TEEFY, Richmond Hill JOHN BROWN, Proprietor That new MISS ESDALE‘ ‘ Sir,â€"I read your leader on “ The Win- ter Port” in the Mail of to-day with not a ;little surprise and much regret. If after Canada has expended over twenty millions in the construction of an Intercolonial mil- way a question can legitimately be raised upon the impropriety of longer subsidizing a line of steamers to carry our mails past Halifax to a foreign port, then have all the advocates of that great work for more than twenty years been woefully mistaken. No one {has been more ready than myself to ac~ knowledge how much is due to the Messrs. Allan for the en;erp1'ize they have exhibited in their magnificent line 0f SleamShiPS- They have, however, bet?" l‘bemny 8115‘ tained by the Government of Canada be' cause they were performing a valuzlble 59" vice for the country, but to continue a 5211' sidy to them for carrying our mails to Port-i land. now that the Intercolonial railway is completed, and mails can be delivered all over Canada half a day earlier through a Dominion port, would in my iudgement be to expend the public money in sacrificing the interests of the whole country, for the benefit of a steamship com- pany. We have the authority of‘ those best quallfied to judge, as also past experience, when the difficulty was equally great, to show that the railway from Hali- fax may be operated whenever the road to Portland can be kept open, and it ought to be, and I believe is, a source ofjust pride to the Canadians that the time has come when the shortest route, in point of time, from England to New York as well as Quebec. Montreal and Toronto, is through the unrivalled harbour of Halifax. CHARLES TUPPER. 209 Jarvis street, Toronto, Nov. 20th, 1876. Spain is going to reorganize her army. The Dunkin Act in Haldimand has been lost. The Duke de Saldanha the Minister for Portugal in London, is dead. The Lincoln election scrutiny still drags on slowly. Russia disavowed any hostile designs either upon Constantinople or India. A freight train near Napanee was wrecked on Tuesday morning, no one hurt. It is reported that Turkey consents to grant Autonomy to Bosnia and Heme- govina. The Czar has conveyed to the Queen through Count Schonvalofi, his desire that peace should prevail. Pakenham is in a state of excitement over the mysterious disappearance ofone of its oldest residents. He was a. man prominent in religious and temperance circles and a magistrate; some of his most intimate friends are seriously af- fectcd by his absence. ' It is telegraphed as follows from Ot- tawa :'â€"â€"" There has has been exported this year 79,000,000 feet of lumber to the United States. American boats have of this carried 60,000,000. In 1874 all the lumber exported to the United States was carried by Canadian boats.” One recollects that the commencement of the summer the 'owners of Canadian vessels protested against the conduct of the American Government, which closed to them the entry to their canals. The Federal Government yeilded to their en treaties, caused our canals to be closed against the Americans. After a few days Mr. Mackenzie yeilding, we do not know to what pressure, restored to the Americans the privilege for our vessels. It follows. on this that all our navigiation companies were forced to stop their trade and to leave their vessels at anchor in our ports. Let any one only go to La- chine and St: Annes to have the proof of‘ what we state. This is the manner in which we are treated by Mr. Mackenzie. He prefers the Americans to the Cana- dians, and kills Canadian commerce to their advantage; and M. Laflamme who represents a county so greatly affected by this question, quietly permits all this to be done. Why? Is it that the canal afl'air prevents him from giving any at- tention to his electors, or, indeed, that he has no influence whatever over Mr. Mackenzie.â€"-La Minerva. To the Editor of The Mail.
