NOVA SCOTIA.-T.HE WAR.

SHARE MARKETS.
(THIS DAY.)

The House of Assembly of Nova Scotia, on the
29th ult., unanimously adopted an address to the
Queen expressive of their sympathy with her Ma-
jesty in the war with Russia. Mr. Howe, the
Provincial Secretary, delivered a speech on the
address amid loud cheers in the following words :
Mr. Speaker, the province of Nova Scotia has, for
the last hundred years, been a firmly attached and loyal
portion of the British empire. She has steadfastly
maintained her allegiance through all the vicissitudes of
peace and war. Loyalty is here an enduring sentiment,
and whenever there is menace or danger from abroad our
Sovereign .is nut left to doubt of the strength of our feel-
ings, or of our readiness to sustain to the utmost of our
power the honour of the British flag and the authority
of the Crowe.. When thesearein peril, the voice of faction
is hushed—party. feelings subside—party distinctions are
obliterated, and a united Legislature prepared to defend
our,
..comm.on..country, or to send to the foot of the
Threne, the expression of sentiments which are shared
alike by all.ranks and classes of our people. Sir, I look
back with pride to a period in our history, within the
recollection -of many around me—when with singular
unanimity and enthusiasm the whole resources, physical
and pecuniary, of Novia Scotia, were placed at the dis-
posal of the Lieutenant-Governor, when the frontier was
endangered, amidst the acclamations of the people and
of their representatives. At that time I led the Oppo-
sition in this house, but I at once tendered support to
tbe government of the day, as I am happy to know
that the ' leader of the Opposition will now second
the motion which I am about to make. Then, as
now, our Flag was about to be insulted—our
country embroiled with -a Foreign Power. We are
not now threatened with any immediate danger.
There is peace on this continent, and I trust it may be
preserved. But our brethren at home are about to
enter upon a struggle the end of which cannot be fore-
told. The fleets and armaments on their way to the
Baltic and the Black Sea instruct us that they are in
earnest. It is but right that the outlying portions of
the empire should comprehend and should discharge the
obligations which, in such a crisis, rest upon them. A
common sentiment should thri 1 throughout the empire.
The SoVereign should feel that her subjects, wherever
situated, are united as one man. It is our dutyto take
the earliest opportunity of declaring to our Sovereign
the feelings of our people. Lit there be no doubt in her
mind—let it be felt and knoWn that, whatever may be
our party struggles or differences of opinion, there is
but one feeling in Nova Scotia, when the flag of England
is unfurled. The latter clause of this address 1 trust
will not be disapproved.

Whatever might be our regret at the withdrawal of
her Majesty's troops, I believe that I am not much mis-
taken when I assume that the militia of Nova Scotia
about to be enrolled and embodied would be able to de-
fend 'their own soil and to protect her Majesty's forts
and *arsenals, should our gallant soldiers be required
elsewhere. If they can they ought, and we should not
detain a single regiment here that might be wanted in
the Mediterranean.

Entertaining those sentiments, Mr. Speaker, I beg
leave to move the following Address :
" TO THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY.
" The humble Address of the Representatives of the
People of Nova Scotia.
"May it please your Majesty,—We, your Majesty's
dutiful and loyal subjects, the Commons of Nova Scotia,
have learned with extreme regret, that your Majesty's
Government has been compelled to fit out armaments, and
prepare for active hostilities, in order to maintain the
faith of. treaties, and guard the interests of the empire
from the aggressive spirit manifested by the Emperor of
Russia. Though far removed from what may be the
theatre of war, your Majesty's loyal subjects in Nova
Scotia will regard, with grave solicitude, the operations
a your Majeety's forces by sea and land, and your Majesty
may be assured that, wherever the national flag is borne, their
sympathies will follow it; and that, in triumph and disas-
ter, the efforts of its gallant defenders will ever be marked
with deep interest in this portion of the empire. Should
the land forces now in this province be required elsewhere,
your Majesty may rely upon the loyalty and devotion of
the militia of Nova Scotia, who, until the return of peace
in Europe, will defend their own country, and protect
your Majesty's forts and arsenals from foreiga aggression."

THE CONSERVATIVE LAND SOCIETT.—The seventeenth
public drawing for 70 rights of choice on the society's
estates took place on Saturday, at the offices, No. 33,
folk-street, Strand, in the presence of the Rev. Dr.
Worthington, the Rev. Dr. Dodsworth, and a large
number of shareholders. The numbers drawn belonged
to members in various counties. The rev. chairman
announced that the allotment of the St. Margaret's
estates being fixed for the' 7th of June, the executive
committee' had' resolved to open the mansion and park
to public view for a few weeks, and that cards might
be obtained from the secretary. In answer to a ques-
tion as to the mode of allotment it was stated that the
surveyor's plan would not interfere with the beauty of
the grounds, as ornamental gardens would be laid out
with the villas. This announcement gave great satis-
faction to the meeting. The secretary stated that the
eighteenth public drawing was fixed for Saturday, the
13th of May, and that 31 numbers would be added to
the rotation list of seniority—making upwards of 900
out of the first thousand who were on the order of rights
by date of membership, although the 'society had only
been in existence 18 months.

PANOPTICON' OF SCIENCE AND ART.-0/1 Saturdhy,
Mr. Gottlieb Boccius delivered a lecture, in the above
institution, on the subject of artificial fish culture. Mr.
Boccius having given a brief historical account of the dis-
covery and progress of the art of propagating fish, said
o,dutie

till within a recent period the subject had not attracted
much attention, in consequence of the large percentage of
ova which were lost in the process adopted by previous
experimenters. . Sir, H. Davy had not been able to
obtain more than 5 per cent, of fish. Later experirnen-
ters had obtained 15 and .20 per cent. But by the me-

All that was necessary was pure water, kept from

millions of fish.
THE NEw BREAD,MAKING PROGRESS.—Mr. Pepper,
one of the chemical lecturers at the Polytechnic Institu-
tions, has devoted some time and trouble to ascertain the
secret of the process by which a greater weight of bread is
produced from a given quantity of flour than is now com-
monly
obtained, as shown in the recent experiments at
the Marylebone workhouse, It would result from
this report of Mr. Pepper. that while the increased
weight of the bread made from a sack of flour by the
new process is admitted—though not to the same extent
as claimed by the persons possessing the secret—the in-
creased ,weight is almost demonstratively proved to be
produced by the use of substnces possessing a capacity
for absorbing and retaining moisture ; and that the dif-
ference, therefore, is simply the addition of so much of
water—nothing more.
APPLICATION OF THE TELEGRAPH AND ELECTRICITY
TO MILITARY PURPOSES.—At a recent grand review at
Olmutz, Austria, at which the Emperors of Russia and
Austria were present, a sham fight on a grand scale,
the siege of the citadel, including the application of
electricity
- on the most recently approved principles of
ignition and combustion, constituted the most important
of the mancenvres which were practised. A Vienna
