the real amount for which Messrs.Edmonstone and Allan would probably bo liable, being much less than the nominal amount of the credit, inasmuch as lumber was to be delivered constantly against such credit.For this Mr.Brown agreed to pay the regular business commission, and, to make assurance doubly sure, the Montreal firm took collateral security on a property, which their valuators estimated at $60,000, and which their attorney\u2014one of the most respectable in Toronto\u2014declares to have been unincumbered.\u2014 Furthermore, it appears that so far from any political services lying at the bottom of this transaction, the whole thing was managed by a broker, who mentioned no names in offering his proposals, and who negotiated in the first instance with gentlemen well known in Montreal, though their names are properly withheld from the correspondence,and who,it is plain from the statements made, were not restrained from accepting the baigain from any idea of its insecurity.Now, it is on a basis so utterly flimsy as this, that a firm, certainly of high standing among ns, has been accused of a bribery worse than that which vitiated the Lever contract, and that an attempt has been made to destroy the character of a public man, by fixing upon him the darkest crime which, as a public man, he could commit.Though the whole transaction was so well known, that any respectable person seeking information might have learned all about it, not one of the propogators of the story would take the trouble to inquire, even at a distance of a few hundred yards from their own doors.Even that respectable journal, whose condnc-tors\u2014in one of their fits of independence, we suppose\u2014very properly refused to libel Mr.Young as a j jbber of wharf lots without learning his account of the transaction\u2014even this journal, we say, whose gentleness towards opponents has hitherto prevented its readers from knowing anything of the elegant scene in the City Council anent the Victoria Square, would not wait till its conductors could walk down to Commissioners Street, before they gave a dditional circulation to the slander.In Mr.Brown\u2019s case, all the Christian charity which drew so thick a veil over the scandals of the City Council, did not prevent the repetition, in several shapes, of one of the most easily cleared up falsehoods, which, in our time, has been set afloat respecting any public man.And this was contiaued after the falsehood of the original statement had been admitted almost from beginning to end ; and when the allegation that the money had been received after Mr.Brown had voted against the ministerial proposal for increased aid to the steamers and had induced him to change his opposition into support, had been replaced by the revised story that he had received the money before hand, not to vote for, but to vote against the measure, while he rendered the somewhat immaterial service of wishing in his heart that the bill would pass.Nor has even this been all.It has not been sufficient to declare that Mr.Brown had been bribed; but in the recklessness of defamation, it was added that the Steamship Company, instead of a payment for services, which they were well able to find the capital to perform, had, in a state of bankruptcy from the losses of their ships or otherwise, been obliged to get the increased subsidy as a loan from government ; and that they had then fradulently applied this loan, granted to their necessities, to bribe a member ot the Opposition.As to the person said to be bribed, his enemies were not satisfied to charge him with this public offence ; but he was pronounced utterly bankrupt ; his property, worth according to professional valuation $60,000, was said to be a worthless swamp ; and unincumbered as jit appeared to be to one of the first legal authorities in Toronto, it was spoken of as overburdened with mortgages.No sooner were the floodgates thus opened than new charges were poured through them.During the short Premiership of the member for Toronto, he had it was saidi corruptly obtained from one Bank $532,000, and that at a subsequent period, the Bank of Montreal had given him another large sum to secure his opposition to the Inspector-Generals Banking Bill.We might ask whether there is not something wrong in a society, where any portion of AND DAILY COMMERCIAL GAZETTE.VOLUME LII MONTREAL, FRIDAY %NING, AUGUST 17, 1860 NUMBER 197.the press will venture to outrage decency in so gross a manner.Admitting in the fullest degree the right to call for inquiry upon all matters involving the public interest, is it to be borne that a man, who may be struggling with the pressure of the times in a part of the country where that pressure is known to be heavy, shall have his difficulties\u2014if such he kas\u2014increased by statements for merely political motives that he is bankrupt\u2014that his apparent property, worth to the keen eye of a professional valuator, $60,000 cash,\u2014is worth nothing, and that, such as it is\u2014though really incumbered\u2014it is mortgaged for more than it is worth?Supposing Mr.Brown was or was not bribed, what had that to do with the value of his property, its encumbrances, if they existed, or the general condition of his finances?We, however, instead of pursing this line of reflection, turn to another question.While these patriotic writers have been exhausting themselves upon a tale purely of their own invention, false from beginning to end, and whose falsehood could have been asertained in a few minutes, what have they said about an affair that rests on no surmises\u2014a part of the history of which has been published in official documents on the authority of the Ministry, and another part of which has only not been published, because the important document which contained it has been suppressed from the appendix to.the proceedings of the committee, although the report, deliberately agreed on by that committee states that the document will be found in the appendix ?All these patriotic mouths have been dumb ; all these patriotic pens have been idle, on the subject respecting the public money given without authority of Parliament by the Ministry to the proprietor of the Leader newspaper,\u2014as all the world can see in authoritative printed reports\u2014to the amount of $29,000, and, as members of the Public Accounts Oommittee, who saw the minute of Council referred to in the Committee\u2019s report, but suppressed in the appendix, allege to have reaily been to the amount of $93,000.We hope, now that the Brown bribery case is disposed of, some of this fervent zeal will be devoted to the proper denunciation of these, not imaginary, but admit-e d facts.Inauguration of the Exhibition Buildins.\u2014 We would call the attention of our readers to the advertisement in another column, regarding the selection of seats for the Inauguration Ceremony at the Exhibition Building, A large number ot seats were taken yesterday by the subscribers, and although many good places can yet be had, those intending to be present should not overlook the fact, that the longer they delay their subscription the further will they be from the centre of attraction, the Prince of Wales, on that interesting occasion.It has been thought by some that large subscrip tions to the Citizens\u2019 Reception Fund, would cover admission to this ceremony ; and, we understand that this misapprehension stilj exists to some extent.It will be seen by the advertisnment, that none but subscribers to the Exhibition Building Fund, can be present at the Inauguration.We have also been requested to announce for the guidance of any in doubt, that as this is a forenoon ceremony, strict full dress will not be required from any one who may not be present in an official capacity.Full morning visiting costume is all that is requisite either on the part of ladies or gentlemen.The Pbinob of Wales at New York.