'j( The city of Glasgow bank directors were sentenced on Saturday, Stronach and Potter to eighteen months, and Ire othera to eight aaonthsr imprisonment, Dufaure having refuged all Inducements to remain in office. President Greyy entrusted Waddington with the task of forming the new Cabinet. The Sew York Hermit Paris despatch has an astonishing rumor to the effect that the Republicans intended to send MacMshoa to the Tincennea military prison if he had refused to yield to the nation's will. In connection with the Astrakhan plague, the Russian Government has anthorised the burning of TQlsgea where the epidemic prevails, when necessary. England has been asked to send medical men to report on the epidemic.

The Britiah troop in South Africa advanced into the Zola king's territory en the 11th of January, have received no answer to the ultimatum. It appears that there is a strong peace party among the savages, and the resistance to the English soldiers is sot expected to be very great. THE CAITLE DISEASE- We learn from Ottawa that, an order-in-Conncil haa been pasted, prohibiting the importation of cattle from the United States for three months from the 1st February and that the fact has been commanicated to the British Government, with the view ef preventing, if possible, any interference with the shipments of cattle from Canadian ports. This action on the part of the Canadian Government will, we are sore, be satisfactory to the public, especially to those who are interested in the cattle export trade, ilr. Pope has, we have reason to believe, been unceasing in his efforts since this difficulty arose to prevent injury to this important and growing Canadian interest.

We print this mornirig some information on the subject, showing the action of the Imperial authorities and of the American Government in relation to the cattle trade, which will prove of interest to those connected with the business, or in any way concerned about it. THE HI AG ABA ELEOIIOH- The standard of purity has been again elevated so high, that it has disappeared. and Mr. Hughes, the candidate in the Niagara election of the party of purity, has been disqualified. The evidence showed that there had been the most terrible corruption on the part of this gentle man and his friends, and that the major ity of two, by which he obtained temporary possession of the seat was the result of the most unblushing and wide-spread bribery, ilr.

Hughes was evidently selected to lead what was undoubtedly a forlorn hope in the constituency of Niagara, only because he had plenty of money and would consent to ussercpulously use it His honours have been abort lived, and he has now plenty of true for reflection a poorer, let us hope a wiser man, as the result of his ambition to ait in Parliament. 'The seat would have been given to Mr. Plumb, but far the fact that there ia a counter petition against him, which has not yet been tried. Our report states that the trial has been postponed until the 11th March. We are not aware of the reasons for this postponement, but they had need to be strong ones to justify it There ought surely to hare been no great difScntty in giving one at once, so that if the charges are not proved, Mr.

Plumb might take his seat on the opening of Parliament, or if, as to any of them, they were proved, a new writ might issue, and the member be able to take his seat early in the session. As it is, Niagara sUnd a fair chance of being disfranchised during this session or the greater part of it. As we have said the postponement may have been inevitable, but it is undoubtedly most inconvenient CHIEr OF POLICE- We understand that the Police Committee at their last meeting decided to superannuate Captain Penton, on account of continued ill health. The appoint meat of his successor will, therefore, be one of the first and most important questions to be settled by the new Council, one in which the safety and good name of our city are to a large extent involved, and it is absolutely necessary that it should be discussed in an impartial spirit, and that no4ocal prejudice be allowed to interfere in the selection be the best raw to fill the position. Au application to the Council recommending Capt.

Heigham of the Quebec force for the office is being circulated, and has already been signed by a large number of our most influential citi. sens. We strongly hope the new Council will act upon ibis application and give the appointment to Capt Heigham, whose experience, ability, and past record give him pre-eminent claims on the ground of fitness for the office. Thoroughly well educated, conversant with both languages, possessing in a high degree all the qualities of tact, firmness, energy and activity, which are the characteristics of an efficient police officer, and uniting to these qualities the faculty per fected by long habit, of being able to com- rnandmeo, we are confident that as Chief of our police he would be emphatically the right man in the right place. Captain Heigham was first appointed in IS70 Superintendent of the late Gov eminent Police, which he and tho late Major Voyer organized, and retained that position until the disbandment of the force in 1877, when he assumed command of the" Quebec citjr force.

During this period, from 1ST0 to date, he has had msry difficult services to perform, in all of which he earned great credit for him self and his force by the able man ner in which he conducted affairs, The number of testimonials which Capt Heigham has received proves sufficiently, without further comment, the high esti maiion in which he is held by those with whom his duties brought him in contact Ilia Excellency the Earl of Dufferin wrote as fotows a.

