The news is highly important in many respects
We find, from all the statements the various pa

that notwithstanding the various drawbacks the
manufacturers have to contend with, that the mills
are beginning to move with astonishing velocity

additional proof.

Take il all in all, the news is the most satisfactory

LONDON, Aug. B. 1912.
Parliament is getting rapidly through the business
OF the session, prior to the recess The royal
has been given within the last few days to vast
number of bills public and private. There have not
been many bearing upon Colonial matters: The
Van Dieman's Land bill, the South Australia b
the suppression of the slave trade BILL and the Fish
cries, British Islands bill, the customs act amend
ment bill. The Colonial passengers bill was also
read third time and passed on the 18th ult. The
Newfoundland Government bill was introduced on
the 23d July, but postponed to the 30th when long
discussion ensued upon the motion of Mr.. O'Con-
nell to postpone the bill for three months, to enable
communication to be had with the parties | refer
you to the debate, which you will find fully reported
in the Times, particularly to the able speech of the
Secretary to the Colonies. The bribery at cleo
tons bill Is proceeding slowly through the house
in consequence of the opposition made to many of
the stringent clauses. The committee appointed TO
inquire into the compromise at elections to avoid
the pains and penalties of bribery have issued their
report, which contains some astounding facts tend
ing to prove the lavish expenditure OF money for
bribery at the last election by both parties Mr..
Roebuck, the chairman of this committee, brought
forward the 2Sth ult. some resolutions calling for
legislative proceedings to punish the offenders, and
moving that the wris of the guilty boroughs be sus-
pended until legislative proceedings to protect the
purity of elections had taken place. The resolutions
were howevera AL negatived, and the long suspended
writs have since been granted.
Goodwood Races, which is one OF our most cele-
brated sporting meetings, were held last week, and
went off with their usual eclat. The value of the
stakes ran for amounted to about El6, 600. The

The operation of the Income Tax as its provisions
come into force, is becoming more and more OBJ
noxious. 1t is not at all improbable that the West
India Mail Steam Company will be given up as the
directors and shareholders are unable to continue it
longer at the serious loss they are mourning. The
Company have, it is said, solicited Government to
be allowed to run only one packet per month for the
same sum as they now receive, or else TO have
additional sum Of fl6OOOO per annum, making, in
all, f4O0,OO0 for running two vessels per month.
1t is not likely that she Government will agree 10
either of these propositions and the most reasonable
conjecture is, that they will make of the Halifax
line, and from thence lay on branch steamers for
the collection and distribution OF the inter-colonial
mails. The North American line has been most
speedy and punctua, while the West India line has
been tried and found wanting.