\u2014We learn from the New York papers of Wednesday, that, on the day previous, a large meeting of the leading merchants, bankers and citizens generally of that city had been held, for the purpose of adopting some suitable demonstration of respect towards the Prince of Wales, and the distinguished members of his suite, on the occasion of his, and their, approaching visit to the United States.On Mr.Cyrus W.Field stating to the meeting that he had received direct information from parties connected with the Prince\u2019s suite, to the effect thatH.R.H.had accepted only two invitations from the United States and would make no further arrangements until his arrival at Quebec, aud urging upon the meeting (although we cannot see the logical connection) that, therefore, the better plan would be to confer with the British residents as to their proposed demonstration, Mr.John J.Cisco replied, that he was in favour of a separate demonstration on the part of the American residents.His proposal was that the demonstration should consist of a banquet, which he said he preferred to a ball, as if could take place on the floor of the Academy of Music, while the ladies could occupy the surrounding boxes.Mr.Cisco\u2019s suggestion was ultimately adopted and a large general committee appointed to make the necessary arrangements.From this committee the following sub-committees were appointed :\u2014 A oommitteee of ten on invitations ; a committee of seven on tickets and finances ;a committee of seven on reception ; a committee of seven on house and mnsic; a committee of seven on decorations ; a committee of seven on toasts ; a committee of ten on dinner ; a committee of seven on police and carriages; a committee of seven to proceed to Canada to tender the invitation to the Prince and suite.The following is the Committee to proceed to Canada : William B.AStpr, John A.King, William M.Havemeyer, Hamilton Fish, Robert B.Minturn, Wilson G.Hunt, Robert Kennedy.The Reciprocity Treaty.\u2014We learn from the Cleveland Herald of the 8th instant, that, at a meeting of the Board of Trade of that city, held on the day previous, the following resolution was proposed by Mr.M.B.Scott, (Mr.Merritt being present) :\u2014 Whereas,\u2014The Hon.Mr.Hatch, of Buffalo, has lately made a report to Congress, in which he attempts to show that the Reciprocity Treaty is detrimental to the interests of the United States, and recommends its abrogation ; and inasmuch as there are usually two sides to such questions, Resolved,\u2014That the Hon.Hamilton Merritt be requested to publish such facts and documents in relation thereto, as he has within his reach, for the information of parties interested in the Lake and Frontier trade.The Hon.Mr.Merritt explained his reason for opposing the abrogation of the treaty, and insisted on its being preserved as a stepping-stone to the great end of abolishing all customs duties and imposts between the United States and the Canadas, thus placing the two countries commercially, on the same relations that New York and Ohio bear to each other.Mr.Scott\u2019s resolution was passed, Mr.Merritt promising to lay his facts and arguments before the Board, as soon as he conveniently could.We insert the following extract from the Court Journal of London The presentation of Dr.Augustus Rawling at the Queen\u2019s levee, on the 24th of April, was caused by false representations as to his nationality made to the United States Minister, and is to be considered hull, as not hay ing taken place.\u201d Base Ball Club\u2014 On Monday, the 6th August, a Base Bali Club was organized in this city, when it was decided to name it the \u201cExcelsior_ Base Ball Club\u201d of Montreal, and the following gentlemen were elected officebearers :\u2014 President\u2014Alex.M'Intosh.Vice-President\u2014E.Church Secretary\u2014D.Townsend.Treasurer\u2014T.Cuddy.andSikman:\tA< F\u2019 Eldfid«e- Their practice ground is to be for the present in the field belonging to Mr.G.Balehin, above the Montreal Cricket Ground.International Courtesies and Hospitalities.It will be seen by our advertising co-lums, that the Military Company of Independent Boston Fusiliers are to be the guests of onr gallant Montreal Field Battery, daring the visit of His Royal Highness to our fair city.The Fusiliers are expected to arrive\u201480 rank and file, with their officers\u2014on Thuriday the 23d instant, on which evening a Grand Prome.nade Concert will be given by their hosts of the Field Battery, in the City Concert HaU, at which, we take it for granted, the splendid Boston Band, known as the Germania Band, said to be one of the best in the United States, and who will accompany the Fusiliers, will form not the least attraction in the amusements of the evening.We have no doubt the invitation of our triends of the Field Battery will be numerously responded to by their fellow-citizens and their families, and that crowds will unite with them, on Thursday evening, in welcoming their Boston guests to \u201c this Canada.\u201d The Prince\u2019s Residence.\u2014In our description of the residence of the Prince in Montreal, we fell into a alight error in our description of the carpets.That for the room of the Prince\u2014is a very fine Brussels of a green ground, with a chaste small white detatched flower.That on the Duke of Newcastle\u2019s room is the same quality, a small design in green and gold\u2014 The stairs aud lauding has been changed to crimson and white.The other bedrooms are all en suite, a neat white ground, small pattern, Kidderminster.And we notice from an advertisement in another column that onr friend Mr.Baylis has still some of these beautiful designs left at his Warehouse, No.74 Great St.James Street, which he will be happy to show to any one.Personal\u2014We are, as.usual, indebted to Messrs.Allan Brothers, of Liverpool, and Mr.Irish, of the British and American Express Company, for the latest English papers by the Anglo-Saxon.Our thanks for the same oblig-ing attention are due to Messrs.R.and.M.Constant.Another New Fountain\u2014The new Foantain opposite the Nelson Monument is now completed, and was in play for the first time yesterday.The design of the central ornament is very neat and pretty.There is a figure of Neptune standing on a circular slab, and holding an upright trident, from the teeth of which three tiny jets d'euu constantly issue.Underneath there are a pair of dolphins, and other appurtenances of the classical design.The central part of the Fountain and its ornamental accompaniments, are from the establishment j;of Messrs, Rodden and Meilleur, Great St.James Street.The Court House Wall.\u2014Messrs.Lawford and Nelson have written to us to say that there are as many men employed on this work, as the circumstances admit of being employed with profit_ that it is from the nature of the job impossible to finish it before the Prince arrives ; but that all the unsightly material will be, removed by that time, Mr.Laberge the builder, using every possible exertion.Caution to the Public.\u2014It seems that there are a great many pickpockets making this City the scene of their exploits, allured, no donbt, by the harvest expected at the coming festivities.One of these light-fingered gentry yesterday contrived to pick the pocket of Mr.Pierce, the book-keeper at Messrs.Bartley and Gilbert\u2019s, of a sum of All 5s., during a visit by that gontlonaa.ii tu ti«0 i?oat Office immediately after drawing the money at tne v/imSS rio Bank.There was a considerable throng at the Post Office in consequence of the delivery of the European Mail, and Mr.Pierce had just used his portmonnaie to pay for the letters he had received when upon retiring he felt a crush that compelled him to lean a little on the partition.Upon extricating himself from the crowd he found that his portmonnaie had been taken from his pocket.Pickpockets Again.\u2014 Mrs.McNiece was easedjof her portmonnaie, containing £4 10s., by another of these light-fingered gentry, while on board the, St.Lambert Ferry Boat at the wharf on Wednesday night.The thief has as yet escaped detection.Bonfire at St.Helen\u2019s Island.\u2014 Among other preparations for the Prince\u2019s reception we hear that it is intended to have a large bon-fire on St.Helen\u2019s Island on the night of the illumination.Barrels of pitch,tar and other combustible materials are to be furnished by the authorities for the purpose.Fire.\u2014About noon on Wednesday, some sparks from the chimney of the steamboat \u201c John Mackenzie,\u201d at the time coming into port, fell on the awning of the ship \u201c Mine-sota\u201d and set it on fire.The flames were with some difficulty extinguished by the hands of the ship.Daring Theft.