Honorable Gentleman of the Senate, and fjentlun„auof the House of Commons; In meeting the Parliament of Canada for the first time, I desire to express the gratilietktiou' I felt at having been selected by Her Majesty for the high and important eine() I now fill, and to assure you of the great satisfaction with which I now seek your aid and oo•oper. ation iu acknowledging, with profound gratitude, the reception which has been aceordt.d to lnyeelf as Her Majesty' representative. 1 am alto commanded by the Queen to convey, through you, to the"people of Canada her thank.; for the loyal, generous and kindly manner in which they have welcomed her daugh- ter The contribution of Canadian pro- d not s and inantifao t res to the great National Exhibition tat Paris, last year, attracted touch attent#on, and, it is bp. !laved, will have to beaefieial effect.. the trade of the Dominion with Europe. I congratulate' you. on the success which roust in no tanirtll • degree be at. tribntabte to the kind and unceasing exertions of His Royal Highness the Prince of Waists as Preeident of the Britian ,Section. The report of the Canadian Cominiseiouere will be laid before you when received - I aurpleased to inform yon that the amount awarded fur the fishery claims under the.Waehington Treaty has been paid by the Ueitect States, and that EIer Mlajesty's Government has arrang- ed with Canada and Newfoturdlaud for their respective shares of the award. The pepers on the subject shall be sub- mitted to you. The important and rapidly increasing trade betweeu Canada and England iu live cattle has been seriously threatened by the appearance in various parts of the United States of pleuro•pnenmonitt. In order to prevent the contagion from spreading to Canada, and the conse- quent interruption of the trade, I have caused au order to be issued, under the A. timal Contagious Diseases Act of 1869, prohibiting the importation or introduction Into the Dominiun of American cattle for a short period. It is hoped that, the disease willrbe ex- tinguished in the United States, and the necessity for continuing the prohib- ition removed. Your attention will be invtt. d to an amendment of Lite Act I have just referred to. My Government has commenced negotiations, with Her Majesty's sane- tioti, for the development of the trade of Canada with France and Spain, and with respective colonies. . I hope t.o b able to lay before you the result of these negotiations during the present session. It ite the pnrpose of my Government o press forth a most vigorous protium - ion of the Canadian Pacific Railway, nal to meet the reasonable expectations f British Columbia. In carrying out his intention, due regard must be had o the financial positionof the country. Communication by rail has-been ef- eoted between Manitoba and the United tater system of railways, by the juno- ton at Si.' Vincent of the. Pembina ranch of our railway with the St. an) and Pacific Railway, That .por- ion of the main line which extonde •orn English River toKeewatin, is now eing placed under eontraot, and will nereetioally be. ptlslIed to completion; r order to secure as rapilly ns possible he connection between Lake Superior nd the great Northwest. N O S P t ft b e it a A. Bill for the amendment and: cen• solidation of the Acte relating to stamps shall be submitted for your attention, as. well ae a measure amending the.1aot lilting to weights and measn.res. ,The ;leer ilnittl census intii+1 be talon), 1881. I think it expedient uloid a measurefor the purpose should be peev- ed during the prevent session,. in order to give ample time for the preparation of alt the preliminary arrangements, and to ensure the census being taken its accurately and inexpensively as pos- sible. Iu connection with this subject it rutty be well to consider the propriety of providing some meatus for the collec- tion and collation of vital, criminal an, general statistics. A Bill will be laid before yon for the rearrangement of some of the Depart. meats of the Government, and also measures relating to the aurvey and management of the Dominion lanais, the Mounted :Police, and to the Post Office Department, and alio for the amendment in some parttoulare of the laws relating to the Indiaue. A. nletteure will also be submitted to you for vestiug in Her Majesty, for the Use of the Dominion, certain Ordnance and Admiralty lands iu the Provinces of Nova Scotia and New Brunewick. Gentlemen of the House of Commons:— The estimates for the ensuing year will be laid before you at au early day. They have been prepared with as great to economy as is compatible with re- gard the efficiency of the public service.. I regret that the receipts in the 'I'reas- nry, from ordivary sources, continue to be inadequate to meet the charges :against the cousolidated reveune. You will agree with mein the opinion that it is not desirable that our finances should remain in thin condition. By the application of the strictest e enemy to the public expenditure, and by the readjustment of tariff with the view of increasing the revenue, and at the same time of developing and encouraging the various industries of Canada, you will, I trust, be enabled to rest. re the equili- brium between the revenue and expert. cliture, and to aid in removing the corn• iuercial and financial depression which unhappily continues to exist. I have directed that the public ac - 0(413)4 of tile past financial year shall be laid before you. Hon. Gentleman of the Senate, and Gortleman of too House of Commons :— Parliament has recognized the im- portance of providing for the safe de- posit of the surplus earnings of the people by arranging for their being placed with the Guverutnent at a fair rate of interest. It may be welt for you to consider how far is is practicable to give a like security and encouragement to per sons who may desire by an insur- ance upon their lives to make provision for those dependent upon them. Your best attention will, I doubt not, be given to the important alibi: ate I have alluded to, and to the general in- terests of the country.

