Mr Goschen, in introducing the Naval Estimates, dwelt on the continued expansion of and improvement in the Nary. He said that the nation may look forward with increasing confidenma, that if pozes con tinues, it will be peace with honour; f war occurs, which God forbid, it will be a war crowned by victory."
General at his garmen to make represents tions with regard to the great increase in the price of rice. The riso has been very rapid. Only a few days ago thirty-two catties of ordinary rice could be purchased for a dollar; now, the amount has gone down to twenty-six cattics. It is no wonder thon that there is a lat cf discuntest abroad in the city. A previous deputation got no satisfaction, but to-day they are going in greater numbers, and the largu number of lanterns being prepared shows that they are determined to wait all night, it that is found necessary, to get an answer to their demands. They have two propasi tions to make to the Governor-General. The first is that the export of rice from this Province be prohibited, and the second is that all rico from the outside lo admitted free of duty.
