Desormiers was tried at the last tyrm of the Court of Queen’s Bench andisenteneed to one year‘s imprisonment, witlhthe addition of twenty lashes. 'l‘o-day Deso'rmiers received ten out of the tWL-nty lashes. The operation took place in the presence of the deputy Osherit‘f and a small knot of spectators. The prisoner was securely tied to a triangle by his arms and logs, his back ,bared,‘ and a mutiler tied around his neck to prevent the lash reaching that port-ion of his body. The lush was applied by one of the prisoners, and the whole operation only lasted a few minutes. After a few lashes Desormiers was heard to excluim. “ Not so hard 3” but no other remarks escaped him,'and he took the remainder of his punishment without tlinching.

In counselling I'lster to offer resistance. he did not mean a resort to physical tome. He put that aside. (Cries of “ You needn’t.“) It» was constitutional resistance he meant. If it Were decided ultimately that Home.

It was not fair for a. lender to clsimuthe absolute trust of his foilowers, while rcfusi r to give a clear insight into his intentions. upon smatter- of life ordenth. Surely upon a question involving the fate of the Empire. Mr. Gladstone might even at this lute hour make a. clear, definite statement which plain men could under- stand. » A Belfast cable says : Mr. Chamberlain, speaking at anhmills, County Antrim, yesterday, said that it was not the upper classes, but the poorer classes of Ulster that were opposed to the Parnellite pro- posals. The artisans and farmers did not see any chance of improving their condition under the rule of men like the Home Rule members of Parliament. ,The poorer Classes rightly looked forward with the greatest dread to the changes that would be involved in the creation of a. Parliament at Dublin. He admitted that a part of the north of Ireland was strongly in favor of Home Rule. but he was certain that if he could infuse into the people of Doncgal the same resolute. law-abiding disposition as that shown by the people of Antrim. the outcry to: great constitutional changes would become little heard of.

The Coroner has issued warmptb for the arrest of the man found guigtAy.‘ At the inquest in tho Mitchellstown shooting case today attention was drawn ‘ to the fact that the policemen charged with the shooting had been removed from the “district on the eve of the jury’s verdict. The Pdice Inspector said the men had been removed because their duties in the place had ceased, but they would return if necessary. The Coronet declared that the removal of the police was illegal, improper, and unconstitutional. After all the evi- dence had been submitted Mr. Harrington asked that a verdict of wilful murder be returned against Head Coustable Brown- rigg and the livu policemen who tired under his general order. Mr. Harrington accused Constable'Brownrigg of deliberately plun- ‘ ning the murders. “There is reason for believing that there is no foundation whatever for the “report which has been widely circulated that Prof. Goldwin Smith contemplates returning to England with a. view to entering the House of Commons.

A Kingston despatch says: On Satur- day, before leaving for New York. Wong Chin Foo. the unconvertible Chinsman, ventilated his grievances against the Cana- uian Government. It had. through the Customs collector at Suspension Bridge, imposed u on him the tax of 350 provided by tho nti-Chinese Immigration Act assed some time ago. Wong Chin Foo as been about fifteen years a resident of the United States. He claims that for thirteen years he has been an American citizen, being naturalized at Grand Rapids, Mich. in INN. He had been a frequent visitor to Canada ever since the existence of the Act referred to, and until the pre- sent he has not suffered by its enforctment. He says that on arriving at Clifton the other day while on a lecturing tour the Customs oflicer Sized him up and declared that he was dutiable. Wong Chin Foo professed to be ignorant of the law and took the action of the oflicer asta joke, but the dimer ,was not inclined to be at all funny and intimated that upon the payment of the assess- ment depended his detention or progress.

