- THE LATE FALL IN GOL
Gold has at last touched the low fguro of
112, being a fail of nearly eleven r cent.
within two weeks This rapid dec Me is,
this time, certainly not a transitory fluctu-
ation, caused by the -speculators of Wall
Street, New York, but has been p oduced
by circumstances entrely superior t them,
and beyond their control. The Asolute
certainty of the ability and intention of the
United States to honestly pay its war debt,
instead of repudiating it, as was atone time
feared would be done; has caused a rise in
the price of American Securities abroad, and
inereased the demand for them. This, to-
gether with the large cotton crop of the
past year, has turned the balance ot trade
in favor of that country, instead ot against
ttS it has been foe- several years. i Or, in
other words, the country is now ex mting
more than it is importing, instead of the
contrary as formerly, and cense uently
(told is flowing into instead of out f, the
counte-y. The question as to wheth •r gold
will continue declining, and ulfmately
reach par, depends largely on whet en the
balance of trade in favor of the Sta es can
be maintained. It is genet ally con idered
by prominent business men that go d will
not again reach a higher figure than 120,
e and by many itis thought, that itt Will not
attain even that. ,
The effect of this- rapid decline is being
setiously felt in the Stat, especis Ily by
business and laboring meo. It has -uneet-

THE MORGAN MYSTERY..
•
We suppose almost every pers n has
heard of the story of William 1V organ,
who, some forty three years ago, w s kid-
napped from his home in Batavia,, New
York State, for making, or threetening to
make, an exposure of the secrets of the
Masonic order. A writer, in a ' recent
number of Packard's Monthly' takes up the
question, " Was Morgan murdered I?" and
gives some interesting facts and specu ations
concerning this remarkable disappe ranee.
His statements go to prove that 1VIergan
was taken by his captors somewhere into
the back -woods of Canada, where he after-
wards died a natural death: The affaar
created greet eecitement at the time of its
occurrence, end from this excitemen .arose
a, party of "Anti -Masons," which, for many
years exerted a powerful influeece in the
affairs of the United States, and,—al-
though to e considerably leset ext en t —of
this countl-y. The Fraternity- were under
a cloud cma time, and hardly dar d own
eXiSteniT. The prejudice agains them,
however, gradually wore away, an now,
in the States, as with ourselves, the organi-
zation is very large aaid prosper° s, and
numbers amongst its. members many of. our
best, most prominent, and most des rvedty
respected citizens. The editok of the Mon-
treal Witnes .and the amiable, but some-
what obstinate prelate who preside at the
Ecumenical Council, are agout thel
Tiaras of the Anti -Masonic Party.

We fail to understand why a Company,
professing to do an equitable business, as
does the one in question, resorts to such
nonsensical quibbling.
Now that all hope of procuring Reci-
procity with the United States, on any-
thing like a satisfactory baeis, seems to
lhave faded away; a Protective Dtity on cer-
tain articles coming from that country into
this, is commencing to be strongly agitated.
The eubject was brought up in the House
on Tuesday last, by Mr. Oliver, of Oxford,
who moved that an address be presented to
His Excelleecy,praying for the imposition of
an import duty on several kinds of Grain,
Hops, and Salt. This motion was seconded,
in an exceedingly able speech, by Mr. M.
C. Carnet on, member for South Huron, and
received warm suppott from inany members
on bah sides of the House. The motion
eventually was withdrawn until . the Gov-
erninent would declare their policy on the
subject.
THE MORDAIINT SCANDAL
A -most extraordinary case has been re-
cently submitted to the English Divorce
Court, which 'created a profound sensation
among the lovers of scandal, owing to the
high position ot the parties --the name of
Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, being,
among others, freely mentioned in con-
nexion with it. It appears that, some years
ago, Sir Charles Mordaunt, a noble Baronet
living in Warwickshire, married the daught-
er of Sir rhomas 1VIoncrieff, said to be one of
the most beautiful women in England. They
lived happily together until about two years
ago, when Sir Charless went off to Nor --
way on a fishing excursion, as he was in the
habit of doing, leaving his wife with hei
own friends—she having declined to tic-
*
company -him abroad.. 'Soon aftet his re-
turn, Ladir Mordaunt was prematurely de-
livered of a child,. and she then told her
husband that he waS not the father of the
baby, that "she had done very wickedly,
and had been guiltv of an adulterous inter-
-.ourse with Lord! 6ole, Sir F. Johnstone,
the Prince 'of Wales and others." Shemade
similar confession to .others around her,
and this Caused Sir Charles to investigate
the matter, when he discovered beyond a
doubt that the gentlemen named, .aa.id also
Ca.pt. Farquhar, had been constant visitors
at his house during his absence in Nor-
way ; and witnesses were produced who
proved that each of the visitors had, from
time to time, been alone with Lady Mot
daunt in her private apartments. Letters
to Lady Mordatint from the Prince of Walesy
were also produced in Court, which though
containing nothing directly criminating, in-
dicated an unwarrantable intimacy between
the two. The evidence of Sir Chaalas Mor -
daunt is intelesting, as indicating the gen-
erel feeling in regard to the character of 1he
Prince of %Tales. Sir Charles testified that
before his marriage to Lady Mot daunt; be
knew of her intimacy with the Prince, and
that after then marciage he warned her
against continuing_ the acquaintance. "1:
told her," "that 1 had heard in vatiotie
quarters certain circumstances connected
with his previous character that caused him
to wish her to break off withi him." Not-
withstanding this wish, Lady Mordaunt con-
tinued to .receive the Prince's attentions
without the knowledge of her husband, tin:.
