and whatever there is bearing the appearance of the distinct assertion of a novel fact is the statement that Delhi has fallen, which seems to be believed, and is so far an item to the credit side of the account.The Associât:\t\u2019'on the Advancement of Science.\u2014The opening of the annual convention of this body yesterday, in the Court House, was an event which cannot but be regarded with complacency by our fellow citizens, The meeting in this city is a tribute to Montreal exceedingly flattering ; and -we trust that the welcome the inhabitants of Montreal are endeavouring to extend to their guests will, like all similar acts, meet its own reward in enlargement of heart and increased warmth of feeling.Of the opening itself we can speak in terms of great pleasure.It was dignified and befitting the body who were meeting together.The handsome semicircle of the Court Room was filled by strangers and citizens, accompanied by many ladies, and the appearance of the whole audience was marked by a high degree of intelligence, such as is rarely to be observed in promiscuous assemblies.After the first ceremony of personal introductions were over the President and Vice-President, and several other gentlemen, took their places on the Bench usually occupied by the Judges.They formed a very striking group.Gen.Sir Wm.Eyre occupied the centre.His upright commanding figure was not enveloped in any of the coxcombry of military life ; but there was just enough of uniform and of orders to indicate the part he had played in other spheres of action where sterner work was to be performed than scientific discussion.Warrior was written on his face and figure, and in his person arms and government paid their tribute to wisdom.On his left hand was his Lordship the Bishop ot Montreal, with a countenance and bearing which denoted\tone who\tmight well\thave played\ta soldiers part himself; but which yet indicated that the courage, strength of purpose and self reliance of the mind to which they belonged had been more concentrated on contemplation and study than on lightning-like resolution and undaunted action.The Bishop\u2019s presence, and the beautiful prayer which will be found elsewhere, were an appropriate sign of the alliance between a knowledge of the works of the Creator and the acknowledgment of the Creator himself.On the left hand of the General were three representatives of science\u2014Professor Hall, Professor Caswell, and Sir Wm.Logan,\u2014three faces in which the study of Nature seems to iireve caused th'e\ta- mirror^ or me tranquility and benevolence of Nature\u2019s pwn countenance.No one could look at the group without being struck with this well-marked peculiarity\u2014the air of peacefulness, calm, and goodwill, which belonged alike to all.We need say nothing more here of the opening ceremonies.In another place they will be fully described.It will be seen that little was doue in the way of lecturing or discussion.That will begin to-morrow.We presume that of the list of subjects many will be of a character that will interest only a few, and will be \u201ccaviare to the general.\u201d On the other hand, there are some which, on account of the curious information connected with them, or of the future improvements which^nay he expected to grow out of their consideration, will attract notice even among the unscientific.We shall endeavor at a happy discrimination.We shall not overload our columns nor tire our readers with discussions or essays only interesting to those initiated in some specialty, while we shall try to make all acquainted with tvhatever of a popular character shall be elicited.wise, judWous, and paternal sup&rhiteadssse.of thls'Dloeeso, as the phief minister and shepherd of the flock, over which the Holy Ghost has made you an overseer ; and of the esteem in which we all, as individuals, hold you as our Bishop.We have all had the honor and pleasure of waiting on you at our missionary homes, in our families and churches, time after time ; and always, like the great Apostle of the Gentiles, we have found you full of the blessings of the Gospel, ready to strengthen the weak hands, and confirm our faith, by \u201c Godly counsel,\u201d and words of consolation to both minister and people ; so that in parting with you\u2019 though it be but for a season, in the hope of seeing you again, our good wishes and prayers go with you, and with your amiable wife and daughter, endeared to us, and to all who know them, by their labours of love and Christian charity, as a mother and daughter in Israel, that the Lord of the Land and the Sea may give you and them a prosperous voyage, joy to meet your friends, and a safe return to us and your diocese.James Reid, D.D., Canon of Christ Church and Rector of Frelighsburgh.Joseph Scott, M.A., Rector of Dunham.Robert Lindsay, M.A., Minister of Broome.David Lindsay, M A., Minister of Frost Village.A.T.Whitten, Minister of Waterloo.William Jones, Minister of Granby.Geo.Slack, M.A., Minister of Milton.Fredk.Robinson, M.M, Minister of Abbottsford.A.Campbell Scarth, Minister of Adamsville and West Farnham.John C.Davidson, Minister of Cowansville.Richard Whitwell, M.A.C.A.Wetherall, B.A., Rector of Philips!)urgh.James Jones, Minister of Bedford.H.Montgomery, Minister of Sutton.District of Missisquoi, il 26th July, 1857.\t$ ( See House, Montreal, ^\tAugust 12, 1857.Rev and Dear Brethren,\u2014I thank you most heartily for the earnest and affectionate address which you have just presented to me.I thank you for myself, and also on behalf of my wife and daughter, of whom you have also so kindly made mention.As I have, within the last few days, sent to each of you a circular letter, in which I have entered into many particulars respecting the general state of the diocese, I will now only further add, that your expressions of confidence in, and sympathy with me, as your Bishop, will be an exceeding comfort and encouragement to me in my endeavors to fulfil the duties of my office.And if our lives are spared and we are permitted, in our present connection, to continue in this portion of the Lord\u2019s vineyard, our work as Ministers of Christ and Stewards of the mysteries of God, I hope we shall not only see the Church faithful and increasing, but be ourselves knit together in still closer bonds of Christian love.You have each your own burden to bear, and I have mine.\u2014 Brethren, let us not cease to pray for one another.And may God of his mercy keep us and all belonging to us from the evil, and grant us to meet again in peace and safety, for Jesus Christs\u2019 sake.I remain, Rev.and dear Brethren, Yours very sincerely, F.Montbeal.To the Rev.Canon Reid, D.D., and others.Father Chiniquy.