The members of the British Columbis Legislature at the time the last received papers left, had been :discussing the bill relating to the alteration of the terms of union, at great length and with much inâ€" terest. The object of the measure was to secure authority for accepting the graving dock guarantee capitalised, and the mil lion for roads and public works, to be graoted by Canada instead of the sma!l annual payment. Some of the memb«rs seem to have formed a correct enough estimate of the character and objects of the late Federal Ministers, in their ex~ travagrant, or reckless promises to British Columbis, in the matter of the railway In the.course of his remarks, Mr. Booth observedâ€"â€"* The teeling in Canada is "that SOWING SEEDS OF MISCHIRFP He has fought the battle of hbxl'nm ably since confederation, being faithfully assisted by Hon.

There isa beetâ€"root lntu refizery cstablished at Lotbiniere, and this year will be in complete operation upon a coniderable scale, ‘The seed of the beetâ€" root from which the above sugar was mave was sown in June last, that is one month lite, and without havin& undergone the necessary preparation to quicken vegeta« tion. luspite of this the roots yielded nine per cent of saccharine matter, which is two per cent more than the yield in Eu. rope. . The farm rs in the neighbour seeing the success of the new re have promised to d;.':h several hllld'.d | uts to growing beetâ€"roots this se xson, I mw.u doubtless reap 1 handsome return. Eighty million pounds of sugar were im ported into the Dominion last year. Beet. root sugar manufactured in Canada, it will be remembered, was last year protected by the present duty for ten years. This ought to gire it a start." l The freaks of the weather have not been confined to the American Continent this winter. This side of the Atlantic we have experience such a broken, alternately very muld and cold season, as meteorologists have to go far back im memory or records to maich. Fortunately for the poor, at any rate, we have been favored with an extraordinary number of warm, springâ€"like days, by the effect of which our winter roads have been several times almost onâ€" tirely dissipated. The mild spell of the week before laat raised expectations of departure of winter, which were rudely dispel‘ed by the biting blasts and snowâ€" storms of last week. Now, again, and in reguiar order, about St. Patrick‘s Day, we have genial weather, the foretaste of sumâ€" mer, which may or may not be succeed+d, «s before, by chilly winds and frozen downâ€" i pours. We should prefer a different exâ€" porience, however, in England, too, they uave been visited by gales and snow»falls, the Duke of Edinburgh and his bride hays ing eatered London mid the flakes, which which did not discoursge the citizens, or or prevent their giving him a warm re» ception. By the way, his brother, the Prince of _ Wales, used to excite remark by his all luck _ in Canada snd elsewbere in the matter of rain, hi«éntrance to a place being geners ally accompanied with innumerable wetâ€" ings, A witty reporter of a Montreal journal cbristened hins, while in this country, on account of the above circum« stance, "The Raining Prince." Constan. tinople, strange to say, Las also been pelted by a snow storm, occasioning great sufferâ€" ing among the poor. Such m visitant in ‘bat latitude is 2o rare as to find the peoâ€" ple wholly unprepared, and to surprise p°° VE0y "nprepared, and io surprise the rest of the world. We usually asso, ciate the thought of the Sultan‘s Capital, on the shores of the Bosphorus, with picâ€" tures of burning suns, tropical plants and 1 zy, half clad Mussulmen, oppressed with heat and lavguor, We notice that Mr. Bell, the weather prophet of Quebes, ‘n| a min who has devoted great studg to «he science of meteorology, predicts gale We have much pleasure in noticing the the atteropt to establish or acelwatise & new industry in the Provincs of Quebecâ€" that of the manufacture of beet root sugar. . Whether it look like protec= tionism or not we frust confess that the need of new indu«ufit very much felt in many parts of/ the Lower Province Farmers distknt from the cluef cities are ill off mdeed for ere. middling markets having thus no object in taking much out of the soil. Who can wonder at conseâ€" quent poverty and emigration to the State or the large cities, Frenchmen who have visited Can:da admit the capacity of Queâ€" bec for beet cultivation, so profitable in their old country. Efforts have been made for some time to establish the manuâ€" facture of sugar from this root, and thus supply an opportunity of profitable labours to the people. 3 Another speaker, desirous of defeating the bill, and holding Canada to the strictâ€" ext letter of her bond, quoted, as we preâ€" dicted would be done, the opinion of Sir John Macdonald, expressed often and emphatically during the late electoral campaign, that ifthe railway terms were not carried out as to time and amount of operations, and so forth, tha Province would have the right to secede. This patriotic suggestion would be aated upon, no doubt, by a small party, tomorow, but foriuna eiy the majority are loyal to Canada, which they credit, and r.ghtly, too, with a desire to do all within her powr to keep f.ith with British Columbia, and give her a good start on the way to prosperity, The Quebec Legislature the session be« tore last gave practical encouragement to a Frenchman desirous of embarking in such an enterprise. We are glad someâ€" thing has come of it, as the following from L‘ Evenssent will shew :~ _ vince. Again he urged the House to do nothing to impair their rights tor redress to secede. . Viewing the matter as a legal question he believed it would be looked upon as most seriously to com| their position by taking over the 51,:00,- UOV ; i. would virtually stop their mouths. If he could assist the Government to recede in their step he would willingly do so; he would not willingly embarruss it. Tae way the matterhad arisen was painâ€" fully evident, and he proceeded to exâ€" plain it.

