A disctu.sion respecting repairs to Brock's intim men t occupied some tim e:t Th e debate -On the resolutions respecting the Municipal 'Land Eland then engaged the attention Of ethe -Route; The Canadian Artilsts' Bill' passed its third- reading. Ile Canada Cen- tral- It atilwt v Bill passed its tecond reading. Hon. Mr. dambron (Peel) then proceeded to catechise the Government in relation to stffairs at Red River, and -especially as .ta• their intentions in view of the the late mar - der there. The hon: gentleman adthitted that th6 positien of the Dominion Govern- -Merit was one of some difficulty, and that, the Territory not having been formally ced- -ed to Canada, the first responsibility of put- ting down the disorders rested with the Im- perial authority ; bilt he,. insisted that, mak- ing every allowance ftatthe need of scene re- ticence and caution, there were many things tshicb theillouse and country had a right to know. He alluded, in the most indignant terms, TO the foul outrage on Scott, and de- sclared that, after aceepting !;erms, and send- ing a Lieutenant-Gofernor to take passes - ion of the Territory, the Go' ernment was -directly responsible to a num ber of loyal per: sons who had gone thither relying on those arrangements beipts comPeted. He salid that if the 'Imperial Goverment' 1 eq tail ed -Canada to pay the nioney glown, and assume the responsibility of taking over the Terri- tory, be for one was willing to accept hit share of the responsibility. The life of one -of the people of the Dominion was,be said, worth £300,000. He wanted to know how a delegation coming with their hands resi with the blood of an unoffending fellow cid- --zen Were to he treated. He again urged a full statement on the part of the Govern-. ment; as he said the feeling of the country was excited to a red hot heat. Sir J. A. Macdonald, in reply, said that whilst -there could now be no doubt of the 'murder of 'Scott, he had no later information ta give the House than it already possessed respect- ing events at Red River. Mit Donald Sinith was preparing his repstst, and in a very abort time as ',Arch of it as Possible would be laid before the House.- The House would appreciate his reticence with respect to the course of action decided an, but the Government had been fully alive to its. re- sponsiaility in the matter, and in conttant communication with they, Imperial4. ' actiern- Inept, with which it wat acting in e mplete :accord and unison, and a line of conduct -bad been settled upon. More than that he -ebuldi not at present say.' He then al] ded to the corning delegation, and nistancec the presence of Judge Black as a -proof th• t its character -was worthy of respect, TIe re- minded the House of the appointrnent hav- ing been made long ago by a Oonvention of -the pdople, and assumed they would pnly 7, appoint r,espectable men.. In further roof of this he mentioned. that Judge B1a4 at -first declinina, the .Apglicart Bishop of , • a Ru- pert's Land was chosen in his place. So much importance, be Went on to say, at z. at- -tached tothe delegation that Sir ' Staord Northcote, the Governor of the Hud, on't Bay Company, was coming out to. Ca ada -to meet them. The result of the discu. mon with the delegates would be probably the subjeet of deliberation in the House b fore 'the end of the Session. Mr. Mackenzi . re- newed his question of a previous evening as to the release ordeteation of other prisoners at Fort Garry. He was glad. to bear the two Governments were acting -together in corder to assert the supremaCy of British lLaw in the Territory.. He also atlitded to :Mr. Monsell's statement that the request.°Cas nada for regular troops was "under co4 sid- eration," as showing- some discrepancy be- tween the answer of the Under-Secretary -and the Minster of Justice, bid; Was assi redt by the latter that th else was no misunderst rid- ing whatever. Whilst alluding respectful y to Judge Black:, Mr.Macaenzie urg d that the other two delegates (Ftichot, the insurgent Priest, and Scott, an American), Jwere un- -derstood to be accomplices or Riel, tod -ought not in consequence to be received. 