The Trent Valley Canal.‘. astounding figures, but they are never- theless true, and the whole carrying trade of the “'est would seem to be ours as soon as. the Trent Valley Canal is built, and Montreal is made a. free port. With such a prize in view, ev- ery impediment. standing in the way of its realization must be persistently atr ticked, and the citizens of Montreal ex- pect to see their representatives do ycoâ€" manry work this session on behalf of their suffering maritime interests. The proprietors of the finest Montreal ocean steamship, down to the owners of the clumsicst old timber ship of the Mari- tiue Provinces, or ofthc tiniest canal or lake boat in the West, are all deeply in- terested, and their interests are certainly worth careful attention. If the pledges of the Government; in regard to our shipping and the opening up of the Trent Canal be redeemed, the East and West. may be expected to unite in rapid progress; but. if the desired action is not taken, every year must witness a depletion of our commerce.” The ball rolls, and we doubt not will be carried successfully to the goal before long. We understand that the meeting of the Central Committee held at Pet- erborough on the lst inst. was ofa very enthusiastic character, and the strong resolution that. we give below was unau- imously passed. The people of Mon- trcnl are opening their eyes to the value of the scheme, not only to themselves, but also to the whole Dominion. The Montreal Star, a couple of weeks ago had the best. and most forcible article on thesubject that we have seen, which was read at the meeting at Peter-bor- Ollle, and the concluding paragraph of which was as follows:â€"“ These are Much dissatisfaction was expressed at the meeting of the Central Commit:- tce at the apparent, if. not real, want. of sympathy for the scheme, on the part of the member for North Victoria. It was thought that if he was in earnest in the matter his natural position, from his eloquence and ability, would be to lead rather than reluctantly to follow in devising measures for the furtherance ofthe scheme. The resolution passed by the Central Committee was as folâ€" lows and speaks for itself:â€" Movcd by Mr G. H. GORDON, Reeve ot‘Ti-cnzou, seconded by )1, SANDERSON, Warden of the county,â€"That whereas prominent. members of the Dominion l ,, Cidfilrnmcut have frequently expressed the opinion that the early completion of the Trent Valley navigation route was of such importance to the Dominion as to justify its being undertaken at the earliest possible moment. consistent with the finances of the county; And whereas the revenue returns for the Dominion since the first July last, are such as to leave no reasonable doubt that the current year's revenue will show a handsome surplus at the close of the financial year. Do it therefore resolved that the time has now arrived when the Trent navigation route should be pressed forward to early completion, and it is the opinion of the members ,of this committee that to this end the members of the [louse of Commons from the Trent Valley district should at. once take steps to secure the placing of a sum in the estimates for the purpose of tanking a thorough survey of the route from the Bay of Quinta to the Georgian Bay, with the view of ascertaining the best. location and capacity to be adapted for the same. and secondly, on the as- sembling of Parliament ask for the. ap- pointment of a cpmmittce with power to send for persons and pupch to thor- oughly inve~tigatc the merits of the T. l V. route as an outlet. for the trade ofl .

With a single exception. all whose names were upon the programme are residents of the village, and the fear hitherto entertained. that local talent alone would not draw a full house, is therefore dispelled. The exception al- luded to was Mr. James Gillogy, of Ops. who is an admirable singer, especially of comic Bones, and who was listened to with delight. and rapturously eneored. The musical abilities of Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Underwood, Miss Kate Logan and Miss Powers are well known to all our readers, and they were ably assisted Antony's “Address, ” and afterwards a shorter selection, the title of which we do not remember. There were read- ings by Messrs. McDougall, Sheppard Dickson and Dr. Wilson, and it is dif- ficulty to decide which of them did the best. The' programme was divided, as usu- al, into two parts, and at the conclusion of each tlicre was a very well executed tableau ; the first representing a gipsy fortune teller and her dupes, and the second Faith, Hope and Charity. The young ladies who took part in this uo'v- cl and attractive feature of the enter- tainment were Miss Caddy, Miss Buru~ ham, Miss Iza Logan and Miss Hinda Cunningham, and at the foot. of the lat- ter, in her representation of Charity, knelt little Vernon Smith. in the act of receiving alms; but. whether it. was in the form of min of the realm or candy we could not distinctly perceive.