He proceeded to argue from . the p int of the object of the union of the 14 Provinces. The desire tor power and to | ; possess territory from ocean to ocean, was | the o‘ject of union, and the way to be | / able to say to Canada that she can‘t hbave | , their territory. and to tell her she has | , fuled to grapple with such a gigantic lia« | billity as she had undertaken, was to be able to state to her that she had not carried out her coutract with this Proâ€" Canada first, and | egislated afterwards ; instead of _ that, there is legislation first, and negotiation last Fow lawyers would be frund to state that they haf:ru‘mhn in this matter, .

This is not so in other places that [ know of, but is notably so in Uttawa. Xrk The Church Question To the Editor of THE TIMES: it Sis,â€"In the face of this very large deâ€" fection from the Church of England, it is but fair to theâ€" clergy of that Church, to state some of the reasons advanced by those who are taking a part in the Refor maticn of 1874. _ _ _ _ °. 3. we no.ige, is just now ats I tnoun.; ',mq attention ia the press of the }::&' & oountry. Thisis owing in some } asure to the labours of the efficient staif of Emigrstion Agents sent oyer by 'l the Dominion and Provinciil authorities | hore. Mr. H. J. Larkin, Emigration Agent jrin lreland, is amonget those whose effurte | auggest activit, and zoal, and are doubiâ€" | less productive of much good. Under date of the 20:th ult, Mr. Larkin sddresses a letter to the Dublin Freema», from which l\:e quore the following exiracts, which are just the correct antidote to the misâ€" ’ taken impression of the rclative advanâ€" tages of Canadian and United States in. fduoomonn:â€" anies, _ not to k of all the E‘:n hands Nqu.m. render _ it quite impossible to supply a tithe of the helps required. In the new Provinces of Manitoba, British Columbis, and the great N.rthâ€"West, the Government buildinr, with enlargement of the canals aud the sections of the great Pacific Railway ready to construct as soon as spring opens, be sides the mines of silver, copper, iron ores, coal, &c., (which are even now profitably worked), point out these E:ovlne- as the most desirable points in world for the vigorous, determined, l‘m:'lflnl of the surplus population. Statistics prove that the Canadian prairie linds &re the most fertile, and produce 25 to 30 per cent more wheat than the choicest lands of the Weslern States which you mention, and ef a better and brighter quality, with a betâ€" ter filled and plumr:rr gtaiy. > *.. _ *#5 . * We expect a very large share of the amiâ€" gration of this year, the per centage of which is yearly increasing in proportion to those who crowd the Atlantic cities of the United States.

Mr: Litane, as the incumbent will there see how men may differ in opinion, ulsd yet not bt:ly refrain trom intemperate language, but tm $.hunalvu?n christian gentlemen do. F1,â€"â€"As the incumbent of St. Alban‘s has thought it expedient to place a state= ment of his views, respecting the move: ment, which he terms the unholy work of Antiâ€"Christ, before the public, I should be glad if he can find vime to give explaâ€" nations on eorhlnpunmolhh letter, 1 may, however, as well at once, express my dissent from his proposition that the ufi‘iou- questions now ogt:dng the pubâ€" lie mind are not suitable for disc ussion in the secular press. The Church of m land numbers about one«fifth of the w population of Untario, and a matter of inâ€" terest to so large a pn:g:rfion ot our psople may fairly claim assistance of the press. Iam very sorry the reverend do:tor should have descended to the use of langu,ge both intemperate and unjust towards a gentleman, who, whatever his religious opinions may be, has certainly given mo provocation for the harsh terms applied to him by the Incumbent of Sc. Alban‘s. ‘The reverend doctor says he is no " Ri» tualist." Will le state then why his choir wear the dress of the Roman Cathoâ€" lic Churen? . Why they cross themseilves?! Why he follows, in his seryices, practices which have been made grouns of ap to the Ecclesinstical Courts in lcm to the united congregation, rumor must have strangely erred, or the doctor is under a most singular delusion. The names of leading citizens of Ottawa have been mentioned from time to time as having been compelled to leave the cou~ gregation of St. Alban‘s owing to their dissatisfaction with the wmnovations and ecoentricities of the incumbent, and, I am told, there are not now thirty heads of tamilies in Octawa,(of courâ€"e I don‘t in« elude the choir) who attend St. Alban‘s, who would be got to sign a statement that they are satistied with the m{‘ the service is carried on, Nay more, it is said that several of the most prominent mem bers of the Reformed Church are seceder 8 from St, Albin‘s congregation.