'He had information that they had been ap- pointed as the result of force and violence, and British law had to be vindicated before they were recognized. He urgettly psess- i. ,ed_ for information, Whether any delay hi the -despatch of troops would take place conse- quent on the coming of the delegation; or Sir Stafford Northcote's arrival frem- 's.rrg•-• land. Navigation as already open oii the Upper Lakes, and within three weeks ves- sels could -traverse Lake Superior to Tl sins -der bay. Sir John A. Macdonald ass red -the House, that the policy of the Gov rns Anent on this matter was one of imm6 iate action. He hoped that before. Parliartent prorogued it would be made known to it. 'The Ferries Bill . was introduced, and the Rouse went ,inte Committee on the su tject -of the Nova Scotia Bank Notes Mi. - Young moved a resolution putting 0 rpo-. rations on the same footing as private per - 8011S. TTaURSDkY In Committee of Ways and Meadis • the Finance Minister introduced the 'budget. He commenced by offering some explanation of the cause of delay in presenting the ub- lie accounts, which he attributed petal to -outside departments. There were!par lar reasons why it would have been imp ssi- ble ta have proceeded with the estimates at -an early period. He did not intend, as had 'been the practice, to go at any lersigth into a -general financial statement. There wa. no -doubt of the great prosperity and soliti re - lilt of the °country, and he did not consider there was any foundation for the allegatlioti that their'position was one of great fittaiaci- til difficulty or large deficits. There wa 110 -tame, moreover; to complain of excess've taxation. Quoting from Sir John Rose's last year's speech, he argued that the causes of the deficits Originated _before_ the Union, i and he would not go back to that period. Ho oompared the public debt and taxation of Canada with that of other countries, In England the dozdA was $135, io the United • .S• 6)8,00, elittii:i Canada only about $22.- i)le 6•0 ,-S'il head .1 'Taxatth ian in e thtee courts tri. s "ad- respotiveiy at $10, $9.2p, and $3.,Wy8t annuniTet head. So in the Uni- ‘ted State4.-klit dhStorns' Revenue was $4.50, t and in Canatat -$2per head. The Inter- nal _Revenue of the United States was $4. as aaaintt 61c in Canada. . After these - prefatory reinarks he came to thefinancial- operations of the year. - Ile alluded first to Sir Jno. Rose's anticipations of a deficit in '69, and his consequent efforts to cut down any unnecessary expenditere. He then justified the includieg in the ealculations of revenue the $500.000 eserved in repay- ment of -ale debt of the Great Western Rada - way Company, andquoted as a - precedent Mr. Gltdstone's similar appropriation in 1860 of £500,000'received from Spain. He admitted that Sir Jria. Rose had failed to reduce the expenditure so ranch as anticipa- ted. Sir Francis then roceeded to answer . exceptions taken io some °fare items under the head "PublicWorks " \YHA were not eharged tothe expenditure of the year. Hon. Mr. Holton, ,suggested that the Minister should tell them' the actual results of the operations of '68 .'9. Sir. Erancis Hineks said that, including the Great Western re- payment and the profit arising' from the transactiett In the Ifitercolonial Railway Loan, he made out a surplus of $341,000. He thouglatthats as they charged the ex- ! onset on the Loan to the one side of the fle- count, they oughtto charge the profits on it to the. other. The actual amount so gained was $380,000. Eliminating that anment and the Great Western money; the deficit would be $390,006. That, he said, in answer to Hon. Mr. Holton,- left the Board of Works items untouched. There might 'se items more properly chargeable to expenditure, but the grett bulk of expenses referred to could not reasonably be expected to be paid out of the current vedr's revenue. He said he. calculated the onstoms would quite come up to the estimate, and on Excise the Minister of Inland Revenue assured I him that there would be a surplus of $115,- 1)00. Tebacco was expected to yield a sur - :plus of $115,000, and petroleum of $85,000; but a stun equal to the latter would have to be deducted on malt. The revenue from spirits was about equal. The total estimat- ed revenue was $14,650,000, and he feat sure the expenditure would not exceed that suth. The hon. gentleman 'proceeded to give his estiniate of the receipts and expert- diture on which tobase his calculations for the coming yeaa. He then detailed the -pro- posed changes in the tariff, and at the close of his speech a, long debate ensued. The resolutions sanctioning several duties were passed; and instructions in ticordance there- with • telegraphed to the several revenue officials throughout the Dominicn.