This was a troublesome case of figuring, arising from there being several proprietors of the building leased, each of whom collected his part of the rent separately. The Court, however, had arrived at a conclusion with some degree of confidence, and judgment would go for $119.25. BATS TILLS, 1. Evaks. vs.

In law the defendant was bound to prove that the accident happened without fault or negligence on his part. He had not done so, and the plaintiff would have judgment for $45, the proved value of the horse. Champoux ts Socists pi Coi-stbuctioi Mont Rotal, and LArrsaBX, opposant.

City or Mostbsal. The plaintiff was a butcher, and obtained a license to keep a private butcher's stall. But the proper notices were not given, and the shop was closed by the Corporation. The plaintiff now brought an action ot damages. The Corporation pleaded that he had not obtained the license in a regular manner, and that he had no right to complain.

In strict law the defendants were right. It was the fault cf the subordinate officers of the Corporation, and the defendants were not responsible. The action would have to be dismissed but, as the plaintiff had been led into error by the sub ordinate emcera ot the Corporation, it would be dismissed without costs. PArrsEAO, J. Clhut vs.

Henri. The defendant pleaded that the indebtedness was not hers, but that of her two sons, one cf age, and the other a minor, with whom she was living. The Court was satisfied upon the evidence that the pretensions of the defendant were unfounded, and the plaintiff was entitled to judgment. Lkclaiks vs. Ratkobd.

The case arose out of the sale of a horse, 8th February, 1878. The declaration alleged that the horse sold to plaintiff was subject to glanders, and that there was a guarantee that it was free all defects. It appeared that the horse had been sold along with other articles for one sum, and plaintiff had not tendered them back. The horse itself was only valued at $50 out of the whole sum $160. The plea of the defendant was made out, and the action must be dismissed.

Cotxb vs. SicHABssoa, and two others. The defendants were members of the Montreal police force, one being superintendent. The action was for damages, an illegal arrest being charged, and that plaintiff was detained from Saturday night to Monday morning that this was done without reason, and hence the claim for damages. The plea alleged that defendants got reliable information that plaintiff was near when the murder of Hackets was committed in the city of Montreal that he was seen running away, and using words of encouragement to the mob, and that defendants acted in good faith in arresting him.

The facts of the case wera that toe Chief-of-Police received an anonymous letter, informing him that Coyle was a person implicated in the murder, and that he should be looked after. The information turned out to be without foundation, and the defendants clearly were not justified in making this arrest. The Court, however, had to considei that a murder had been committed of a very deplorable character, and that investigations were expected, and though the defendsnta were in error, yet Coyle was near the scene of the murder, and the defendants had some grounds for acting as they did. Tha damages, therefore, would be mitigated to the sum of $75, for which defendants would be condemned jointly and severally to pay. Bahqti Tills Maris vs.

Comdt G. whose prac" I fccal experience and judgment cannot be rienieI htint mwiIi) Aear.1 A weight I crrassx, vckbic, January, 1877. Hearing with extreme regret that there Is any probability of the dlsbandment of the Quebec Provincial Police, commanded by Captain Heigham, I have no hesitation In stating my opinion of that officer, and bis fores, derived from Ave years' experience ana daty In connection with that force, which I believe to be the best on this continent "In 1873, during the election riots, when there was some loss of life and a tolerable free use of firearms, among an excited mob, I learned, being In command of the troops called ont in aid of the police, that Captain Heigham possessed the calmness and pre cision of a tried soldier, combined with the patience and tact of a civil officer. His colleague, Captain Voyer, was also an excellent officer, but I happened to have Captain Heigham nnder my immediate observation on this as on several other subseqneat occasions, and I saw with admiratlcn the manner in which he kept at bay two large mobs with a single line of police, who rover drew revolvers, but maintained that position until the troops arrived to their rapport.

'In the tearless apprehension of deserters, and whiie in their detection, I have always had effectual support from the Quebec Provincial Police. The Judgment with which Captain Heigham controls so perfectly a force speaking two languages among people of different origin is not given to every man. T. Blakd S-raANGE, Royal Artillery, Comdt GA, Quebec" We are not in the habit of devoting our editorial columns to the promotion of individual interests but this is an exceptional case. It is impossible to overestimate the importance in a city like Montreal, of a thorough organization and command of the police department It is not a matter upon which the City Council can afford to experiment There are gentlemen whose names have been mentioned as applicants for the position, for whom we have the greatest possible respect, and whose interests we would gladly pro mote in any way in our power.

