Maeclanald said that nearly all the correstkaidence had been laid on the tale, and that such of the balance 'as„ could be . produe,ed without injury to the public in- terest, wouldbe brought down. Mr.. Cart- wright asked what sums were to the credit of the Dominion in the various tanks here and in England on the first of March lag. Sir Francis Hincks gave particulars of the items, whose aggregate amounted to $8,6 74,- 449: The House was next engaged for some time in motions and second readings of Bills, and other business inclental to the closing of the sessien. Hon. Mr. Wood introdneed the question of the FMunicipal • Loan Fund, and wiahsd, to obt in the di- rect answer of Government on th subject. Sir John A. Macdonald said that as the -question was under consideration by the Dominion Arbitrators, it were better for the Hods() to express its opinion, After recess, Sir Francis Hineks molted that the Curreacy - Bill be alischarged. Hon. Mr. Holton said that the. Bill had been intro- duced with a great floarish of trumpets, And and it was unfair that it should be now -withdrawn. The Bank of UPper Canada -was read a third time and passed. The •Suilerannuation Bill was read a second time. Sit John A. Macdonald moved the second &reading of the Mantioba bill in oder that 'he might explain some of the a terations" that had been made. The boundary lines ware altered in order to include Portage la Prairie, the people of -which he had reason to believa were adverse to be governed from Fort Garry, though they were now, he thought, willing to enter the Union. The deviations of boundary would increase the poupulation by about 2,000, so that in cal- culating the subsidy to be paid that ccitntry, it sliould be on:the basis a 17,000 instead of 1,5,000. Mr. 'Mackenzie approved of the changes as far as they went, but he consider- ed the Bill far from satisfa:ctory vet. Af- ter some further remarks from Mr. Macdougall, Sir George E. Cartier and Mr. Mills., the matter dropped. *The Hous Mackenzie th the im- nwest. • Sir then went into Committee of Supply on the Supplementary Estimates, which were pas- sed down to the militia expenditure: That and the item for enamigration have evoked lengthened discussions. The consideration of the tariff was arrangefor to -morrow at 3 o'clock, and the House adjourned at 1:30.• THURSDAY. The House of Commous on assembling re- sumed the discussion of the suppleientarY estimates, a number of which were agreed to. On the vote of $1,494,000 to pay for opening COM rcrunications th, and estab- lishing a government in 1he Neat -West including the expedition of Red Ri4er be- ing read, Hon. Mr. Holton called atten- tion to the fact, that .by this item Govern- ment proposed surreptitiously to obtain a -vote for military purposes without the di- rect sanctiorisof the House. The vote had been in the original estimates, but was dropped at the time, an assurance in °answer to a naoticn by Mr. Masson (Sou anges) having been given to the effect, that no po- rtion of it would be applied to milita y pur- poses. He compla.Mecl that they -w re not dealing fairly with the House, -and aid if the expedition were being equipped it was the business of the Government to frankly gate their policy as to the number of men and the details, to which, as a free ment, they were entitled. Sir F. contended that nothing could be c than the • terms of the resolution them. Hon. air. Dorion- spoke at arlia- backs earer efore some length, and urged that not only shoal( they be told how mitQh was required for t4e ex- pedition, but the items should, be Sepe ately ndecl merit ewal rove- diti- voted. Sir John A. Macdonald cont that in the present case 'the Gover was not obliged to have taken a re vote, and under the Act even have bo ed the money and spent it on• the ex on. He hoped, from the pacific aspect of affairs, that the expenses - would be much less than once anticipated. He trusted the House would not press to disclose the de - 'tails of the expedition. They did not at present know what the expenditure Would be, so ranch depended on whother the -xpe- dition would be warlike or peaceful its character. He would state however, that the minimum force would be 1,009. He preferred the vote should be adjoin -lie 1 un- til further progress was made with .the Bill. Mr. Jones, Sir A T. Galt and Mr. Mackenzie all spoke in favor of ft -diet ex- planations being given. The last named hongentleman saying that he should re- sume the discussion. After recess, on Sir F. Hincks moving the second reading of the Custonas Bill. Hon. Mr. Dorion moved a resolution in favor of retrenehment as a_ means of obviating the neceasity for increas- ed taxation. -Mr. Mackenzie .secconcled the amendment, and in. a vigorous style, urged that in a spirit of economy it should be ad- opted. He spoke in terms of contempt of the Bill, and said Ministers would be re• dy even then to withdraw it if they dared, ibut it would be too -ridiculous to doso as it vas the onlymeasute they had passed thro gh the House. Sir F. Mucks -declared no- body in the House believed a spirit of eaon- oray prompted the motion, and denounped economy resolutions as "clap -trap." The policy of the Government was a national policy, and the Government would stand or fall by it "Why change it then?" asked Mr. Mackenzie amid general laughter. Sir F. Ilineks said he would answer that pre- sently, but he sat down without doing so. After some other members had spoken, the House divided, and the motion was lost by —Yeas, 66 ; nays, 75. Hon. Mr. Holton hoped, in view of the vote just taken, the •4 1 Ministry would reverse to their position of Tuesday work. Ministers howevtr, de dined to act on Hon. Mr. Ministers, friend iy suggestion, and