\u2014Michael Hughes, residing at the corner of Gabriel and Murray Streets, gave Information yesterday to the Chief of the Water Police, that about nine o\u2019clock on the previous evening, he was encountered by four men beyond the Wellington Bridge, one of whom snatched a fowling;piece from his hands and ran off with it.The Police having been notified, immediately started in pursuit of the thief, hut their pursuit was unsuccessful.\u2014 Suspicion, however, attaches to certain parties, for whose arrest warrants have been issued.We are requested to draw the attention of the practical members of the Oratorio Society to the fact that this evening\u2019s praot ce, in the Normal School, takes place at half-past six o\u2019clock, in lieu of eight, as usual.A Temperance meeting will be held this evening at 8 o\u2019clock, in the Mechanics\u2019 Hall, to make the necessary arrangements for the pro-ce sion on Saturday, the 26th inst., in honour of H.R.H.the Prince of Males.The temperance public are respectfully invited to attend.STEAMER \u201cOTTAWA \u201d August 14th, 1860.At a meeting of the Passengers held on board the American Express Line Steamer, \u201cOttawa, \u2019 Captaiii Rankin, upon her arrival at Montreal, Chas.Wall, Esq., of New York, was caUed to act as President.G.C.Finney, Esq., Oswego.Chas.H.Masson, do, Phil Frederick Gerker,do, do.G.W.Poillou, New York Geo.D.Lunt, Esq., Secretary.The following resolutions were unanimously adopted :\u2014 \u201cWhereas, we, the subscribers, having purchased our Tickets from Niagara via Lewiston, by steamer Bay State, Captain Morley, and Ottawa, Capt.Rankin, and having had made to us various misrepresentations by employees of the Opposition Line, before leaving Niagara\u2014Resolved, that we chaer-fully recommend to the traveUing public the American Express Line to be, in our opinion, the safest, quickest, and most comfortable route.Resolved__\u201c That too much praise cannot be given to Capt.Morley of the \u201c Bay State,\u2019 Capt.Rankin of the \u201cOttawa,\u201d and their officers, for their gentlemanly attentions to the wants of their passengers, also to Mr.Shipman, Agent of the Line, who accompanied us.Resolved\u2014\u201cThat we are agreeably disappointed in arriving so much earlier than the Opposition Line, having been informed by their employees that their boats arrived from 4 to 6 hours earlier.CHARLES WALL, President.GEO.D.LUNT, Secretary.Chas.H.Masson, Philadelphia ;

Vice Presidents.THE EDMONSTONE, ALLAN AND BROWN BRIBERY CASE.The following letters addressed to Mr.Brown and published in the Globe, will we suppose effectually dispose of this subject, which has so long furnished pabulum for the professional slanderers of the Canadian Press.HON.L.H.HOLTON TO MR.BROWN.Montreal, Aug.14, 1860.My Dear Sir,\u2014I am in the receipt of your letter of the 10th inst., and I proceed to state so far as I can recall them, the oircumstances of which I was personally cognizant relative to your négociations here in December last, which ended in your obta ining a credit of $20,000 from Messrs.Edmonstone, Allan & Co.As you say, you consulted with me throughout the whole of these nogociations.You called upon me immediately after your arrival in Montreal in the beginning of Decem-cember, and explained very fully the object of your visit to this city.You told me you had offers from American lumber dealers at highly remunerative price-, for all the hardwood saw ed lumber your mills could turn out during the winter ; that you desired to obtain a bank credit through a Commission-house here for $20,000 to enable you to accept and execute tnose orders ; that you were willing to pay a liberal commission for the accommodation ; that the proceeds of the lumber would be applied to the paymeut of the drafts to be drawn under the credit ; and that, to protect the acceptors against every possible contingency, you woultl give them, as collateral security, a mortgage ou property of much greater value than the amount of the credit.You asked my advice as to the houses that would be likely to entertain.proposals for sach a transaction, and I recommended the employment of a broker as the means whereby most trausactions of magnitude are now effected in this market.You adopted the suggestion, and immediately placed yourself in communication with Mr.T.M.Taylor, of Taylor Brothers, a well-known and highly respectable firm of brokers in this city.You gave Mr.Taylor his instructions in my presence.Their purport was simply to request him to negotiate a credit for $20,000, with a first-class house, on the basis above indicated.I was present during several interviews when Mr.Taylor called to report to you what progress he was making in the execution of his commission.One leading firm who had at first entertained the proposition ultimately declined it.Another prominent house so far assented to it that you were brought by Mr.Taylor into personal communication with them for the purpose of closing the transaction.The negotiation finally tell through, because, as X understood the junior member of the firm considered the transaction out of the line of their regular business.The senior partner then suggested your addressing yourself to Messrs.Edmonstone, Allan & Go, as parties thoroughly conversant with the lumber trade, aud therefore most likely to take up the transact\u2019on.You conferred with Mr.Taylor and myself as to the probability of their doing so.I knew they had formerly done a large business as general merchants, bat I did not know enough of the recent course of their business to enable me to form an opinion.Mr.Taylor said they were among those he bad originally included calling upon.It was therefore decided that he should see them.__ He did see them.The proposition was favorably considered, but nothing could be determined until the return of an absent member of the firm.On his return the identical proposition which had been submitted by Mr.Taylor to others, was submitted to them, and the tranasaction was closed on that basis, as you told me, subject, however, to a reservation which showed on what strict business principles the negotiation was conducted on the part of Messrs.Edmonstone, Allan & Co.Their letter of credit was only to be issued when they should receive a satisfactory report from their legal adviser in Toronto, as to the sufficiency and position of the collateral security you proposed giving them.This, so far as I was cognizant of the facts, and I am sure I knew them all, is a brief but faithful history of the origin of what must strike everybody in the least degree familiar with the course of the Inland Produce Trade of the country, as a very simple, straightforward was notning in' me Haitire oi me transaction itself, in the mode of its inception, in the progress of its negotiation, or in the character ot its conditions, involving the slightest departure from the ordinary usages of this market, with respect to advances on produce.Your\u2019s very truly, L.H.HOLTON.Hon.George Brown, Toronto.MR.TAYLOR TO MR.BROWN.Montreal, Aug.14, 1869.My Dear Sir,\u2014I have your letter of 10th inst., asking me to put in writing, for publication, all I know in connection with the credit for $20,000 negotiated last December with Messrs.Edmonstone, Allan & Co.Had I been in town you would have had immediate reply, and now I lose no time in stating, as briefly and distinctly as I can, what I know of the transaction in question.»;it was in December last, and in the office of the Hon.L.H.Holton, you stated to me your desire to obtain a credit on some first class house here, for $20,000, to get out four or five millions of feet of hard wood sawed lumber, for which you had offers, at remunerative prices, and which you desired to accept.It was proposed that the lumber, or its proceeds, should be applied to the payment of the drafts, and in addition, as collateral security, you offered to mortgage real estate of very considerable value ; and you asked me to undertake the negotiation.The transaction thus proposed, was reasonable and mercantile, the security sufficient, and the commission adequate ; aud I had no hesitation in offering it, in general terms, to some six or seven first class houses, whose business and circumstances justified my bringing it before them.One of thesa entertained the proposal so far as to warrant my eubmittiog your name ; and only after some hours consideration was it declined\u2014one ot the partners, however, being favourable.Another of these entertained it still more, and so far as to