A Glance at the Japanese Many conflicting opinions have-lieen ad- vanced as to which of the so-called types of mankind the Japanese: belong. The be- lief seems to be gaining ground, however, that they are all of the same race as . the people of independent high fore -heads, heayy, arched -eyebrows end brown olack eyes, the outer -corners. of Which are a higher than the inner but not so much as with the Chinese. eyesock- et§ bp-ing somewhat sliarletv, and the lipase slightly flattened. Their eyes wpm to starer oat mere than do those of Europeani. Their hairis always. Smooth, thick, and in- terighly black. 'That of the women is gen- erally dioiier than among their sex in the west. The Japenese have beards, hut they shave 1oscIv and often. Their complexion varies front a deep copper hue to the fair- netst of European nations though the com- mon shade is a light olive, nearer the yel!ow tint of the Chinese. Generally, unlike ourselves, they are lighter on the face and hands thin on the rest of their bodies. Rosy-cheeked children are quite as cern mon in japan as with us. The complexion of the women is lighter tit -an that of the men. Both men and women halve soun white, teeth, which, though somewha promthent, are regular and symmetrical. , It is the custom for the married women, however, to blacken their teeth. Young unman ied women, on the contrary, height- en the natural -whiteness of their teeth by coating their' lips with carmine. The expressien of the Japen4se face is mild, yet animated; and more varied than one usually sees amang Asiatic races.— The higher chtsses show 1. great deal of pride, they are quick to feel a slight or an insult -1 and seem to have a somewhat re- vengeful disposition. Yet taken in the MASS, tile people are friendly, go od -h um creel, in tel - 1 igent, industrious. full of eneigy, brave, manly and polite. - The national dress of the Japanese is a kind of gown, and made a little longer for men than women. The fastenings of both men's and women's dresses are simply sdken cards and sashes, of mote or ,lees width. In warm weather the poorer people wear scarcely, any clothes, the dress of the women being only a thort petticoat reaching from the waist doers. The win- ter dress of the men of the OOMM011 classes consist of a close fitt;ng jacket and trousers of blue cotton, worn antler the gown we have already alluded to. The women. wear .wadded mantles. The dress of thetvarious classes differs very little ex- cept in the materialof which it is made. Thc higher ranks alone have the right to wear silk. All classes wenr. for 'hoe,t sandals of plaited grass, , and socks of cot- ton c!oth, or woolen. clogs fastened with • string When the streets are muddy, their shoes are merely wooden soles, raid on two pegs., Every one takes off his el6gs- or sandals before entering a house, and leavesthem outside the door. Children generally run about almost naked, though their dresses 'are sometimes very neatly and prettily made. The,y wear no covering of any kind upon their heads. They are even shaved, although a few locks. varied in length and cut according to the age and sex of tlitpchild, are left to float loosely, or are gathered up in chignon like knots liehind. The hair of the women is allowed to grow abundantly. Most of them wear it 83111e -- what in the style which was i1:i use among us forty or fifty years go—the back hair . being gathered up and skewere4 in various directions with glass ornaments: With ube men, a closely shaiven head is the mark of a priest, or of a phytician of the highest class. In others, the lnAr is shaved off about three inches in front, courbed up from the back and sides, and glued into a tuft, at the top of the head,- where it is fastened with pins of gold or tortoise -shells, The dwelling -houses of the Japanese are. somewhat peculiar. They are divided off by sliding partitions into rooms, which can thus be made larger or smaller, as the oc- cupant -may wish. The floors are alw tys covered with mats, -made of rice -straw care- fully plaited, and of uniform size. These mats supply the want of othei• furniture. On one the Japanese makes his bed, anoth- er serves as his table cloth; still another is the. seat where squatted on his heels, he chatters with his visitors, t, Education is universal. The whole grown-up populatiou can read, wiite, and calculate. In Japan a man's birth fixes his social pesition, and the line that seperates class from class is strongly marked, and cannot be passed over. Of the classes, there are eight, of which four belong to the upper, and four to the lower ranks. Be- sides the princes and nobles, priest § and soldiers are included among the former, while doctors, the petty government officers, merchants, and laborers, belong to the latter. As mechanics, the Japanese have attained to great excellence, especially inflie man- ufacture of porcelain, lacquer -ware, and silk fabrics. In these branches they are un- equalled. - • How TO C4 -KT TO SLEEP.—In an exchange we find the following on the best method of • obtaining sleep : This is to many a person a matter of high importance. Nervous per-. sonsswho are troubled with wakefulness and excitability usually have a strong tendency of blood to the brain, with cold extremitiet. The pressure of blood on the .brain keeps it in a stimulated or wakeful state, and the pulsations in the head are often painful. Let them rise and chafe the body and ex- tremeties with at towel or brush, or rub smartly with the hand, to promote circa- latio-and with the excessive amount of blodd from the brain, and die; will fall a- sleep in a few moments. A cold bath or a • sponge, and rubbing, or a, good run, or tit rapid walk in the open air, or going up and down stairs a few times before retiring, will aid in -equalizing' circulation and prO- motion of sleep. Theme rules are siinple and easy, of application in the castle oz cab- in, and minter to the comfort t of thous- ands, who would freely spend money' for an anodyne to promote "Nature's sAteet restor- er, .oaliny sleep." .ATTTION 'SALE. —0 ]f— NEW FURNITURE!, —0 N-- - TUIESDAY, APR IL 19 1870.