\u2014This celebrated gentleman is giving lectures in Chicago for the purpose of obtaining means with the proceeds to pay for his church, which he has, since his ex-communication, established on an independent footing.The subject of his lectures is Catholicism and its compatibiUty with the institutions of the United States.We are not aware in what way Father Chiniquy proposes to treat the subject\u2014whether he has got new light, and has come to the conclusion that Catholicism and Republicanism are incompatible, or whether he will seek to show that they mutually aid each other ; but that there is a bastard Catholicism which is not the real one, and that he has been the victim to this false one.Nor do we very clearly understand whether he, in maintaining an independent congregation, and appealing to the Protestants of Chicago for its support, is renouncing his formerly expressed intention ot appealing to the Pope and abiding his decision, or whether on the other hand he has finally set up for himself with Catholic doctrines and ceremonies, only without the Pope finding a place in his system.The lectures will ail ci'tiuiOitmJn or tne present views and position of the ancient apostle of temperance.His career is a remarkable one, and one is naturally curious to see how far he may be led by circumstances to change opinions which he formerly held with so much tenacity.From the opponent of L\u2019Avenir for its supposed want of Catholicism, to a lecturer against the actual administration, if not against the doctrines or constitution of his church, is a long way to go.Yet whether the journey has been made as the result of conviction, or merely as an outbreak of personal opposition to authority, the course is a perfectly natural one.Men brought up in certain habits of thought, comprising an entire system, adhere to the whole body of doctrines they are taught with great tenacity, till some circumstance occurs to shew them the deduction from some principle which bears hardly upon themselves.Then they begin to examine.Sometimes they honestly find a wrong which they had never suspected- At other times their passions lead them on very insufficient grounds to believe that wrong which they once thought right.In any case the single doubt once admitted gradually undermines the whole edifice.Who knows how far Father Chiniquy, once on the same road as Luther, may go in the same direction ?The Late Madame Dessaulles.\u2014The funeral of the late Madame Dessaulles, (says the Courier de St.Hyacinthe,) took place on Friday last.A great concourse of persons from the surrounding Parishes assisted at the sad ceremony.On all faces there were unequivocal marks of deep pain.The industry and commerce of St, Hyacinthe manifested also how sensible they were of the irreparable loss which our town has just sustained.All the stores and warehouses were closed, and remained so till the afternoon.The funeral sermon was preached by the Superior of the College, M.Desaulniers.This gentleman spoke with rare felicity of the precious qualities which adorned the spirit of Madame Dessaulles.Many times the preacher was truly pathetic, and abundant tears fell from the eyes of his audience.After the funeral ceremony there was a meeting in the Market Hall, and the following resolutions were adopted :\u2014 At a meeting of citizens of the town of St.Hyacinthe and the surrounding Parishes, held in the Market Hall, on the 8th August, it was resolved\u2014 1st.\u2014-That the death of Mrs.Rosalie Papineau, widow of the Hon.Jean Dessaulles, is a public loss for the town of St.Hyacinthe and the surrounding Parishes.2nd\u2014That our Society loses in her the model of all the virtues which can ornament an accomplished woman ; the poor a mother ; the afflicted a heart always ready to compassionate their sufferings,, and a hand alvvavA nnan for- CYTcTlr .-7t.cv3ocrc#r.3rd\u2014That the citizens of the town of St.Hyacinthe, to express their appreciation of the loss which they have just made, will wear mourning till Saturday evening.4th\u2014That a copy of the present resolutions be presented to the family of the late Mrs.M.R.Papineau as the spontaneous expression of the grief and sympathy which the town and surrounding parishes experience on the occasion of so great a loss.A.A.A.S.\u2014We cut the following from the New York Herald of Tuesday :\u2014- originality of scientific discovery.To the Editor of the Herald.We see it stated in a recent Boston paper that Professor Pierce, of Cambridge, has discovered that the shape of continents is determined by the sun.It is published as an original discovery.The observation may be altogether a new one, for aught we know, but the discovery that continents were upheaved by the sun, and that the sun was the cause of earthquakes, volcanoes, and the geological oscillations of continents and oceans, was published in the New York Herald last August, in a paper read by C.F Winslow, to the American Association for the Advancement of science, which met in Albany.The paper was a very interesting one, and we believe received some commendatory notices from various quarters ; but we perceive that it is not published in the proceedings of the association for 1856, while Professor Pierce now starts the discovery as original with himself.It wouid seem to be a very important scientific discovery, if it be a fact, and we shall probably hear more about it hereafter.But we think Dr.Winslow has a decided claim to priority of announcement and originality of discovery, and we should like to know why the interesting paper reported in the Herald last year, as g.part of the proceeding of the Scientific Congress, was not published in their printed volume of \u201c Tran-actions.\u201d A MEMBER OF THE A.A.A.S.Departure of Bishop Fulford for England.\u2014Our highly respected Bishop being about to leave for England, in some measure we believe, on business connected with the Diocese and especially with the construction of the new Cathedral, the Clery of the Townships have, therefore, waited upon him with an address, which, together with the reply, will be found below :\u2014 To the Right Rev.Francis Fulford, D.D., Lord Bishop of Montreal : My Lord,\u2014We, the undersigned Clergy of the District of Missisquoi, in the Diocese of Afon-treal, having learned that your Lordship and /amily are about to cross the Atlantic, for a visit to your native land and your friends, beg leave to embrace this opportunity to testify to your Lordship the high sense we have enter- The Committee of the Mechanics\u2019 Institute beg to acknowledge, with thanks, the receipt of , .,\t,\t-\t- , a rare species of Fish, as a donation to the Mu- tained, and do entertain, of your Lordship\u2019s ¦ geum, from A.Ramsay, Esq., McGill Street.Gallery- of Paintings.