desire me to introduce yon to them, which I did, and the negotiation was afterwards so far closed with them as to lead to the exchange of letters of bargain ; when the junior partner interposed an objection which caused its termination.The senior of this firm suggested Messrs.Edmonstone, Allan & Go.Now, the fact was, I had called, of my own motion, on Messrs.Edmonstone, Allan & Uo., without finding any one of the partners within; and now I called again and saw two ot the firm.The matter was then in course, and in general terms submitted to them, but without mention at the time of your name, and they, in turn, so far entertained it as to say they would consult with a leading member of their firm, then in Quebec, but ex lected home on the following nay.A day intervened, and the following one was Saturday, and as you desired to close your business here, if possible on that day, so as to be enabled to reach Kingston that night, and as it had become late before I had been able to ascertain the return of the partner who had been absent, you went down yourself to the office of Messrs.Edmonstone Allan & Go., taking with yon the letter specifying the terms and details of the transaction which had been addressed a day or two before to the firm previously referred to, and withdrawn to be submitted to Messrs.Edmonstone Allan & Co., as the basis of the transaction proposed, to bring the negotiation to issue at once.The transaction, therefore, although completed by yourself, had been first proposed by me to Messrs.Edmonstone, Allan * Co.and favourably viewed by them, without knowledge of your name, and consequently its inception, as with them, was ours.\tp I have no hesitation, in conclusion, to avow my belief that had not the matter been thus opened to those gentlemen, yon would not have thought of them, but would have gone off as you proposed doing_if we were 8UC\u201cess.ful here-to negotiate for the desired advance in Albany or New York.I am, dear Sir, Yours truly, THOS.M.TAYLOR, Of Taylor Bros., Hon.Geo.Brown, M.P,P,, Toronto.Messrs, edmonstone Allan & go.to Mr brown.C,.T\tMontreal, August Î4.\u201cir\u2019-In answer to your letter of the 10th US.t0 fUrmBh you with a statement Of ton ^rnoum3t(ailces \u201connected with the credit of $20,000 grantea to you last year for carrying on lurber operations at your Mills in Bothwelf we beg to say, that the application was made to us at our office here b/ Mr.T ^ Taylor Broker purely as a matter of business ;

seven in the Pre \u201ctery of Hamilton, and six in that of London \u2018l'his, we think, is not a satisfactory state of lags, and seems to im dicate a dearth of suit fye young men.There are about 20,000 comr fenicants or members of the Church, and nearf 40,000 people hear the Gospel preached from | abbath to Sabbath.300 Prayer Meetings\u2014in t i_i words of the Report-do homage to a prayerUearing God.Christ\u2019s servants are aurrounde jby seven hundred Eiders, and over 2,500 si idren have in one year been baptised withi.' .\u2019Jer pale.This, so far, speaks well for the e.rgy and faithfulness of this branch of the Chi: The tables prepared Statistics, have app great care.16b.by jthe Committee on .ently been got up with They pre tint to us at a glance the history of the Church, eased from 110 in 1856, lembership has increased Aver 6,000.\t78 Minis- le sitting of the Supreme 1860.The value of the actual condition and The Ministers have inc to 150 in 1860.The i during the same perio ters were present at t: Court in 1856 ;' 112 in Church property has increased from $350,000 to $490,000.The dot on that property has however increased ai a far greater rate, from $52.000 to $102,000 ir three years.This, we think, is an ugly feafl.ire ; aud as Church property is but an iniHfferent investment, we would not be surprised if a sum of $10,000 is spent annual'y-.as in -est for this sum.We confess we do nbt, likte .Ue idea of the house of find.\tla'-.'îA \u2014 - \\J Q6 IUvsuu T2£/wx\u2019xVriiu\u2019»n\u2019 txxlD respect.The Committee, however, seem quite alive to the evils of such a position, for they state their fear \u201cthat a'leaven is working which in our towns and citie\u2019s may lead to disastrous results.\u2019 We think that the [vitality of a Church may generally be very èafely estimated by the amount of its pecuniary contribution to the cause [of the Gospel.In 1856 the Ministers\u2019 stipend was $55,000,1 in 1860 $76,000.The total congregational c.ontributions in 1856 were $120,000, in 1860, $135,000.It is singular to remark that amongst all this progress, the contributions to the various schemes of the Church have steadily declined during the last five or six years.The College itself, the very heart of the Church, receives from each member only 25 cents yearly.It is very plain that the Pres-byterian Church of Canada has fallen asleep over her \u201cschemes,\u201d and that a rousing up is needed.There are now 44 Manses built, leaving about 106 Ministers to be provided with those necessary appendages.This is to be regretted.Every pastor ought to have his Manse.Amidst all the whirl and excitement of this fast agf, we love to look back to the quiet Manses of our Fatherland, and the very word itself has an endearing signification.The next general meeting of this Synod is to be held in this City in the Coté Street Church on the first Tuesday of June, 1861, at halfpast 7 P.M.We presume if nobody forbids the bands, that the much talked of Union with the .United Presbyterian Church will then be consummated, and if such be the case, and no firebrands appear, it cannot fail to be a meeting of great interest to all true hearted Presbyterian, in general, and to all in this city in particular.Surely every Presbyterian door will be thrown open to receive these men of God.We have heard it stated, on good authority, that many of the brethren are prevented from attending these interesting meetings by the expense ot the journey, and we can well believe it.Now, as the people cannot complain of being, overburdened in contributing to the schemes ' would it not be well to have a Synodical collection throughout the Church, with a view to ensure the attendance of every Miuister at next meeting in Montreal, We had almost omitted to relate that an average amount of about $7 per head is annually raised by this Church.This measure by the amounts given in other denominations would be reckoned a very fair rate.The M.E.' Church, the wealthiest in the United States' contributes a little over thirty cents a member.' Still it is far below what ought to be given.How painful the thought that thousands and tens of thousands can be subscribed in a few days for the entertainment of an earthly prince \u2014whilst that cause which ought to be dear to every Christian heart, and over wnich the Sovereign of all the earth watches with a jealous eye, is allowed to languish or well nigh expire.THE YORK ROADS JOB.(From the Globe.) Of all the numerous cases of Execntive malversation and actual stealing of the public money, which have disgraced the career of the present Government and ruined the finances of the country, the York Roads Job\u2014completed just on the eve of the last session\u2014is, perhaps the most daring, and the most flagitious.