and also begs to inform them, that he is now receiving a new aud select Stock of Genuine Drugs and Medical Chemicals, Warrat.sd of the purest description.A full supply body among whom we should look for any kind of piety, practical or theoretical, is certainly that knot of men who just now form our Ministry.Whether any of them, after leading a life among the pomps and vanities, shall at last make an edifying aud Christian ending, after the manner of the Bari of Rochester, or Scott\u2019s Monk in the \u201c Lay of the Last Minstrel,\u201d or Colonel Gardner, or any other notorious sinner worn-out or alarmed into repentance, is more than we can pretend to surmise.But whether we proceed upon our own judgment and that of other impartial outside critics, or whether we take the opinions that have been many a time and oft expressed by one of the other, and of almost all by old friends and colleagues, we repeat that piety is not precisely the quality which we should seek among them with the greatest hope of success.But it appears that religion is decidedly in the ascendant with at least one of these gentlemen, hitherto supposed to be so completely engrossed in worldly affairs ; and that being the case, it is certainly the most natural of all things that the most versatile of the gang should transact the holy business.After having gone through the Universal Bureau, where Statistics, Agriculture, Patents, the Presidentship of the Executive Council, and so many other heterogenous, but doubtless most important lines of business, were jumbled up together, so as out of a great many nothings to make a large something ;\u2014after having, we say, passed through this turmoil of business, Mr.Cameron must have felt time bang dreadfully heav}' on his hands when he was relegated to the peace and idleness of the Post-Office.Hence, in his hatred of sinecures, and his desire honestly to earn the public money which he receives, he has opened a patent preaching shop\u2014a piety bureau, which will no doubt serve to fill up vacant time.The first State paper from this new department we publish today, addressed to the proprietor of the Quebec Gazette, who occasionally does a little in the same line himself; but whose new doxy is not Mr.Cameron\u2019s doxy.We hope the true flavour of humble reprobation of other people, which shines through this epistle particular, will not be lost; though we do just remember that when the 11 Genova \u201d lay at Quebec, the very good sort of people raised an outcry against the ministry, Mr.Cameron included, for paying an unrighteous Sunday visit to that craft.However, not to keep our readers longer from the first effort of the new government department, we copy it entire :\u2014 Quebec Nov 28 Sir,\u2014I enclose two number of the Gazette for your reflection, and in timate my desir that the paper be not sent a gain I care nothing for news paper abuse & I know that 11 stop my paper \u201d is not the way to stop slander.Nevertheless 1 owe a sacred duty to a professed Christian &that is not to suffer sin upon him without remonstrance.I therefore warn you that calumny false witnesses ! violent & indecent language can not benefit Metho dism or Protestant is m & at all events is disgraceful to the cause of Christ.You had better assign the paper to Roger & clear your soul intime For I truly pity you.Yours sincerily M CAMERON R Middleton Esq Quebec And in order to show how fit Mr.Cameron is for the office he now holds in a ministry, whose members have all proved their qualifications by opposing most decidedly in practice whatever they once taught in theory, we subjoin a scene, which proves Mr.Cameron\u2019s just right to be a teacher of truth, from the very little regard he entertains for it himself\u2014for full proof of which see letters and speeches of Mr.Hincks duriug the great Clear Grit apostacy of 1851, when Cameron sat in the utter darkness of ungodly opposition.The scene which we mention at present will remind many readers of the case of Ananias and Sapphira, except that no catastrophe followed the exposure.It was during the debate on the ecclesiastical corporations bill, in November, 1852; Mr.Cameron stoutly supporting, Mr.Brown opposing it ; the French members, joined by the ministry, raging against the member for Kent as a bigot of the first water :\u2014 Mr.Brown\u2014Gentlemen might think what they pleased about members of the ministry from Upper Canada; but he alleged that these gentlemen thought as he thought, and had made the same declarations as he made.Let them look at the meetings throughout Upper Canada, and platform after platform would be found all alike declaring against ecclesiastical corporations.Mr.Cameron said he had never said anything of the sort.He had never opposed Catholic corporations, and he would go for a general bill.Mr.Brown\u2014Well, be happened to have a handbill in bis pocket, which was signed by the hon.member himself, and published when that hon.member came to oppose him [Mr.Brown] at the hustings, and in that bill be [Mr.B.] was designated as a 11 \u2022political prostitute \u201d.