FRIDAY.
`, he
had
e explained: than
Su George. Cartier xp
been misrepresented as not blaming a insur- `
gents at Red River, on which, Hon. r. MC -
Dougall declared that such opinion on Sir
George held were what he (Mr. McDo gall) had.
always iven him credit for ; " That a took a
broad Canadian mid not a sectional. v'ew, &c ;"
and then went onto point out the uns tisfactory
accommodation for the nese spaper repor ors in the
House. He urged✓ in a brief, but very practical
speech, the importance that the gentl men tak-
ing notes should be in a position to hear what
was said clearly. The hon. gentleman l then° en-
tered into a long defence of his-cenduc at Mani-
toulin Island.
After a few words from Sir. John A. Macclon
aid,: Mr. Mackenzie said he thought there was .a
disposition to make Mr. McDougall .e scape
goat of this Manitoulin business, and c mmented
on the rather curious fact that the at acks had
come from Government " or:ens."
Sir John A. Macdonald protested a ainst the
Government being held responsible for what any
newspaper said. He for one had a particular

rather cruel, but not very wonderful certainly,.

reading on Tuesday. : ir John expl ined that
the Supreme Court Bill would have been ready
but that both the .Tudges and .Bar of New Bruns
wick had sent him suggestions requiring .grave
consideration. These documents, he said, in
answer to Mr. Blake, would be presented with
the Bill.
Hon. Mr. Langevin moved to bring in a Bill
extending.the powers of the Dominion rbitrator.
A brief conversation "ensued, 'in ;the course oc
which Mr. Young ami Mr. Mackeizie poke, and
Mr. Blake elicited the fact. that th duty of
awarding compensation to persons inju ed by ac-
cidents on Government railways woul1 devolve
upon their Arbitrators.
Mr. Mackenzie then moved fi,r is
concerning the claims of the Iroquis of the Two
Mountains district, .and expressed the hope- that.
the attention of the Ministers of Pub is Works
would be turned to the subject. He anted also
to know whether there were any r serves to

erable research and legal knowledge.
After Mr. Stirton had asked a question res-
pecting the accounts between. Ontario and Quebec,
Mr. Jones moved for a statement as to certain
charges in relation to the Intercolonial Railroad.
He referred to the public opinion respecting. al-
leged extravagance and incompetency in con-
nection with the construction of the' road, and
Sir John Macdonald consented to produce the

be accepted 'as indicating Mr. Young's senti-
ments. . -
Mr.. Mackenzie reminded. Sir John A. Mac-
donald of a promise given last session that the
speeches then made, on Banking and Currency
should be printed. He wanted to know if this
had beendone, and hoped they would be publish-
ed at once. Sir John A. Macdonald had forgot-
ton -ills promise, and it was pretty clear that the
engagement had fallen through.
Sir John A. Macdonald, after first telling Mr.
Mackenzie, in reply to a question, that Mr, Ran-
kinhadnot, as was re rted been sent on a
mission to the North-West by the Government,
moved the. third reading of the OanadianFisheries
and. Sick and Distressed Mariners' Bills, which
were respettis'ely ordered to be brought.up for a
second reading on Thursday and Friday next:
Mr. Cartwright called attention to the absence
of several Bank returns from ,Nova Scotia, es-
pecially noting the negligence of the N. S. Bank
of Commerce in this respect. He was told by
Sir Francis Hincks that tae (Sir Francis) hoped to
lay the returns on the table immediately.
Hon. Mr. Holton asked the Finance Minister
whether the resolutions en Banking and Currency
would be in the hands of members before the de-
bate, and was assured they el ould have them
some hours in advance.. After formal motion
from Sir John A. Macdonald respecting the
North-West papers, the House -rose.
TUESDAY.
The discussion of the new Banking Scheme en -
gagged the attention of the House, exclusively.
It is a re -hash of the Galt antiose schemes of
ast Sessions -'coupled with an a tempt to make
the dote a little less nauseous tothe Banking In
stitutigns.
The Scheme is to be compulsory on all Banks
ou the existing ones when their present charters
expire, or sooner, if they desire --and on all new
ones at once, as the condition of their receiving
Acts of Incorporation,
No 13afikis to have a less capital than $1,000,-
090. `
No Bunk is to issue notes for circulation under
The note circulation of no Bank is to exceed its
paid-up capital.
The double responsibility p'ovision now exist-
ingas to holders of Bank stoe t is to remain—and
to be enforced at the expiry o six months from
the failure of any Bank. Shareholders who
transfer their Estock within three months preced
ing Bank's failure are to be held liable under
this clause to the creditors.
The total liability of no Bank is at any time to
exceed the amount of its specie 'and greenbacks
on hand and three times its paid-up capital.
Suspension of specie -payments for 90 days is to
constitute, as heretofore. an act of bankruptcy,`
and to involve forfeiture of the Bank's charter.
No dividends exceeding eight per cent. per -
annum are to be paid by any y Bank, until a Re-
serve Fund of 20 per cent of its capital has been
accumulated. U
Lists of al'. Bank shareholders are to be published
annually.
No President, Vice -President, or Director
of any Bank is to hold less than $5,000 of stock
in the Bank he represents -anti the aggregate
stock held by the whole Board of any Bank shall
never be less than - five per cent of the en-
tire capit it of the Bank.
Provision is made for fuller monthly bank
statements, and for the punishment of misstate-
ments in them.
No Bank is to make advances on its own stock,
but the -existing lien held by the . Banks on the
stock of their customers is to continue.
Batik capital is not to be impaired by dividends
out of capital—and when it is reduced by losses,
the share holders are to make it up by payments
pro -rata on their stock.
All Banks are to receive their own notes at par
for debts due them.; but they can only be -called
on to pay out specie for their notes at the place
where they are made payable.