the Bill was read a sec ond and third time, and passed. The House Alen resumed the debate on the Province of Manitoba Bill. Hon. Mr. G -ray would support the Bill. Mr. Young viewed With great force and cleverness the whole policy of the Government in relation to .the North- West Territory both -before and during the insurrection. _He specially deprecated the ipurehase money, and the conduct of Hon. Mr. Howe when. at Red River. He strong- ly blamed the Go-vernment for its delay in taking steps b0 vindicate the Queen's au- thority and punish the murderers of Scott, and said it was only nchig they were goaded by public opinion they took the first act- ive steps in the matter. He regarded the sy.stem of Government proposed as too cum- brous and costly. The exclusion ofPortage la Prairie was little better than an insult to the House and the people of the D'ominion. He objected to the large allotmen t of 1,400,- No acres for the half-breeds, and said this grant and other claims would leave very little land for settlement. He recommend- ed the limitation of .the first Parliament to two years, and all British subjects going to Menitoba as soon as they become house- holders should be allowed to vote. The Bill at first, he said, looked too much likea. compromise, - and bore. traces of the influence of the Red River delegatbs, by whose reception he felt humiliated. He protested against their being considered the reptesentatives of the people of the Settle- ment. Mr. Colby defended the Govern- ment. Mr. Cartwright made some renaarks on the Bill, and hoped the Government would accept amendments in Committee. Mr.' McCallum blamed the Government, and especially Hon. Mr. Howe for his con- duct when at Red River. He also criti- cized Colonel Dennis' proceedine•s. Hon. Mr. Mcdougall defended Colonel Dennis. The Bill was then read a second time, and will be taken in Committee at the first or- der to -day. The House then in Council reSurned the discussion of the Supplemen- tary Estimates, and having reported, rose at 1 p. INTERESTING TO MAGISTRATES. ---A ease highly important and interesting to magis- trates is put down for trial at the coming Welland assizes. It crises as follows man 'lamed Upper, last winter drew some saw logs mit° a public road, but which he claims as his property. . The logs were pla- ced in such a position on the road that the road could not be used by the public, as be- fore, which gave great annoyauce, and one of the aggrieved parties applied to a magis- trate for a warrant • but the gentleman on ascertaining that the title was likely to arise, refused to entertain the suit. Ano- ther magistrate was then appealed to, and he, at once granted the warrant, held an in- irestigation, and inflicted a fine on Mr. Up- per for obstructing the highWay. The latter gave notice of appeal, and after doing so, watched the publication of the Schedule of Convictions to see if the conviction had been returned to the Clerk of the Peace. He waited and watched in vain. It seems that the magistrate neglected to make a return. Upper, therefore, has entered a complaint against the gentleman for neglecting to per- form his duty as a magistrate. If the com- plaint is sustained, the magistrate will be mulcted in at least $80 find and the costs of the court, and his name may be struck from the commission of the peace. 1 11 ra. a ±1111 Y% 01 fon i al fl th ho ce ea an Bt SO offi th th On ce de to de 14.re e'en cle pas ind it t tir is t cen ata A Goo]) START. —There is a great aclvan age in a good start,though it is often throw away afterwardA good start in life— good start in any particular business—i ialf a fortune to an energetic, perseverin lam and if the occupation happens to b griculture, it is astdnishinghow a goo tart given to every- crop will- avail, an here is no live stock on the farm but Wha 11 prosper through every stage of its exist nee by common care, if it has a good start oing down to the lowest priced animal rst, what a difference is observable in geese urkeys, ducks or comnion chickens, which ave had a good start by being hatched ear y in the season—how very preferable • to ave pigs come early too, for, if they are -ell treated, they will often overtake those orn. late in the previous, year; lambs eaned early will cut more wool and turn it -altogether better next Spring, • and as ✓ calves, those calved in March will always ay double the profit of such as at:e dropped June ; but above all the rest and beyond I doubt, early foals gain to an extraordi- iry extent by being given a good start. hen the foals are from valuable blood, here thousands of dollars are likely to be e reward of raising in the best ,manner, w very esential—how imperatively ne- ssary—to contrive for them to be foaled riy, that they may have a good start. ,46411.. SQUARING ACCOUNTS.—A singuslar finan- cial transaction occurred in one of the tffalo Dock- offices a day or two since. By me means or other it happened that the ce boy owed one of the clerks three cents, e clerk owed the cashier .two cents, and e cashier owed the office bay two cents. e day last week the office boy having a nt in his pocket concluded to diminsh his bt, and therefore handed the nickle over the clerk, who, in turn, paid half of his bt by giving the coin to the cashier. The ter handed the coin back to the office boy, marking, "Now,' I only owe you one t." The office boy again passed it to the rk, and he passed it to the cashier who sed it back to the office, boy the latter ividual squared all accounts by paying o the ,clerk, thereby discharging his en - e debt. Thus it may be seen how great he benefit to be derived from a single t, if only expended judieiously. THE HURON EXPOSITOR. luscu1aa7 Force