[Loud cries of hear, hear, from the ministerial benches.] But why was he called a prostitute ?Because the bill stated that he had had approved all the measures of the late ministry ; had 'sanctioned the incorporation of sectarian colle and the repealing of the school bill without a sectarian clause,-while he approved of the new school bill, without a sectarian clause.11 This is just the man to turn evangelist in the ministry who holds office on the strength of their pledge to secularise the Clergy Reserves.Theatre.Royal.\u2014Mr.Heller continues to attract large audiences nightly to witness his truly wonderful feats.As we have already stated, to be appreciated they must be seen.Among others, his \u201cbottle trick\u201d and that by which he effects the disappearance of two flesh-and-blood, living \u201csubjects,\u201d are alike marvelous and puzzling ; but the most extraordinary and incomprehensible of his magical performances is the \u201c Second-Sight,\u201d which may be thus dessribed.\u2014 Earnest a youth of 16 or 18 is placed blindfold upan the stage, far a part of the time with his back to the audience, and thence will tell the audience anything which Mr.Heller is shown at at any distance from him in the boxes or the pit, \u2014will give the initials on a ring, the figures, on a watch, or check or bank note, the kind, value aud date of coin, the number of stones in a ring, and their color^\u2014anything in short of which Mr.H.gets the first sight, Earnest gets the second, and tells you what he sees with marvellous accuracy.Mr.Heller is, facile princeps, the cleverest Wizard and conjuror we have ever seen, and his performances will well repay a visit to the Theat^e^^^.\t^\t, English News.\u2014The \u201c Europa\u2019s\u201d mail reached town yesterday afternoon.We give the following extracts from the latest papers brought by her.(From the London Globe, \\%th Nov.) Once more the aspect of the intelligence from Turkey is reversed, and it is now said, that the most recent and^principal success is on the side, not of the Turks but of the Russians.Before the present intelligence it was reported that the Turks had advanced from various points at which they had crossed the Danube ; had taken Bucharest, which was \u2018 on fire in three places ;\u201d had marched a force through Servia to intercept the flying Russians, and had left the latter no issue from the Principalities except through Transylvania, towards which they were all in full flight.By the new accounts all this is reversed, instead of being in flight, the Russians, it is said, have recovered their ground ; instead of intercepting them through Servia, the Turks, it is now reported, have been refused a passage across that territory; Bucharest was not on fire on the 14th, and the Turks at Oltenitza have recrossed the Danube.When we examine the intelligence somewhat more closely, it does not appear so decisive as it looks at first, and the story has evident marks of exaggeration.It is transmitted from the French Consulate at Bucharest to the Government in Paris, and is avowedly derived from Russian authorities.According to this account Prince Gor-tschakoff had succeeded in defeating the Turks with 40,000 men ; and a series of conflicts had also taken place neâr Giurgevo\u2014a large island on the Danube\u2014that place have been lost and won several times.The statement that the Turks have retreated atross the Danube at Oltenitza may be true ; but before we put very large constructions upon such a fact, we have first to learn whether they intended an occupation of the left bank on that spot.At all events it would imply that they did not hear of the success of auy other divisions of the Turkish army elsewhere.The latest words represent a cannonading as being heard from Bucharest, in the direction of the Danube: and the latest accounts from the Turkish side represented a cannonading as being heard in the direction of Bucharest.The fact apears to be, therefore, that both sides are using great exertions; that successes vary ; but that while the Turks have not yet obtained that victorious possession of the Principality, which was prematurely announced, the Russians have not had sufficient strength seriously to molest or cripple them ; and that neither side knows exactly what is going on.The exertions used on the Russian side to bring was of course to be expected that the exertions ol Russia would be in proportion to her reverses, and with the immense resources at her command, she will no doubt be able to bring into the field such strength as will enable her to maintain, at least a respectable appearance in the campaign.In the meanwhile, the Russians evidently have suffered severely, and, as the French Consu], intimates, it