EIiR TRADE

| FIR TRADE
| We find in the Montreal Herald of the 10Th
instant, an extract OF an act of the British Par
lament, regulating the Err trade, passed the
Cd of July, 1891. The object of this act by
the preamble, has for IFS object ia do away
the late competition between the Fur Com
panies, by hich lives and property have been
lost. The act empowers the Hing to make
grants Tor Fl years for exclusive trade to any
part OF North America, not being in the Hud-
sons Bay Territory, or 10 affect their rights
IN the Provinces, nor in the Territory OF the
United States, and not TO interfere with Anne
rican citizens beyond the Stony Mountains.
The number of Blackwood's Edinburg
Magazine Tor August, contains tale called the
Florida Pirate, which is wrought with some
power hut is at the same time ,mincntly a.
dapted, il not designed, to excite in Great
Britain the utmost odium again; The whites
of our Southern states. The hero is Il runa-
way negro, from his master of South Caro-
lima, and is made TO relate his treatment as a
slave, which is meant as general picture OF
the servile condition in those states. The fol-
lowing passage of his narrative may be taken
| as Il sample of its tenor:
"Oiten, while waiting at table, and listen
ing 10 their disgusting opinions, (planters of
South Carolina.) have been called forward
by one oil them nd struck severely on the face
for some trivial mistake | had committed in
serving him with. food or wine In South
Carolina the guests do not hesitate Ia chastise
their entertainers servants whenever they feel
inclined and party OF white people there
often make the cursing and heating of
the slave in attendance their chief employment

" On the 96th November last, at about day
light, capt. Hammct, (of Bosion) of the Eng
lish whale ship Greenwich, was killed together
with the second and third mate, and three of
his men by Malay that he got from Battago-
day. No one can tell what were his motives
for doing it. NJ. Gibson his chief mate, has

Our readers can form no proper idea of
the adulation wiki which the Irish papers are
now filed. The Aattcry and eulogies which
the pepsioned academicians of Louis XIV la
wished the object OF their venal idolatry,
was ratonal and chaste compared with that
with which the Irish writer's and orators are
bespatterinS constitutional monarch. His
| majesty's tour is, TO all inicnts aud purposes, a
pleasure tour. A monarch travelling under
{; strict ncognito, and who should associate
with all Glasses of his ubIccts who should
dine on the butter-miil and potatoes of the
peasant, rs well as on the turtle soup Of the
peer. might acquire knowledge Of their real
condition but it wouIi be worse than absurd
to expect that such knowledge can possibly
| be obtained by monarch travelling with a
magnificent equipage, and surrounded cxclu-
sivey by the noble and wealthy. compro-
mise has been made between the protestants
and the catholics, and the question of eman-
cipatiOn is not to he mooted during his ma
jesty's stay in Ireland. So far all is well But
because the one party have agreed to postpone
their claim 10 participate in all the privileges
of the constitution for month or six weeks
and the other party TO intermit their process
si)ns and not to boast oftheir monopoly for
the same period, their orators have taken il
into their heads to tell US, that their dissen-
tlons are orerer set al resi-, and that his majes-
TVS approach "has already done one great
good; has ertinguished the unfortunate and
| unnatural .jeudS which have been long the
source of national degradation and misery
The good sense thu King will not certainly
permit him to be deceived by such stupid and
absurd adulatlon. Whatever Mr.. O'Connel
and Alderman Archer may think, it is not by
sending hundred cooks TO Dubiin Castle, and
by making that ciiya scene ofexhiiration and
expense, that the least of The grievances under
which Ireland has long suffered will eyel be
removed. viii the festivities in Dublin lessen
the odous and oppressive burthcn of tylhes :
Will they soften the extreme rigor and seve-
rity of the revenue laws : Viii they diffusr
the blessings Of education VIII they raise
the wages of the Iabourer ? VIII they generate
taste for the enloyments, the luxuries and
the comforts of civilized life among The iinpo-
yerlshed peasantry ofthe country Every
man of sense knows that the royal visit can dc
none of these things aud ihat until they shall
have been done, Ireland must remain, what
she has ever been, poor miserable, and dis
tFacted country. EltinbUgh Scotsman.
