She pm wednesday april 24, the ulterior consequences of the late War in both Asiatic and european Turkey pro Mise to be very serious to the resident popu lations. On Many of. The battlefields the dead remained unburied and in other rates time Only permitted that the corpses should be covered with a few inches of Earth. This state of affairs was a natural result of fight ing being carried on during a period of the year when the ground was hard. With the return of warm weather typhus fever has begun to show itself and is reported to be carrying Oft thousands of the Bussian and turkish troops besides Many of the unfortunate Russia and North America seem destined to find a formidable competitor in the Supply of the English Grain Market. The increase in the amount of wheat exported from India of late has been something quite remarkable and it seems there is practically no limit to the cheapness with which it May be grown. The importance of the growing Indian Trade in cereals can Only be estimated by the production of figures. In the first two months of 1875 Indian wheat had already taken a prominent place Worth of it being landed in great Britain. In the same two months of 1876, 1877, and 1878 the importations were to the of and it is considered that the last figures almost equal the amount that eng land might have expected to receive from Russia had the latter s Black sea ports been the Bitting at Ottawa. The papers containing full reports of the Twenty seven hour sitting of the commons on the Quebec question Are to hand. One paper deals with it in this Way during the first few hours it was conducted with some propriety and creditable speeches on both sides were made by such men As Langevin Jette and Devlin. But As the evening progressed it became evident that the opposition were determined to keep up a senseless debate and make Long speeches which would not effect in Tho least the decision of the House. Inattention and indifference soon degenerated into confusion and disorder. The bores read Long were greeted with All imaginable kinds of noise which quite drowned their voices. No one could hear what was said nor did the speakers or readers seem to More than one member came into the chamber drunk and had to be hustled out by their friends to escape falling into the custody of the ser Geant at arms. For some hours the House was the Acene of the wildest confusion and uproar. During the morning the House was generally quiet and endured the speeches. The majority were pretty Well worn out and in relays were glad to get a Little air rest or refreshment. At one time a quorum was barely found. But in the afternoon or. Laggart taking the floor the spirit of the afflicted majority Rose again and the scenes of the past night were at intervals repeated. Lady Dufferin came Down to witness the unusual spectacle and remained Home time in the House. There were Beveral musical performances other equally praiseworthy efforts for her excellency s Benefit the faded appearance of the members and the littered cleared As usual of its previous Day s debris showing signs of the nature of the unusual and extraordinary proceedings in which the House had been engaged. The orator of Tho moment made no secret of Hie purpose and announcing that he should base his review of the history of responsible on. The proposition that Man was nothing More than a Well developed Oyster left no one to reproach himself for occasional interruptions. The whole thing was so clearly a farce that every one was in Eood temper. When at last her Excel Lency and her companions were about to depart All the ministerial members Rose t their feet and began to sing god save the the opposition were scarcely t moment behind in joining in the Loya Anthem. The spectators crowded in every Corner of the galleries Rose too and even the impassive Gravity of or. Speaker was so far overcome that he also stood up. Three ringing cheers closed the performance soon after or. Haggart sat Down and or Pope Compton addressed the House apparently in sober Earnest. Or. Mackenzie Bowell followed and spoke till six o clock when sir John Macdonald who had come in late crossed the floor and arranged for a cessation of hostilities. The bargain a that the House should then adjourn t monday a vote to be taken on that even ing without further debate. The affair i generally considered anything but creditable to the House of commons the Toronto Globe is particularly sever upon the performance and Hopes tha a Long time will elapse before any thing like a repetition of it takes place. The Globe furthermore remarks there was nothing in the nature of the Subjec to excuse much less provoke such scene. A constitutional question to was before the House for decision and instead of gravely deciding it under a due sense of the responsibility devolving upon them the members on one Side talked a whole Day against time while those or the other Side resorted to the usual by none the less illegitimate methods o interrupting them. We do not care to attempt any distribution of the blame for an episode which has done More than any other in its history to bring the House of commons into discredit and mar its reputation for the orderly conduct of the Public Matilda o Neiel a Young woman of St. John to have been wedded recently but committed suicide by taking a dose strychnine.
