Sir WILFRID LATJRIER.

friend will not be surprised if we give some accommodation at Sorel for the trade, which is only awaiting the required facilities to find its way to that locality. In the maritime provinces there are ten or twelve great harbours. I do not complain of that ; on the contrary, I am delighted, and would like to see more of them. In this matter, although the expenditure seems large, there is every reason to believe that it is warranted by the condition of things existing at Sorel.
