TW ta Lb 8 4, |1 At the present time Canada is the sixth maritime power in the world, aithough speaking comparatively, born only of yesâ€" terday. Under the wise and judicious trade policy of the late Government the tonnage of our shipping has undergone rapid deâ€" velopment in spite of the hard times. Not long since the neighbouring Republic was bidding fair to take the lion‘s share ot the carrying trade of the world. â€" However a fit of insanity overtook the Yankees, such as lately has got possession of the people of Canada ; a high protective policy was put in foree for the purpose, it was avowed, of making every body rich, aad the result of which was that in a few years the Amecrican Shipping was driven off the Oceaz. ‘That this is not clap trap will be % onee seen by reading the following extract from a report sent lately by Mr. Mountjoy the American Consul at Peru to the United States Government :â€" As we have some heavy payâ€" ments to meet within the next four weeks, we request that Subâ€" scribers in arrears will remit their subscriptions at once. All in arrears more than three months should pay $1.25 per year, but to those subscribers owing us we make this Liberal Offer. We will take $1 in payment for each back yearly subscription, when accompanied by next year‘s subscription, remitted to us before the 1st of December. After that date full payment will be collected. "‘The British free trade system enables England to sell by so much per centum less than the United Siates than is levied by tarift and internal revenue on manufacturâ€" ed articles in the latter country. The British fleet of steamers on this coast, in number and fleetness, is the finest in the world, rivalling even the Pacific and Oriental Steamship Company‘s vessels. _ About seventy firstâ€"class British steamers are conâ€" tinually ploughing the waters of these coasts, while the United States is beholden to England for the favour of a mail service. Agents for the Grey Review. â€"The Hon. M. C. Cameron has been elevated to the Bench as puisne Judge in the Queen‘s Bench, and Chiefâ€"Justice Hagarty has been appointed Chiefâ€"Justice of the Court of Queen‘s Bench in room of the deceased Judge Harrison. Mr. Camâ€" eron Las long occupied a distinguished place at the bar, and in the opinion of his professional brethren he is well qualified for the distinguished position which he now oceupies. Mr. Meredith of London is exâ€" pected to succeed Mr. Cameron as leader in the House of Assembly. Since the wbove was put in type we learn that Sir John is not sure as to the appointment of Mr. Cameron. These steamers take freight at the same rate as sailing vessels. Thus England, having the advantages of Leing a mart for every| Durham, November 21, 1878. â€"The London Free Press, a Conservaâ€" tive journal says "that it is quite probable that the admission of Newfoundland to the Dominion of Canada will be one of the issues before Parliament at the coming session." The Newfoundlanders have in conteroplation the building of a railway across the island, which the Free Press says will require a gigantic outlay, and which will require outside assistance over and above the contributions of the islanders. Reasoning from anology they will suppose that their time has come, seeing that the gentleman who is ever ready to promise anything, now wields the destinies of Canada. â€" And Sir John A. Maedonald will seo in this railway project the counterpart of his British Columbia scheme. â€" Should the House of Commons of 1879 prove as pliant a body as that of 1872, a few votes will be secured for the administration, and the public debt will be increased by a good many millions, but increase of the burdens of the people even in the presence of hard times, with wheat at 60 cents per bushel, and an average of five bushels to the acre, never enters into the calculations of scheming politicians. | THE CARRYING TRADE AXD PRO TECTION. THE REVIEW. â€"There is a project on foot to build a branch line from Waterloo on the Grand Trunk Railway to Drayton, and thence to the Georgian Bay by way of Mount Forâ€" est or Walkerton. In the future there will surely be no lack of rival railroads and reduced tariffs. â€"The United States Government have at last after indulging in aconsiderable torrent of highâ€"fallutin‘ resolved to pay the $5,500,000 award due the Dominion of Canada on the Fishery question. . The Newfoundland _ embroglio has also proâ€" bably received its quietus by the unanswerâ€" able despaich of the British Government to Mr. Evarts, Seey. to the United States Government. â€"The Halifaz Chronicle says that it is intended to present the Hon. Mr. Mcâ€" Kenzie with a fifty thousand dollar testiâ€" monial, in consideration of his distinguished services to his party and country. No public iman is more deserving of such an expression of esteem at the hands of his fellowâ€"countrymen than Mr. McKenzic, and we hope that the movement will be prsecuted with vigour. TO OUR PATRONS. Muxicrrat Matters. â€" The coming municipal matters are beginning to exercise the minds of the