occupying his poâ€" sition. The truth is that there is no resemblance hetween the two@Roases. ‘The navigation of the Réiver St. Lawrence means, in effect, the free naviâ€" gation of the Canadian canals, for without them there is no water communication between the West and the Atlantic Ocean, so far as the St. Lawrence route is conâ€" cerned. Has Premdent Grant, or have the Americart people the effrontery to ask us to allow them the free use of canals built ut great cost with our money, while they grant us no similar advantages in return ? ‘The idea is a preposterous one, and savors altogether too much of the ! grab"" game which some American politicians seem so ‘desirous of playing upon this continent. The effects which the of our Government, as regards the fishery ques tion. has had upon this country havre drdybmd.natbmflddohmfl- lhe fishermen of the Maritime proâ€" vinces haro enjoyed a season of um wonted prospérity, and a great stimualu» has been given to the fishing and also to the shipbuilaing interest. In this connec wion, we may mentien that Mesers. McKay a«nd Warner, the wellâ€"known shipbuilders of Quebes, say they intend to c.nmence a new business at that port, that is for the iishery trade. They have just laid down lour vessels, which they intend ha«ving ready by the first of May for the fishing rrounds of the St. Lawrence, and they United States, anda of semething tanta mount t, nonâ€"intercourse, gire up our rights and tamely permit Americans to do as they like withâ€"our property ? Shall we, ;hoâ€"in-o resisted so many threats and such repeated pressure, shrink from proâ€" mmwwmr To this ques sountry, without regard to party," race, or sraed will indiznantly answer No! Beâ€" 1use we would now consent to annexation, «nd because of our daring to arow symp« thy with the South, the Reciprocity Treaty was abrogated. All kinds of terrible things mpumdu-u-,um-m w be staring us in the face; yot, in spite of all, we hare since then enjoyed pros perity such as we never knew before, and we believe that now, whatever unfriendly measures our ne.ghbours may think proper exist,to prosper and progress. We do now wish to indulge in "tall talking." To as sume the attitude of a bully would be as «bsurd for Canada, as it would be mean nd cowardly for the United KSiates to do so. But we believre that trom four to five millions of Canadians, united and one in -pirituudlmwinml_qmuouwo are, cannot easily be trampled on or wor vied into an abandonment of their nationâ€" ‘w. We have confidence in the power and influence of Great Britain who in an unmistakeable manner has promised to sapport anâ€" defend us against foreign Ag gression ; we depend to some extent on the right feeling of the Americans themâ€" selves ; but most of all we depend upon uur own ability to defend ourselves from insult and wrong. < If we are to be a peo ple, it we are to work out a great and noble destiny on th.s continent, let us not yield a tittle of our rights in the faceo~ of threats, but acting fairly and honourably lwlo our neighbors, pursue the course which justice dictates without hesitation or di.trust.

The large basement of the Wesleyan Metho I dist Church, Meicalfe street Wa crammed by a highly respectable audience. and to judgeo from the frequent maniâ€" festations of delight indulged in, the series of lectures will be rery populir The Hon. Dr. Tupper, who was #mong the audience, amid heaty applause was callew to the chair. Un the reverend lecturer stepping to the reuding desk he was received with lous demonstratiens of plessure. After prâ€" Lminary muh] he stated that the sub jeee of ‘his would be th« poet Tennyson, who he describes «s natures own poet ; he had done more o elevate the posts and pooa.r&:l the age and to bring them and their efforts into + new phaso. The post laureate of tGreat Brita.n, Alfred Tennyson, we haud ever: reason to be proved of, his purity of style «nd purity of lite balance one another . the poet laureate was not “tl:a t:o‘ firs the posts of the age, but Waâ€" u.o:,un most virtuous of men. We could truiy emulate his life and appreciate i.hw. s en t oi is M cce 0 t Such were a few of the high complh: menkis the lecturer paid the suvyject of th« lecture. â€" He also related the tollowing in adent in connection w.th the Tennysou famuly. The boysof the family were al. more or less poetically inclned.. At an ecarly ago Alired and Charles distinguishec themselves in the nursrey by their juve nile compositions, and at a little later t.me they puw.volu-nu.d.nhoduou "Puetry by two boys."‘ Frederick anothe brother also published a rolume of poetry, but Alfred outstripped them all and w« the one of the fammly who rose to the hig: position ot Poet laureate by the culuvya tom ot his postic genius. It has bee said of L ennayson and saud truly that when h did write a poem, it contained noth ng i1 it but music. The lecturer divides the poetry of Tennyson into diflerent aspects, describmg the different . aspects in language particularly forcible and elegant and proceeded to re.d the «* May Queen lor its bewury of eluc:dation and many apâ€" pe«ls to the heart contained in it. Tm seleciion was yery well read by the rev yentlieman, but his most successful efto: must certaimly be «dmitted to have been ! the rendering of the amusing poem 0: = The North Country Farmer," which the Yorkshire experiences of the re.der pe: mitted him t give with the brogue to per tection. The old farmer, who is ridin, sccompanied by his oluest son, seizes the opportunity to tell him that his thoughts of the pastor‘s daugbter havre led im= mother and himself t o.me to the con clusion that he (the son)is an ass, an« advices him not to marry for money, bus uowwhenmoyh. When he marâ€" ried his mother he had "‘lots o‘ mone, «id by and a nicest bit 0‘ land." 1t 1 true, continued the cunning old farmer she was not over good look ng bu: .« a mhin â€"looking@ woman,. now just as nice to cuddle an kiss as a goodâ€" looking one.‘" The poem was concluded amid roars of laughter from the asudierce Where wailing was to be done Tennyson‘s style was unrivalled, and. as proof of this, the lecturer read Ia Memoriam," which he thought nothing in the English language «pproach d. _ Ligar Allan, Shan whom better judge of postry lived, in his day said that this poem . was . botih "‘uniaue â€" and _ tran«cendlental"; the b ons read lhope:sr".l fecsing and poom was tarly ui veautiful one of Dors, followed by ‘?}!noou Arden.‘ 1: rela t« n to the poem of ‘Enoch Arden the lessurer said that many critic» bad taken fago their he«ds to sevrercly criticise the pfqdnot_wnsed T:e‘ot.onod it» moral tendâ€"nciss, bw he bad no such qualms and did not hesitate to say that he thought it one of the most frank and beauâ€" tiful of Tennysau‘s poems. Again paying a bigh tribute to the post, the lecturer concluded amid prolonged «pplause. Dr. Tup:r then moved a vote of thanks, in which paid a m h complhment to the eloquâ€"nt and lecturer ; his eloâ€" quent an i touching rendering of the selecâ€" tions from the post Tennyson, and the eloâ€" quent and instructive remarks accompany â€" L e uds c iss ts ouse AShe mow r;;-t'hoâ€"-.-flo begged to think the rev. gentleman for the treat they had enjoyed. ‘The Mayor begged to second the moâ€" tion.

