Mr. Blake â€" Does not the hon. gentleman desire to explain this reaolution Sir John Macdonald aaid he thought he bad explained buffioientiy on a previoua oeoaaion. He referred to the requeats by membera of the Boarda of TAde m Canada and the Chambers of Commeree in Bag* land, that there should be an insclveccy law. Commercial men, however, were not uuited in favor of such a law, and outside ot eommeioial circles opinions seemed to be rather adverse. This committee was appointed to investigate the whole qaeation aud asfiiat Parliameiit to come to a deoiaion GO tbe qaeation. The motion was oarried. Mr. Milla atkad whether it was the iLten* ticD ot the GuvernaMot to propcaa any legiblation, or to invite Parliament to ask for Imperial legialatiou, to define tbe boun- dary of tbe Provii,ce of Oatario upon the Qorth and weat.

In reply to Mr. £dgar, Mr. Ghi^leausaid DO oorreapondenoe had taken place between the High Commiasioner and tbe Govern- ment on the Bobjeot of Imperial Federation. Tbe Government, however, had reeeived copies of tbe resolutions parsed at the con- ference on Imperial Federation held in London during tbe past year. Mr. Cameron (Middlesex) askedâ€" Is it the intention of tne Gjvemment to intro- done any legislation this sesaicn affeeting benevolent or fri«idly soeictiaa?

The Landon Field says " Soma of the New- York papers make merry over the Idea of the vaunted British racing cutter going to sea under a trysail, and declare that their owners dare not live on board. It the writers had an opportunity of seeing the owners on board such beautiful vessels, say, «a M«t jorie and Wendnr, and tbe lux- urious comforts they enjoy in the way of cabin accommodation, they would very much modify their opinions as to tbe Bnt- isb raoing machines. It is true that the Oambria and Dauntlesa raoed aorosa the ocean with their big spars, and Cambria's boom was 64 feet mainmast, deck to hounds, 62 feel, and bowsprit, 41 feet out- side. Tbe Fleetwing, Henrietta and Yesta came across before tbe westerly gales in the winter of 1661 imder big spars, and no doubt the Briuah rasing eutiers could do tbe pame, although ttaey might often have to^stow tbeir booms, and would probably require a new sail to race with on arrival. Among other notions derogatory to the Britiab cutters ia one that tbeir lead keels will drop oft, and that if they get hit by a big sea thsy wiU orumple up hfce maieb- wood. Ot course a lead keel may drop, althoogb, so far as our knowledge goes, it baa only happened yet when fastened with iron bolts and a yacht may be ' ommpled up ' jut as ships are but let us hopa tbat these antioipations are founded rawer on a lack of knowledge ot what the British flutter is like than an intimate acquaint- ance with her."

The tact ia that when a millionaire fails, it by no means follows that every dollar has been swept away, li is generally the case that he or his wife saves something out of the wreck. Aa an illustration of thia I am reminded ot an interview I had not long ago with a gentleman who aaid, alluding to his tailnca several yaara pre- vious " I came down to Wall street one day worth 93.000.000. When I went home at night I was pennilesa." •• What 1 abaolntely pennUeaa " "Well, praeticaUy ao; to be aure, I aaved my seat in the Stock Exchange and about 960.000 in oaab, but what did that amoiutto?

The sum cf £10, to bs paid by eaoh individual by the time he reaches 21 years of age, would enable the national elob to guarantee 8a. per week to any one diaabled by uokness, and a further payment of 4s. to every man over 70 years of age. With respeot to erimihals, they they should not be allowed out of prison until they had worked out their insurance. This scheme, which is now in actual trial in Germany, would of eourse take the place ot the friendly societieB that already exist in Great Britain. Theee are most varied in their operationsâ€" some like the Oddfellows and Fras Gardeners~eztend- tog their relief during tbe lifetime of a member, provided he keeps in good standiog. wnila othera ooUeei so mudi every weok, pay sisk or diaabled members out ot the proceeds, and declare a dividend ot what remains ovary year.