\u2019 A brief history of these Roads is necessary to understand the nature and extent of the robbery which has been jointly perpetrated by Messrs.Galt and Beaty.The three great Turnpike Roads leading into this city, ana over one or other of which all the non-railway traffic between the metropolis of Upper Canada aud the adjacent country must pass, were sold by Government in 1850, to Mr.James Beaty, leather dealer, for the sum of $300,000.In a short time the object of the purchase became apparent.Mr.Beaty having secured ample resources in the shape of Tolls upon the public roads, for which he never intended to pay, established a Government newspaper, and called it the Leader.This newspaper has defended every public job, every questionable act of each successive Administration; from that day to this, it has been maintained at a heavy annual loss.But what of that?Mr.Beaty has been permitted to replenish his coffers with the proceeds of the heavy tolls levied from the farmers of all the surrounding townships\u2014been permitted to keep the roads in the most disgraceful sta e of repair that his profits might be the greater\u2014the security he gave as the term of purchase has been surrendered to him\u2014and the annual payments due by him to the Government for purchase-money and interest have been allowed to fall into arrear to an enormous amount; while casual advantages and occasional gratuities to his Editors, a Grand Trunk Direclorship to himself, and a bountiful flow of Government advertisements to his paper have fielped to compensate him for his services in white-washing the Administration and assailing the Opposition, All this, however,has Been long known to the public.What we are now about to relate has not been known.It will be recollected that the manifest collusion between theGovernment day of purchase ten years before I T» enforce payment of this sum would have been to kill the Leader.To enforce payment, was, therefore, the last thing that Government thought of.And a plea was found.And what does the reader thing the plea was ?Why, that Mr.Beaty had been injured in the results of his speculation by the Railways, and that a large ded action should be struck off his debt in con-sequ ence I Of course Government received Mr.Beaty\u2019s shaih with all due gravity\u2014weighed it deeply\u2014pondered over it in Council\u2014an i finally passed an order that Mr.Langton and Mr.Worthington should examine Mr.Beaty\u2019s allegations and report.These gentlemen heard all Mr.Beaty\u2019s represemations, and made a full report of strange hypothetical calculations as to what Mr.Beaty might have gained in certain contingencies\u2014or might have lost in others ; and concluding with the suggestion that if any relief was to be given to Mr.Beaty,the very utmost he could pretend to claim was that the arrears of interest then duo to Government should be presented to him ! But with retresh-iug candour coming from two Government functionaries, they declared at the same time that the York Roads are better property now than the day Mr.Beaty bought them\u2014and that even taking Mr.Beaty\u2019s own figures and statements, he had drawn from them in hard cash a considerable sum beyond what he had paid for extensions and repairs of the roads and for interest on the purchase money, It is useless to waste time in exposing the flimsy pretext put forward by Mr.Beaty, and the absence of even plausible reasoning for the suggestion of Messrs.Langton & Worthington.The Railways were chartered, and one of them in course of construction, when Mr.Beaty made the purchase, and were an element in the bargain.The Railroads have interfered very little with legitimate traffic-much less than was anticipated.Moreover, Mr.Beaty bought these roads subject to the following condition :_ \u201c The tolls to be collected on the said roads shall be fixed from time to time by the directors of the said company under the provisions of the Statute 12 Vic.chap, 84, and shall not exceed the maximum amount of tolls orovided in the said Statute.\u201d \u2014but under cover of clauses foisted into subsequent Acts relating to Joint Stock Companies, Mr.Beaty exacts higher tolls than the maximum allowed when the roads were conveyed to him The claim was therefore utterly baseless.But mark the sequel.The Government were ready enough to avail themselves of Messrs.Langton & Worthington suggestion\u2014but even that did not satisfy Mr.Beaty.A ccordingly, just before Parliament met last session, Mr.Beaty and his editor proceeded to Quebec, and actually whipped theGovernment not only into granting all that Messrs.Langton & Worthington had suggested,\u2019but infinitely more! The scandalous transaction was closed while Parliament was Bitting\u2014but no consent was asked, not a word breathed beyond the Council Chamber, Mr.Brown, however, having moved for a return of the arrears due on the purchase money of all the roads sold in Upper Canada, and concealment being no longer possible, a return was brought down showing that no arrears were due for the York Roads, but with an obscure note at the bottom to the effect that $29,269 27 had been \u201callowed\u201d to Mr.Beatv \u201c on certain conditions\u201d stated in an Order in Council, dated 1st March, 1860\u2014or precisely two days after Parliament assembled ! ga-ve uoiraJ-mtJc uS-wohia'' move to have this order sent down.No opportunity was afforded to make the motion during the balance of the session, but Mr, McDougall, being a member of the Committee of Publie Accounts, moved for its production there, and at the last moment was laid before the Committee.Under Mr.Gaits direction, the Committee\u2014packed as usual with Government supporters\u2014merely referred to the document in their report without expressing any opinion upon it.They however, reported it for the information of the House m these words :-\u201c The view taken by the Government is given in the concluding passages of the Order in Council on the sub ject, which will be found in the appendix marked M.\u201d This, was on (he last day but one of the session.Now, will the reader believe that this report has since been printed for circulation, but the Order in Council does not appear \u201c Appendix M\u201d has been deliberately suppressed ! A rascally job is perpetrated, the money is illegally and unconstitutionally sur-rendered for the benefit of a private individual under the very nose of Parliament, and when a Committee of that body report the facts, the document is garbled, the most important portion of it suppressed, in order to prevent the damning facts from coming to light ! Fortu nately, more than one member of the Commit-tee took notes of the document, and we are thus enabled to expose the scandalous transac-tion for the reprobation of the public, and let ns hope, for the speedy and condign punishment of all the parties concerned in so highhanded a proceeding.And what were the disclosures of this precious Order in Council?Why, we are assured it entirely cancelled the agreement of 18 50 !_ it discharged Mr.Beaty from his liability to pay $120,160 for instalments past duel \u2014 it made over to him as a gilt the enormous sum of $33,843 65c owing to the country for past due interest I\u2014it made over to him as a gift the entire interest on his whole debt of $300 -000 for two years from 1st March 1860, or $3o\u2019-040 1\u2014it reduced the interest, for five years further from 5 per cent, to three per cent., dr $30,-0401\u2014and it actually discharged him from paying one shilling ofthepurchase*money until 1st March, 1869 I In other words, the Ministry, with the sanction of Sir Edmund Head, but without the sanction or even the knowledge of Parliament, handed over to -a newspaper supporter as a free gift, in opposition to the recommendation of their own Commissioners appoint-fu t0 ®*aminetbe state of his accounts, not less than $93 923 of the people\u2019s money\u2014and re- ptel an Ba rty t0 ^ to113 0a the Tork.Peel and Simcoe farmers, without the liability to pay a sixpence for the ownership of the Roads for nine years to come 1 EUfiOPEANAFfAIks.Toa Papers by the \u201clogle-Saxl on\u201d and \u201cPersia.\u201d GREAT BRITAIN.In the House of Commons on the 2d inst.; tne Government proposition in regard to forti} ncations was considered.The pending question was that a vote of two million pounds be granted for the works in question.Mr.Lindsay moved as an amendment, that the defence of the country chiefly rested on the navy, and that it was inexpedient to spend a large sum on land fortifications.A general debate ensued, in the course of which Mr.Bright made a long and characteristic speech in denunciation of the proposed scheme, and of the increasing burden upon the people for warlike purposes.Lord Palmerston earnestly appealed to the House to sanction the Government plan for the interests of peace and the security of the coun-try.The amendment was rejected by a vote of 39 against 268, and the vote was agreed to.The affairs of Syria were debated in both Houses, and Ministers explained that a protocol had been drawn up at Paris, by the Ambassadors of the Great Powers, in which it was determined that oa the requisition of the Porte, a force of 12,000 troops should be sent to Syria, half of which would be famished by France.It was provided that their stay should not exceed six months.Another protocol was also signed, calling, upon the Porte to carry out its engagements with respect to the Christians, which it had entered into in 1856, but it was