The same reports for May 1, 1891, show 11l to 12 cents per dozen and marlretsteady. So much for the organ of despair. ++'+ The Local Legislature has completed its labors for this session. Nothing of awry importance has been done except that Me Mowat has asked and received. another vote of money towards the erec- tion of the uow parliament buildings, making $1,250,000 in all up to date. The estitnated cost of this new and numbly bungled Toronto ornament made by Conservative speakers in the last campaign, from two to two and one- half millions, will be found about cur- rect. a=a The arrival of the first of the Cana- dian Pacific Railway's fleet, the Empress of India, at Vancouver, ten days and some hours out from Yokohama, after a successful voyage round the world, marks another ea in the progress of Canada. The operations of this com- pany on the Pacific have been keenly watched in the United States, particu- larly in San Francisco, and the fact being demonstrated that these steamers runuing out of San Francisco, will not be pleasant infurmation for the latter city. The Rocheater Democrat insists that the two large spots ma the sun, now visible, and which have been for some days approaching each other, are indi- rectly responsible for the deaths of Count Von Moltke and other distinguished persons who have recently died from heart failure ! The sun is a near neigh- bor, only about 100 of its diameters away from us, and we feel the effect of its changing energy instantly. Perhaps the sun spots have something to do with the prevalency of la grippe. if so, thousands of sufferers will hope that they will soon move oft'. An interesting account of the tea drinking habits of the world is publish- ed by a London firm of tea brokers. At the head of the list stands Great Britain whose average annual consumption of, tea in the five years from 1885 to 1889 was 183 218,620 pounds, Next came the United States, with 79,173,100 lbs; Russia, with 70,543,866 pounds ; the Australian colonies, with 21,488,420 lbs; • and Canada, with 18,849,450 lbs. The consumption of tea in Germany, France and Austria Hungary is very small ; wine and beer are probably the every day beverages of these countries • The length of the Parliamentary sea- sion is generally estimated to be about three months, while not a tear think it will extend beyond that time, The sessions which open in the spring are. c'enerally' short ones, but, there is a large amount of private legislation to come before the present one which will necessarily prolong its length. Notice has already been given of over 130 pri- vate bills and the time for receiving more will Iikely extend to two or three weeks after the House begins sitting. Three times in all has Parliament met in April. la 1869 Parliament opened on April 15th and was prorogued an June 22nd. In 1872 the date of the opening was April 18 said prorogation was June 14th, and in 1888 the first ses- sion of the Sixth. Parliament was opened on April 13th and prorogued on June 23rd. Parliament has only twice sat into the summer months, the first being the session, of 1873, 'which closed August 13th, and the second that of the long session of 1885, when Psriiament eat from. January 29th to July 20th. The first sod of the Windsor -Detroit tunnel was turned at Windsor =Thurs- day. A few months ago another tunnel, between the United States and Canada, under the St Clair river, was finished at a cost of several million dollars. The river Niagara is spanned by three or four expensive international bridges. The Victoria tubular bridge at Mon- treat and the C. P. R. bridge over the .t Lawrence atLachine are practically etieal 1 international bridges, asthey are largely used fur international traffic. The new bridge oyer the St Lawrence at Brock- ville will be part of Mr Van Home's scheme fur getting his railway into New York. **as The collapse of "Old Hutch," tbe prince of gamblersin grain on the Chie- ago Exchange, is not without its molal, Many a matt and woman owed their ruin' to the operations of this man in unduly; forcing an increase or decrease in the' price of grain. He had been so uni- formity suceesstul in his operations that' almost everybody had Milne to regard; his judguient as iltfhllibte. But just as the moat inveterate gambler at Monte Carlo has been repotted to meet Mas; match, lose his all at a sitting, and end by preparing himself for a suicide's grave, so "Old hutch" has had his own: medicine administered to him lee has lost his millions, and he hal fled fromn the scene of his former triumphs no vine;, knuwt where. Happy the ratan who: Moa profit by the story of his experienee.4 tt Comparisons bring nut colors. They; also serve to awaken feelings of satistao•R tion or dissatisfaction. Thus the corn-' parisun of Canada with respect to hEi' ocean marine is one of which every Can• adieu who takes an interest in the re-` putetion and standing of his country, may well feel proud.