Downward,

'mo with-
general as
ness to which the former referred iii a
correspondence. Mr. Blake confirme�
and, the motion being adopted,, the H
ly afterwards adjourned.
MONDAY.
The Hon Mr. Langevin told` Mr. ivard, in
answer to a question, that the Gover ent would
apply for an appropriation for new ost Office
at Quebec, for which i egotations were in a for-
ward state. Mr. Magillasked whether the Gov-
ernment would provide means for the enlarge-
ment of the St. Lawrence afid Welland Canals,
and at the request of Sir John A. Macdonald
agreed to repeat the question on Thursday. Mr.
Burp .e wanted to know whether the vernment
would take steps to obtain a report c f the prac-
ticability
of a St. Lawrence: and Bay of Fundy
Canal ; but the Minister told him they had re-
ports enough on that subject already. Mr Godin
put a question respecting the duty on leaf to-
bacco, but to this—and one from Mr. Jones; who
wished to be informed whether the Government
intended to 'impose a duty on agricultural produce
imported into -Canada from the Unite States—
Sit. F. Hincks replied that in due - course the pol-
icy of the Government , would be masite, known,
bat that at present any statement woul/1 be made
premature. Mr. Stephenson had at heart the in-
terest of rural postmasters, but Sir Join had not
got a memorandum concerning them iii his pock-
et, so the question stood over. Mr. Magill moved
for the reappointment of the Hop andSalt Inter-
ests Committee, which was agreed to.
Mr. Dufresne asked for a return of the Inter-.
colonial Railroad contracts that harfbeen thrown
up. - He was told by Mr. Walsh there were none,
but some had been n annulled. Hon. Mr. Holton.
wished to know if reasons for the closing of these.
contracts would' be given, but Sir John A. Mac-
donald thought to give reasons would be object
tionable.' Mr. Holton then asked if the . House
would receive a detailedreport of the work _exe-
cuted and money -paid. Sir John replied that
only a formal report would be presented, but he
hoped it would be as full as was necessary and
satisfactory to the House. Mr. Mackenzie hoped
they would have an account of the differences be-
tween the contractors and the Chief Engineer,
and this_ Sir John promised should ire forthcom-
ing. ` .
Mr. Oliver asked whether an'account would be
rendeiedof the expenses of Mr. Howets mission to
the North-West, and the Premier said this would
be included. with the other papers. er one or
two other questions had been disposeI of,

The Hamilton Times says : One even-
g ing, about a week ago, Miss Maria Burk-
holder, a young lady about eighteen years
of age, daughter of Henry Burkholder of
Binbrook, came home late from a party,
and being thirsty, took a drink from a pail
of water in the kitchen. She immediately
discovered that she had heedlessly swallow-
ed - some object that had been -in the water.,
A few minutes 4i terward0 she was seized
with a d& t hl'y..k i ss, her sight failed,
her face and throat were distorted and swol-
len, and her tongue -protruded. from her
month, while :she aieeuod to suffer- excrutiat
ing agony. Dr, Z4ainley was called, and on
learning the fact,; administrated a powerful.
emetic, which had the desired effect of
ejecting from her stomach a large poisonous
bug, of a green i,olor, such asis frequently
seen in stagnant pools in the country. Mies

this morning a fire broke out in the dry
goods store of Mr A G. Gordon. i The
flames spread rapidly in spite of the efforts
of the+Fire Brigade. The stores belonging
to Mit A. G. Gordon, Mr. John Alexander,
Miss Mitchell, and -Mr. A. K. Peck, were
entirely destroyed. Part of the stocks were
saved, . but greatly damaged. Miss; Roes

damaged by removal, most of the losses are
covered by insurance in the British Anieri-
can, N iagara, Dispatch, Mutual, Commerci

Hartford. Mr. John . M. Weir, dry goods
merchant, was seriously injured while re-
moving good., from. the store of Mr. Gor
don, Mr. Weir was in the rear of the build -
jug when the roof fell in. He escaped by
running through the flames, but was ter-
ribly burnt. He is in a critical condition.
Sir F. Mucks rose to make some personal .ex—
planations.` He referred to the discussion on a
previous evening between the Hon.lkfi
r. Hunting-
ton and himself respecting Hon. Jon Young's
opinion in relation to Independence,and its as-
sumed bearing on the question. of _Annexation.
He noticed the contradiction given -by Mr. Young
to his (Sir F. Hincks') account of the conversation
referred to and repeated his determination .to_