provided that the right of intervention should be granted on future occasions.Mr.Bright deprecated interference in the affairs of Syria.Lord Palmerston replied, and asserted that Turkey had made great progress of late, and if left free from interference, except good advice, he oelieved her dissolution was not so near as predicted.On the first of August Lord Clyde was entertained by the warden and company of fishmongers in London.In response to a toast Lord Clyde said : I have been fifty yeais a soldier, and I can tell yon that the men in England, Ireland and Scotland have not deteriorated ; I say it boldly, that they are as obedient soldiers, when properly officered, as ever served in the British army.Lord Brougham, who was present, also made a speech.He said :\u2014 For one, he had no apprehension that peace would be broken, but mortals could o»ly see but a little way before them.The future was always more or less veiled ; but, at all events, it was right to be prepared, and to feel that we were safe.And here he would make the remark that he did not suspect the designs of any particular Power, and he hoped no power suspected us.People did not tike to be suspected, but then the best way to avoid being suspected was to be careful that your conduct should not be suspicions.Happen what might, let them rely upon their navy, and trust to the certainty that should an enemy set his foot on the sacred territory of this country, that foot should remain, and that enemy should never take it back again.Much depended upon war, much upon the skill with which our iron walls were drawn the COfUELESPONDKIfCE.(To the Editor of the Montreal Herald.) Sir,\u2014I notice by the papers that it is the intention to assemble the children of the different Sunday Schools at two points, on the occasion of the arrival of H.R.H.the Prince of Wales, for.the purpose of welcoming onr Illustrious visitor, by singing the National Anthem.Now this would have a magnificent effect, if properly arranged.But in my humble opinion, the very object will be in a great measure defeated, by dividing the company.All thebunday Schools will not muster over 5,000, and that is certainly a small enough number to be assembled in any one place, to give that grand effect to our National Anthem, which the occasion demands.I would suggest to the Reception Committee, that they should select the most fitting and convenient position for the assemblage of all the children of the different Protestant Sunday Schools, have the girls all dressed in white, and the boys decked out in their best bib and tucker, and not allow a single grown person to form part of the gathering.My idea of the most proper position, is, to request of the proper authorities the occupation of the enclosed Terrace in front of Christ Church Cathedral, where they would be well accommodated, and altogether isolated from the crowd.Another advantage to be gained by such an arrangement, would be, the assistance that would be obtained, (always with the proper permission) from the accompaniment of the magnificent Organ in the Cathedral, whose deep rolling, sounds would lend enchantment to the choir of 5,000 voices, fending the air with our Glorious Anthem.If.this should meet the views of those in authority, my word for it, Halifax will be outdone, Your Ob\u2019t Servant, SUNDAY SCHOOL.Montreal, August 10, 1860.Police Court.\u2014Two unimportant eases of assault were disposed of yesterday morning by fining the defendants five shillings each.Recorder\u2019s Court.\u2014There were fifteen prisoners tried at this.Court yesterday morning.The most noticeable case was that of two carters who were fined 20s.each for driving at a dangerous speed.around us, and much upon the great artillery with which they would be made to bristle, but he had every confidence in the resisting power of an armed nation\u2014of a nation capable of sending forth a large body of men armed with rifles, which, as the last six weeks had shown, could be brought into an excellent state of discipline, which military men would admit and even admire.These were the absolute and sure defences of this country ;

and in concert with the Sublime Porte the foreign troops shall act at all times in unison with the Turkish forces.The Protocol stipulates that,as he Great Powers who are giving their asistance to the Sultan, do not seek vengeance, but merely wish to discover the guilty parties, who are to be punished, no rigorous measures shall be taken except after a common inquiry in which the Porte will jointly assist.The above protocol necessitates an exchange of communications be tween the Great Powers, and consequent delay in the definite signing of thé convention.\u201d 11 ia stated in a Paris letter to the\" Daily News, that the alleged cause of the breaking up of the Conference is an unexplained split between France and Russia.Russia, it is announced, claimed the execution of certain promises which the Emperor had made some time since, in pursuance of which the Eastern question should be raised on the first opportunity, and, in fact, insisted that the moment had arrived for the partition of Turkey.Russia was ready to send 100,000 men to maks a short end of the business, but had no notion of intervention in Syria.It did not, however, suit the Emperor\u2019s purpose jto come into this scheme just now.A Paris despatch of the 3d says the following notice was posted up at the Bourse.\u201c All the Powers have agreed upon the condition of an European intervention in Syria.The Conference will assemble at three o\u2019clock, to sign the convention in reference to the measures to be taken in common.\u201d Another despatch gives the following summary ot the contents of the Convention, as agreed upon at the Conference.The intervention will last only as long as the Porte shall deem it advisable.A previous agreement is necessary for the regulation of all the military operations, and in order to determine the effective strength of the expeditionary forces, who are to be maintained at the charge of the respective powers.A separate article stipulates that the French troops already on the point of embarkation shall start without waiting for the contingents of the other powers, unless the representative of the Sultan should receive information from &yna which would render all intervention unnecessary.It is stated that Prussia had demanded that the stay of European troops in Syria shall be limited to six months.This proposition being vprbally supported by England had been accept-ed, and 12,000 men, half of them French, were to be despatched to Syria.The Force will be under orders of the Commissioners of the Powers and the Porte.Russia had receded trom her claims as to the occupation of Bulgaria, FRANCE.n.dr *nîe 0Q July 16.M- pioard France is at peace and does not wish for war.are Prosperous, Peace is so as-a that the systerh of our customs and our finances nas been reconstructed.That is all in favour of peace.But, then, why peace in the situation and war.in the estimates?M.le General Allard himself, in replying to M.d\u2019An-aelarrej saiii\u2019 ia a previous sitting, that if war ürwwT br8ak °ut it would be useless to ask for 40,000 men, and that the estimate, happily; during many years providing for 100,000, would furnish the necessary resources.He [M.Picard] declared that when, by the side of the introducer of the budget, he found so confidential and energetic an organ of the Government as M.Granier de Cassagnac, who proclaimed.the holiness and usefulness of war, and invoked the God of Armies, he was alarmed.He demanded a categorical explanation, in default of which he Should be compelled to believe in a.want of sincerity.If the Chamber is called on to vote a war budget, let it be said so clearly.He was not an advocate of peace at any price, but ia presence of a state ot peace he was in favour of a reduction of the estimates, and should accordingly vote against the measure, t M.le General Allard, government commissioner, said it was asked if the measure proposed was one of war or peace ?He replied most plainly that it was one of peace.He had already explained that all experienced military men, all who had most carefully watched over the organization of our army, had constantly affirmed that it was necessary for France to have at a given moment six hundred thousand men under arms.Let Austria and Prussia be asked why they take measures to keep 600,-000 men on a war footing.Peace exists, it is true, but is there nothing in the state of Europe to warn us that it is necessary to prepare for a case in which war might break out, and that it is necessary to be sure of being able to assume at any given moment an attitude worthy of France?