would be natural that they should put forth the most favorable accounts.In the accounts thus supplied, they admit several rebuffs.The taking of a fort at Batoum by the Turks, with a great slaughter of Russians, is to a certain extent confirmed ; arms and prisoners to a considerable amount are reported to have fallen into the possession of the captors ; «and the moral effect of this success must of course tell upon the Danube, in stimulating the Mussulmans against an enemy, which, if not conquered at once, has at all events not been found invulnerable.The general tendency of the intelligence just received is, to show that nothing decisive is to be expected at ouce ; and also to suggest the warning that we must not put upon these reports from day to day a construction too extensive.(From the European Times, \\§th Nov.) Whether the Turks in the long run can maintain their ground against the Russian hordes which will be brought into the field against them must be matter for conjecture.At any rate, all accounts concur that the Russians have been worsted up to this time, and reinforcements are coming up from Shumlato enable Omer Pacha to keep his ground, if not to overwhelm the enemy.The Sultan himself also has declared his intention of proceeding to Adrianople, there to buckle on his sword, and to place himself at the head of his army.His subjects, however, need no stimulus to range under his banner, as, in Asiatic Turkey, every mau capable of bearing arms is in the field ; and, on the Russian frontier, where the Caucasus touches Turkey, the Ottomans have seized upon many strongholds, and have, it is generally believed, been as victorious over the Russians in Asia as Omer Pacha has been in Europe.Count Woronzolf is represented as being exceedingly harassed by the multitude of his enemies, and has sent the most urgent entreaties for reinforcements.Whatever successes the Turks may gain in Asia, they have resolved, it is said, to keep on the south of the Kuban river.\u2014 The fort of Ohekwetit, taken by the Turks on the 28th October, contained 2000 muskets, four cannon 1000 men.A small Turkish squadron is cruising in the Black Sea.There, were only two British and two French line of battle ships lying off Therapia on the ïlh instant.The remainder of the fleets were in the Dardanelles.A new project of a note under existing circumstances, is obviously an absurdity.Up to the time we write no authentic confirmation has reached us of the battle at Bucharest, with the complete defeat of Russians, as above stated ; but the accounts of the 9th, from the seat of war, state th.at the Turks have already passed the Danube to the number of 100,000, and that the passage still went on.It believed that the Turks bombarded the town of Bucharest, and entered victoriously.We have in vain tried to ascertain the probable strength of the Russians in the Principalities, but the accounts are so absurdly contradictory that we prefer being silent on the subject.Very pretty statements of an army, on paper, having crossed the Pruth under General Ludeis, consisting of 70,000 men and 264 guns, are published, but no reliance can be placed upon such statements.Whether the force of the Russians has been exaggerated throughout, or whether their ranks have been decimated by disease, certain it is that they have not appeared in the overwhelming strength we were led by their corrupt journals to anticipate.At any rate the Turks have decidedly been conquerors up to the present time.Already a number of Russian prisoners, both from the Danube and from Batoum, have reached Constantinople.The latest news will be found in our telegraphic despatches.^ Some of our contemporaries are pluming themselves in having furnished, some time ago, news of the invasion of Khiva, but the details froffi Bombay by no means warrant the inferences drawn of the progress of the Russians.It was said that the Russian troops were only ten days\u2019 march from Khiva, whereas, by the roundabout statement of the Delhi Gazette, drawn from very vague news via Cabool, it only appears that the Russians are ten days\u2019 march from Oorgune, which no doubt means Ourghendz, which is a very different matter.We have great doubt whether the Khan of Khiva and the King of Bockhara are in alliance together ; but if the RuS' sians achieve the impossibility of getting to Khiva over the steppes which surround that oasis in the desert, and hang both the Khan of Khiva and the King of Bokhara at the gates of their palaces, they richly deserve it.They hold thousands of Russians in slavery, but all efforts to liberate them have failed.The idea of our ludiau possessions being thereby endangered is all moonshine : the Russians have enough to do else where.The trial of the conspirators against the life of the Emperor of the French has taken place, and the verdict in six cases was \u201c not guilty\u201d against the prisoners, and twenty-two were