R! The Neatly. Chezply, and on the shortest Kxâ€"â€"~F The Board of Trade met again yesterday in the Railway Committee KRoom of the liouse of Commons. Among the leading topics discussed a few may be mentioned. The question of establishing a Canadian Lioy«ds, or system of registration for Can:â€" &iian shipping, has long exercised the comimercial gentlemen of the maritime districts, and yesterday the subject reâ€" ceived a thorough discussion. A resolu: tion was passed favouring the establis\â€" ment of the institution, the Government to take the initiative steps, but its working to be regulated, oncs it is fairly. in operation, upon principles similar to the British Lioyds. The lake navigation was recommended to be included in whatever measure may be passed respecting 6th M North k. south Lanark, Carieton, Russell, ard the City of Oitawa. . Mr. Morgan‘s réturn| by acclamation by the Agricultural® Societ‘ies in the Neveral dis tricts enunfinted, is an evidence of his efforts in the past having been duly appreâ€" ciated. The other members whose term expired are: Messrs. A. McNab, M. P. Glengarry; Andrew Wi‘son, Maitland ; and J. B. Aylsworth, Newburgh These four gentlemen represented all that sec tion of the Province lying east of Torento. They are candidates tor re election, but as yei we have not heard of the result in their respective Divisions. â€" The «hances are, however, that all of them have been r>. l« cted. $¢h irrad i b measure imay be passed respecting the registration of shipping, and it it is more than likely ‘hat the conciaâ€" sions arrived at by the Board will receive the best consideration of the Legislature. Some time ago the Hon. Mr. Fortin, MP.P., of Gaspe, began, by the publica tion of a communication in the Quebec newspapers, a very interesting discussion upon the desiral ility of having telegraphic communication â€" between the â€" various islands in the Ga‘f of St. Lawrence. Durâ€" ing tue debate, it was mentionel inciâ€" dentally by Mr. Lord, of Montreal, who does a very large business with Newfoundâ€" land, that the people ot tu«t colony were not â€" only _ anxious for _ telegraphic commucication with _ Canada, as was shown by corresponience which had passed between himself and the Hon. Mr. Rogerson, but also really in favour of Confederation. The Government of the present time had, however, pledzed thamselves not to carry the project into effect without first conâ€" sulting the people, and it would therefore very probably rot come up before the next general election. We understand Mr. Lord to be in a position to speak with a good deal of authurity upon the subject, and if so, his utterance of yesteriay is a very important one indeed. .A resolution wass finally passed recommending the establishment of the telesraphic communi. cation referred to, the sum of $130,000 being named as likely to be necessary in the way of expenditure upon the work.

She is a daughter of the Prophet, and the men over whom she rules are ninetyâ€"nine in a hundred Mussulmans. T The Begum of Bhopal is the remarkable daughter of a remarkable woman. In 1865, when M. Louis Rousselet met her, the former queen was about fifty years of age. . HMer predecessor was a Nawab.| Being a woman, she had vast diffignulties ~ to overcome before she could feel assured _ ot her throne. ‘The English, above all, | were against her. Her husband, Je l imng‘uir. was the favourite claimant for ; the throne of Bhopal, which he ascended | ouly to di~ immediately in & rather mysâ€" | terious fashion. â€" Begum Secunder at once seized the reins of government as the selfappointed _ Regent of her daugh:â€" tar, _ Sbhan _ Jehan, then a â€" minor, | Secunder _ knew _ well _ what _ she was about. She scorned the "fabled diâ€"‘ visions of sex," as she callea them, She rode about, like a man, on a fiery Arab.| Un one pocasion she heard that a "sowar‘‘ | of hersgad spoken on this account dis.| respectfully of her, and, riding furiously at | him, thte woman of tiftyâ€"threg cleft his ( skull. Secunder Begum was a splendid , horseâ€"woman, and ber daughter, it is | lszlid, has often speared a pig in her day. Secunder had an ugly gash fcross her‘ left shoz:lder. She received it in a skirâ€" | mish vlfilep she was about ‘thirtyâ€"five ; years old. She rode full tilt at a rebel | with a rand ran him through,. He‘ had, however, strength left to give her a | parting|slash. | | With reference to this deâ€"cription 'h{ M. L Rousselet, as translated by Colone! Buckle, a wor l or two may be said. In the first place, we do not understand what M. Rousselet means when he says that he rrened the Bogum‘s hands "In Asiatio ashion.