\u2014We visited, last evening, the Gallery of Paintings at Bonaven-ture Hall, and were not a little surprised at the number and value of the pictures, not supposing it possible to have made so large a collection in this city.We found a large hall of eighty feet in length, the walls of which were completely covered with paintings, in elegant gilt frames.A frame-work extends around the Hall, to protect the pictures and sustain the gas lights, of which there are over one hundred, \"l'ilce to particularize the paintings most worthy ot attention, indeed, this will not be necessary, as a catalogue will shortly be published with full descriptions.Passing from the main gallery is another large hall, also filled with paintings and water-color drawings, which is even more attractive than the larger hall.The arrangements are now complete, and, we must say, they are highly creditable to the taste and judgment of the Committee.Members of the Scientific.Association are admitted free.To citizens generally the trifling charge of Is 3d is made.Every one who has a taste for the fine arts should not fail to visit the Gallery at Bonaventure Hall, Master Goodall, \u201cLe Petit Ole Bull.\u201d\u2014 This wonderful boy gave two Concerts in the Mechanics\u2019 Hall, on Alonday and Tuesday evenings, assisted by his Father, who is an excellent Buffo Singer and Violoncellist; but the son is an artiste of no ordinary talents, equal, if not superior, to any Violinist on this continent.His command over the king of instruments is really astonishing, while his bow arm is wonderfully perfect.The audience were enraptured with his marvellous skill, and should he again visit us we predict that he will have a hearty welcome and an overflowing house.He will visit Kingston, Bellville, Petefboro\u2019, Port Hope, St.Catharines, Hamilton, London, and Chatham, and we advise all lovers of true merit to patronise him.AMBB'ÏOAW ASSOCI41?ÏOW FOR THE, ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE, This Association met yesterday morning at the Court House.The Local and Standing Committees asssem-bled at half-past nine, and shortly after His Excellency Sir W.Eyre, K.C.B., Administrator of the Government and Commander of the Forces, attended by his Staff, arrived, and proceedad to the rooms of the Local Committee.There the members of that Committee and the officers of the Association had the honor of being presented to His Excellency.His excellency was attended by Air.Pennefather, Governor\u2019s Secretary; Lt.Loi.Thackwell, Military Secretary ; Lt.Col.the Hon.R.Rollo, Assist.Adj.Gen.; Lt.Col.Holsworth, Dcp.Qtmr.Gen.; Lt.Col.Irvine, Prov.A.D.C ; and Major Robertson, A.D.C.He wore his undress.uniform, with the star of Knight Commander of the Bath, and his collar and decoration as Commander of the Legion of Honor.Proceeding to the Circuit Court Room, where the general meeting was held, lie took his seat upon the Bench, having the Anglican Lord Bishop of Montreal on his left, the retiring President of the Association (Professor Hall, of Albany,) and the President of the Local Committee (Sir W.E.Logan) on his right.The room was crowded with a large and fashionable audience, a large number of ladies gracing the occasion with their presence.Among the notables present we noticed the Hon.R.Spence, P.M.General ; Hon.Attorney General Cartier, Hon.Air.Justice Day, Hon.Air.Justice Mondelet, Mr.Justice AIcCord, and Mr.Justice Bruneau ; Hon.Peter AIcGill, Hon.Colonel Aloffutt,-Hon.W.B.Robinson, AI.P.P.; Air.Holton, AI.P.P., Air.Loranger, AI.P.P., Air.Papin, AI.P.P., Air.Alorin, AI.P.P.;

Prof.Dawson and Prof.Howe, AIcGill College ; Prof.Hincks, Toronto; Air.Ramsay, of the British Geological Survey ; Professor Kelland, Edinburgh; Mr.Woodall, Oxford University, and Professors Thompson and Miles, Bishops\u2019 College, Lennoxville.Professor Hall, of Albany introduced to the Convention the Vice-President for the year, tres- ass Exhihiticn of the Fine Arts.\u2014This exhibition was opened last night in Bonaventure Hall.The collection is large and well worthy of a visit.The Equitable Fire Insurance Company of London, begs to acknowledge, with thanks, the recept of eighteen pounds fifteen shillings, from the Very Rev.Angus McDonell, of Kingston, restitution money for that Company.for Professor Caswell, w-ho stated that the proceedings Yvould be begun by a prayer by the Right Reverend the Lord Bishop of Montreal.His Lordship accordingly offered up a prayer as follows :\u2014 \u201c 0 Lord our God, who by thy Almighty word hast created the world, and now upholdest and governest all things iu heaven and earth, receive, we beseech thee, these our humble prayers, which we offer to thy divine Alajesty ; and as thou didst at the first teach the hearts of thy faithful people by sending to them the light of thy Holy Spirit, and hast graciously promised to continue his presence with them that ask for it, grant us by the same spirit to have a right judgment in ail tilings ; and specially direct and guide the deliberations and actions of this Association, in connection with which we are assembled here this day.May all our works be begun, continued, and ended in thee ; and while in the eager pursuit of knowledge.and the deep investigations of science, we may be led to exclaim that \u201cThe heavens declare the glory of God,\u201d let us never rest satisfied, 0 Lord God Almighty, unless from thy Word, which thou hast given us, we can also learn thy will, and grow in grace, as well as knowledge, and in raeetness for enjoying thy presence afterwards,\u2014when we may hope to see thee face to face, and know even as we are known.Let neither the splendour of anything that is great, nor the conceit of anything that is good in us, withdraw our eyes from looking upon ourselves as sinful dust and ashes.And thus clothed with humility, may we be meek, charitable, and courteous towards each other, so that no evil spirit of anger, jealousy, or vain glory, may find place in the midst of us to hinder or disturb our unity and peace.\u201c These petitions we offer up in the all-prevailing name of Jesus Christ, our only Mediator and Redeemer, with whose most perfect form of words, we conclude our imperfect address to the Throne of Grace.Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom comè, tny done on earth as it is in heaven : give us is day our daily bread, and forgive us om sgâmft us : fihVrTë'ifflTl'S but deliver us from evil ; fur thine is the king-\u2019dom, the power, and the glory, for ever and ever.Amen.\u2019\u201d Professor Caswell than addressed the Convention.