An Ottawa despatch says: A remarkable and daring feat was accpmplished here yesterday, when a courageous Frenchman tlm aded his way along the edge of the (,‘handiere Falls, passing safely from shore inshore. The mm was Francis l’otvin, “ho has Worked in the various mills in the summer and the shanties duringthe winter since he was a boy, and is now a splendid speoinu‘n of a French Canadian shanty~ man. He made a wager with some friends in Hull that he could walk through the big kettle. The wager was taken and the money, about $10 in amount. put up. l’ottin, accompanied by a number of friends, proceeded across the large table rocks on the Hull side of the Chaudiere Falls to the brink of the rack over .whieh : the water falls. Owing to the phew nomenally low water in the river and the 1addition of the new dam to the former seriés of dams above the falls, only about four inches of water was passing over the falls. except in one place, near the Ontario shore, where the water w ten inches deep. Potvin,after putting on a pair of rattsmen’s boots. well caulked, with the usual sharp nailsin the soles. started to walk across the face of the falls. He pro- Cecdetl very steadily until about three- quarters of t':.c way across. when the cur- rent became very strong and the water deeper. Steadying himself. he proceeded cautiously, carefully planting one foot on the rocks before lifting the other, and in a few minutes from the time he started climbed up on a pier. below I’erley it I’attee‘s sawmill. The feet was watched by a large number of people, mostly men who were employed in the mill, as it was not generally known that Potvin intended to make the attempt. Notwithstanding thelowness of.the water the feat was a" dangerous one. Had he missed his tootin for a moment he would have been hurle into the cauldron below, with no possible hope of escaping death. A Bnfl'alo despatch s a: No marine disasters of consequences: reported as the result of Wednesday night's gale in this section except the schooner Manzanilla, which was reported ashore last night. The Manzanilla went on between Brocton and Dunkirk. on the southern shore of Lake Eric. A Brocton. N.Y.. correspondent sends the lollowing details: The Man- zanilla. a three-master, Capt.Geo. O’Brien, of Kingstoh. master, sprung a leak off Van Buren Point. and was run ashore westof the Point at about 8.30 o’clock yesterday (Thursday) morning. She was bound from Cleveland to Toronto with a cargo of block stone and grindstones. There was a crew of seven men besides the captain. Tll‘e crew went ashore in a small boat. leaving the captain on the vessel. The boat was smashed by the waves soon after the crew landed. The lifesaving stations at Buffalo and Erie wore notified by telephone. but failed to respond, and Captain O’Brien remained on the wreck until late in the afternoon, when he was rescued by Sher- man Oats and two other men who came from Barcelona in theflshing boat Beecher. ’l‘he rescuing party were unable to land at Van Baron, and were obliged to bring the exhausted captain to Dunkirk, where they arrived at 8.30 last evening. The vessel is a total wreck. She had aninsuranca in the Western Assuraxne, of Toronto, of 54,000. The vessel was built by Shickluna. of St. Catharines. and was one of the fleet owned by Captain James Murray. of St. Catha- rines, which laid the basis of his fortune before he became a contractor for Govern- ment works.

It was not their intention, how- ever. to proceed in any way so as to hamper their financial resources to the smallest de- gree. They hoped to carry on this great work without encumbering the resources of the company. The construction of the Montreal station had been delayed, but the directors were anxieus to hurry the work on before winter. The city was now doing what it ought to haw done before, namely, making a. dyke to keep out the river. Negotiations were proceeding to enable the company to place their rails along the dyke. Last winter was a most extraordi- nary one, as he had said, and it was, there- fore, all the more creditable to their ofiicers that they had been able to reduce the work- ing expenses to 70 per cent. THE CANADIAN PACIFIC. The Chairman then referred to the ex- tensions recently made or now in progress by the Canadian Pacific. characterizing‘ as most extraordinary the action of the Canadian Government in subsidizing that company to make a line across the State of Maine. After their past, experience, the competition of the Canadian Pacific had no longer any great terrors {or them; yet it required constant watchfulneas, and was not to be undervalued. The discovery of gas in a heading has interfend with the construction of the St. ' Clair tunnel. The main tunnel is now about to be commenced. The probable cost will be half a million pounds, but he, was confident the tunnel would be a saving and not a burden on the company’s resources. The result of an arrangement with the Atcheson, Topeka A’ Santa Fe Company at Chicago would be that the Grand Trunk would benefit £17,400 yearly. the route to San Francisco being 3,357 miles, compared with 3,538 miles by the Canadian Pacific. The object of the Grand Trunk Act. which the meeting was now asked to confirm. was simply to save £0,000 yearly by purchasing, IA...__J.._‘..A1.._, betWeen Montreal and Toronto won on im- portant work, and would add to the safety and do {way with delays and enoble them properly to compete with the Canadian 1....” . , .. . l-‘onGGn -._A 4|,,h i .. _-.â€" -‘\.I~."A an“ that they would get the traffic back. Add- ing together all the receipts from their lines, they had £11,500 more then in the corresponding period last 'ear. In the present hall-year they he so for done better than in the first half, and up to the latest accounts had an increase of £16,000 in the gross receipts over the corresponding period in 1883. They had met increased competition be. tween Montreal and Poterboro’ to a greater extent than anywhere else. yet at those points they had taken more traffic in and out during the half year than ever before. They had lost Mr. Squirea’ hog traflic. and in the has few weeks had temporarily lost the dress beef traffic. but he thought the quarrel would_o_n)y be a lover’s quarrel and a revival even beyond tha't which took lace in the memorable year 1883. They iad carried more passengers and a greater quantity of goods than in any previous half-year. and at the same time. despite the unusually heavy snowfall, had reduced ; the working ex mes to 70 per cent. The effect of the nter-State Commerce Law had not yet been fully experienced, but as far as the local Canadian traflio went they were not, of course, affected by the Act. They had lost passenger tragic to the Northwest in consequence of the competi. tion of the Canadian Pacific. but only to a moderate extent. They had also lost some traflic from the Baltimore 5: Ohio line and from the Central Pacific, but had been able to make the losses good in other directions.