found guilty under extenuating circumstances.Of the latter seven have been sentenced to transportation three to eight years\u2019 exile, and the rest to terms of imprisonment varying from five to ten years.The arrest of an Austrian spy in the Canton of Tessin has caused great sensation.All Italy seems to be watching an opportunity for an outbreak.The Italian papers say that Mazzini has left London, but this is doubtful.The story of six Polish Roman Catholics having been shot by order of the Czar, because they asked for their discharge, having a conscientious objection to fight for the orthodox Greek religion, is believed, and has made a great sensation at Paris and in Catholic circles.General Narvaez has beén received by the Queen at Madrid, and his reception was not only cold but insulting.The Queen, in saying that she was happy to see the marshal in such good health, added, \u201c that if she had known it before, she should have commanded him to go to Vienna.\u201d The British Funds have manifested considerable steadiness in feeling and prices, even in the midst of the exciting warlike rumours prevalent during the week.Money stock is more freçly supplied at present prices, and stock for immediate transfer is thus only about 1-16 per cent higher than the quotation for Account.Yesterday, Consols opened 94% to 95 for the Account, improved to 95 to fell back to 94% to %, and were quoted at the official close 94% to 95% for Money, and 94% to 95 for the Account.Three per Cent Reduced, 93% ;

and in replying to the toast, my first care was to express my acknowledgments of the good feeling and hospitality shewn to the St.Patrick\u2019s Society on that and previous Anniversaries ; and also to.offer my testimony to the excellent organisation of the St.Andrew\u2019s Society.Having expressed this much in seriousness and sincerity, I next ventured (most unsuccessfully, I fear, from the misinterpretation I have met with,) to follow Mr.Rose in the humorous strain he had adopted, and in doing so 1 attempted to rally his steady, sober-minded countrymen, for whom he had claimed all good things,\u2014St.Patrick included\u2014as their own, for being obliged to go to Ireland for an example in their newly-started agitation ; and I hinted, as knowing something about it, that unless their grievances were more serious than reported, they would do well to abandon agitation, and trust to the energy and industry which has already made them prosperous.The tone and manner of these and similar unpremeditated remarks, must have showed to those present that they were not serious, but that they were used iu a spirit of good humor and hilarity, which ought, and usually does, prevail at the convivial interchanges of hospitality between our different Societies, Such, then, was the manner and matter of my remarks ; and, however impossible it is for me to remember the precise terms, I can assure the Society that nothing fell from me derogatory to our country, or which could be construed as such by my auditory \u2014however, it has been attempted elsewhere to give such a meaning to the expressions attributed to me,\u2014but which, as I prepared no speech, and spoke in the confidence of social intercourse, I kept no note or recollection of.I have thought this statement due to the St.Patrick's Society, lest the imputations made in relation this subject should create a wrong impression of my meaning.As to the language and good taste in which these imputations are put forward, I will offer no comment, but leave thejn to work their own remedy.on my conduct as your representative at the St.Andrew\u2019s Dinner ; and be assured I will be ready to abide by your decision, aud to place my office as President at once at your disposal, should you consider that I have done anything to forfeit your confidence and approbation.I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, your very obedient servant, THOMAS RYAN.The Vice-President and Members of the St.Patrick\u2019s Society.At a meeting of the St.Patrick\u2019s Society held last evening, the Vice-President in the Chair, the above letter from the President, Thomas Ryan, Esq., was read ; after which, the following resolution was unanimously adopted, and ordered to be published :\u2014 Moved by James M'Shane, seconded by Francis Clarke.\u201c That this meeting, having read a letter from Thomas Ryan, Esq, President of this Society, with reference to au attack made upon him in the columns of the Montreal Freeman, is perfectly satisfied with the explanation given of the objectionable expressions attributed to him by that Journal ; and further expresses its entire confidence in the manner in which this Society has been upon all occasions represented by its President.\u201d EDWARD MURPHY, Chairman.H.J.CLARKE, Secretary.REPORT fs On the 12 th ultimo, at a special meeting of the 'Stockholders of the St.Lawrence and Ottawa Grand Junction Railway Company, the proprietors resolved not to confirm the arrangement entered into for the transfer of the charter of their Company to the Montreal and By town Railroad^ Company.