THE NEW CANADIAN TARIFF.

In the Lower House at Ottawa on 24th mat, Mr Fleming said the new Canadian tariff gave preference to British products. The Dingley Bill of the United States of America. Bhowed that America waa not disposed to trade with C .nada. It was necessary to shipe a policy with a aingh eye to Canada's own interests. Tlie German and Belgian treaties prevented the c lonies from granting Great Biiiain an exclusive preference tariff. The Government offered the countries willing to establish fair trade relations, similar privileges to Great Bri*aiD. England had dealt gaoeroualy and given large liberties to her colonies. She had even taxed her wares, while those of the colonies were admitted free. The English public did not favour a duty on breadstuffs, bui. why should the colonies wait for more from England. The members of the House and 2000 of the public, who occupied the galleries, ■ang the National Anthem. Mr Fleming's apeech haa attracts 1 much attention. Id England.

ADDINGTON MARKET.

Christohurch, April 28. ffihare were large eutriea and a g o& atten dance ftt the Aauington markefe to-day, but i easiness was irregular. Fat Cattle.—The week's supply consisted of 166 head. With the exception of three very prime heifers, which alone met good competition and changed hands at £7 IS* a piece, the sale was extremely dull and life less, and several lots were withdrawn. Prices per 1001 b show no change, viz.. 16s to 18s for prime quality, and 13 1 to 15s for inferior to medium sorts. Prices per head were—Steers, JE4 12a 6d to £6 12 1 6d; heifers, £3 12a 6d to £6 j and cows, £3 15a to £5 17s 6d. Stork Cattle.—The oniy sale at auction worth mentioning was that of a line of eighteen months oJd mixed cattle at 35a. Fat $&me.~ Between 7000 and 8000 sheep occupied the fat pens, and amongst these was a much larger proportion than usual of good freezing wethers and mixed sex s. Although these sold at well up to laßt week's prices there was not the same animation m biddine. Good freezing wethers brought from 12s to 14*, medium and mixed to 9s b<\, good young ewes 8* 6d to 10s, and aged 6s 6d to 7s 6d. Merino wethers brought 7j to 10s Id, and ewes 5s to 9=s 4d. Fat Lambs.—Another large yarding of fat iambs ometo hand, and there was a larger proportion of really good quality. Freezing buyers were operating freely, and showing a decided preference for any lambs of the down strain. Good freezing lambs brought 103 to 11s 6d» Store Sheep. -This class was better re presented than of late, and consisted mainly of crossbred wethers and lambs, only a pen or two of ewes being on offer. Three-p >rts fat wethers brought 10s 3d to 11s 61, not quite so good at 9i to 10s, and backward sorts 7s lid to 8s 9d ; good healthy forward lambs 73 to 8s 9d, medium 5s to 6a 9 1, and weedy and backward sorts 3a lid to 4s 9J. p IGS , —AH of prime quality met a good sale. Fats reaHsed from Id to l^d per lb, and stores brought late rates.

The yarding was ! made up principally of two and four too ih j ewes and wethers, some m forward condi- • tion, which met with keener competition than those more backward. A small entry of ewes and hoggets were notable, and these all sold well up to late quotations. The butchers' pens were again over-supplied, and several lots were passed out or sold to ■ graziere.

I wai down ah Howard ] Smith's wharf on the 19r,h of November last, where I was generally employed, ami at the time I met with my accident was taking a line ashore from an iiio'.ming steamer. Through colliding with a post whilst m the boat I got thrown into the. water, receiving a severe m jaiy o my head In addition fco being half drowned by the quantity of dirty water I ,<-wallowed. I was taken to the s-ydoey Hospital, where I remained three weeka ' 'Did they do you much good, Mr Smith? 'No, indeed ; th«y only patched me up for the time being, and it was lucky for mo that I got a bit of an easy j -b minding a gate at the wharf, for I was so desperately weak and debilitated that I coald not attembt to take on hard work. However, I managed to stay on for five wetka, and then returnpd ht me for three or four days rest, which I was bsrilyin need of. I then went (o see the Government Medical 0 bet r, who said my case was Incut able, and wanted me to go to Liverpool Asylum, bat thii I refused to do, so I ultimately re turned to Sydney Hospital, where I re mained three weeks.' 'Did you feel any better after that, Mr Smith? 1 'No, decidedly worse; m fast, twice over worse, and was glad to return home again. ' How did you feel affected, Mr Smlh?' 'Chiefly spitting of blood, which would keep me awake day and night. Mrsßees, my landlady, can tell you how bad I was; m fact Bhe thought it waa all ov< r with me »nd that I should not be long for this world.' ' How did you hear of Dr Williams' Pink Fills, which we were told was what palled you together again? ' Throngh a pamphlet being left at the house I thought at first that the pills were too expensive for me, but Mra Kees persuaded mo to try them, so 1 got a box and started to fake them according to the printed directions.

FTIHE Duke of Wellington carried a tender JL heart beneath a stern appearance. He is said to have been m tears the greater part of the day succeeding his great victory, and pathetic indeed, is the exclamation attributed to him, " Believe me, there is nothing more terrible than a battle won, except a battle lost." But who can describe a man's anger —controlled of course—where, eyery pre paration having been made for an urgent journey, eveiyv.' ' is lost through the horse falling lame; and the man—always the man—is the object of our pity. The horse's unuttered sufferings are rarely thought of, beyond the removal of the shoe (often unskilfully done) and an imprecation upon the blacksmith. The owner ought to consider his servant's comfort, who, could he speak, would say, " I uttered no com* plaint until forced; I used to be treated with greatest consideration and kindness! and a journey was always a pleasure to me when my shoeing was under the personal care of MR KINGSTON. 2 17 WILLIAM = =PATCHING, EAST STREET.
