Some years ago Rev. Isaac Collins was
preaching at Spedden's church, Neck

good feelings and business relations,

The merchants, of that city, are now
endeavoriDg to attract the trade of the

less will, trade more extensively with
them, if kindly treated.-Leaces Light.

test.
Mr. FIvs said he trusted something more
than a mere remonstrance would be m ade.
Mr. Mackey of Cape Breton, said that the
duty would seriously affect the lower provinces
1t would be absurd to say that the tins in which
Holsters were conveyed were OF commercial
value in the United States, and therefore there
were no grounds for imposing the tax The
discussion there ceased.
The Senate Yesterday discussed the bill for
the regulation and maintenance of naval tee-
graph cables, in committee OF the whole. Elev-
en- out OF 10 clauses were adopted. Ga the
10Th clause an amendment was moved to fix
the maximum rate for messages at so cents per
word. A question of order was raised on this
point as it was question of revenue, and it
had not been settled when the Senate ad-
iourned.
The government has carried to a third read