electors. In Glenelg a number of candidates are already aunouncâ€" ed. In the other Townships of this Riding municipal matters are being talked up. In Proton there will be a keen contest for the offices of Reeve and Deputyâ€"Reeve, but it will be a sturdy candidate that defeats the present Reeve. Mr. Samuel Fleming,who has been in the Council a number of years, will again be a candidate for Deputyâ€"Reeve. In Melanethon, some new blood will likely be introduced, as Mr. N. B. Allin, will he run forCouncillor, and probably the present Reeve and Deputyâ€"Reeve will be reâ€"elected, as the Council this year has given much better satisfaction than the one last year did. In Osprey, Artemesia, and Euphrasia there is also a stir It is quite apparent that the completion of this line will interfere with the Stratford and Lake Huron R.R. to a certain extent, and it is equally evident, that when the proposal to give Governmentaid to the W. & G.B.R.R. comes before the Legisâ€" { lature, that the Stratford Coy. will use every means todefeat it. However it should not be forgotten, that although private individuals or corporations may apply their money in any way they may see fit, yet, when public aid is given, this must be done in the interests of the country as a whole, and not for the benefit of any one section to the injury of others. It will answer no good purpose for us to examine at the present time the respective claims of thesel rival projects for state aid, but in view of the difficulties which must stand in the way of both lines being subsidized, it is desirable that the matter be considered, so that perhaps, some scheme might be adopted by which both private and public interests would at one and the same time be subserved. And we submit that some snch scheme as that which we have inâ€" dicated, will meet the requirements of those sections of Bruce and Grey which at present are not provided with railway accomodation better than any other yet projected. Tuz Fair on Tuesday last week in Dunâ€" dalk, was well attended. â€" thing to be sold and where everything can be bought, with whom all exchanges are made and who is the world‘s banker against whom all bills are drewn, whose freights are cheaper, and whose communication is rapid, whose longâ€"established mercantile and manufacturing hbouses can give their commission agents time to make sales and exchanges,thus England will continue to be the chief commercial nation with these reâ€" publics until the disibilities of American commerce are removed." No one can gainsay the correctness of this opinion. Mr. Mountjoy is remonstratâ€" ing with his Government on the suicidal policy they are pursuing. Yet the people of Canada, with this example before their eyes, have embarked upon the same sea of folly. THE GEORGIAN BAY & WELLINGâ€" TON RAILWAY. In another column will be found a report of a meeting of the Hamilton Board of Trade on the 14th inst., at which a deputaâ€" tion appeared from the A. above Coy. The position and prospects of this Company were stated by Messrs. McKechnie and MeMullen,the President and Viceâ€"President of the Company, and by other gentlemen who were present. Mr. Adam Brown, a member of the Board of Trade, who has always shown a lively interest in any railâ€" way project which may connect the county of Grey with the city of Hamilton, then spoke strongly in favour of any assistance Hamilton could give the scheme in quesâ€" tion. Other gentlemen followed in the same strain, and finally a deputation was appointod to bring the matter before the notice of the City Council. It will thus be scen that the W. & G.B. railroad is no shadowy project, but that it has become a reality. A large sum has been contributed by the municipalities interested, a further amount has been conâ€" tributed by the shareholders, the Ontario Government has promised to give the scheme its careful consideration, and prosâ€" pects of aid ftrom Hamilton are given by prominent citizens of that city. . And we may add that some assistance, if required, would no doubt be obtained from the town of Gueiph, which, next to Hamilton, would perhaps be the most largely benefited by whe construction of this line. â€" There is thus good grounds for supposing that within a reasonable time the first section of the road, for which funds to the amount of $7000 per mile are on hand, w ll be built from Palmerston to Durkam. ‘Too much praise cannot be given to Messrs. Mcâ€" Kechnie, MceMullen, Parker, and other gentlemen, for the success which has crowned their efforts so far. But a great deal has yet to be done. It is true that the particular route northwards has not yet been definately settled upon. However, Owen Sound is the objective point on the Georg.an Bay which is regarded as the terminus of the line. _ We understand that overtures have been made privately to members of the Board otf Directors in reference to other terminal points, but noth ing of a tangible character has so far been brought forward. Indeed the advantages of Owen Sound as the terminus, are so marked that there can scarcely be any question as to the desirabllity of its being chosen. _ Among other advantages we might mention the fact, that the section of country lying to the west of Owen Sound, and known as the Peninsula, might very conveniently and cheaply receive railway service by the construction of a branch from some point, let us suppose in the township of Sullivan, on the Georgian Bay and Wellington Railway, to Wiarton ; or from Walkerton or Paisley on the main line of the Wellington, Grey & Bruce R.R. to Wiarton. In this way the northern portions of Grey and Bruce would be better provided with railway accomodation and Government railway aid would be more justly expended than by any other seheme that can be devised. among the Municipal ONTARIO TORONTO Durnax Fatr.