til the time she made the voluntary con-
fession that criminal intimacy had been ex-
isting between them. On the other hand,
however, testimony, was brought to de-
monstrate that the unfortunate Lady be-
.
crie insane at the time of her confession,
and had remained so since. The Prince of
Wales was put in the witness -box, who ad-
mitted being on intimate terms with Lady
Mondaunt, but denied criminality. The
Jury,thaving their confidence shaken re-
garding the perfect sanity of Lady Mor -
daunt, declined proceeding with the case.
There seems to bene, doubt that the an-
nouncement of the withdrawal of nearly
every Imperial soldier from Canada made
some time k go in the Army wzd Navy Ga-
zetie is correct. A regiment of battery of
artillery may be stationed at Halifax and
Quebec, but nowhere else will a red -coat re-
lieve the monotony of dvillian costumes.
The policy of throwing the defence of the
colonies upon themselves has long been av-
owed. The English tax -payer grumbles at
the expense ef maietaining the army, and
naturally desires the moneyin time of peace
be spent fit home. Nor is he much to blame.
We cannot chime in. with/ the lugubrione
minor strains of some of .out contemporaries
on this matter. The presence of a regi-
ment causes some extra local expenditure,
'out it is only a drop in the bucket. The
social dissipations of certain aristocrat
cireles possibly are made niore distinyue by
a sprinkling of epaulettes among the com-
pany; but it requires a strong faith and a
wide eliarity to believe that the moral tone

THE 14.1ECTION in the borough of South-
wark, in England, has „gore against the
Liberal party. There werethtee candi-
dates ; Col. Beresford, Tory ; Sir Sydney
Waterlow and Mr. Odger, Liberal. The
return of Colonel Beresford, in a Liberal
constiteency, appears to be owing to the
ill-advised struggle made by Su Sydney
Waterlow. It e as believed that he would
be leturned above both Col. Beresford and
Mr. Odger, and when, early in the day, it
was discovered that he could not be elected,
:VA declined to retire in favor of Mr. Odger.
The latter would have beaten Col. Beres-
ford easily, had he been properly support -
cd by the Liberals of the borough ; as it
was, he polled within 200 votes of his op-
ponent. The smaII.shopkeeper class, one
that forms an important item in Southwark,
was disinclined to be represented by a
working -man, and the eontinuance of Sir
Sydney Waterlow in the field up to ;three
Welock: prevented a large number of votes
6hat would have been polled for Mr. Odger
going to him. Many ef the shopkeepers,
who wet e professed Liberals, openly voted
for Col. Beresfoid. The correspondent,
from whose letter we obtain this informat-
ion, does not fully explain the cause of Sir
Sydney Waterlow'e late retirement, and it
is rather difficult to believe thet he wilfully
ricked the loss of the borough. Ile may,
etith some reason, have believed that he, of
all the three, had the greater claim on the
Southwark vote, tied that his return was
more certain than that of Mr. Odger. The
Conservatives in England appear to organize
their proceeding with more cere than thei4
oppenents. The return of Col. Beresfoid .
for Southwark shows the eiTim
s_ity of
le
eraworking together even under the ost
favorable conditions.

TiTURSDAY.
A large number of petitions were presented for
the imposition of a duty on American grain and
other productions imported into Canada. The
report, of the select committee a,ppointi d to strike
standing committees for the session was adopted.
Hon Mr. Tilley placed on the table the trade and
navigation returns for 1869. Sir John A. Mac-
donald submitted correspondence respecting the
Upper Canada Bank. Mr. R. A- Harrison in-
troduced & bill to amend the Stamp Act. He
stated that the amendment was to provide that
promissory notes and bills of exchange should
not be valid if the stamp was not Cancelled im-
mediately. Mr. Oliver introduced a bill to
amend the Patent Laws so that patents could be
taken out for five, ten or fifteen years. In reply
to Mr. Magill, Jion M Langevin said that the
attention of the Government had been called to
the necessity of enlarging the Welland and St.
