We have not the complete returns ofthe
Census of 1870 at hand, but it is estimated
on good authority that the total tonnage of
the Dominion at the present time is at least
q million, aud that Of 'all British North
America, one hundred and fifty thousand
greater. Of this aggregate there is a con-
siderable part made up of small vessels en-
gagged IN the fisheries. Of late years the
maritime provinces have embarked more
largely in the fisheries, IN the gulf and on
the banks, which can only be prosecuted
in schooners. Still a great proportion con

which are classed as A [ at LlOyd's, and
trelghts ia every quarter Of the globe.
Propellers are rapidly taking the place of
sailing vessels on the lakes, and many Of
them are OF a size beyond the capacity Of
the canals. 1t was a Nova Scotian, Sir
Samuel Cunard, who established the most
efficient an successful! line Of Steamers
that has ever carried the British flag across
the ocean. A firm Of Montreal merchants,
the Messrs. Allan, are also the proprietors
OF another line of ocean steamships, equally
famous for their speed and safety. This
company was formed in 1888, and now
owns some twenty steamers, those of the
main line ranging from 1000 to 1000 tons.

and has improved every opportunity 20 urge ITS
desirableness SINCE the project was first broacbed
in our columns in February last, vet We shall
freely concede space - any who may honestly
differ from Is ia opinion. a. well as to those who
advocate the cession. and the last is ably done by
writers IN to-day's issue.
There are those in the community who profess
70 view the project Of such a cession as 4 measure
calculated 70 be detrimental 10 the interests of the
native rane, but 60 lar, We have failed u near
any sound arguments advanced ia support OF that
view. IL Is quite sale 70 say that any treaty 10
be negotiated in the premises can, and undoubt-
eIy will be carefully framed 20 rs amply to pro-
vide for any and all possible contingencies affect
ing the interests of our own people and govern
ment, and it is neither fair nor reasonable 10 as
sumo in advance that His Majesty and his advisers
will be lacking in patriotism or foresight in that
particular. For our OWN part, we have that con-
fdence in the sagacity of His Majesty and his
scTupulous regard for the welfare of all his sub
jects as to have no fears for the result of any treaty
which shall receive his deliberate approval.
Seven months must elapse before the elections
for the next Legislature, and the session to follow
will undoubtedly be one of the most important
that this Kingdom has ever seen. Besides the
amendments to the Constitution proposed by His
Majesty Immediately after his accession, which
substantially restore the fundamental law of 1852,
and which will then come up for final action, the
Assembly will be called upon to consider the
treaty OF Reciprocity with the United States, now
or soon to be in process of negotiation on the
basis which has been indicated.