The amounts pay- able to municipalities by registrars for 1890 were about $40,000. ttt Canadians who keep in mind the vari- ous points discussed when a few years ago the temperance question was so pro- minently before the public, will not forget how the changes were rung on the related subjects, vested interests and compensation ; and how the friends of the liquor traffic steadily maintained, and the opponents as persistently denied to those who held, by the sufferance of the people, the privilege to sell intoxi- cating liquors, any right to compensa- tion in the event of that privilege being withheld. Only on the platform and by the press, however,, was the question discussed, the courts- not being invoked to decide. What in this respect was lacking on this side of the Atlautic has just been added on the other. For three years a test case, known as Sharp vs. Wakefield, has been before the Eng- lish courts. The point to be decided was, whether magistrates have unlimited discretionary powers in the granting or renewal of licenses, and by implication, whether a publican has according to law, a vested interest in his license which cannot bo taken away without compen. sation. The original discussion was against the traffic and in favor of the magistrate. Perceiving the significance of this decision and its bearing upon their trade, the liquor party appealed and traversed the case from Court of Appeal to Court of Appeal, beginning with the Westmoreland Court of Quar- ter Sessions and eading.with the Blouse of Lords, the court of last resort. In ever 'instance decision reaffirmed. DOMINION PARLIAMENT. First Session—Seventh Parlia- ment, Orrawa., .April 29, 1891. -The inaugura- tion and organization of the first session of the seventh Parliament of Canada took place to -day. though the formal opening was delayed consequent upon the fact that the Conunons was without a Speaker. A greater gathering of parliamentarians never graced the capital. Indisputably, never sines con. :federation has au opeuiug been made with 106 members. present out of .a possible 213. Attlaree o'clock the Comtnoner s, baviug been duly sworn in, were summoned to the Sen- ate Chamber, and the Speaker of the Senate said: The lion. Sir. William Johnstone Ritchie, Deputy Governor, does not see fit to declare tbe causes of summoning the present Parliament of Canada until a Streaker of the House of Commonssball have been chosen ac- cording to law; but to -morrow, at the hour of 3 o'clock iu the afternoon. bis excellency the Crovernor-General will declare the causes of his calling this Parliament. This concluded the proceedings in the Senate; the common- ers returned to their owu chamber, and the Upper House adjourned. In the Commons, Six John Macdonald, addressing the Cleric of the house, Ur.Bourin�ot, formally pro- posed Mr. Peter A., White, P. tor Renfrew, as Sealer. .lir Heeler Laangeviu seeouded the motion, and after a few remarks from Mr. Laurier, the motion was utetuitnously earliest Mr. Speaker was escorted to the dais by bis mover and seconder, anti tender- ed bis %banks to tbe House.

Tile season iu which you are assembled bas opened auspieiously for the industries of our people. Let us bops that their labors may be crowned with fruitful returns front land and sea, and that the great resources of Canada may continue to reward the toil and outarprite of its inhabitants. My advisers, availing themselves of oppor- tunities which were presented in the clo lug months of last year, caused the administra- tion of the United States to be rouliuded of the wiliingnessof the Government of Canada to join in making- efforts for the extension and development of the trade between the republic and the Dominion, as well as for the friendly adjustment of those matters of an international character which mania un- settled. I am pleased to say that these re- presentations have resulted in an assurance that, iu October next, the government of the United States will bo prepared to enter on a conference to consider the best means of arriving at a practical solutiou of these im- portant queetious. The papers relating to this subject will be laid before you. Under these circumstances, and in the hope that the proposed conference may re- sult in arrangemeuts beneficial to both eouutries, you will be called'upun to consid- er the expediency of extending, for the pre- sent season, the principal provisions of the protocol annexed to the Washington Treaty, 1888, known as the "Modus Vivendi." A disposition having been manifested in the United Kingdom to impose on sea -going ships engaged in the cattle trade increased safeguards for life and greater restrictions against im- proper treatment, a careful enquiry has been made as to the incidents of that trade in so fur as this country is concerned. The evi- dence elicited onthe enquiry will laid before you. While I am glad to learn that our shipping is free from reproach in that regard, your attention will be invited to a measure whicb will remove all reasonable aprebensions of abuses arising in the future lu connection with so important a branch of our commerce. The early coming into force of the imperial statute relating to the Vice-Admirality Courts of the empire has made it necessary to revise the laws in force in Canada respecting our courts of maritime jurisdiction, and a measure will, therefore, be ]aid before you de- signed to reorganize those tribunals. A code of the criminal law has been pre- pared in order that that branch of our juris- prudence may be simplified and improved, to which your best attention is invited. Measures relating to theforeshores of theDo- minion and to the obstruction of its navigable waters will be submitted to you, and you will also be asked to consider amendments to the Acts relating to the North-west terri- tories, to the Exchequer Court Act, and to the Acts relating to the trade marks. Gentlemen of the House of Commons: The accounts for the past year will be sub- mitted to you. The revenue, after provide ing for the services to which you appropri- ated it, has left a surplus for the works which you designed to be carried on by capitf al expenditure. • • The estimates for the coming year will 'be laid before you at an early date. Honorable Gentlemen of the Senate: • Gentlemen of the House of Commons: I pray that in the consideration of these matters, and iu the performance of all the labors which will devolve on you,,your de- liberations may be divinely aided, and that your wisdom and patriotism may eularge the prosperity of the Dominion and promote in every way the well being of its people. The Commons then returned to their chamber and the usual routine business: was concluded at 3:30, when the House adjourned. OTTAWA, May 1, 1891. -The Speaker took the chair at 3 o'clock. Mr. Tease (in French) moved the address in reply to the speech from the throne. Mr.. Corbould . madethe seconding speech, and the debate was con- tinued by Hon. W. Laurier, Sir John Mac- donald, Sir Richard Cartwright, Hon. Mr,. Foster, Hon. David Mills and Mr. Charlton moved the adjournment of the debate. At 11:10 the House adjourned. Mr. McCarthy on Friday night gave notice of a bill which will .doubtless, cause con: sidcrahle perturbation in Quebec. It is to, amend the North-west Territories Act, and has two objects: (1) to repeal the dual language clause; (2) to amend the separate schools clause by giving the territories pow- er to deal with schools free from any limi- tations.