\u2014He said : gentlemen of this Association, 1 have to congratulate you on the attendance of so large a number of members at the opening of this your eleventh annual meeting.It augurs well for the interests of science that so many have come to this gathering to place their choicest contributions on her altar, and to welcome to her fellowship the humblest labourer in her cause.I think, also, that it is a matter ot congratulation that we are met without the limits of the United States.However it may have been in former times it is not now tlio case that mountains or seas interposed'make enemies of nations.In the onward march of science, it is one of the felicities of our time that little account is taken of the boundaries that separate states and kingdoms.The discoverer of a new law, or principle in nature, of a new process in the arts or a new instrument of research of beneficial tendency, is speedily heralded over land and ocean ; is welcomed as the benefactor of his race,\u2019 and is immediately put into communication Yvith the whole civilized world.AA'e have before us a practical illustration of the amenities of science.We of the United States are here convened on British soil, little thinking that we have passed the boundary of the protection of American law, or that amidst the generous hospitality of this enter-prizing commercial capital of a noble Province of Great Britain we are aliens to the Britisli constitution.We have left the American eagle, but we assure the gentlemen of Canada that we feel in no danger of being harmed by the Britisli lion.I have said that we are aliens to the British constitution ; but that miistof course be taken in the narrowest and most technical sense, for I am proud to say, on deliberate conviction, that nothing is alien to the British Constitution that looks to the perfection of knowledge, to the furtherance of the arts or the amelioration of the condition of humanity.I further say, and (turning to Geh.Eyre) I here speak by permission, that the proudest achievements of British arms, and they have been proud enough for the highest desires of ambition or of glory, have been less glorious than that patronage of science, that success in the arts, and those attempts to improve the condition of our race, which have placed Old England in the van of nations.At no period of time has that patronage been more wisely directed or those noble efforts more earnestly persevered in than under the reign of the present il lustrions Queen, whose virtues are alike the ornament of her sex and Crown.There something of special fitness incur assembling here at this time\u2014at a moment when England and America are shaking bands with each other that electric chain which is to bind them in perpetual friendship, is being placed securely in the depths of the ocean, far out cf reach of any temporary storms which might impair its repose or lessen its efficiency.But our congratulations are not unmixed Yvith sadness.It is a melancholy event which has called me to preside at this time.You last year elected to your Presidency a gentleman distinguished for amenity of manners, philosophical research, and laborious diligence in the cause of science.That gentlemen is no longer among the living.Jacob Whitney Bailey died on the 26th February, in the 46th year of his age.I hope that before the close of this meeting a fitting tribute will be paid to his memory and services in scientific research.I will only say now that he was born in Alassachusetts in 1810 ; hut spent the greatest part of his youth in Providence, which is the place I represent here.He early gave indications of that love of study and research, which afterwards distinguished him.At a period when most boys are engrossed with the sports and occupations of their age, he was sedulously employed in making collections in natural history, and in the examination of their properties and scientific classifications.He afterwards graduated at West Point, and though not of a strong constitution passed with credit through the arduous studies of that institution, and ended his studies as fifth in a class of forty-five.He left in 1832.In 1834 he was recalled to give instructions in chemistry, geology and mineralogy, and in 1838 he had his full appointment to that Department.The official order announcing his death stated that for more than eighteen years he had held that chair with ability and success ; and it further stated, and stated truly, that distinguished for his attainments in science, his loss would be felt not only there, but by the friends of science throughout the world.All the friends of science acquainted with his labors will concur in this tribute to his memory.In his private life Prof.Bailey was exceedingly retiring, listening to the opinions of others, but reluctant to attract attention to his own.In the midst of domestic endearments, he was called to suffer a bitter sorrow and bereavement.In 1852, almost within sight of his own dwelling, his wife and daughter perished from the burning of a steamboat.He never fully recovered from the shock of that heart-rending event.In sorrow so profound, he found relief of spirit in the precious blessings of the gospel.The crowning excellency of his character was that to the severe inductions of philosophy, he added the humble faith of a Christian.Such was the man whom friendship and science deplores.In presiding over you, I must ask your indulgeace and co- epâp&tlon.We met to\tthé sente of science, and to onconrago each other, and to promote the great interests of humanity; for science must always he held tributary to that higher interest\u2014the interest of the human race.Sir AVm.Logan said the first duty devolving upon him was, on behalf of the Local Committee and the citizens, to bid the Association a hearty welcome iu Aloutreal.(Cheers.) The welcome which 1 could give could only be a welcome to Montreal ; but His Excellency, the Head of the Government, recognizing the importance of this meeting, and the interest attached to it, has kindly undertaken to give you a welcome, which will not he merely on the part of the citizens of Montreal, but on the part of the whole of Canada (cheers) ; and not merely of the whole of Canada, baton that of all the British North American poscessions.I shall therefore leave it to His Excellency to give you that welcome.His Excellency the Administrator of the Government rose amidst applause, and said :\u2014-Ladies and Gentlemen,\u2014It is not my desire or intention to detain you more than a few moments, as 1 ha\\\u2019e no doubt you will be anxious to commence the business of the meeting.But I wish to express, on behalf of Canada and myself, a warm and cordial welcome to all those who have honored us tvitli their presence upon this occasion.It is a gratification to see so many of the citizens of the United States amongst us.Time has been when so large an influx from the other side of the frontier might have awakened other feelings, not, possibly, unmixed with some degree of apprehension.But, thank God, these feelings have passed away, and we can now unite in one common purpose, whether for the advancement of commerce or the promotion of Science, feeling no other ri-valship thaij that of a generous emulation.