\u201d M.le Marquis De Pierre said M.Granier de Cassagnac had invoked the God of Armies.He [M.de Pierre] and the orator were on that point by no means of the same religion.The religion which said \u201cthe God of Armies\u201d was the Jewish religion.The Christian religion said also \u201cGod,\u201d but added, \u201cpeace and good will among men.\u201d If God was, as had been said, the God of Armies, he [M.do Pierre] should feel a strong tendency to atheism.He maintained that the budget did not coat merely 445,000,000f., but l,341,348f.War, ideas of war, material of war, comprise four-fifths of the entire budget of the country.With regard to anxieties about Europe, he said, \u201cYon are afraid of Europe.\u201d Several members rose and protested.M.De Pierre said he expected as much.No, France is not afraid of Europe, but Europe is very much afraid of France.Now he wished neither to be afraid of any one, nor to make any one to be afraid.\u2014Their army of 600,000 men was causing great disquietude in Europe.They might have a national guard of 400,000, and thus much reduce their army.They ought to strive to counteract that prejudice in France, that the .finest title a man could obtain was that of a soldier.Chataubriand has said, \u201cFrance is a .soldier ;\u201d but even if France were the best soldier, would not the title of the \u201c best cultivator,\u201d the \u201c better manufacturer,\u201d be better worth having.NAPLES AND SICILY.The text of the Convention signed at Messina between General Clarry andOolonel Medici is published in the Paris Moniteur.It is merely a military Convention for the evaevation of Sicily from motives of humanity.4,000 Neapolitans would guard the citadel of Messina, but would bombard the city unless Garibaldi attacked the citadel.The outer posts were occupied by Col.Medici.Garibaldi, on entering Messina, was leceived with great enthusiasm.It is now asserted that the military executions ordered by him at Melazzo were six, and that the men were shot as assassins, not as combatants.The dispatches state that Garibaldi was preparing to transport troops to the mainland.The Neapolitan Government was occupied with Convocation» of Pa liament.The Naples correspondent of the London Times, under date of July 29, says ;\u2014 Here in Naples, we are in perfect repose; and judging from facts on the surface, one might suppose that things are settling down.Talk there is enough of and to spare, and great Humbert are in in favour ot annexation.Still the party for the constitution, to which rally many of the old royalists, is very powerful.Unless, perhaps, Garibaldi lands, or material assistance comes to them from some other quarter, I feel assured that the Neapolitans will do nothing for themselves.They have from necessity long fallen into a habit of inaction, and are always looking towards,themselves and,out,of the country for redemption.Their principal occupa ion at present, therefore, is in talking largely, and creating panics, and, and exaggerating and distorting facts so as to interfere seriously with the course of things, and hamper the ministers, who are I believe désirons of cary^ng out the principles of the constitution, I have spoken highly of the intentions and honesty of the ministers but at the same time I cannot but acknowledge that they aie weak not from any want ot inherent force, but from the intrigues of the reactionists, andj the suspicions and panics of the liberals.Their efforts to do good are almost paralysed.Orders are given and are not executed, or drag their weary length along.Men high in office oppose the the constitution and are simply removed; soldiers rush through the streets and cut down peaceable citizens, and we hear nothing more about bringing them to justice.The camarilla were to be removed, but they still hang about Naples.The following intelligence, on which you may depend, will be likely to produce a great movement.Garibaldi has entered Messina, and a general fraternization has taken place.It is to be observed that he entered with a flag, from which the arms of the House of Savov were removed, and on the supposition.that the letter of Victor Emanuel has been presented, Garibaldi placed himself at the head of the revolution, and a landing may be expected shortly on the continent.He refuses the truce, and the Neapolitans preserve the citadel.The Neapolitan troops who were in the neighborhood are embarking rapidly on their return._ The \u201cOomitati\u201d generally, setting aside Victor Emanuel, now swear by and follow Garibaldi.Without assuming any great merit as a prophet, the upshot of it all will be that revolution will be permitted to march forward until it arrives here, and then the French will step in and arrest itand play their game, whatever that may be.Such has been the aim of our neighbors, I believe, from the beginning.Without this impulse from without I am of opinion that things would have gradually settled down into tranquility and confidence ; as it is, I think a disembarkation of Garibaldi and his forces may be expected as certain, and of course there will be other combinations.A truce for six months had received the support of Francs, Piedmont, and England, in order to give time for the consolidation of the new institutions if possible.ROME.August 2.\u2014The Pope has addressed an energetic letter to the Bishops of Syria.His Holiness laments the massacres which have been committed by the Druses, and expresses his horror of the barbarities of the Turks.Hhis Holiness further speaks in praise of the French expedition and exhorts the Princes to repress the excesses of the infidels, and to arrest the enemies of morality, justice, religion, and social order.AUSTRIA.Vienna, Aug.3.~Immediatsiy on his return from Topalitz the Emperor signified to his ministers, his desire that the whole of the reforms which for nearly a year alter the programme of Luxemburg have been in the course of elaboration, should be furnished and promulgated at as early a period as possible.It is staled that the approaching anniversary of the Emperor Francis Joseph\u2019s birthday [August 22 next] wifi be marked by the solemn promulgation of the reforms which are so impatiently awaited by all classes in Austria, The overdue mails by the steamer Simla, which had reached Aden with her main shaft broken, had been telegraphed via Trieste, and would reach England in 2 or 3 days.The dates are Shanghai, May 30, Hon» Kong Jane 7, Melbourne, June ?\u2022 There had been a.great panic at Shanghai among the natives, owing to the approach of the rebels.The native banks were closed, and trade was suspended.The steam transport Assistant had been totally lost, but all on board were saved.The commercial depression at Melbourne continued.The crops were promising.The gold shipments since last mail were over 130.-000 oqnees.No active measures had been taken against the rebels in New Zealand.Later.\u2014The above mails reached Marseilles on the 3d.The Calcutta dates are to June 18.The indigo prospects were more favorable, and quotations were 4 rupees higher.Exchange 2s Jd.Freights unchanged.Shirtings were dull but mule twist tending upwards.j \u2022 j, J\"0.