Bntitis no reflection on any of them to say that they have not that practical test of fitness for this particular position, which the long and eminently satisfactory experience of Captain Heigham presents. They might, any or all of them, prove after trial to be equally fitted but that is an experiment which the city cannot afford to make. We want, when we have the opportu nity of obtaining him, a Chief of Police whose past record puts the chance of failure out of the question, and gives from the first, assurance of success. We have such a man in the gentleman who now occupies that position in Quebec, and no question of mere local preference should be allowed to interfere for one moment with our securing the advantage of his service. The attempt of an evening Opposition paper to mix up party politics with the prosecution now going on in the case of the Collector of Inland Revenue, is simply disgraceful.

There has been no question of political animus. The duty of the Government in such a case is certainly not a pleasant one, but it is one which has to be performed in the public interest and it is simply a blackguard act to attempt to embarrass them in the performance of that duty by such comments as those which appeared in the Star of Saturday evening. The mistake which underlies the miserable nonsense with which the readers of that paper were favored, was in a-sxirairjg that a defalcation is to be treated like a common debt It is, unfortunately, a very different thing- and however disagreeable the daty may be, we hope the Government will perform it, and without reference to such attacks as that to which in this case they have been subjected.

Chicabo, January IB. There is a very general feeling of disappointment among the Episcopalians of this Diocese, that your good city ot Montreal was able to secure the return to it of the fiev. Edward Sullivan, who, for some years past, has officiated as rector of Trinity Church in this city. Jt is true be baa but returned to his old love, to the Church and associations with whkh he was formerly so closely connected, but we cannot get over a feeling of disappointment, if not of chagrin, to think that he hes preferred the Canadian metropolis at a lower salary to the leading city ot Western America. Mr.

Sullivan carries with him the good wUhs of a host of friends and admirers, who like him all the more that when retiring from the rectorship of the second largest Protestant Episcopal Church here, he had the courage to utter some rather unpleasant tiutbs as to the why and wherefore. The burden of bis complaint was, that the Church wis in debt, and seemingly hepelessly so that he had carried the burden as long aa he could, and failing to find encouragement lor the hope that the congregation were in earnest in attempting to rid itself of its load of mottgsges, was glad to welcome the call to another field oi labor, where his spiritual eflorts would not be continuously thwarted by matters with which It was no part of bis buin as to have anything to do. oa. scluvas's cabssb Churchman in the Diocese of Illinois, has done him great credit, lie was, indeed, the ltajvr of the evangelical wing of the Church, and was, oa more than one occasion of recent dt made its standard-bearer in the hopeless contests it has waged to secure the epucopata from what, ia clerical parlanee, I believe, is si led the "Conservative party." His well-known, robust ngurd, ready ad dress, eloquent speech, and indomitable courage, made him one of the notables at all the i Lurch conventions which he attended. His Irish blood occasionally thoved itself in bis lmpetaou declarations, ana on one particular cccaaion won the warm applause of all respect ible eocuty in this city.

The bnnday morning edition or a paper wnose motto is timely, Give all the nevs, and the dirtier the published a senea of arlicic under tne title of Walks among the Churches. No names were mentioned, but evety atom of villainous scandal thai could be gleaned by diligent search among refuse men and women rela tive to the orhcers and members of the par- Dculir churches seleeted, was printed, the whole being cloaked in a blasphe mous elaim that the promotion of true religion was the only end in i lew. Public indignation was very strong on the euI jact, but nothing was done. One morning the scnae took Trinity Church for his theme, and, in the spirit of a Bridport rem in, printed two column jot the most ribald scandal that could be It was the custom ot the paper in question to send one of its reporters to the church chosen to observe the conduct of the people under the attac k. In due course one of the attaches appeared in Dr.

Church, and took a front teat. The doctor observed the reporter who bore the same patronymic, and when he commenced his discourse, noticed that the scribe was ready, pencil in hand, to take down bis words. The doctor stopped, and leanioE forward requested the young man to cHiicontinne takicir totes. There waa no answrrr and Dr. bnllivan was continuing, when igiis the scribe's pencil was brought nto use.

The matter ol the rcctoi's speech a as with reference to the scandalous publication of that momicg. Dr. Sullivan again re-asted the reporter to diacottinoe, or to 1 ave the church. thk swar-arsa writs arose in the pew and said that he waa there by infraction, and unlets put out would be ob'i4gcd to continue Ukiog notes. Dr.

Sullivan said tis tturcb should tot be desecrated by aaiooo coon ctrd with su a soaadalons pib icik-n, and some ct the nbers having come orward. the yennff man was lea away and lbs service returned.

It is, indeed, a little scandalous to see on the record of chattel mortgages the fact blazoned forth that so and so, trustees of this Baptist, Presbyterian or other society, have raised so much cash on the carpets and furniture of their churches, or that so-and-so has a mechanics' lien on the organ which ornaments the loft.