\u2014 (Cheers.) We have, many of us, enjoyed the hospitality of our neighbors on the other side.It is not for us to praise ourselves, but I trust that that virtue is not deficient on this side of the national frontier.Thanks to the benefactors of Mankind, and the cultivators and promoters of Science, we have ample means of conveying our thoughts and persons without much difficulty ; and when that stupendous structure is completed which is striding across the river, and bids fair soon to afford the means of connexion with both sides, I trust our communi-ciuion will then be complete.I cannot conclude without expressing my regret at the absence of Professor Bailey, who had established for himself a European reputation, and whose presidency upon this occasion so many looked forward to with great pleasure.While we bow to that dispensation which has deprived us of his services upon this interesting occasion, 1 think we have in Professor Caswell a very worthy successor.The President said he had much pleasure in introducing to the Association Professor Ramsay, who was here as the delegate from the Geological Society of Great Britain.Professor Ramsay said it gave him great pleasure to find himself on this side of the Atlantic among his Scientific friends, whether Geologists or those who devote their attention to other branches of science.He said scientific friends, because he had the honour and the pleasure of numbering many of those gentlemen among his friends.He had found wherever he had gone there was a kind of brotherhood among scientific men\u2014that, go where you will, and merely announce your name, you are received with that affection, which is one of the greatest pleasures in scientific intercourse.He regretted that the gentleman first deputed by the Geological Society to attend this meeting found he was not able to come.Sir Roderick | Murchison was deputed, but his increasing ] years made him consider that it was advisable that he should not come, and the choice of the Society then fell upon him (Air.Ramsay).He had no idea of coming, having made arrangements to go to the top of Alont Blanc, where he expected to derive the greatest possible pleasure; hut being appointed to represent the Society at this Association, he gave up that excursion, as he anticipated ten times more pleasure, and ten times more instruction by coming to this meet-ting of the American Association.(Applause.) The President said lie had the pleasure of introducing Dr.Berlhold Seymour as the delegate of the Linnæan Society of Britain.Dr.Seymour expressed the great pleasure he had in being present and in expressing the high esteem which the Society he represented had always entertained for the American Association.The Linnean Society had always taken a deep interest in that Association, and he had no doubt that this meeting tvould add another chapter to the proud history of American Science.He begged to offer them the most sincere congratulations of the Society he had the honor to represent.Dr.Steiner, of Baltimore, said at last meeting iie had the honor of inviting the Association to hold its present meeting in Baltimore, but ow-to the great inducements held out bytheir friends on this side of the line, the Association accepted the the invitation to this city.The same Institute Yvhich he then had the honor of representing had renewed that invitation.There nresSfi'i\u2019Wlffl\u2019-Kentleman beside him who would Baltimore (the'Alarylanu «yiolher Society in mi____ -'.w.l.il.j ovt.mirl their invitation icr\u2019ei.V These Societies extend their invitation icr association to hold their meeting at Baltimore next year lie need only say that the courtesies of Baltimore would be extended to the Association, should they accede to the invitation.Professor Bache representative of the Maryland Institute, said that that Institute waived its claims last year in favor of AloiureaL They now renewed their invitation to the association to meet at Baltimore next year.He would therefore propose that both invitations be referred to the Standing Committee.The President said that Dr.Dawson would now address them on behalf of the Natural History Society of Montreal.Dr Dawson said'he did not intend to trouble them with saying anything upon the present occasion; but, as his name had been placed upon the programme, he would take the opportunity to oti'er the Association a most hearty welcome to Alontreal.He would not attempt to make any speech at present, but he hoped to have, on to-morrow evening, an opportunity of saying a few words, as they propose to invite all the members of thé Association to an entertainment, which will enable them to have some social interchange of sentimeiu with -one another.In behalf of the Natural History Society of Montrenl, he would say that they most heartily rejoiced to see so large a representation of American science as that now presented ; and they hoped thut this meeting would be very successful\u2014one which Yvill give a strong and healthy stimulus to the pursuit of natural history in this city and in Canada.If so, the Natural History Society will regard this as the greatest service which they have done to the cause of American science.(Cheers.) The President announced that six members of Committee would now be elected for the ensuing year, and that the election would be by ballot, as provided for in the constitution.A number of names were then proposed, and the result of the election, which was received with applause, was as follows :\u2014Professor Dawson of Alontreal ; Professor AVilson of Toronto ; Professor Henry of -; Professor Pearce of Albany ; Professor Olmstead of-; and Professor Lynch of -.Dr.Dewson then announced that the citizens of Alontreal, who wished to attend the meeting of the Association, but had no wish to become permanent Aleinbers, would have an opportunity of doing so by purchasing a ticket from the Secretary down stairs.This ticket would allow them to bring one or two ladies to all the meetings, simply as spectators of the proceedings.Some routine business was then transacted, and the meeting adjourned to give the committee an opportunity of organizing for the public business which commences this morning at 10 o'clock.AFTERNOONMEETING.Tile.V!a» »- - -\t- mittee had divided the Association into two Sections, A and B.Thefirstof these Sections would take cognizance of Mathematics, Astronomy, &c.;

