In the Legielstur. ou Tuesday Mr. I $..rue tine ago Rev. 1)r. Wastes,
Clarke, M. PP. for Wes Torcasio, ;curate of tit. Gourge•s cathedral, King-
sfr.ugly urged the Ilo.rrnraent to at stun, ideut.tird himself with the work-
ing of the 'salvation army in that city.
This action of the cu...to did not suit the
aristocratic Christian tedious of his su-
periors to the church, and at a certain
stage It was smgwted to him that Lis
lwrgoatiuu would be accepted at linearly
day. The questa scut in his resignation
accordingly and received his dismissal
from Bishop Lewis. Now what is the
head and front of 1)r. Wilson's offending,
according to the statement of Isis pert -
tutors i Simply that he has seen tit to go
out upon the highways and assist those
who ,were endeavoring to cumfurt the
poor and the afflicted and rear up the
taller.
This did not suit the high-toned
Christianity of the Kingston "chapel -of -
ease" dignitaries, and hence the removal
of the man who had dud to be seen at
religious exercises with publicans and
MOOS make an appropriation for the cos-
atrucuoa of new parliament buildings in

to the undertaking was made by the

Financiers and banking men thn.ugout

remarks • f Sir Lenard, and claim that
a grave error has been c••mmitteti by him
which needs immediate rectifying. The
utterance .1 a Finance Minister c.trry

warmth of debate should have run away
with the statesman's characteristic cau-
1' is a ,utter generally deplore.!
What annoys bankers most is the rash
and unfounded statement that certain
banks might be called upon to redeem
their circulation, • theory claimed by
some to be as wild as it u impossible.
Mr. C. F. 14wsithers, of the Bank of
Mustitsl, in that city, said he believed
the sttillewiets MOO made as • subter-
fuge to make the Governments case, in
the matter .4 honing funds to the crip-
pled Ezclange bank, as strong asrou-
ble. Mr. O. Hague, of the Merchants
Bank, Montreal, tsouoht the remarks
were probably not accurate. If Sir
Leonard was correctly' reported, he had
only to say that the speech was very in-
ljudicious. Other gentlemen in the saute
ine expensed themselves as mimed at
the Minister's "tuulish.' utterances. Mr.
James McLaren, president of the Bank
of Ottawa, characterized them as "rii-

thought, should unite in the endeavour
to counteract the evil effects of sueh

The bankers of the Ambitious City are
fully as outspoken in regard to theseran 0.
nese of Sir Leonard Tilley's remark..
The Ministerss excuses, were, in the
opinion u( the majority. fallacious in the
extreme and cakulated t-• harm the
money market. it is generally believed
that the safety of the bunks had little
weight with Sir Leonard Tilley when he
came to the rescue of the Exchange
Bank. It is stated that Canadian bank
bills in Buffalo have been refused, owing
to 8ir Leonard Tilley's remarks.
TORONTO BANICRM AND TOR *PRECIS.
Mr. Yarker, manager .f the Bank of
Montreal, in this city, on being shown
the obnoxious paragraph, said he did
not wish to discuss the subject, and the
less sad about such matters the better.
Sir Leonard Tilley's remarks resolved
tbem•eltes into two points, whether any
bank could be forced to liquidate in a
day, and whether it was to discuss the
question. He thought the banks are
perfexly sound, and do not require to
be "written up," no matter what is said
about thein.

said "that the remarks of the Minister of
Finance were uejust, unfounded, and
uncalled tor. S, far as our loot! banes
are concerned there is not one in my

Mr. Bethune of the Dominion Bank,

The other baiik managers were equal-

ConesmaTs, Feb. 9. -The impression
that a large tract of the city is covered
by water is erroneous, and the portion
subinergd except in the suburbs, is not
much used fur rersAencee. The main
residences and business portion of the
city stands on high ground far out of
the reach of the highest flood.
Arrangetueota for preserving the peace

are the police more watchful but they
are reinforced by 100 militia who patrol
the streets at night.