Indeed, the marvel of the hour is the In- crease shown by the Spiritualists. They have hitherto been divided into small bodies, but last week they came together and organ ized what they call a spiritual conference." Sunday morning they held their first united meeting, and propose to hold similar services hereafter. The attendance at these Spiritualistic services is very large, and the people among the best in tha city. If this though be the marvel, the recent ukasa of of the Revivalists, Messrs. Pentecost and Stebbins, is the sensation of the hour.

These two gentlemen are holding revival meetings in different churches, and taking charge of the noon-day and other services of the Young Men's Christian Association. They hold their meeting? in Farwell Hall, which is capable of seating 2,000 persons, and is generally full One morning last week Mr. Pentecost announced that prayers were not desired from women, for the reason that their voices could not be. heard over the whole hall, and, further, that no one waa to be allowed to offer prayer unless he came upon the platform to do ao 1 It seems that there bad been no consultation held before the promulgation of this order, and as the services are attended chiefly by ladies, and some of them are eloquent and experienced speakers, there was riot and insurrection at once. But the Evangelists have persisted, and the voice of suppliant women is heard no more at the revival meetings.

Need I say, there is woe ia Israel, and Rachel refuses to be comforted. Tax opraa ass a KtrsDax. Repulsed here, lovely woman has exerted herself in more than ordinary measure at the recent season of Italian opera which we have enjoyed, thanks to Manager Mapleson. Fourteen performances were given, presenting eleven operas, all of which were admna-bly rendered. The manager meditated one of those monstrosities, a Sunday Sacred Concert" at Milwaukee, but the scheme fell through, and, for the first time in two yeais, Haverlej 's theatre had its doors closed on Sunday night The attendance at some of the performances was immense, $6,500 being taken in at the representation of "I Puri-tani," with Gerster as the Roundhead's daughter.

The toilets were superb, and a perfect whirlwind of receptions, teas, tc kept society agog the entire fortnight Mapleson won many friends, and promises to return in August. Meanwhile, we think of building a new opera house for him. Poor woman Mamie Stevens, the child-wife of an acknowledged roue, who was mur dered by her husband last summer in one of the public parka, is to know no rest even in the grave. The trial of her dastard husband was to have begun on Monday, but he filed a long affidavit for a continuance in which he charged his dead wife with the committal of every crime from which a true woman would revolt He got his continuance, for the reason that, so technical and yet so loose is the law, if it had not been granted, he would undoubtedly have gotten a new trial if he had been convicted. defence is emotional insanity."

Maris vs. firmed. David vr. Dcdsvois. Macxat, J.

The defendant was sued for $26 for pasture for two cows, which ha was in default to furnish under the agreement. This was part of tha price of the land. The amount was proved. Then there was a question of fences. He had undertaken to maintain and keep up (nuinienir) the fences; but it turned oat that the fetces were totally wanting la some places.

The Court waa of opinion that the defendant could not be held chargeable for the cost of making new fence, and the judgment would, therefore, have to be reformed to the extent of $14. Cbassos vs. Grsocx, and Giaoux, oppo- sant, and plaintiff contesting. Mackat, J. The judgment of the Court below, which found that tha plaintifl bad not made out his case, was correct, and the tie re opposi tion was properly maintained with costs.

There was a point of law, as to whether the opposint had a right to come in by tierce opposition. The judgment on that point was correct The Code says that any pel son interested where the judgment, in a case to which he was not a party, aSects his rights, may come in by tierce opposition. Here the judgment declared a certain horse to be com mon to two persona, and as the opposant claimed to have a property therein, he had a right to come in. Judgment confirmed. Bocass vs.

The Court found that the plaintiff did commence the fight, and his nnzer was bitten in tne struggle. i ne doctor was called in some time afterwards, and it was necesstry to cut off a joint of the finger. Since the institution of the action. the man bad lost nis arm, cue gangrene ha vice extended upwards. This circum stance, however, could not be taken into consideration in the present case.

The plea of self-defdnce could not enable tne aeien- dact to go free, where the violence used to repel an assault was greatly in excess of that committed by tne otner side, incautnon. ties were clear on that point. Here the de fendant used unnecessary violence, and judgment must go against him for $150 damages, and costs. BorsQczT vs. Baowa.

Mackat, J. The defendant was sued for the price of a lot of land. He said he was a minor, and had no right to buy land. The Court was of opinion that a minor, even if he had not pleaded his minority, had a right to suggest the fact to the Court at any stage of the case, and get relief, as he was incapable of defending himself in a Court of Justice.