He gave no reference, but said he eame from 40 (not 80) Presoott street. He had a brown Dox and bag. He usually went ent aboot 9 o'dook in the morning and returned ai 6 in the evening. On the morning ot tbe explosion he went out, taking nothing with him. He returned between 12 a 3d 1 o'elook and waa in his room two or three minutes. He then left the house aod she did not see bim again until ahe was requested to go to the police station that evening. He gave his name as Dalton. Mias Cannon was recalled, and dodely oroaa-examined by Mr. Qailliam. She got mixed up as to the color of the bSx or trimk alleged to have mysteriously disap- peared from Cnnningham'a room at her bouae, and began to waver in her testimony. When questioned as to whether the box taken to 32 Scarborough street was not the only one Ounoiogham had while lodging at her house, she broke down and refused to swear to the identity of the trunk found in Barton's possession, as being the one she alleged Cunnugham had at her place. Miss Cannon was eonudeted one of the Crown's moat important witaesses. Her refusal to swear to the identity of tbe trunk caused the prosecution considerable disappoint- ment. Emms Hatvey, the landlady in Turner's road, testified that Burton engaged a room in her house on January lOUi. He brought with him a Gladstone iMg. Aftarwards he said ha bad obtained work, and was going to bring a trunk to bis room. He did not ateto where he go) the trunk. Detective Biper teatified that ha saw Burton and Cunningham oonvorsing together on Jan- uary lOtb in High atreet, Aldgate. Burton denied thia, and deolared he never aaw Cunningham before he entered the dock to-day. Burton aaid he went to America in September on tbe Alaaka. The brown trunk, brown box and Gladstone hag were produced, the pdice having traced and itecured tiiem all. Tbeir exhibition pro- duced a mild aensation. Colman Baeon, beug shown the trtmk, swore it was the exact sisagoolor and shapa of the oce he took to the Preaoott street house. Crosbie, the sabman wbo oarried Burton from the railway atation to the lodgings in TotBsr's road, testified that tbe trunk was the sams he took from the Presoott street house tor Barton on his joarney. Orosbie said be stepped tor the tronk about 10 30 at night on January 12iih. Burton denied OrosMe's statement, repeating hia own former story, and said the trip to Turner's road was made at 7 o'clock in the evening. Orosbie denied this, and said he could (rove he was home at that hour. Mrs. Whitteridge, ' the landlady of a lodgfaig house in Mitre Square, Aldgate, testified that Burton took rooma in her house January 26lh, and remained there a week. Afterwards he viaitod her. She had aeen him frequeptly previous to thia and between March and September, 1884. He oailed upon her in the afternoon of the day ot tbe explosion, on January 34tb.

This portion of the eoun- tey ia mostly inhabited by Arab tribes, brave, warlike and fierce, who lice by raising flocks and selling slaves. These Arabs are the people who are now making all the trouble in the Soudan. They did not conteat the nominal rule of Egypt aolong as it did not interfere with the slave trade; hot in 1874 Sir Samuel Baker and Gen. Gordon were sent by tbe then Khedive, Ismail Pasha, to break up the slave trade, and after great efforta suc- ceeded in making it an unprofitable and dangerous business for a time. On their withdrawal from the Nile paebsliw ot the Soudan the Arabs resumed the slave traffio as bsfore. They are now afraid tbat in case the English control tbe Soudan the slave trade will be abolished, and that ttaey must again go back to their anoestral occu- pation of tendisg flocks and robbing oaravans. Tbe horrors of the slave traffio of the Soudan are enough to appal tbe minds of civilised people. The French Catholic missionaries in Khartoum, estimate that a million ot people are captured every year and bold into slavery. These slaves supply the entire Orient. They are captured by chiefs and powerful native rulers, who' make periodto raids nnexpeotedly on some of the weaker tribes, surround ths villages and seise the inbaWtante. They are mostiy brought to Khartoum, which has hitherto been the great slave mart. They are marehsd in immense gangs and when the weaker among toem drop on the way, they are lulled by a spear tbrual from their Arab drivers. Sometimes aa many aa 60 per cent, of tbem are said to die on the long desert marches. It is said that the Mahdi taimselt has aooumulated great wealth by slave bar:er. HOatHiBIjB Cit|7B£1'1f.