\t¦\u2014 >».¦ \u2014-, .¦ \u2014 A dispatch from Boston says, the Hon.C.G.Atherton, recently deceased, has left $8,000 to President Pierce, and the bulk of his property, upwrta w $150,000, to his wile ân4 «ouïtes.Water Ferry at Cauqhnawasa.\u2014The Montreal and New York Railway Company have very much improved their arrangements of last year for the ferry between Lachine and Caugh-nawaga.The communication is now maintained by the steamer Iroquois of which we find the following description in the Gazette.This fine vessel is 166 feet in length by 48 feet overall beam.She is from the shipyard of Mr.A.Cantin of this city, and in strength and skill of structure enhances the well established reputation of the builder.Her engines are from the manufactory of Mr.E.E.Gilbert, of the Canal Basin.The Iroquois introduces to the waters of the St.Lawrence two noveland most important devices.First\u2014the use of Napier's oscillating cylinders, which by bringing all the machinery, shaft, &e., of the engine below deck, admits in the second place, of rails being laid upon deck lor the reception and conveyance of railroad cars.The \u201cIroquois\u201d is adapted to convey five freight or box ears over the river at each trip.Lately she brought across the St.Lawrence a heavy freight locomotive engine and tender, with supply of wood and water, and two freight cars fully loaded,\u2014an additional weight, say of 80 tons, without trouble or effort.The time occupied in loading and unloading was ten minutes ; the time of crossing ten minutes more.The arrangements of the Company are such that this operation may be repeated from one side of the river or the other every half hour in the day.The inclined planes or self-adjusting platforms, connecting the deck of the boat with the permanent way, are simple and ingenious,\u2014the platform strikes rest upon the boat,\u2014the rail of the one dovetails on to the rail of the other ; the buoyancy of the boat maintains the proper level, and yields to the motion of the superincumbent train.The slips and platforms are of the invention and have^been constructed under the superintendance of Capt.Proctor, of Burlington, Vermont.The wide deck of the \u201c Iroquois \u201d affords also, independent of the arrangement for cars, large space for the accommodation of vehicles horses cattle, and for all other use* of a public ferry.\u2014 The arrangements tor the comfort of passenger* during their short traverse will be all that can desired.To provide for the pressure ot their present freighting business, as well as against the possibility of any accidental interruption for the future, the Company have also chartered, for the winter, the well known and powerful steamer \u201cChamplain\u201d which will ply with the \u201cIroquois,\u201d and which will secure the means of safe access to and egress from this city, at times when steam navigation must, from natural causes, cease at all other points on the St.Lawrence, and when the forming ice, or floating ice of winter, or the drifting ice of spring, render the passage of the rivera service of no ordinary danger elsewhere.Addison\u2019s Complete Works.2 vols.Putnam, New York.H.Ramsay, Montreal.\u2014We have received the second volume of this elegant edition of one of the most refined prose writers of our language\u2014of the one, indeed, who may be considered as the founder of the easy modern style, in opposition to the more massive manner of the prose writers of the seventeenth century.Addison and the Spectator will always be dear to every lover of refinement in literature\u2014whether the refinement be referred to the matter or the manner, for the*!-purified both.Even the correct appreciation of our second greatest poet, Milton, ia due in a great measure to the criticism's upon his works which first appeared in the earliest of the British essayists.The man who desires to understand the history ot his own country, must also study the life and writings of Addison.Among the numerous efforts of his genius, there are some which, in the present day, will doubtless be less applauded than they were at the period of their composition, and probably few modern readers will care to do more than glance over the poem in which he celebrated the great British victory of the period; but there is growing and a worthy taste for possessing the works of standard authors entire ; and the cheapness with which they are produced by our modern presses\u2014British and American publishers vieiug with each other in the excellence and low price of their works\u2014naturally encourages this taste.Putnam\u2019s present edition of the complete works of Addison is a case in point, and will no doubt command an extensive sale.Bills, 4s to Is premium ;