â€"The frair held here last Tuesday, was well attended by both buyers and sellers, and there was a large number of cattle on the ground. Avything that was in good condition was quickly purchasâ€" ed. Mr. A. Hunter sold three twoâ€"year olds at $24 each. Prices were generally regarded as low. A largs number of store cattle, cows, and working oxen were offerâ€" ed, but not many sales made. Several spans of working horses were also offered for sale on the Fair Ground. A good deal of business was done in the Town during the day, anc considerable noise made toâ€" wards night by some who had too much whiskey on board. One individual was determined to have a fight with one of our Auctioneers, for simply doing his duty, but could not raise a fizz, ns the material he was trying to operate on was of too quite a nature; but if any more assaults are made in future, the parties making them will be given a chance to elucidate before his Worship. New Cnurcn.â€"A new church has been erected by the Bentinck and Glenelg Presbyterian Congregation at the Rocky Saugeen, nearly opposite the site of the old church on the Garafraxa Road. The building is of stone, with eut stone front, 50 by 86, and seated for 800 persons. The style belongs to the Modern Gothic, ard the windows which are French or Elliptic Gothic adds very much to the archetectural beauty of the building. The estimated cost is $1400. We are happy to congratuâ€" late the congregation on the energy and success with which they have prosecuted this important work, and trust that the noble example which they have set will be followed by other and far wealthier conâ€" gregations. We understand that the Rocky Saugeen Church wiil be opened on or about the 18th of December next, when the services, it is expected, will be conducted (D.V.) by Principal Cavan ot‘ Toronto, the Rev. James Cameron of Chatsworth and other local clergymen. FireE.â€"On Tuesday morning last beâ€" tween three and four o‘clock, a fire broke out in the dwelling house of Mr. George Elvidge, about halfâ€"@â€"mile south of Durâ€" ham, in Glenelg. ‘The chimney had been on fire on Monday, and Mr.~Elvidge not being very certain that the house was safe, as the chimney was a lath and plaster afâ€" fair, sat up till three o‘clock next morning, when everything appearing to be all right, he lay down and went to sleep, but in a short time he was awoke by a crackling noise, when he found the roof of the house all in a blaze. Nothing was savel buta stove, a chair or two, and the clock. The rest of the furniture and clothing was burnt. This will be a heavy loss to Mr. Elvidge, as there was no insurance on the house. About 60 bushels of potatoes were in the cellar. That the disinterested advocacy, by the "Review," of sound principles of governâ€" ment, should have provoked the attacks of our opponents, is only what might be reasonably expected. These attacks we have borne with the greatest magnanimity, and have combated as best we could. But to stifle expression ‘of enlightened opinion, can only be attempted by the Robespierres of society â€" those whose notions of political economy rise no higher than the fees of a pettifogging attorney‘s office. We have lately been favoured with peremptory orders from two individuals to "STOP MY PAPER!" The one came from & renegade radical, who was, no doubt, couscience stricken with the plain truths which havepppeared from time to time in the columns of the Review; and the other from a newly fledged M.P. not quite thirty miles from our office, who has lately, by some singular accident of fortune, been transferred to a seat in the House of Comâ€" mons â€"& trausition for which nature evidently has not fitted him, and whose head has been swerved from the perpenâ€" dicular by the process. . These incidents we cannot but regard as compliments of no }ordinur_v character, to the power of the "ReviEw" in the cause ‘of truth against error. â€" And we Lbave the satisfacton of knowing that for every such subscriber we lose, we gain twenty, and thus our career we trust, will proceed, until the "Review" becomes, as it is rapidly doing, a leading organ of public opinion in the county of Grey. #@" After the first of January, 1879, 1 intend to conduct my business entirely upon wholeâ€" sale principles, and until then I will sell only for cash or preduce, at cost.