He was sure, when it beâ€" came gener«lly known that these interest ing lectures were to be continued, that the only dulliculty that would be expmienced would be that ot finding a room lar enough to contain the people that woufi Aock to them.

The general rule of Public law is that three miles of zea are counted as land, and are under the exclusive jurisdiction: of the State to which the adjacent shores vbelong. But this rule is moditied . by another which is to _ the effect that bays _ and ; estuaries enclosed by _ headlands form part of â€" the maritime â€" torritery . of the State to .which the headlanas belong, even though there should be water within the bay which is more than three m les from either coust. It is under this rule that the United States olaim exclusive jurisdiction over Delaware Bay and over the embouchâ€" ure of the Mississippi. The controversy (not at all a new one) revived by Mrc. Butâ€" ler is whether the rule applhies to the Bay of Fundy between Nova Scotia and New Brunswick â€" Ind. pendently of some minor complications which hare arisen through treaties, the American case is, that the Bay of Fundy, excepting three mjles from the coast, is part of the high sea ; the anadian case is th.t the whele bay be longs exclus.vely to British jurisdiction. Though it would be easy to show that in other parts of the Conunent the Ameriâ€" cans have «dvanced claims which ought tor ever to mlnn from muking the presâ€" ent pre the question is in itself one which nations -ifin duwpute about for ever.

It is, no doubt, true, on the other hand, that the difference is one which any government in good faith and in a friendly -plflfim easily setitle by an ofinblo compromise ; and, in fact, during currency of the Reciprocity Treaty w.th Canada the controversy has virtu«lly been um. But there are vory many motives w at the present moâ€" ment may lead the Americian Government to spproach the matter in an unfriendly spirit, and the l‘oelh% of the Canadians, which must bo carelully reckoned with since the consolidation of the Dominion, is too strong to admit of one of those whol«â€" sale but very far trom respectful concesâ€" sions which this country is in the habit of making to the United States. . The abuse of England‘to which Ameriâ€" can politicians have occasionally recourse has been compared to the «No Popery‘ cry in this country.

Mr. Chavearu, in proposing the reâ€" solution respecting the arbitration, said the solution of the question was of extreme importance to the fimg-e prosperity of Quebec. During the discussion Uni n delegates from different provinces conâ€" sidered the question most difficult, Nova Swotia and New Brunswick would not as sume the responsibility of the total debt. They agreed in the Federasl Parliament to assumse $2,000,000, and the balance, $10,000,000, to be divided between Un tario and Quebec. The British North America Act of 1867 decided that the exâ€" cess of the Canadian debt be referred to arbitration, so as not to affect the intorest of either province. It was agreed thit Quebec and Untario should name two and the Federal Government one. Quebec was accused of stubborness be cause she objected to :njustice. Col. Gray was acting on it, but seeing he had left St:Johns to reside permanentâ€" Ijy â€" at OUttawa, be _ could not act with perfect justice to Quebec. _ The facts are under three classes: First, judgment and arbitration should be unaniâ€" mous ; second, one aruitrator withdrawing should it cease. .

Proceeaings, notwithstanding, were continued, aud jadgement was giveon.

The uecessity to ex amine the financial state of e«ach Province «t the time of the Union, and apply com mon partnership law, This was refused by the Arbitrators.
