HURON EXPOSITOR. Thomas Brassey, the Great English Contractor. The patient sagacity and calm _re- eolationto abide by the rules he had laid down for his own conduct, • enabled Mr. Brassey to per- form, at the same time, an amount of work ,equal to that of three •or four ministers of Publie Works put together, may be illustrated by an anecdote never until now put forthn in the year 1862 Mr. Brasiey was in ,Tarin. Some Italian not tables of that day called upon him at the Hotel Trombetta, in order to obtain his support for one of the great enterprises by which it was then bought to enrich the Peeinsula. Mr. Brassey was conversing with rliamentary tactics tO bear on the English engineer (who had him- idecl common sense bf, the great for the company, but he had explain- , ed his own tiuly invariable system," It would. be intolerably tedious to - attempt a niole detai1e4 recount of the -entire ,c nvel s4ionJ In a word, :the half houjr for which Mr. Braaeey had impt °tied hia countryman, las ed fromrc to nearly' ten p, m:, wh n the 'deptuttatien at length re- tir d, ma.kitg arrangemetts for a secend nei View.

Wheu the 'hills of MI are seen tertninating -whole matter had been presented nd a rocky a in its fairest light, k)y one and ulnwide •another of its advocates, ...vIr. Brassey remallked that it might Saco dine if he explained the invariable princi-- pies on which. he conducted business'. . He was willing to afford. a large measure of euppott . to any enter -6 prise of whil he undertook the _ , . works. He was prepared, in such case, to subscribe to the capital, and to hold, without forcing on the market, a certain, proeortion of shares, or bonds, or buth.° But such finaucia1 arrangements must be en- tirely distinct from thoee Made for the execution ef the works. For that he must receive monthly pay- ment in cash, aceording to regular monthly certificates by the engineer of, from 80 to 90 per cent of the _ • value of work done. If the diree- tors were prepared to deal on these terms, he should be ready to enter at once into the details of prices. The deputation were delighted. Nothing could be more to the point er more in accordance with their ideas of business find habits of action. Then the Y commenced a review of the featurds of the scheme, and travelled a seemme al tiover. tue ground already- Coveted, rising how2 ever, in enthusiasm ea they dwell on the unrivalled. advantages which the share -lit -skiers NvOuld enjoy.

I 1 fully acceptable to - both sides, and and they would send their eptineer to. the meet Mr. Brassey's engiefeer, and setsle the &tulle of the schedule, as to which no difficulty could. arise; tis there were amp0 precedents to follow. They . would -take their leave of their honored. friend With the u tm os t content. The little noise which accompanied the rising of half a .dozen persona eucceed- ed. The door opened, and, just in backing out, " Of course," said the first speaker, " Mr. Brassey had no objection to accept, as • cash, the shares of the Company for whichie had promised to subseribe 1" "Stop, gentlemen,'" said Mr. 13rassey, "I am. eorry that I have failed to explain my meaning. You must not go away under a mistake. I told you that, if we agreed to the details, 1 woblit,subscribe for a cer- • tain proportion of shares. But I told you thaaAhis must be kept quite distinct froM the monthly pay- ments. They must he regularly. made in cash, to my bankers; on no .other consideratitin will I look at the business. I b.ave large sunis to pay every month, and I cannot allow any uncertainty to, exist as to the regularity of my receipts, Pray understand that. -It is a Sine qua "0-f course, if Mr.- Brassey put it in that way, the directors would. be delighted to meet his views. They had merely intended to avoid trouble, • by proposing one transaction' instead of two. But it was for. Mr. Brassey to decide." Then followed a secona repetition of the entire argument, to which Mr. Brassey listened with • great patience. Again. the leave taking procePs was gone through ; and, again, as if a mere casual re- mark---" The ahrectors understood • that the compan Y's obligations were eqctivalent to cash, as, in point of • fact, they were at 3 per cent. pre- mium, ii.id therefore N-1/4 ()Ala more than' bank notes." "In that case," Mr. Brassey re- joined, "it would be • easy for the oompany to convert thew, and to pay him in money. ,He did not wish, for more than, his price. The advantaese to be .delived from the premium on the obligations might be very large. - Soi m.uch the better fall the (To] ., in a long . premontory hea -Hated.