of the Human Heart. A curions investigation of the muscular force of the human heart, and the eompara- tive amount of work it performs, has re- cently been made and published by Mr. Houghton, an eminent English tnatheniati- can. Starting with the postulate—first, that three ounces of blood are driven from each ventricle at each stroke of the heart; beeond, that the hydrostatic pressure in the left ventricle and aorta against which the blood is forced out, amounts Ito a column of blood nearly tenfeetin verticle height ; third, that the muscular force of the left ventricle in _contracting beais to that of the right „ventricle in proportion of th;rteen to &e—he proceeds to show that the -daily work of the left ventricle isequivalent to over eighty-nine tons lifted one foot, and that of the right to over thirty-four tons ; or, - for both together, to over one hundred and twenty-three tons lifted through one foot The enormous amount of force de- noted by the proceeding result, our author goes on to illustrate by showing, first, that if the daily work of ten hoaxes by a labor- ing man be equivalent t� three hundred and fifty four tons lifted, through one foot, the heart does over one third as much in twenty-four hours; therefore three old women T doing nothing whatever, actually accomplish more work in one day than the strongest average labouring man ; second, that the labouring force of the heart is great- er than that expended in propelling an eight-oated boat through the water during the severest boat -race; third, that if the heart expended its entire force in liftink its own weight vertically, it would raise this weight nearly 20,000 feet in ene hour, or twenty time as far as an active pedes- trian can climb in vertical altitude in the same time ; fourth, that the greatest dis- tance through which a locomotive has been able to lift itself up an incline hastbeen. 2,- 700 feet in an hour 4 and that this is equal to only one eight part of the energy of the human heart. In fine, our author thinks he has succeeded in proving that the human heart is the most wonderful piece of me- chanism -known,' since he has shown that ts energy is equal to one-third of the total daily force of all the muscles of a strong man, that it exceeds by one-third the la- bour of the! muscles in a boat truce, estimat- ed by equal weights of niusele,; that it is equivalent to twenty times the force used in climbirig vertically; and finally, that it has eight times the force of the most powerful 'engine in -vetted by the art of man.—EDIT- on's Sem/4nm RECORD,. in Halper's Maga- zine° of _May, -41 • • THE INTERNATIONAL BRIDGE. —We are happy to learn that there is an immediate prospect of the commencemeat and com- pletion•' of the International 'Bridge from Fort Erie to Buffalo. . It is long since the enterprise was projec‘d ; and many have been the unexpected delays in its pragyess toward construction. All difficalties have nowapparently been surmounted through th? exertions of parties in England inter- ested in'. the success of the Grand Trunk Railway. By their intervention, the s‘tock of the International Bridge Company has been subscribed, and Messrs. C. H. Gzowski & Co., of Toronto, have been entrusted with the practical execution of the work. The cost will somewhat exceed a Million dollars. The point of departure is below the village of Fort Erie, on the Canadian. side. . The Bridge crosses Squaw Island, and also the Tonawanda (Erie) Canal. It is to be a permamentVtructure of the most solid kincl —equal in all respects to the Victoria 'Bridge of if not in len iontreal, which it will exceed, in the depth of the water in which its foundations will be placed. The piers and abutments are to be of solid stone, with iron or wooden casings filled with concrete. The water varies, but is forty feet at the deepest point. In the cen- tre of the river is to be a drawbridge to turn upon a pivot which will leave one hundted and, eighty feet open on each side, of clean passage room. There -will be an- other drawbridge across the Tonawanda Canal. The iron is to be wrought, and there is to be accomodation for common carriages as well as railways. The bridges will afford opportunitied for the exercise of .gceat engineeriug skill, and the progress of the -work W ill be watched with attention by all interestal in great mechanical progress. The bridge will afford large facilities to the Gra.nd Trulik Railway forIcarrying the traf- fic from l'astroieto Buffalo. and will be a great boon, to the, latter city..Branybrd Expositor. 4Tp-e-40, THE GRAND MUNK RAILWAY.—It is a fact worthy of note, says the Toronto Tele- graph, that the application for the $228,000 of second equipment bonds of the Grand Trunk Railway amounted to over $1,300,- 000. Stronger evidence than this that the road is now held in high estimation, and that its bonds are considered a safe invest- ment, could not be produced. $peaking in this connection, Het-pat/es Jottract/ says-- " It may not be out of place to add that the Grand Trunk lacks but one thing more —the Buffalo bridge. But if the Buffalo line is permanently ceded to the Grand Trunk as part of its systerat it will not be long before the blidge is up. The impor- tance of this bridge cannot be over -rated. It will entirely change the character of the line for the better. I am glad,' said the Rev. Dr. Young to ithe cheif of the Little Ottawas, 'that you do not drink whiskey, but it grieves me to find that your people use so much of it.' Ali,:yes,' replied the chief, and he fixed his eyes impressively upon the doctor, which communicated the reproof before he uttered it. "We Indians use a great deal . of whiskey, but we do not make it." : SIGN OF THE CIRCULARSAW-! Wm.