The time is long past since for these gentlemen to have the question settled. The Warden will oblige by stating if it is necessary for the Ratepayers to memorilize the Governor for the separation. ts Sir.â€"I noticed in last week‘s msue of your paper a statement to the effect that I was about to start a butter fuctory at Enâ€" niskillen, such is not the case. However, there is a move among the farmers of that locality to establish a cheese and butter factory there next spring, upon what is known as the joint stock principle. _ Perâ€" haps it would be well for me here to state what has already been done in the matter, hoping you will give it publicity though your columns. There has been a public meeting held in what is known as Barber‘s schoolâ€"house, a little to the south of Ennisâ€" killen, at which meeting there were several resolutions passed, viz : 1st That a share should be $20. 2nd That stock should be taken to the amount of three thousand dollars. â€" About $400 in stock was at once subscribed. There was also a committee appointed, consisting of Robert Watson, of Normanby ; Robert Cochrane, of Egreâ€" mont ; and W. R. Rombough, of Durham, whose business it would be to select a site, and to arrange for holding meetings in the different neighbourhoods in which it was expected that parties would take stock. The committee has met and selected a site as above, and expect to hold meetingsâ€" ‘two on the east side of the Garafraxa Road, and two on the west. These will be held shortly after the 25th inst., Mr. Davison, an experienccd choose maker," is expected to be present and will explain the usual methods of establishing and running factories. To the Editor of the Review. Mr. Editor, Str,â€"Having read with interest an article that appeared in the last issue of your paper in which there were some reference to the butter trade as it now exists, I quite agree with the remarks therin made that from necessity there should be some change in its management, as the present system of each family manufacturing their milk into butter, then selling it to the nearest store, delivering it in prints and rolls for the after managememt of the storckeeper, to prepare it for the market by which they think they improve the quality by carefully selecting the different grades and qualities and packing, the result of which has well nigh brought rum to the producers and perhaps small profit to the merchant concerned. By this management the storeâ€" packed butter has become a complete drug in the market, and in many instances has to be sold for grease to be manufactured into oil for machinery, instead of being a wholsome article of food for man. Only think of the difference in price between buiter manufactured thus,and that produced at butter factories. Store packed butter is now selling at from six to ten cents per pound, whereas butter from the factories is in demand at from twenty to twentyâ€" five conts per pound at the same time. The Teeswater factory butter has sold for twentyâ€"five cents tor the whole summer in England netting at the factory twentyâ€"two cents per pound, and butter can be made with far less labour where they have all the most improved machinery for its proâ€" duction. Churning and cleaning dishes is heavy work for women, and by sending the milk to the factory would save much bard labour at home, for which there is little or no pay. I have been informed that Teeswater butter factory hbas more than doubled the amount of milk manuâ€" factured ench year since it came into operâ€" ation, a sufficient proof that its popularity is on the increase among its patrons. Since I heard there was likely to be a cheese and butter factory started at Enâ€" niskillen I have given the matter a careful examination which has led me to conclude that it will largely benefit the farmer, and the more I consider its merits the firmer I am convinced it should have the hearty support of all who have or can keep cows, and I for one will not take stock but will encourage others to do so. 1 look upon it as a move in the right direction,. I see no reason why there should not be a factory esâ€" tablished, and as successfully run at Enâ€" niskillen as in any part of Ontario, _ We have all the requiremonts necessary, this section of country has advantage of cold water. â€" Every farm hasits spring or springâ€" brook, so that our cattle have plenty of pure water to drink and a good supply of good nutritious grass to ent, and m eool atmosphere to livye inâ€"all of which are necessary to the production of good butter and cheese. I can see no reason why we in this locality cannot compete, and that successfully, for the higherâ€"priced butter and cheese, providing we have a factory properly managed, and I would reeomâ€" mend all farmors thatlive within a reasonâ€" able distance of Enniskillen not to take only stock, but give their aid in the manâ€" agement of the concern. Its being a success will be an acquisition to the whole section. To the Review. Cheese and Butter In What County is Shelâ€" burne 2 2 Raererpayer. Melancthon, Nov. 9th, 1878. COMMUNICATIONS.