Lawrence Canals. They would take it up when
the state of the finance would allow.. It was the
intention of tne Government to provide appro-
piiations for the enlargement of the Grenville
Canal, and. for the survey of the Bay Verte
Canal. Sir John A. Macdonald said
it was not the intention of the Government
to provide appropriations for the -enlargement of
the Grenville Canal, and for the survey of the
Bay Verte Canal. In answer to Mr, Fortin, Sir
John A. Macdonald said that the La Canadienno
did appear in the Bay of Chaleurs twice during
the season of the mackerel, fishing, and was con-
tinuously engaged elsewhere in some port Of the
Gulf in the protection Of fisheries. Mr. Fortin
asked whether it was the intention of the Gov-
ernment to do away with the license system.
and to organize for the coming spring a sufficient
force to prevent American schooners from carry-
ing on fishing in our waters, and by adopting that
course extend effective protection to our fisheries.
Sir John A. Macdonald said it was net the in-
tention of the Government to issue licenses (kr-
ing the coming season, and it intended to protect
the rights of Canadian fishermen in Canadian
waters. This announcement was received with
cheers. In answer to Mr. Dufresne, Sir John A.
Macdonald said the arbitrators of the division of
the Provincial debt were at work, but he did not
know when they would be able to report. In
answer to Mr. Magill, Sir George Cartier said
the Government did not intendto send some of
the most expert riflemen of the Dominion to the
next Wimbledon, as they did not desire to ask
for an appropriation. kr. Bodweil moved for
the correspondence respecting reciprocaltrade
with the United States. Sir Frncis Hincks said
the correspondence was confidential, and could
not be brought deWn. The Government and
people of Canada were not opposed to reciprocity,
and would meet any proposals to bring that
about Mr. 'Bathyal said the people were anx-
ious to renew the reciprocal trade, and he
thought it would be foolish to adopt a, retaliatory
policy. Sir Francis Hincks said it was impossible
for this House to give any encouragement or as-
surance that there would be femprOcity. - Mr.
Young moved the House into Committee of the
whole on the resolution to ad -mit thorough -bred
animals for the improvement of stock free of duty:
Sir Francis Hincks said. the Government could
not at present armaunee its polity upon that or
on any other subject. After some further dis-
ceesien Sir. Francis Hindus said -the Government
might possibly remit the duties now imposed.
Mr._ Young moved an address for the returns of
the amounts paid by the Government to the Bank
of Montreal during 1866, '67, '68, '69, in order to
ascertain what had been paid that Bank, for ser-
vices and other particulars Sir Francis Hinclor
was willing to give all information desired. In
answer to Hon. Mr. Holton, Sir F. Hincks said
he could not state exactly, but all possible exer-
tions werild, be rade to bring them down as soon
as possible. Hon. Mr. Galt naaved for corres-
pondence relative to the admission or exclusion Of
American fishing vessels from the waters of the
Dominion. He presumed the policy of the Cana-
dian Govermirent must have been agreed to by:
the Imperial Governinent. Sir John A. Macdon-
ald said the correspondence was not completed,
and it might not be expedient to send some of
it down, but what they could would be shortly
laid before the House. Mr. Blake moved for a
list of the cadets who have passed through the
several military schools of the Dominion. He
thought the expense *as very great indeed at
present, and that the schools did not a.ecomplish
the object for which they were instituted. In
1868, there were some 3,253 cadi ts, enough to
officer one hundred regiments. Sir. Geo. E.
Cartier said a great deal of the information des-
ired worild be contained bethe report of the Ad-
jutant -General, but additional facts could be fur-
nished down to Jan. lst, 1870with the addition.
of the nuraber of pupils now in the military
schools. Mr. Blake moved for the correspond-
ence relating to the demand made by James
Beaty, M. P., against the Government. Car-
ried. Mr. Blake moved. for a statement of the
late Province of Canada, giving the items in
pute. Sir Francis Hincks said it would be diffi-
cult to give the items in dispute.. In fact, if he
were not greatly mistaken, it was still in dispute
whatiteros were in dispute (Laughter. It should
be remembered that items of debts and liabilities
were constantly springing up, and had to be con-
sidered. The motion was agreed. to. Mr, Blake
moved an address for the correspondence res-
pecting the complaints of Nova Scotia in respect
to -a-mfederation. 4,tarried. =Jim Mr. Tupper
moved theappointimait of a committee on the
reporting and publishing of the debates of the
House, which., after a lengthy debate was
agreed to. Mr. Holton pointed out the fact that
there was rio reference to fractional currency in
the Banking and Currency Resolutions. He
heard that the Government had. already prepared
fractional notes, and wished to know if the Gov-
ernment considered that they had sufficient auth- 4
ority from existing Acts to issue such notes. Sir
Francis replied that the Government had suffi-
cient authority under the statutes. 0 The House
adjourned at 6 p.