\u2019''\u2019bat New Brunswick^ had done on the auspicious occasion of the visit of H.R.H.the Rrmceof Wales.In reference to the present festive demonstration, he felt grateful, not merely on Ms own account\u2014but on account of the great Institution with which he was connected.His own feeling were full to overflowing at Her Majesty\u2019s condescension in allowing the Heir apparent of the British Crown to visit this portion of Her dominions ; and he also dwelt with grateful anticipations on the probable happy effects of the Prince\u2019s visit to the United States, in binding together and consolidating more closely the two great branches of the British race ; effects which would exercise such a bénéficient influence on the liberties of mankind.On his recent visit to Newfoundland he made the acquaintance of Bishop Mullocb, and on seeing one splendid edifice belonging to the Church over which that Prelate presided, he was informed by the Bishop that it was a nunnery, and on enquiring the expense of its construction, the Rt.Rev.gentleman told him it cost $80,000.He afterwards on enquiring the cost of â Handsome cathedral belonging to the same church, was informed that it was erected at an expense of $140,000.On expressing surprise at the people being able to raise such large sums of money for these purposes, he was reminded by His Lordship that the secretwas, tha expenditure was for the people\u2019s own beneüî.And just so, when the public gave that great Institution, the Press, that support which was necessary for its success ; it was not simply for the benefit of its more immediate members that their money was expended ; but for their own general benefit.Mr.Chamberlin, of the Montreal Gazette, also responded.He was delighted with the general appearances of this city since he had enjoyed the opportunity during the few last days of inspecting it : spoke of the advantage of a union of the Colonies,\u2014their policy under the present system was necessarily too narrow and and crippled,\u2014which prostrated their arrangements, and precluded that unity and freedom of action, necessary to give full and strong expression to the voice of the people.The people of the ' Northern districts all possessed those strong and sterling characteristics which always made the inhabitants of Northern latitudes predominant.Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, lying as they were in such proximity should never be separated.There should be an union, and he was satisfied from the expressions of sentiment that he had heard that the feelings of the people tended in that direction, and not only towards a union of the lower Colonies, but of the whole North American Provinces.He felt satisfied that the visit of the Prince of Wales would tend to that object.He felt proud at the reflection that when they honored the Press, they at the same time honored themselves.He most unhesitatingly asserted that the entertainment of this evening was unprecedented in these Colonies ; and would form an example for the sister Provinces in all time to come.Mr.Barker of the Press of Upper Canada also made some very appropriate and pleasant re- TY| fIc S The next toast was \u201c the Press of the United States.\u2019, Mr.House, in a brief speeech m responding to this toast, observed that the visit of the Prince was not simply a national, but an international demonstration.He extremely regretted that Mr.Woods of the London Times was unexpectedly called away.He spoke of the generous hospitality and kindness he (Mr.H.) had received at the hands of His Worship the Mayor, as well as from other inhabitants of the city.The Rev.Dr.Blackwood of the Philadelphia Enquirer, also responded to this toast.He said it was far in the evening ; but he could not refrain from making a few observations ; he would he recreant to his own feelings if he did not endeavour to give them vent.He was a resident of Philadelphia, which the New York people were in the habit of calling a small village ; but as an instance of what this village was, he would say that some of their morning papers circulated 65,000 copies per morning.This would give them an idea of what an American village was.He gloried in a free press ; it not only assisted in bringing talent into notice, but was itself a great means of maturing talent.When he visited this city years ago he officiated in a Kirk which more resembled Noah\u2019s ark than anytMng else he could compare it to.Now St.John could boast of some of the finest ecclesiastical edifices, to be found on the Continent.He could not help expressing his admiration of this magnificent Province, watered as it is by noble rivers ranking in point of beauty and grandeur among the finest in the world.\u2014 He also visited some of the manufactories in this city, where he had seen ore manufactured into the finest pliable iron three hours after it had been dug from the bowels of the earth ; and he did not hesitate to say that there was no manufactory in Great Britain which could accomplish the same process with greater facility.\u2014 As a native of the Mother Country he was prepared to assert that no railroad in the United Kingdom could surpass that lately constructed in this Province.So far as New Brunswick was concerned it stood pre-eminently higher in respect to its resources than any other of the North American Colonies ; it had coal and other minerals, lime and timber in abundance ; the Province had a glorious future before it ; nature had done great things for it.The demonstration and entertainment that they were then enjoying was a most convincing and satisfactory proof of the high esteem in which the Press\u2014the fourth Estate\u2014was held in this Province.He also spoke approvingly of the loyalty of this Province, manifested during the recent visit of the Prince of Wales, and stated that although he himself was now residing in a foreign country, he still felt as devoted attachment and loyalty to the Queen of England as any inhabitant of New Brunswick, or of any other portion of the British dominions could possibly feel.Before sitting down he would make one more observation : previous to his leaving the United States the whole country was divided and sub-divided by party agitations, and he heard a full-blooded Yankee suggest that as they could not agree among themselves, they had better take th» Prince of Wales, and make him President.The next toast\u201d Our Sister Colonies\u201d was very appropriately introduced by the Chairman.\u201c The volunteer movement in the British Colonies\u201d was next proposed and very appropriately responded to by Capt.Peters.The next toast was \u201c Mrs.Manners Sutton ; and the fair daughters ofNew Brunswick.\u201d Hon.Albert J.Smith being called upon stated that he was unprepared to speak ; and H.T.Gilbert Esq, and Charles N.Skinner Esq.then responded in a few appropriate remarks.Among an immense number of Volunteer Toasts Wm.Wright Esq.gave the President of the United States, to which W.H.Tuck Esq,, responded in his usual happy style.The health of the Chairman, Jas.A.Harding, Esq., was proposed by one of the members of the New York Press, and received with enthusiastic applause, shortly after which the Company separated, all highly pleased with the evening\u2019s enjoyment.In conclusion we cannot hut express our regret at the illness of Mr.Andrews of the Illustrated News and at the absence of Mr.Woods of theXondon Times,from whose well known ability we might also have expected eloquence of very high order; and that our space will not enable ns to give a detailed report of the speeches, instead of the above meagre outline.And one word more about Mr.Stubbs and the dinner.It was certainly one of the best served up dinners, both in respect to viands, and wines, that a Company ever sat down to in this Province.Too much praise cannot be awarded him for the manner in which he acquitted himself on thU occasion.Upwards of one hundred gentlemen were present on the occasion.During the evening a torchlight procession composed of the several fire brigades of thi* city took place.When they reached Stubbs Hotel the procession halted, and the members of it were addressed in very appropriate speeches by Hon.C.Macpherson, the High Sheriff of St.John, the Mayor of Montreal, T, W.Anglin Esq.of the Freeman, and Mr.Chamberlin of the Montreal Gazette.Atkins Band attended and discoursed excellent music during the evening^ COMPLIMENTARY DINNER TO THE PRESS OF ENGLAND AND AMERICA.(From the New Brunswicker.) The visit of His Royal Higness the Prince of Wales, having brought amongst us several of the representatives of the Press of England and America, whose object was to observe and report the most interesting, incidents connected with H.R.Highness\u2019s tour through these Provinces, the members of the Press of this City and their'friends determined on giving them a complimentary.Dinner, which according to previous announcement, took place on Tuesday evening at Stubbs\u2019 Hotel, at 8 o\u2019clock, James A Harding, Esq., High Sheriff, in the Chair; the Hon.J.H.Gray and F.A.Wiggins, Esq., Vice Chairmen.\t^7 After the clotlr was removed the health of Mer Majesty the Queen, was proposed from the chair, prefaced by appropriate remarks, and was drank with right hearty and local aeffiamt!
