The contest between the rival rajlroad companies, ins the Quebee and Melbourne Company, and the Provisional Comunittee for the North Shore line, is becoming interesting and lively. The formor has beon, many times zince its birth, brought to the eof the grave by the crrors of its managers, and the distrust generally folt in their administra- At this moment its stock can be purchased oa “change at fifty per cent discount. Money they havo nol, wid eanvot obtain. By the agreement they made with the Corporation of the city of Quebec, the! i joy a priviloge on the proceeds of the railroad, for the due payment of the interest on itsJoun of £100,000. What capitalist would ad- venture his fands in a concern thus mortgaged? It ix not at all likely that the road will ever pay more than £6,000 per annum—g2t,000—over and above its working expenses; and until this um has been handed to the city treasurer, the shareholders must content themselves with the glory of having boen instrumental in carrying into effect a useless rail- way through that earthly paradise, the castera townships. aay: ‘These considerations seem to have so dispirited the directors that they are making but feeble attempts to stem the progress of the rival lino. Tho lion, Pre-ident of the latter has published a letter to the new Colonial Secretary, Sir John Pakington, in which the advantages of the North Shore route, in rcial, polit ili point of view, ace InieiBRe anh ably ins his letter has heen published in wost of the newspapers, and no attempt, either Lo refute or question its contents, has hitherto made. In point of fact, it i d, unless intrigae at home carry the there is no doubt that the imperial cabinet will adopt the North Shore line as the track of the great tink railway.

As, however, vance irremediable without a radical ige_ in our electoral divisions, the hostility he Board of Trade can only display itself ina kind of guerilla warfare—a series of skirmishes, on g all sorts of pretexts, which latter, it must be ac- | knowledged, the administration has not been slow to furnish. ‘Thus, the Board was given to under- stimd that grave irregularities were committed in the management of the Marine Hospital—that pa- tients were robbed of their money—that female y tue was outraged—that peculation was carried on to anulanning extent—that a total disregard for” tho comfort and welfare of the inmates of the insti- tution was evinced by the officer and these charges were supported. by affidavits which, to all appearance, seemed entitled to faith. A represer tation was made by the Board to the executive ut, after some correspondence, the Provincial Sec- retary informed the complainants that no investi- gation would take place. 1 have no doubt that many of the charges brought against the institution were exaggerated— they may cven have been totally false—but it would perhaps have been wiser, evon for the interest of the sed, to have granted the desired inquiry. Again: a dixpute took place b - tween the Superintendent and Inspector of Police und the Board, about the proceeds of the timber found floating in the river. After good deal of re- crimination—not particularly creditable to any of the parties concerned—ihe government took the matter in hand, got a law passed, taking the con- trol of the moneys derived from the river police tay out of the hands of the Board, and stigmatized, through the premie: nfoutaine, the Board of Trade of Quebce its iu narrow-minded, contemptible set of men—little better than an association of crimps. OF cou absurdity of such a charge was simply ridic restore harmony between the Exchange and Go- vermnent House. Again: representations have been made by the Buard of Trade to government, on va- rious subjects connected with the trade of Saint Lawrence, but. they have almost invariabky been treated with indifference, and in some i have not even been acknowledged or notice all these subjects the report gives expression to ng sentiments, and will doubtless be no- d with curiosity and surprise abroad. In Britai it will appoar somewhat anomalous that the provi cial government should have thought so little of the representations of the Board of Trade of the great- est seaport, and the capital of Canada, on the com- mercial laws of the province: to neglect even to acknowle ir receipt by the secret: You w publication of a correspondence, which Was alleged to have taken place between one Dugald McNab sud Mr. Hineks, some years ago, according to whic the Inspector General had written a libel, paid Me- N umm of money to acknowledge himself as the author, and obtained a pardon for hin aftor his con I thought at the time, the letters were forgeries, and it seems that Mr. Hincks is prepare: dicted J. ¢ sof Woodstock, for a libel.

One of tho best signs of snipe baing plenty is when shad become abundant in the mouths of our rivors. We have had very little shad as yet. Owing to the coldness of the present spring, aad the fact of those vast districts ot bog meadow that lie along the banks of tho Puasiic, the * Big Pioce,” the * Little Pievo,” the “Long Meadows,” and ‘ Lowises,” &e. &e., bein, tho great yet, ix but vory indilfo- : a living by shooting, oo plain of want of omployment.

But the groat flight of birds do not appear to have come as yot, and will not till the weathor warm, and the water is of the moadows—which would only tuhe # fow dry days without tho intorvontion of n wet ono. ‘This place is either tho best or the worst snipe ground in tho country, deponding alto- gethoreon the weather. Only very few gentlomen have como here as yet from New York. ‘the head quarters is tho hotel of GM ne, who is an old sportainan himsolf—gives every information to tho tribe-- keeps an excollent table, almodorate torms— and is a very accommodating, good fellow. in or- dinary seasons, spring snipe shooting would be now at its height. “This yoar it has hardly begun. fn two days last week, however, a youag man from New York shot forty-eight. birds some four or five miles trom here.

Thoy have ostracised those who kept public houses. But in other districts tho persecution, though attempted, has been crushed, and common sense has prevailed over fanaticism.