AVhile we have been hanging upon the iiext Indian mail to tell us whether or not the iputi-ny had been extended or suppressed, a much larger question has arisen\u2014whether our Indian empire is to be retained, or to be abandoned ?Be the mutiny suppressed or not, we may still ask ourselves whether it initiates the decline of our power in the East ?For our hold upon India can only te recovered by labor much greater than the mere military work of conquering the particular mutineers.There are questions also of dominion, and, deeper than this, questions of policy.We must reconsider the spirit of our government if we are to keep our Indian empire ; and before we can determiue that we should abandon that empire, it will behove us to consider whether imperial states can abandon their dependencies and yet, retain their greatness.The precedents do not justify us in assuming the affirmative of that question.AVith two remarkable exceptions, the examples of colonizing countries that have asserted a dominion over territories far beyond the confines of the parent state exhibit a loss of dependencies and a loss of greatness nearly simultaneous if not connected with each other.In some cases it is difficult to saw which is the cause and which the consequence.Perhaps they react.The examples that speak to us through history are those of Tyre, Greece, Carthage, Rome, A\u2019enicc, Genoa, Spain, Portugal, France and\tDenmark.\u2014¦ Respecting the manner \u2022 of Phoenician colonization we know almost nothing, and the Greek' dependencies were quite unlike our Indian empire.AA'g come nearer to the point when we arrive at Carthage, which for centuries held an undisputed sivay over three hundred African cities, besides the more distant dependencies of Sardinia, Corsica, Sicily, Malta, the Balearic Isles, Gambia, and Senegal, together with settlements on the coast of Spain and Britain.The war with Rome originated in the dispute over some of those colonies and it was in consequence of them that Carthage fell.The \u201ccolonise\u201d of Rome were not the cause why Rome herself succumbed, but the central state on the Tiber, in falling, dragged with itself its dependencies, and opened them to the conquest of the barbarian.Venice is a grand example of a state declining through tUe loss ot its tributaries.Reduced to herself, Are-nice was like a brain without a body ; and the ruined marble mansions of the Bride of the Adriatic tell, even in our own day, a sad tale of departed glories.Genoa declined when she lost her settlements at Galata, Kaffa, and in the Crimea.Spain and Portugal were sinking when they lost their Transatlantic possessions.It is the same with Denmark, and still more with Holland\u2014a rival of England while she drew wealth from colonies in great part alien, never largely peopled by the parent state, but held by military and mercantile tenure.France alone seems in modern days to form the exception to the general rule that the loss of large and powerful dependencies involves the ruin of the important country; fora century ago France ruled magnificent portions of the North American continent, and is as strong after the loss of those vast possessions as ever she was before.But the position of France is like that of Romo formerly ; Rome was and France is in our own day amilitary state.The chief strength of such states lies iu the courage, genius, and moral condition of their population, and in their central or home government.Our own loss of the American colonies is in many ways\u2014 in its causes, its incidents, and its results\u2014exceptional ; but it is an experiment that few would care to repeat.If England be compared to any other country, she must seek to study her fate iu that of similar commercial countries holding distant possessions, such as Venice, Genoa, Denmark, and Holland, whose political greatness and territorial grandeur existed together and fell together.Excepting the purely military states, such as ancient Rome and modern France, we may say that, within the scope of authentic history, the falling oil of subordinate provinces has always been the preliminary sign of approaching decay for the whole empire.In this view, the outlying dependencies have been the outposts of the imperial state\u2019s greatness ; and, applying the experience to our own position in India, we may hold that it is our work to defend that empire as the outpost ot our power and even of our national character.Our dominion in that quarter lias in times past been more threatened than it is now, but only when it was in a muchmore infant state.\\Are are told that mutinies have broken out before in the Native army, and have been put down but what past mutiny can compare with that with which we have now to contend?The instances are not many, and they present no comparison wiUi the present crisis.At Patna, in 1764, a whole battalion of Sepoys deserted, with the intention of joining the enemy; but General Alonro overtook them, and suppressed the mutiny with a tremendous act ol retribution.The mutiny at Vellore, in 1806, bore some resemblance .to the insurrection at Meerut, for iu the middle of the night the Sepoys suddenly attacked the European officers.But killing about a hundred officers and men, and in wounding about as many more, they were disarmed on the same day, with a slaughter four times as great as that which they had inflicted.Barrack pore had been the scene of a mutiny before 1857\u2014just thirty-two yearsbefore; but that affair was comparatively trifling \u2014 no Europeans lost their lives, and only a few dozen of the mutineers were killed in dispersing them.A revolt of the 66th Bengal Regiment at Urnritsir, in 1850, was put down without bloodshed.The reader of Thornton and the \u201c Friend of India\u201d will find these and other cases of mutiny more or less partial, but none that can at all compare with that which we have witnessed in our own day.It lias assumed such magnitude because our official rulers could not preconceive the existence of such a defection.They suffered it to grow, when they might have prevented it earlier, because they lacked the faculty of imagination.They wanted that quality of statesmanship which,enables men to perceive ah event that has not yet developed itself\u2014to calculate the course of some political cornet when they have only a few elements of its orbit.Yet it is the business of the simplest statesmanship to make these calculations.Since the defection has been allowed to go so far, the duty is forced upon us of considering yet larger measures than the simple suppression of revolt.We have to put that down, to prevent more outbreaks in future, to reorganize the army in a manner which will prevent instead of contributing to such disorders, and to regain the moral strength of an undisputed and paramount power in India.The magnitude of these duties has at last been forced upon the perceptions of dull minds, and we have the natural reaction : the measures of suppression and reform hastily suggested are as enormous as the events, and in some respects as rash and unpolitic.We see suggestions that an immense European force should be introduced into India ; that the aimy of Bengal should be abolished, and replaced by Europeans ; that the most sweeping changes should be effected in the condition and tenure of the Native population\u2014 as if it were possible to govern scores of millions of aliens in Bengal, if not a hundred or a hundred and fifty millions of aliens in the whole of India, by main force! The truth is, that the dangers have