CANADA.
Legislative.

Ottawa. March %. In the House, last night,
Mr.. Palmer, in moving the House into commit
imperial l. g,slation affecting Canadian ships and
the rights and liabilities of owners, contended
that the itcent imperial legislation had seriously
injured Canadian shipping and tended to prevent
the investment of capital in our shipping. The
Dominion stood in the foremost position as re-
CARDS its hipping interest, and therefore efforts
should b. made to encourage it. In the mer-
chants shipping act, the imperial government had
given the light Of legislation in regard to ship
ping to tbs colonies; and, moreover, that power
was expressly given the United States by the
British %oih American act. After some debate,
Mr.. Pa mtr Withdrew his motion.

Committee Hearing.
The Committee on Ways and Means gave a

tyes of the iron and steal interests, of the copper
and yellow metal interests and of the wire able
and wood screw Interests, in com 'iioI With t.c
proposed notifications OF the tanl. he lIuu and
steel men protested against any disturbance Of the
tariff on the ground that the whole country is in
u dreadful state of industrial decentralization, and
any disturbance of the tariff, whether an increase
or reduction, would be equally injurious. The
copper and yellow metal interests represented
by Mr.. Grape of Mass, Horatio Bigelow of Bos-
ton, and others. The objection to the proposed
tariff was principally on the ground that it allowed
the importation of copper ore free Of duty. The
interests of the wood screw manufacturers were
represented by NJ. j. Woodruff of New York, and
Mr. Edwin Angall, President of the American
Screw Co., Of Providence, II. l., both of whom
favored an increase of the proposed rate of duty
on the smaller size of screws, while q. w. Bruce,
a New York importer of hardware, presented the
opposite view of the question and argued against
any increase OF the duty on screws.

JAMES l. FELLOWS, ESQ.
DEAR SIR: IIhave recently heard from an inva-
lid of the great benefit derived from your Com
pound Syrup of Hypoposphtes, and having in
many other instances marked the most benetic ial
results from its use, cannot but regard its dis
covery as matter OF devout thankfulness to a
benign Providence.
| have used it considerably myself, and, at in
tcrvas during several years past, given it to some
members of my family.
have also recommended it to others, and in
varably found it to be essential benefit in those
complaints for which it is especially recommend
ed.
In bronchial and other chest affections, in arrest
ing incipient consumption, and in lessening the
distressing symptoms of this disease in its hopeless
stages, as we'll as in cases of nervous debility, in
giving tone to the system, it is undoubtedly val
liable remedy.
am dear sir, yours truly,
JOHN MURRAY, Methodist Minister.