‘" When ‘Orien:als press hands, ihey press :‘Eem_‘ very Lnuoh as linmpolnl The Princess, in obedience to the inâ€" junstions of the Mussulman laws, of which her hasbin‘d, Prince Oumra ‘Douli, was & fanatic observer, did not, however, exhibit herself to our eyes. She was separated from us y a blind of fine straw, which permitte! her to see us without being seen ber:elf; but at the end of the interview, which was tolerably long, and at which the Qieen was present, the curtain wes slightly raised to give passage to a slender, ‘delicate hand, with iingers covered with diamonrds, which I pressad in mine in Asiitic fashion. This is all we raw that day of the mysterious princess; and the Begum Secunder did not allow the opportunity to pass without again expressing all the aversion which this custom of the purdah, cutting off women so entirely from the society of her fallow cre »tures inspired her with. _ But a very unexpected event was soon to put an end to this position, so displeasing to the Beâ€" gum, and permit us to satiefy our curiosity. Some weeks after our inter: view, one of the nobles arrived on horse back in great haste at the Meti Bungalow, to announce to us from the Queen that the Prince Oumra Doula had been found dead in his bed that morning. The news, the Sirdar added, had diffused consternation _ throughout . the _ paâ€" lace, _ for _ the _ Prince _ w in the prime of life, arnd seomedl to be of a robust constitution. * * * The First Minister soon arrived, and received au order from the Queen to conduct us himself to the palace of Oumra, the facade of which extends along one of the sides of the square of the palace. * * * The Minister left us in this room, after having sent to announce our arrival to the Princess ; and, in a few moments after, one of the doors opened, and I saw a young woman enter, dressed in the strange and almost masculine costum>s which mikes the Bhopalese women reâ€" semble the young pages who appear at our theatres. Imagining her to be one of the Princess‘s attendants, [ advanced indifferâ€" ently to meet the young girl ; but with & gesture of dignity she stopoed me, ssying, * I am Shah Jehan!" [ paused a moment in amazement, and bowed profoundily ; and my astonishment mayjbe conceived on fiudinti myself sudidenly in the pres: ence of the Princess whom I imagined to be still strictly confined to her harem. Nevertheless, recovering somewhat from my surprise, I addressed my compliments of condolence t> her, telling Eer how during the short time that I had known Prnce Oumra Doula I had learned to esteem and even to like him. Without attempting to feign the slightest emotion, the young Prince put a stop to my praises, sat ing, with a slight shrug of the shoulders, the simple word "Kismet!" : (It was written.) Then, motioning me to seat myself near her on one of the sofas, she said abruptly to me, " Do you come from Paris?" and I was compelled, without taking breath, to give a. descripâ€" tion of Paris, its monuments, and the manner of its inbhabitants I could not get over© my bewilderment, and was almost shocked at this utter want of teeling, when the Begum Secunder arrived. She could not help smiling on remarking my astonishment, and, having sea‘ed herself beside us, said to me :â€" "I mourn for Oumra Doula because I lose in him a faithful friend and counsel~ lor. But why lhouldmydmgll:w mourn? Does the prisoner regret his gaoler?" Strauge words these rg:fi the lips of an Asiatic. They are, indeed, the condemnaâ€" tion of the wornâ€"out custom of the se~ questration of women, which Mussulmen persist in keeping up, in spite of the (‘:fimunt progress of civilization among en. | Some uncomfortable things are said about the present Begum of Bophal. It is acknowledged that she is a clever woman, and she is decidedly handsome, with regular features, and a "black fireâ€"glance," as the natives say. Her complexion is of a very light olive. Her usual state cos tume is singular, for it is her fancy to ape the man in her atrire. Ugly things have been said of her. In Col. Buckley‘s translation of M. Louis Rousselet‘s hand some volume we read : . CosTUME oP A PAGK: OE WALES! VISITOLS, _ Secunder was a woman as beauti‘ul as she was bold. .
