DOMINION MArrERs.-There was absolutely
nothing last week ofgeneral interest in the af-
fairs of our Dominion neighbors. The news
papers seem to be still very decidedly opposed
to the financial schemes of the Government,
and the boldest of them do not hesitate to say
that it means forced loan by the Banks, now
that the Insurance Companies have been laid
under contribution and sustained all the pres
sure they could well do. There is now no
doubt that the whole matter will 60 over til,
another year and probably never come up
again in SO Objectionable shape.
The Queens Birthday passed off very quiet
ly and some say without the old enthusiasm
but we Judge that there was no appreciable
neglecto the occasion and that it only shared
the fate that is lately attending holidays gem

-Methuselah did not live so long as he
might have done had he attended to good ad-
vice; for it is written that, as he was sleeping
on the ground, when well stricken in years,
an angel came to him and told him that, if he
would rise up and build himself house to lie
in, he would live five hundred years more.
Methuselah made answer that IL was not worth
while to take house for so short term. And

Lien-Important Opinion by Judge Brady.
carroll Us. Coughtda and Smith.--Judge Brady
has delivered an opinion IN this case, in which he
holds that the acts authorizing mechanics liens and
their foreclosure develop an intention by the Legs-
lature thar the owner should possess the right to
compel a speedy termination OF Ine validity of a
lien against the property, which lfenor should not
retain simply because he chooses for any reason TO
delay during the greater part OF the year given him
to enforce ms lien. The reason for such construc-
ton, he says, Is obnoxious, and is-that the lien
beng an remembrance upon the the pro-
perry, affecting Its value and also a
cloud upon the title, 1t should not be
permitted TO remain, II unauthorized by the facts,
one moment beyond the time necessary 70 deter
mine in legal mode It's truthfulness 1t is my opin.
Ion, therefore that sections four, five, seven and
OF this law, considered together in regard to the
rights OF the owner secured by their provisions, pro-
vide that he may serve notice on the enors to APP
pear. aud II they fan to appear and file statement
OF their claims within the time provided. that the

Costi9dn.-This case has been repeatedly before the
Courts and at the previous hearing was adjourned
In ORDER that the bonds ed by the defendants with
the Collector for the legal pursuit OF their business
as lottery dealers might be produced. The charge
preferred against them was that they did not pay
the special tax required by law.
Mi. Ethan Allen produced receipts showing that
the defendants mentioned had paid the tax, ana
also handed IN the bonds filed by them.
Assistant District Attorney Jackson stated that
lnasmuch as the warrants upon which the DEFEND
ants were arrested did not forth all the charges
and real questions involved he would move for the
defendants discharge since II was hardly fair 10
proceed against parties unless there reasonable
ground for supposing that the complaint could be
substantiated
Commissioner Shields observed that the charge
against the defendants was for not paying special
tax as lottery Dealers Their counsel however pro-
duced the receipts, which certainly disposed OF that
portion oil the complaint.
The case was accordingly dismissed.

An English Report of the Canal.

To THE EDITOR OF THE LONDON TIMES:-
SiR--n your issue OF the 10th ult you were good
enough TO publish letter OF mine giving account
OF the attempted voyage OF the Latf from Port said
to Ismaa, via the Suez Canal-an account very
different from that published by the Suez Canal
Company.
Mr.. LANCE, while tacity admitting the greater
portion OF my statement TO be correct absolutely
denies that the Lattf ever grounded IN any part OF
the canal.
assert that the Latti grounded not once, but four
times, the last and most serious time ten and a
fourth kilometres OF kantara that she touched
the ground slightly ten or eleven times; that
at the last shock she broke the propeller OF her
screw; that she is otherwise damaged, and that she
has since been and now Is IN the dry floating dock,
undergoing repairs.
l believe Mr.. Lange is on his way to Egypt, and he
will then be able TO verify this statement. In the
meanwhile, though an 'ambushedi correspondent
as those speaking the truth IN Egypt must needs
bel can assure him that have q better authority
for my statement of the voyage of the Latlf than
that OF any person who was not present.
May be allowed TO say, in conclusion, that the
cause OF the canal is not rendered popular by these
communal msstatements, TO which am sorry TO see
that Mr.. LANCE Tin ignorance, presumel, gives the
weight OF his nameY