of Honorary Members, 27; of Merchants, 144 ; of .Senior, 179 ; and of Junior Clerks, 61\u2014making a total of 464 Members.HONORARY DIRECTORS.In conformity' with the rules of the association, the following gentlemen were elected Honorary Members, of the Board of Manage meat at the first meeting of the Directors, viz :\u2014The Hon John Young, and Messrs.John Leeming,, Theodore Lyman, and Matthew Baxter, but the last named gentleman having declined to accept the office, William Lunn, Esq., was appointed in his place,, and consented to serve.BOARD.One of the chief difficulties under which the Association labors from time to time, arises out of the resignation of its executive officers, the retiring members being in many cases the most useful, and, therefore, the least easily spared ; but.with a Constitution which entrusts the management only to persons filling the offices of clerks, it must be obvious that the most active Directors will be those whose time is most valuable to their employers, or who, in a laudable desire to advance their own interests^ will early seek to enter into business on their own acco\u2019t.These two causes have frequently operated, to; reduce the Board dowu nearly to a quqrtfm, and seriously to overburden the remaining members with duties they were not in circumstances ready to assume.During the year now expired, several such withdrawals have taken place.Mr.Henry Archbold, the efficient Recording Secretary, vacated liis place early in the season, and was replaced by^Mr.C.J.Kershaw, who.in turn, resigned the office, and was succeeded by Mr.Ewing G.Smith ; late in the year Mr.Smith also relinquished the Secretaryship, and Mr.James McLean, .consenting to serve, was elected.Mr.John Patou, the corresponding Secretary, having been transferred to New York, Mr.Geo.Templeton was appointed to the office, and has filled it to the present time.To supply the deficiency at the Board, Mr.Alexander Lunn was elected a Director.Mr.Wm.Rae, the Vice President, having commenced business, his place was taken by Mr^fcphn McPherson, and Mr.William Birket was elected SfiJirector.Messrs.Buchanan and A.Lunn having also resigned, to fill up the ranks, Messrs W.W.Armstrong and A.Hart were elected in their places.After all these changes, the Board is now composed of the following persons :\u2014 Mr.Ewen McLennan, President.\u201c John McPherson, Vice President.u George Templçtoa, Cor.Sec.\u201c JamesMcLeai\u2019Rec.Hoc.w.W.Armstrong.Alexander Hart.HONORARY DIRECTORS : Hon.John Young,\tTheodore Lyman, Esq.John Leeming, Esq, Wm.Lunn, Esq.ORDINARY COURSE OF LECTURES.The ordinary Course of Lectures, under the auspices ot the Association, wqs eminently successful last winter.The greater part of them were exceedingly well attended ; and the gentlemen who rendered these valuable services, discharsed Iheir tasks with great ability and conseciuem acceptance.The number ot Lectures [Ottered to the public by the several Institutions and Societies last winter was greater than ever before, and indeed may be said to have been in exeess.for everyevening ofthe week.Saturday excepted, during three months, was so occupied .by some one or another of thepe.Societies.Under these otreum-slances, your Board would not have been surprised it then-audience had fallen off very much, or if the* expenses had far outran the receipts, but neither of these results followed ; and they have the satisfaction of reporting that the disbursements were nearly balanced by the money taken This success is attributable in part probably to the eonfidence and good will felt bv the public towards the Association, but chiefly to the attractive character of the topics presented, and to the known ability of most of the Lecturers.The following is the order m which the Lectures were Rev Donald Fraser, A.M., Introductory\u2014\u201c On the Influence of Authority in Matters of Opinion.\u201d Arthur Fisher, .VI.D., L.R.C.S.\u2014\u2018 The Uses of the Beard.\u201d John Dougall, Esq.\u2014\u201c Present Prosperity of Canada and Probable Permanence.\u201d\t,\t\u201e J.C.Baker, Esq.\u2014\"Ancient and Modern Systems ot Colonization.\u201d Rev.H.Marling\u2014\u201cThe Usés bf the Beautiful.\u201d Rev.P.Church, D.D.\u2014\u201c Immortality of Thought.\u201d E.\tRoberts, Esq.\u2014\u201c Music.\u201d P LeSueur, Esq.\u2014\u201c Illustrations of the Ridiculous.\u201d Rev.Dig by Campbell\u201411 Homeric Topography and Present State of Ithaca.\u201d\t.Rev.W.Taylor, D.D.\u2014Progress in Scientific Discovery Dependent on Progress in Morality.\u201d J.C.Baker, Esq.\u2014\u201c Trial by Juiy a Superannuated Sys- F.\tWMTorrance, Esq., A.M.\u2014\u201c Classic Education.\u201d B.Chamberlain, Esq., B.C.L.\u2014\u201c The British Colonies of North America, their Prospects and Union.John Leeming, Esq., Closing Lecture-\" The History and Description ofthe Britannia 'lubular Bridge.