arisen from the want of discrimination, and indiscriminate measures will not retrieve the mischief.We incline to the opinion of those Anglo-Indians who consider some of the measures already adopted too indiscriminate.The disarming or disbanding of whole regiments, which might have been commanded and guided in a manner to preserve their loyalty, is a very clumsy way of remedying the eflects of neglect.The sending a whole company to gaol was an equally questionable proceeding.Some of the previous revolts have not been put down in this manner.The severity has been as great, but it h \u2019S been more distinctive.General Monro did not imprison a whole battalion of Sepoys, bathe picked out twenty-four of the ringleaders and they were blown from the mouths of cannon.A private gentleman has lately effected a great moral blow in one ofthe similar districts near Delhi by seizing a mischievous petty chief and hanging him.When four regiments of Bengal infantry mutinied at Barràckpore in 1825, eleven men were hanged on the day after.No doubt, a more vigUant control over the Bengal nrmy would have checked the, spread of the present disaffection ; and a few examples, months, if not years earlier, might have saved immense danger and disaster to multitudes of the people and to our own dominion.It is very necessary that a sufficient number of European troops should be.thrown in to keep the Native mercenaries in order.The distribution should be such as to prevent any alien rebels from consolidating their strength.But India is not to be preserved to us by a dead weight of military power.Such avast population must always to a certain extent be governed through itself, partly by keeping it in check, partly by studying its feelings and the exercise of those influences which can guide without irritating.The skilful driver knovvs how to make his horses feel that there is a tight hand upon the reins if they are impatient, while \u201c their heads are given to them\u201d so long as they go at the proper pace.So it is with adult children like the semi-barbarian Hindoo.\u2014 Whatever differences may exist among Anglo-Indians, there is common agreement in the fact that the Hindoo has been treated too much like the European.On grounds of common humanity, he might be persuaded to part with some of his usages \u2014 with his festival of Juggernaut or his suttee.The proposal to remarry widows trenched upon his ideas, of positive morality.\u2014 But when he sees a law passed that threatens his social position, his very property is at stake.A law was passed, that the convert to Christianity, notwithstanding the consequent loss of caste, should retain his land ; a law 11 striking at the very foundations of property,' as our landowners would say.It injured individual interests, for those friends and relations who would have succeeded to the forfeited property saw their reversionary rights destroyed.Again, in the distribution of greased cartridges he sees a stratagem to deprive him of caste, and so to loosen his tenn re upon his land.No pouring-in of common soldiers,with the best officers,could hold 150,000,000 men in check, if we irritate and alarm them while removing them from the actual control of firm and skilful administrator#.Quite as much as soldiers, are wanted men.or a man, who knows the Native character\u2014who has ths\t.uaul ika heart to govern the bar» barinn, the energy &qd ûrraess to carry qufc his own councils.Haye we such men, either in London or in India?We cannot answer the question in the afiirmative.We have Mr.Vernon Smith at the Board of Control ; of whom it has lately been said in Parliament that every Anglo-India mistrusts him.But perhaps he is not the real governor.Is it Lord Palmerston?If he is, does he understand Indian affairs ?Is the Governor General promoted from the Post Office to sit at the head ofthe gigantic correspondence of India during the time of apparent tànquillity, the man who would be exactly selected for the present juncture?On this important point we are absolutely destitute of information.But one thing the facts tell us\u2014that the men appointed in India, or retained there, ought to be men suited to the present circumstances.The Upper Canada Bank Robbery.\u2014The preliminary investigations in this important case have been closed, except as to the hearing of Counsel.Two of the accussed, Kerby and McGaffey, were examined yesterday as witnesses for the defence.They were cross examined at considerable length and some important facts elicited.The arguments of Counsel will probably occupy the attention of the Bench another day.Mr.Read, on behalf of Cummings, was urging the insufficiency of the evidence to establish any crime against his client when the court adjourned to 91 o\u2019clock this morning.Mr.Patterson, Mr.Eccles, and Dr.Connor are to follow for the defence, and Mr.Gamble will reply for the prosecution.The Magistrates intimated that it might become necessary to take the opinion of the law officers of the Crown before giving judgment.It will be seen from the proceedings already published, that the charge of Robbery has been for the present, abandoned, and that of Embezzlement subtituted.There will be no occasion to look elsewhere for the robber, or robbers, if the present charge is made out.We would not anticipate the decision of the Bench, but it is scarcely possible, after what has been admitted that a/I the parties will be allowed to escape the ordeal of an investigation before a higher Court.There are many facts of grave importance involved in this case which would justify more than a passing comment, but we abstain until the Magistrates have decided the points now befbre them.\u2014 Toronto Globe Tuesday .The Late Hamilton Murder.\u2014At the Coroner\u2019s inquest on the body of Eliza Sanderson, whose death was reported in Saturday\u2019s Globe, the following facts were dieted :\u2014That the woman was killed by her husband there is no doubt, but whether the killing amounts to murder when viewed by popular scepticism of the day, is by no means so certain.But in our plain way, we shall call it murder.As we intimated on Saturday, the deceased and her husband had been prowling round the city for months past, begging during the day with the aid of a petition to which respectable names were attached, and spending the nights in debauchery, at some of the numerous dens of infamy inland around the city.Blythman\u2019s tavern, on York Street, seems to have been their favourite resort ; here they lodged at a cost of Is 3d a night, and got as much whiskey as they could pay for,\u2014treating and being treated.Sanderson and his wife were nearly always more or less intoxicated, and became and uneasy prey to other miserable wretches who made sport of them.Sanderson was made jealous by the conduct and stories of these parties, and it was in a fit of this passion that he beat her to death, in broad day-light, and with several persons looking on, the partner of his life.They had been staying at Blythman\u2019s for a week or ten days, indulging in liquor and quarrelling continually.Some man known as Kit, was the old man\u2019s chief tormentor, but it did not appear that he had been near them since Wednesday.In his defence, however, Sanderson stated that on Thursday night, a man had forced his way into his bedroom, bringing with him a bottle of whiskey, with which he endeavoured to make him (Sanderson) drunk, and then attempted to make free with his wife.He further stated, that after a severe struggle, he pushed the intruder out of the room, and got his hand wounded in the melee.Other witnesses testified to hearing a great noise, but'they did not interfere, they said for such things were too common to induce any notice or interference.On Friday morning, Sanderson renewed his calls at the bar several times, and took liquor up stairs for his wife.