He had, he said, been requested by Mr. McLennan to adopt the latter‘s bill, which had alâ€" ready received its second reading, as a Government measure, in view of the unlikelihood that a private member‘s bill would pass at this late period of the session. _ He had looked into the matter and found that although he was not able to accept Mr. McLennan‘s bill in its entirety, or to adopt it as a Govâ€" ernment measure, hbe could introduce a bill which might meet the necessiâ€" ties of the case. It was not possible to ‘p:tss the bill during the present session, but its introduction would enable it to ‘be brought Lefore the various dairy meetings and conventions to be held during the fall, when the details could be threshed out.

There were two events which will likely play an imâ€" portant ‘Part in the development of our Northâ€" West. One was the rapid fillâ€" ing up of the fertile belt of the United States, which must result in an exâ€" tensive overflow to this side of the line. This was already taking place, and there was a steady current â€" now coming over. The other phenomenon likely to take place was that before long the United States would become a vast market for the suxl'f)lus wheat of the Northâ€"West. He believed that the Government would have the supâ€" port of both sides of the House in carrying out a vigorous immigration policy. Notes of Proceedings in the Canaâ€" dian House of Commons.

As wife, as mother, as the head of the family, as the bead of a Court, Her Majesty has always laid down the strictest rules for the ggrformance of duty and required the highest code to be observed in morality. The sorrows It is not alone as a constitutional monarch that Her Majesty the Queen commands the admiration of the world. Rightly does she receive homage for her character in the respect just referrâ€" ed to, but other of her predecessors have ruled constitutionally and yet have not commanded the esteem or affection of their subjects. _ â€" > _ ; " THREE SHILLINGS TO PAY," that being the postags at the time. Now, for less than the fourteenth part of three shillings, a letter can be sent, not alone to England, but to Australia. Space forbids a recapitulation of all that has been accomplished in the way of progress within the last sixty years for at no period in the history of Engâ€" land, not even the Elizabethan era, have so many marvellous changes,both in church and state been effected. _ . During her Majesty‘s reign she has had thirteen Parliaments, the fourâ€" teenth now being assembled, and twenty Ministries. Her Prime Ministers have been Lord Melbourne, Sir Robert Peel, Lord John Russell twice, Earl of Derby, who was thrice the Queen‘s adviser ; Lord Aberdeen, Viscount Palmerston, on two occasions ; Mr. Disraeli, like the last named, also twice; Mr. Gladstone for no less than four times, the only subject who has attained such a disâ€" tinction ; Earl Rosebery and the Marâ€" quis of Salisbury, who now for the tplird time directs her Majesty‘s Counâ€" cil. Sixty years ago the civil service of England was simply a gigantic system of outdoor relief for the relatives, deâ€" pendents and friends of members of Parliament. Since Her Majesty began her happy reign, postal facilities have been increased to a degree which the grandfathers of the present generaâ€" tion scarcely dreamt of. An old enâ€" velope, in sight as this is written, conâ€" taining a letter sent from Great Briâ€" tain to this country in 1888, is marked The changes in England have been as great if not greater than those in this country. Sixty years since the Corn Laws were unrepealed, the franâ€" chise was restricted, close boroughs abounded, while bribery and corrupiion flourished at all elections to a degree that is not possible now to imagine. In addition to this religious liberty had by no means been effected. At the Uniâ€" versities of Oxford, Cambridge and Dubâ€" lin the Fellowships and higher degrees were withheld from everyone, it matiâ€" tered not how distinguished their academical career might have been, who could not, or would not, subscribe to the Thirtyâ€"nine Articles of the Church of England. <pae,s! * A The Wonderful Changes Which Have Taken Place in the British Empire During That Timeâ€"Mer Reign Never Tainted by Scandalâ€"*"God Save the Queen." Her Majesty, the Queen of England, Empress of India, on September 24th, reigned longer than any of her predeâ€" cessors, or than any but two monarchs known in history. The Queen‘s grandâ€" father, George III., occupied the throne for fiftyâ€"nine years three months and four days; his granddaughter has toâ€" day passed that period by just twentyâ€" four hours, and there is every human probability that she will attain to the full sixty years. 4 During the Queen‘s long and happy reign Canada, which in 1837 was only an aggregation of uninfluential proâ€" vinces, has become a nation, strong in its own resources, and iniluential throughout the world. Australia, in 1887, was little more than a convict station, now it is. A POWEREFUL NATION, while New Zealand, Tasmania and the Cape of Good Hope have made giant strides in progress, polilically, socially and financially. that have occurred in the Victorian era. In 1837 Canada had no representaâ€" tive institutions worthy of the name, personal government was in the asâ€" cendancy, while corruption in high laces was more than hinted at. "We gave changed all that," since then, and have no wish to revert to the former evil condition of affairs. India in 1837 was ruled by the East India Company, a commercial underâ€" taking ; now the misdeeds of ‘"John Company," and its flagrant corrupâ€" tion, are all but forgotten in the beneâ€" ficient rule of Victoria. _ Alas, though, it took the awful lesson of the Mutiny of 1857 and 1858 to dethrone the Comâ€" A journey from Quebec to Liverpool at the beginning of her Majesty‘s reign was rarely accomplished in less than six weeks, as the great majority of people who visited the mother counâ€" try preferred to do so by sailing vesâ€" sels, steam at that period being but little used. tion by Mr. Davin, in connection with the estimates of his department, said tgal;a.n :)lxl'der-in-(‘ounc}l had been passâ€" ed for the p of organizing a board to sit at g'mnipeg for the setâ€" tlement of the grain standards.

IT IS LONGER THAN ANY OF HER PREDECESSORS. pany. What wonderful changes has the world seen in her Majesty‘sâ€" reign. Inâ€" land travel bhas been improved in a marvellous degree by the development of railways; a man may now breakâ€" fast at 7 a.m. in Toronto, dine in Montreal at 6 p.m., anda be in Quebec to sieep a few hours later. In 1837 the journey in summer tould have taken two days and a bhalf, in winter at least a week. Nowadays a person can leave Queâ€" bec for Liverpool, and in eight days reach the latter port. But improved means of travel is only one of the many THE QUEEN‘S LONG REIGN _ ONTARIO ARCH TORONTO MARVELLOUS CHANGES The Chronicle says:â€"We have reaâ€" son to believe that avsatisfactory setâ€" tlement of the Venezuelan question has been arrived at, and that an arbitration treaty is imminent.

The higher prices of wheat are encouraging to farmers, and the increased movement of produce is being felt in slightly improved payâ€" ments. Country merchants are buying cautiously and stocks of merchandise are not large, a very good feature. Cotâ€" ton goods are firm in prices, while woolâ€" lens remain steady.. Business in groâ€" ceries is fairly active»s There is a good deal of local competition in sugars, with sales of granulated at 4¢c. Dried fruits firm and currants in limited supply. Hardware dealers report a fair trade, with little change in prices. The Bank of England raised its discount rate to 3 per cent. The withdrawals of specie from this bank were nearly five milâ€" lions of dollars within the week,.

Specuâ€" lation is quiet on the domestic exâ€" changes, and prices firm as a rule, Up to 3 a.m. three bodies have been found in the ruins of the theatre, and fears are entertained that the search which is being actively carried on will result in the discovery of others. .

What will suit Manchester<the largest butter market in England) will not suit London; 2. Choicest butter is always in demand here. 3. It must be shipped once or twice a week, and to do the trade properly we would need to have fast steamers leaving {our sides on Satâ€" urday nights, to enable us to have the butter here on Monday for our market on Tuesday.