\u201d SPECIAL LECTURES.In addition to the ordinary course, your Board had the gratification of introducing three different series of Special Lectures, which attracted great attention, and yielded, as they have reason to believe, much satisfaction to the public, besides contributing to the resources of the The first course of Special Lectures was delivered by Professor Amasa McCoy, upon \u201c America and the Americans,\u201d a subject which he treated with great ability.The net proceeds of this series amounted to £16 2s.8d.The second Special Course, which consisted of two Lectures only, vas given by Mi ! Taveriier, Professor of Elocution, and netted £4 6s.4d.The third and last Special Course washy the Rev.Henry Giles, who spoke for five evenings, upon \u201c Civilized Man.\u201d and whose utterances were acknowledged to be among the most original, forcible, and brilliant ever delivered before a Montreal audience.This series, after payment of a heavy outlay for the use of Theatre, and remu-iteration to the speaker, yielded a profit to the Association of £1413s 3d.\t\u2022 m At the last Annual Meeting, the predecessors m office ofthis Board stated that négociations were pending with Mr.Thackery for the delivery of his Lectures, then at-tractiiig so much attention in New York and elsewhere.Being exceedingly desirous of securing his services, your Board advanced their ofiers until they felt that the Fisk would be very great if they added anything more.I he last sum named by them was £250 and halt the profits if any remained ; but Mr.Thacker)' was unwilling to ie-cede from his mark, and the expectation of his visit had to be abandoned, a cireumstonce which occasioned them much regret and no little dissappoinlmedl to many persons who had relied upon his acceptance pf ffie.oiler.DONATIONS.Your Board have the pleasent duty of acknowledging the following donations from the\u2014 Lord Bishop of Montreal .£2 10 0 T.Ramsay, Esq.1 0 0 Robert Armour, Senr., Esq.1 0 0 Thomas Ryan, Esq.10 0 A.Gundlack.Esq.0 10 0 Mr.Houghton, of St.Albans, Vermont\u2014Commerce of British North America, 2 vols.Mr.C.Bockus\u2014Tales of the Wars, in Scotland, 1st and 2nd series together.4 vols.Mr.James McLean\u20142 copies Uncle Tom\u2019s Cabin;

but the early and constant friend of the Insti-tulfon, the Hon.John Young, intimated his desire to receive the Members of both Boards at his house, together with such other gentlemen from Portland as they might agree to invite, and accordingly a goodly company, alter spending part ofa day in viewing the scenery in the vicinity of the city, and making a lour ofthe Mountain, repaired thither, and were entertained in an hospitable and elegant manner by their host.Foi this renewed token of interest in the prosperity and reputation of the Association, your Board feel called upon gratefully to acknowledge their indebtedness to Mr.Young, In connexion with this subject, it is proper here to state that, to mark their sense of the civilities extended to them in Montreal, the Board of the sister Association of Portland subsequently tendered their formal thanks, and requested this Instituion to accept a present of valuable Books and Maps, relating chiefly to the commercial and agricultural interests of the State of Maine.The particulars are here subjoined :\u2014 Patent Office Report.1847 and \u201948.«\tu\tMechanical Report, 1849, \u201950, and \u201951.u\tu\tAgricultural 11\t1849, \u201950, and \u201951.Commerce and Navigation \u201c\t1850, \u201951, and \u201952.Annual Message and accompanying documents, 1850, \u201951, and \u201952, Financial Report, 1852 arid\u201953.Collection of Maine Historical Society, 3 vols.Andrew\u2019s Report of Colonial and Lake trade.1852, History of Portland.Journals, with Historical Notes of Portland, from 1842 to \u201949.Williams, History of Maine, 2 vols.Noble\u2019s Lectures.Maine Register\u2014Abstract of the 7th Census.Obituary Address on the Death of Daniel Webster# Espey\u2019s Report on Meteorology.A Map of Portland and several valuable Charts.READING ROOMS.The chief dependence of the Association for public support is based upon the attraction, offered by its Reading Room ; and the Sub-Committee in charge of this department have, therefore, given it their constant attention.That the best order has invariably characterized the arrangements, is a fact with which the Members are ail well acquainted.The Papers und Magaziiws have always been found on their fyles.The Register has been carefully and correctly written, and the Telegraphic Reports duly furnished.Ah important Book, shewing ihe receipts ofproduce by the Canal and otherwise, has also been kept, and your Board are well satisfied that no records presented in the city are more deserving of.confidence than those kept by the Association.A few Papers, involving a large éxpediture, and only supplying information which is received through other mediums, have been discontinued ; these are the New \\ ork Comniercivl Advertiser Le Courier des Etas Unis.Cincinnati Gazette, and the Quebec Mercury.Others, which are deemed more desirable, as widening the range of view, have been added: they are the Boston Fast, the State of Maine, and New York Illustrated News, the Montreal Sun, and the Quebec Morning Chronicle.