\u2014 About noon they were seen sitting on the steps at the back of the house, where some blows were given to the deceased by her husband.lie then went into the bar room, and she was missed for some time.About two o\u2019clock, a tavern-keeper named George Hoult came into the house and told Sanderson that his wife was lying in a vacant lot close by with another man ; whereupon Sanderson rushed out of the house, seized a piece of flooring about seven feet long, and ran to where the woman was.He was followed by Blythmao, and his wife and daughter, as well as by Hoult,\u2014all of whom s\\yore that they saw him layiug on savagely, but none could distinctly assert that they saw him strike her, except Hoult, who said he saw the prisoner stauiD on the woman, and heard him say \u201cshe\u2019s « güALrT I rt\\/ vuii'ul mviui Uivraeu.uumi ^iumun and William Pearson also witnessed the brutal proceedings, or at least as much of it as was convenient for them to see.They allege that they were in a privy close by, consulting about the purchase of a lot of sheep, when Sanderson commenced to belabour the place where the woman lay, with the piece of flooring, but that they could not say distinctly that he hit her, and that they left to avoid Seeing more of the scene.Mrs.Fainveather was also an eye-witness from her own door, some hundred yards distant.She gave her evidence in a clear satisfactory manner, setting forth that she saw prisoner plying the piece of flooring close by the fence some dozen times, and by the motion of his body appeared to kick also about three times; but as there was a fence between them, she could not see.the woman on the ground ; she had no doubt that it was her whom he struck and kicked.On her accusing him, shortly afterwards, of beating his wife, he denied that he had dqne so, but said that it was some other man.He now admitted using the stick, but said that he merely struck the fence, in order to wake her up.The miserable woman lived about half an hour, but did not speak.Drs.Billings and Roseborough were called in, and in the evidence before the inquest, proved that the woman died of injuries on the head, breast and abdomen, any one of which would have been sufficient to cause immediate death.The whole case exhibits another sad proof of the active presence in our midst of a scourge more terrible than pestilence, for in its wake follow a long train of murders, arsons, thefts, and general demoralization.A fearful state of things is that which presses home the conviction in reviewing such deeds as these, that a -\t\u2022-w**.E-t'Kbe mïïï iSommevtt., CIRAND TRUNK RAN,WAY OF CANADA.Comparative Statkmhnt of Traffic Rcci-ipfij fur the exc of the law, is the only criminal.This wreti who will now hare to answer the awful charge of murder, is the victim\u2014firstly, of an unbridled system of inebriety and liquor traffic,\u2014and secondly, of a coarse practical'joke, got up by and for the amusement of his pot companions.Early in the morning, one of the party had feigned to carry off his wife's bundle, in order to work upon his jealousy, and subsequently they represented to hirn that she had decamped with the man before alluded to as \u201c Kit.\u201d In this way they amused themselves, and succeeded the primary cause of the death of a worthless, abandoned woman, by the hands of a whiskey-maddened, demon husband\u2014-an awkward reflection for the participato rs in the vile, dirty joke, and which would bow any decent man\u2019s head with immortal shame.At the conclusion of the inquest, at which Mr.Coroner Bull presided, Sanderson was fully committed to gaol, the jury finding that he killed his wife.\u2014 Toronto Globe, Tuesday.Preserving American Grain.\u2014The results of some experiments made in France in the preservation of grain have hut very recently been published.A year ago exactly, 2,175 bushels of American wheat were, by way of trial, enclosed in two silos of sheet iron\u2014large cylinders sunk in the ground\u2014and were carefully closed, sealed and covered.The seals were removed in the first week of last month, in presence of two delegates from the War Office and of several members of the Commission for Military Stores.The grain was then subjected to a strict examination and unanimously declared to be exactly the same as when sealed up.The cost of preserving corn by means of these silos does not exceed 16 cts, per 2| bushels, while all danger of loss by fire or vermin is entirely obviated.Origin of the word \u201c Honeymoon.\u201d\u2014It was the custom of the higher orders of the Germans, says a German paper, to drink mead, a beverage made with honey, for thirty days after every wedding.From this custom comes the expression \u201c to spend the honeymoon.\u201d Letter Writing.\u2014The people of the State of New York write in a year 29,259,943 letters, while all of the States south of the Potomac and Ohio rivers\u2014Missouri, Arkansas and Texas included\u2014write but 31,709,035 New York and Massachusetts have a postal correspondence in a year that reaches 40,622,014 letters, while every State south of the Potomac and the Ohio and west of the Mississippi have but 37,089,418 letters.Fires.\u2014A fire broke out yesterday morning about half-pasr twelve o\u2019clock in a house inLa-gauchetiere Street, owned by Mr.L.Beaudry and occupied by Mr.Pursell.It was extinguished with but little damage.Another fire broke out about half-past two o\u2019clock in astable corner of Vallée and St.Philip Streets, which extended to a small wooden house close by.Fortunately there was a good supply of water, and the firemen wrought well, as they ever do, and the fire was got under with comparatively little damage.Excursion to Vakennes\u2014On Friday at 3, P.M.\u2014The splendid new steamer \u201cSalaberry\u201d will make an excursion to Varennes, on Friday, the 14th instant, at 3p.m.Passage: 2s 6d for gentlemen ;
