Honorable Gentlemen of the Senate, G entle- men01 the House of Oommone :-- I now leave you to disoborge the important duties devolving upon you, with an earnest prayer that, being guided by the spirit of wisdom and patriotism, your deliberations may, under the Divine blessing, conduce to the unity and well- being of Canada. IN - TILE HOUSE. The opening'proceedings of the House developed nothing outside of the ordinary routine except the fact that the Hon. G. E. Foster took charge of the House on the Government side. It has been well understood that he would do so, and so of course the afternoon's proceedings were of a preparatory character.' Apart from the routine the main topic of conversation was the Haldimand elec- tion. It was agreed on all sides that Dr. Montague would be elected, barn one supposed that his majority would be such ae it was, and this formed a never failing pause . of conversation in the corridors and in the House among the witnesses who did not choose to go to the Senate Chamber while the Governor-General was reading the speech. In the Commons the only feature opt. side of ,the regular tousle° was the foot that the deelts of the late Sir John Thompson and of F. Geoffrion were laden with flowers, lilies of the valley and smilax predominating. Hon. Mr, Foster conducted the preparatory portion of the House proceedings, and eo made his first appearance ae the recognised leader of the Conservative party in the House ; but this was discounted to a certain extent by the fact that he led. the House last session after Sir John Thompson's de- parture for England The whole of the afternoon's proceedings were of a routine character. The speeches of the mover and seconder of the address—Mr. Bennet and Mr. Leclaire—were given Friday afternoon. At the session of the Dominion Par. liament, W. F. Maclean, M. P., will in- troduce a bill to prohibit railway com- panies from employing any person as engine driver who has not been employed for at least five years as fireman on a locomotive engine ; or as conductor who has not been employed for at least five years as brakeman. It is also designed that the bill eball make it unlawful for a railway to ase any locomotive engine that ie not equipped with an air -brake in proper working order, or to tun any train a suffiuieot number of oars of which are not so equipped with an air•brake Wba pray'd that you'd be guid an' great, An' no' loee grup o' Heaven's estate, Wha'll'meet you first at FFlsaavven s gate 1 DOMINION PARLIAMENT. Thursday at three o'clock p. m., His Excellency the Governor-General pro- ceeded in state to the chamber of the Senate in the Parliament Buildings, Ot- tawa, and took his seat upon the tbrone. The members of the Senate being areem- bled, His Excellency was pleased to com- mand the attendance of the House of Commons, and that House being present, His Excellency was pleased to open the fifth session of the seventh Parliament of the Dominion of Canada with the fol- lowing 'speech SPEECH FFOtt THE 0000NE. Honorable Gentlemen of the Senate, Gentle- men of the House Of Commons It is with much satisfaction that I again have recourse to your advice and assistance in tba administration of the that the engine driver on the locomotive affairs of the Dominion. can control its speed without the assist. By the sudden and lamented death of the late Right Hon. Sir John Tbompson, Canada bus unstained a grievous loss. The deep and heartfelt sympathy express- ed by Her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen, and the manifestations of sorrow with wbioh the distressing intelligence was received throughout the Empire, as well as the tokens of esteem an resp everywhere paid to the memory of ibe deceased statesman, have been gratefully appreciated by the people of Canada. Satisfactory assuraooes having been received from Her Mojesty's Government respecting the interpretation of certain clauses in the treaty of commerce with France, ratifications will be exchanged as soon as the necessary legislation has been weed. The recent action of the Imperial Par Ramon t, enabling the various Australasian governments to enter into preferential trade relations with the other self govern- ing colonies of the Empire, affords grat. Hying proof that the suggestions of the Colonial Conference are being favorably entertained by Her Majesty's Govern• melt. In conformity' with a recent judgment of the Lords of the Judical Committee of the Privy Connoil, to the effect that the diseentieut minority of the people of Manitoba have a constitutional right of appeal to the Governor-General-inCoon. oil against cadmic acts passed by the Legislature of the Province of Manitoba in relation to the subject of edneation, I have heard in council the appeal, and my decision thereon has been communicated to the Legislature of the said Province. The papers on the subject will be laid be- fore you. The depression in trade which has pre- vailed throughout the world for the past few years has made itself felt in Canada, but fortunately to a lees degree than in most other countries. Although this has not resulted in any considerable de. crease in the volume of our foreign trade, yet, owing to low prices and recent re. duotions in and removal of taxation, it has been followed by a serious deorease in revenue derived from customs and excise. In order to produce equilibrium between revenue and expenditure for the coming year, it will be necessary to ob- serve the greatest possible economy in the appropriations for the various bran. bites of the publio servico. During theperiod that has elapsed Since the last aeasion of Parliament I have had an opportunity of. visiting many portions of the Dominion, including the Maritime Provinces, Manitoba, the Northweet and Ilribish Columbia. Throughout these tome I have been impressed and gratified by naatifeebaticne of an abouodingioyalty, and .public spirib; and notwithstanding the phase of trade depression already re- ferred to, I observed everywhere unmts' takahle ague of that confident hopefulness in the future, based on a thorough belief in the g,reatneee of the resources of Can. ads, which le one of the eharaotetistiee 01 her people, and which furnishes a, good augury and pbedgo of further development and progress, MACIUFAC TUF11D.

The business of the Legislature was wound up on Thursday evening, and the House was prorogued on Tuesday after- noon of last week. The delay was taus• ed by the necessity of all the Bille being printed before receiving the assent of the Lieutenant Governor. 5050E11 .OUR PIiOVINOIAL COMM. A resolution has been paned by She House recommending the limiting of the jurisdiofion of the Supreme Court of the Dominion, as far as Ontario is concerned, to certain important pleases of cases, such as interprovincial disputes and con- stitutional questions, and to suits involv- ing at least $5,000. NEW AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE BUILDING. The Supplementary estimates oonbain a $10,000 item for the erection of an experimental building at the Ontario Agrioulturel College. It is to provide accommodation for the teaching of chem- istry and bacteofology, and to allow of the re -arrangement of the class rooms to relieve an over -crowded condition caused by larger attendance of students, the ex- tension of the subject of chemiatry to fleet year classes and the general enlarge- ment of the college's work. The building had been asked for in the reports of the President of the College for several years. The Manhood Registration Bill was limited so as to apply only to County' Towns for the present. A Committee on Fine Arte, of which the Speaker is a member. has been ap• pointed by the Legislature to expend a stated sum every year on the purchase of meritorious paintings by Oanadian satiate, with which to decorate the in- terior of. the Parliament buildings. The House unanimously pledged itself to contribute $7,100 towards the expenses of the British Association, should it ao. Dept the invitation to hold its annual meeting iu Toronto in 1007. A Girl's Essay on {Ironton. "Boys are man that have not got as big as their pupas, and girls are women that will be ladies by and by, Man was made before women. When God looked at Adam, He said to Himself :—"Well, I think I can do better if I try again." And he made Eve. Boys aro a trouble.. They wear out everything but soap. If I had my way the world would be girla and the teat dolls, My papa is so eke that I think he must have been a little girl when he wag a little boy. Man was made and Oil the seventh day he rested.