\t_ THE LIBRARY.The library continues to answer its purpose, as well as the material comprising it can be expected to do.With the exception of tHte donations already recorded, no additions have been made to it, and although it embraces a very valuable collection of rare and expensive books, it is matter of regret that others of a more popular character cannot be added from time to time.With a desire to meet this want the Board have recently opened a subscription list which, without being pressed upon the attention ofthe members, had been exposed in the Reading Room for several weeks.The sum subscribed amounts to £11 10s.and it is hoped that further donations will enable the i _\t_____1 :.1.?Kîr.T.ir-xT rlaciroKlfk nhiinr»t ot on herewith exhibited, will shew more fully the income and expenditure of the Association than it is necessary to do in this place.The Board desire to convey their thanks to James Scott, Esq., for the gratuitous sale of the newspapers and maga-zines at the close of the last year.They have also much pleasure in again bearing testi-; mony to the uniformly faithful and able manner in which i the Superintendent, Mr.Donaldson, has discharged the duties of his office, for the which, although the paid officer of the Institution, he is nevertheless entitled to your thanks.In concluding this Report, the Board feel that bright anticipations of the future efficiency of the Association may safely be entertained, and they trust it will pass into the hands of a new executive fully able and willing to render it more useful to the Mercantile community than it has ever vet been.The whole of which is nevertheless respectfully submitted.APPOINTMENTS.The following Justices of the Peace have been appomted ;

John Scott of Osgoode Hall to be County Judge of Huron and Bruce.Jail and Court-House should be commenced.These sums amounted to over eleven hundred pounds, part of which was duly paid, say £150 ; the remainder was repudiated, and the County Council had recourse to legal opinion in the matter.It was submitted to the Attorney General, who has decided against the collection of the sums so subscribed.We are not given to understand on what grounds the Attorney General arrived at his decision ; at all events, the Council has seen fit to publish the subscription list in accordance with the following resolution : Moved by Mr.Whitlaw, seconded by Mr.Yottell, That as the opinion of the Attorney General has been obtained in reference to the legal liability of the parties who placed their names for certain amounts on a subscription list, payable conditionally on Brantford being made the County Town, and his opinion is against the collection of the same, we feel bound to express our sense of the meanness of taking advantage of the legal quibble after the benefit has been received.Paltry minds only would submit to such a degradation-true honesty and a sense of what is due to the County, should have forbidden such conduct.In token, therefore, of our sentiments, it is resolved that the list of subseribers shall be published, and by that means the defaulters be held up before .the community in their true characters, and that the clerk procure a copy of such list, and publish the same in the Brantford Courier, Herald, and Paris Slav newspapers, with a copy ot this resolution.\u2014Carried unanimously.We have no means of knowing.how the matter stands between the parties, further than what the document informs us.It is sufficiently clear, however, that the object of the subscription was to defray the expenses attending the erection of the necessary buildings ; therefore the act of repudiation is a disgraceful piece of business, and may probably serve as a lesson to the people of Brantford against rasbly undertaking what they are unable to perform with credit to themselves If subscription lists of the nature of the one alluded to can be repudiated by a mere quibble, as the Brant Council assert, it is possible that no more will be got up, in Brantford at least, for some time to come.We are anxious to know, the real facts of the case, for we are entirely in the dark, not having even known of the existence of such a document as the subscription list now published in the Herald.Will our contemporary enlighten us and the rest of the \u201c outside barbarians ?\u201d It is an interesting affair, and will afford no little amusement, if fully and fairly explained.\u2014Hamilton Spectator.- rwii\"juucuj a n uy .s luj tumr.j Per \u201c EUROPA Litekpoop, Nov.18.Ashes\u2014A very limited business has been done in Ashes this week, and prices slightly tend downwards\u2014Pots 3IsiS)31s 6d ;