Perth Items. TIDED PABLrA3xENT-1roliaTH SESSION. Toronto, February 1r. ---After - rou- tine, in reply to. Mr. Bit l ter, who asked whether it is the inteutltm of the (.*ov ernment to introduce, during the Pres• eat Hessian, a measure following the ex ample of Englsud for the. purpose ot assuming the entire management and eentrol, of the common jails 'of tate Province, as reoontmeonded by the I11- spector of Aslutns and Prisons in his report of last year. The Attnruey-General said it was not the intention of the Government to do so. Mr. Meredith moved the second read- irlg of the hilt to amend the ] L'.uiuip•al Act. He said. the pnrpose of the bill was to relieve the Goverutnent from difficulty and to prevent Iuspeotore and Commissioners of Liceuees holding seats in muuicipal eonneils. lie pointed out that several oases had oeourrod— for example, iu Etat Middlesex. Both- well, Keret, Edwardsburg and Welling- ton. The Atterney-General, while he saw no fault in the present system, had no objections to the bill passing. Dlr. Creighton thought the bill was necessary,. Mr. Scott said the bill no doubt re- flected the original intention ot the (iravernmeut at the time of its passage. The bill was, after. some further re• marks, read a second time. After, recess rue House went into committee of supply. • On the item $131, 850 for legislation, Mr. Scott took exception to the sum of $1,500 far the Sneaker's eatery, as in the estimates. Clue, thousand dol- lars was, he considered, quite euongh. Mr. Creighton objected to 1,000 be- ing applied to the Clerk of the Crown in Chancery. • Mr. Morris said that as a new mem• ber he could speak 'irrespective of what 'had oppeared upon the fluor of the Chamber before the past few years, and he could speak impartially.

To consolidate the debt of Middlesex. On motion to read a second time the bill respecting Public), Separate and High Schools, Mr. Crooks eulogized the educational system of the country, and especially referred to the good exhibits made at Philadelphia and Paris. Hav- iug noticed at some length the advau• taxes arising from the prevailing sys- tem of education in the Province, the hon. member# poiuted out that under our present system 81 per tout. of the population were in the third class, whish gave a good'elernentary education. This was at itself a good shot. He pro- posed to place a check upon Sehoul Boards, exoollent as they were, and give due power to municipal authorities. It VMS absolutely necessary that eco- nomy should be instituted and an un- due expenditure should be avoided. Without this our system would break down. He pointed out taint the fullest liberty of a)usoience Was permitted, al- though scholars in the Public Schools lacked the elements of a religious educa- tions. Having alluded to Separate Seboo's, the hon. member said the bill proposed to make tate the Separate Schools run more easily, and to treat them as a component Hart of the Pub- lic Schottle, Ile wits iu favor of a uni- form system of 00001 rating, and a better aystetn of the custody of the school fluids.