To place the new town of Dundalk in "the centre of a great and glorious swamp" is a wholesale declarâ€" ation which I a citizen of this embryonic city, must take exception to. For instance would John Norval have so violated every instinet of his poetic nuture as to leave the Grampian hills of his native land, and seitle in a swamp ? Asaplace ofresidence even to men of the most opposite tastes and habits Dundalk and its vicinity holds out many temptations. | It partakes abunâ€" dantly of those finest features of natural seaneryâ€"wood and water, hill and dale, m all their best and most beautiful varieties.

To the Review. In common with the other members of the committee, 1 have regretted that our efforts have not yet been instrumental in liquidating the cost of ths Hat, More especially am 1 grieved at this, having just been informed that the man who constructed the Hat has recently died of /ope deferred. _A friend of mine referring to his death, writes me in the following touching manner :â€" *"‘The poor tile maker had for many weeks previous to his final collapse, dragged his wearied limbs to the postâ€"office expecting a remmittance, but rerer as much as would fill the valley of a weddingâ€"ring did he get for his trouble.

The Committee rephed, saying that panâ€"cakeâ€" timber, or dumplingâ€"dust was out of the question, in as much as the National policy was not yet defined. _ The poor emaciated dissappointed tile maker fled to his workshop to control his emotions. _ On the following day he was seen frantically pursuing every every man who seemed in a hurry and inâ€" nocently enquiring "Are you the Chairman of my Committee at Dundalk." Dissappointâ€" ed on all sides he anathematizes the world, and throws himself upn the resources of the winds for comfort. When last seen he had assumed a tragic manner and was declaiming Hamlet. _ When he uttered the words ‘There is something rotten in the state of Dundalk,‘ his great heart burst, and he sudâ€" denly expired.‘" 1 understand that Jimuel Briggs has kindly written an epitaph as follows :â€" The poor tile maker here below, Had suddenly resolved to go, Because the world had not a show, It is very evident that "Jinks" bas never viewed Dandalk from any of the neighbouring heights. Were he a landâ€" seape painter, where could he find a more favorable spot for a romantie sketch, than choosing for his point of sight the schoolâ€" house, and delineating with his pencil the benutiful seene which nature spreads out before him. The enraptured eye of the artist would not fail to perceive the stately beauty of the Tamarac denuded of the folinge by a recent fire. And had he a keen sense of the ridiculous, what could be more calculated to tickie his fancy than trying to understand the process ofequilibrium which enablles a lady and gentleman to walk side by side across the economical sideâ€"walk, which spans the water in that locality. Had "Jinks" been in a position to witness the solemn conclave which subsequently met to determiue whether the Hat should be consructed with a cotton back, and a silkâ€"nap front : or whether, regardless of all expense, it should be age»nine silkâ€"magoagin, had he been there on that momentous occassion, and witnessed for himself the great interests that were at stake ; the strong passions that were excited ; nothing would have induced him at this long interval of time to take up his pen in levity, to stir a single tibre of the glossy nap of that wow farâ€"famed and modernized Beaver. But a truce to farther speculation in this regard. And being myself a member of the Hat presentation commumittee it is perhaps my province to say a few words allusive thereto. _ Now "Jinks," though a subscriber to the Hat, was not, like myâ€" self, a member of the Committee. J was a member, and at one time I even aspired to be the chairman of the Committee. To be in a position to present a lofty plug, and perchance to preface the handing over of the stoveâ€"pipe, with a neatly constructed speech ; this was my single aim ; the very acme of my ambition. I did not atâ€" tain the chairmanship, however, but retainâ€" ed my rank on the Committee. Now Mr. Editor, could "Jinks" have beer present when the presentation of a Hat was first suggested ; could he have seen the emâ€" phatic mauner in which we all repudiated the idea of Sorks, when one of the parties present had the temerity to suggest the presâ€" entation of a pair of these useful articles of wearing appearel, in lieu of a Hat. _ No Sir. We had set our hearts upon a Hat. _ A Hat it mast needs be ; and nothing short of a veritable, fullâ€"fledged plug ! (Moral to Tile Makers.)
