Tag TWesrx-Four,•ra.—The sixtieth anni- versary of the birthday of noble Queeu Victoria passed off very quietly in Exeter, all the places of business being closed, and the majority of the inhabitants being away from town enjoy• iug themselves at other places, so that the t(en'tst flirty previous to and even elude the 17th of September last sneeringly called the "White Elephaut." The benefits and advent" ages aooruing from the establishment of stills an manufactories are not confined to the lo - entities wore mit industries are situated, as the iustauoe leo have oiled clearly proves, The establishment, or rather the re -opening, of the rolling mills in the eity of Hamilton has bene- fitted the blacksmiths • in Exeter by giving a return for old iron which they could not before dispose of, Although this may be looked up- on by some as not worthy of note, yet it shows ,that the statements made by the Protectionists before• ilio Dominion election were correct.

A Bre Loss.—We Soo by our exchanges that the Oraugers near Napanee have met with a heavy lose, about 350,000, owing to a member •ot the lodge eng txiug in grain buying, and rhau quietly abs oudiug with the funds. No doubt it would be better for these men to leave grain baying and iudeod all kinds of buying to those wen who are oonstauily engaged in the business, and are willing to run all risks. The Giangere may make motley occasionally by taking everything into their own hands, but their losses, we believe, will overlap their gain , while they do a great deal to .verde de- troyiug the business of a town. Thera is rot a town in Canada that hat not been injured by thein worlt:ug, while ale members themselves do not become any richer, aucl generally' have their trouble tor their paius.—The above from an exohnuge is applicable to Exeter. No daubt the trade of this village has been cur- tailed to a large extent by so many farriers t:aneforring their purchases from Easter reerchauts and trades people generally to 'the wholesale dealers in the cities. However, the :armors have a :iglu to do as they see fit. BENEFITS OF T130 N. P. IN Exts!En.-The good effect of the NationalPolioy is beginning to bo felt in hxeter.
